Yes it is, if you have the means to do so. Embrace that inner child

Pretty great actually. On my first relaxation vacation with no specific agenda in several years. The beach is gorgeous, the breeze is cool and the drinks are flowing. Life can be good, sometimes anyway. Trying not to think about the work stacking up that will be waiting for me on my return.

Hurricane Harvey was a bastard of a storm.

I was up all hours of the night for days on end keeping tabs on the flood control reservoir at the end of my street only a few houses away, it got dangerously close to overflowing but fortunately never did.

Craziest thing, I remember being inside my house in the middle of the day all dark no power, and I hear the unmistakable sound of a military helicopter getting closer and closer and suddenly the house was starting to shake. I ran outside and looked up and there was a Blackhawk hovering no higher than 50 meters directly above my house and a soldier poking their head out the side looking straight down, I swear we made eye contact it was so close. Fucking wild.

If you’re hearing nothing back from any job applications at all, there might be a red flag on your resume you’re not aware of that’s preventing you from getting past the initial screeners. It could be as simple as the way you phrased something that’s not even necessarily a negative thing. You should have someone review your resume and look into sprucing it up. Happy to help if you’d like, DM me your resume and I can give it a look over and see if I see anything that stands out and might be preventing you from getting to the next step.

Perfect example of this is the movie Dogma. Kevin Smith has stated he would love to do a follow up on it, but he as the creator can’t because the IP is owned personally by Harvey Weinstein, and he refuses to give money to Harvey to license or buy it because obvious reasons. So, his own creation is locked away from him because a monster put up the money for the original before Kevin or most people knew they were a monster.

Fueling our cars with tacos would indeed be a lot cheaper than gasoline, but unfortunately the emissions from low Taco-Bell-grade fuel would accelerate global warming

Tonight. YOU.

That’s because it probably was

I tried this with my son, who is now 17 and not nearly as computer literate as I was by his age, let alone Linux literate at all. I think it’s a generational thing, as a kid growing up in the 90s I HAD to learn how to administer our PC at a higher level to do the things I wanted to do. Now with easy apps and tablets and auto-installation of all-the-things you just don’t need to be an advanced user to do what you want to do. This is just my experience, YEMV

Kerbal Space Program 1. I bought it in early beta for like $14, have received all subsequent updates for free because I bought it so early, sunk literally thousands of hours of enjoyment into it and come out with a solid basic understanding of orbital mechanics.

I cant think of a better return on investment I’ve ever made.

I’ve tried to quit cigarettes more times than I can count, and replacing it with vaping has been the only thing that’s worked for me. Haven’t had a puff of a cigarette since June of 2020. Is it good for you? Hell no, and I’m still working on cutting vape too. But, it’s got to be better. I don’t wake up coughing every morning anymore, and I can exercise more without wheezing.

I didnt know about Explainshell before this post and it looks like an excellent site to share with some of the greener Linux sysadmins on my team at work. I’ve just set a reminder to share it Monday morning

As I rounded the corner I felt muscular and compact, like corned beef.

Fuckin, way she goes

I bought Kerbal Space Program 1 for $14 when it was in version 0.16 I think, before it was in early access on Steam. I’ve received all updates and DLC for free since then because I got in before a certain date, logged definitely thousands possibly near 10k hours in it, and it is by far the biggest bang for my buck I’ve ever gotten from a video game ever. Thank you HarvesteR and original dev team!

There was a VHS passed around my high school, cleverly disguised with both the sleeve and sticker for the comedy classic “Airplane!” but was in fact Jenny McCarthys Playboy video. There’s enough in that previous sentence to sufficiently approximate my age haha

As long as you’re interviewing remotely, yes absolutely just a little dram to take the edge off of your nerves can do wonders.

Highly recommend the ice caves at Eisriesenwelt! We visited Salzburg many years ago and made a day trip out to this cavern system and it was an awesome experience. Also highly recommended stopping and having a pint and lunch at the restaurant between the skylift and the rest of the walk up the mountain. Breathtaking view for a meal.
