a thought leader is the first few centimeters of unusable thought used to connect it to the thought takeup reel.

"People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones."

-- Donald Knuth

dont be like me, kids. if you're prone to heat migraines/ heat sickness and you gotta go out, take tylenol before you go. hydrate. eat something light. wear loose light colored clothing. wear sunglasses. wear a hat with a brim.

if you start feeling bad, hydrate. find somewhere to cool down. ice packs or cold water bottles behind your head, neck, and ears. peppermint candy, oil, or tea helps calm nausea. so does lemon. be safe out there.

Did you cut a ticket for it yet?

i’m already figured inside the machine

Didn’t ask to be born under regime’s routines
But it taught me to read, and say what i seen

Stream's currently looping quarters's quarterly -ession

It deeply bothers me that, in describing a building that resembles three sides of a rectangle, I can't think of a single good simple alternative to the term "U-shaped" that isn't "horseshoe-shaped".

Any ideas?

So apparently Dark Souls III has a root exploit through a flaw in the engine allowing the game's anticheat to ACE.

Good. Excellent. Oof. CVE-2021-34170 for your bathroom reading enjoyment.

the fact that the ATX standard has 12V is really handy in that it makes it easy to replace the PC Speaker in your computer with a real actual car horn

safety recall on several BIPAP, CPAP, and mechanical ventilators 

Heads-up via twitter.com/madblqscientist/st on Twitter, who has further commentary: several breathing assist devices manufactured by Philips under various brandnames used a sound abatement foam material that can degrade and release carcinogenic compounds into the air the user is breathing.

The official recall page is usa.philips.com/healthcare/e/s and describes which devices are affected and the claims process.

finishing your sentences is great and all, but have you ever tried

An open letter to software developers. (micro-rant) 

Dear software developers,

If you work on a product that insists on requiring a networked login yet doesn't provide a way for the user to mark multiple IP addresses and/or systems as valid to remain logged in, good news! You have found the next feature that needs developing and everything else should stop until it's done.

If that's not your decision, find whose it is, and hire bouncers to make sure they have to enter their full password every time they try to open any door in their house, personal vehicle, or office.

Sincerely and with all love,
An Actual User of Software Who Is Tired of Logging In Yet Again Just Because They Brought Their Laptop into Another Room in ihe Same Damn House.

Do you feel old yet, that baby from the Nevermind album cover now looks exactly like the sort of person who’d play that album over and over

The british term for "twinks" should be "assless chaps"

-, body, furry meta 

Ik this isn't healthy, but I feel resentment when I notice an artist only ever draws slim and "normal" body types, especially if they're an experienced artist who has a very refined personal art style

Even if the artist themselves haven't done anything wrong, it just bugs me

I don't intend to kinkshame by saying this ofc but: fat people exist outside of kink, outside of fatfur. I want to see art where fat people are allowed to exist and be people
