Anyway, I'm only even paying attention to headers because my university moved all their mail services to Outlook a while back and now their spamtraps are killing email from within our own organisation so that's helpful.

Actual email: like 8kB

Headers added by outlook mail service: 20k

I mean, I know an extra 20k is nothing on the internet now, but I grew up with dialup and this just seems absurd

I especially hate bezel-less devices because like, a tiny bump that hits a key stress point like a corner might shatter edge-to-edge glass, but would barely scuff a metal or sufficiently tough plastic bezel

How are you all doing on this fine day, the 25th of Octember

Good news! Cat painkillers are quite a bit cheaper when I get them in large quantities

I really wish I had someone to work with who isn't like, "how do I look up a hostname?"

LRT I remember back when reading a thermistor required zero internet wifis at all.

Also apparently I've just completely lost the part of my filter that stops me from saying "Jesus fuck" out loud now so that's nice too

A fucking subway that should have cost maybe $10 just cost me $18 because I guess people on campus are a captive audience, but I'm definitely not going there ever again

Just wasted like two hours because we put 3TiB disks in an old system that doesn't understand >2TiB disks

But hey, if I ever need grains by the metric tonne, I know where to go now.

It's surprisingly hard to figure out where to buy crop grass seeds (oat, barley, wheat) locally, in quantities suitable for a person instead of a farm, and not at absurd markup. Looking at you, and your like $30 packets of seed, Amazon.

Literally my only reaction to absolutely everything at work today has been an incredibly tired "oh for fucks sake"

I just looked at our roll-off roof controller code and I hate whoever wrote this.

As individual customers, we don't always have a lot of visibility into how any given game was made. But when someone does get the story out there, and we DO learn about the level of exploitation happening, the least we can do is say "I'm not going to be part of this"
