I mean, not a bad question. Some things just don’t seem to make sense.
For example on Friday I was at a psychologist and he did some test with me. There was a question like “Do you need validation and encouragement from friends?” with yes or no. I’d tick yes because I feel like I kinda do to keep going (even if not specifically friends), but when I noted that I don’t have friends, he answered “no”.

There were other questions like that. At this point, “Do you easily remember phone numbers?” might literally just apply to phone numbers and absolutely no other numbers.

Better to ask I guess.

Oh boy, you haven’t met some Dell Optiplexes.

That shit, for whatever reason, can’t boot from internal DVD drive. I tried with 2 of them. Both had functional drives, I tried disabling secure boot, enabling legacy boot and some other settings which seemed related, but nothing worked. Then for shits and giggles I tried a USB DVD drive and that worked just fine.

I mean, they have a hole in the middle, so if I stack them they let stuff pass.

Meanwhile me with a CD book that has 17 bootable DVDs and CDs plus a separate DVD+RW for more random, less permanent crap and a portable USB DVD drive (the drive is sourced from e-waste and fails to write both DVD+/-RW and CD-RW at 4x, only 2.4x and 10x respectively work).

I like spinny media.

I mean, I also have a Ventoy disk, but I haven’t used it for a looooong time because it’s no fun, but discs are.
I just need a bigger backpack. The WRT54GL is taking up quite some space too.

Much cooler than ventoy, no?

If you ever catch me smiling at my phone, it’s probably because I started laughing randomly and it’s weird so I am staring at a blank screen which is something you don’t know but the whole thing suddenly looks normal.

Previously solved by facemasks.
I didn’t even have to interact with people much.
I want another pandemic. I mean, in a good way or something…

OH, come, on, commas, are, important,!

I often see people reply in other languages, even under English posts (usually in German over here).

Yes.

Developing? Is it?

Being a night person is a superpower.

You can work night shifts, get paid more, feel better than during the day, not miss business hours because you’re working at the same time as everyone else, and enjoy the outside without people in better air and no eye pain from the sun.
