    If only there was a way to keep files on a device you can keep in your home. Maybe even set up a closed system that you can access from everywhere without having to rely on Google’s servers 24/7.

    Oh wait, there is. Nevermind.

    As much as I’m talking shit, I get it. At the end of the day convenience is a hell of a drug.

    They have a few good jokes here and there, but the overall plot for the majority of the episodes are just so lame. Even all the way up to season 10 things like NFTs crypto, and COVID would have been a one off joke not the entire plot of the episode. The eyePhone episode is subtle compared to how in your face these new seasons are with “current” events. And these new seasons are just fanfare mixed with topical bullshit. “Hey, remember all the characters from the show and their catch phrases? Now watch this episode about NFTs or an episode about the King of Space that feels like it was written for a completely different show.”

    I’ve been falling asleep to Futurama for almost 15 years and I’ve seen every episode dozens of times (I’m literally watching season 3 in the background right now as I procrastinate on sleep). I even watch it when I’m working out. But when it reaches season 11, I just restart the series. Which is a shame because there are some decent episodes in the new seasons. But I’m kind of avoiding them like the plague after I watched half of season 12 and found myself more pissed off than entertained.

    Five Finger Death Punch is as close as you can possibly get to pop music without leaving the genre of metal completely. I don’t judge people if it’s their jam, I just think they are extremely mediocre at best. It’s no coincidence that the majority of their most popular songs are covers.

    But hey, people like what they like.






  • Yeah, I agree with that. And their solution instead of actually fixing the problem is throwing money and computing power at it in the hope that brute force will make it “better.” When in reality it hasn’t even changed that much in the past year besides more eloquently saying complete bullshit. Call it a conspiracy, but I think with nobody ever telling the truth on the internet, LLM’s have only taught themselves to bullshit everyone into believing them.

    I drive a small 4 cylinder Honda. Gas mileage is amazing. If anything, gas is so cheap compared to groceries I’m thinking about getting a Costco membership even though I have to drive for almost an hour and a half. A week’s worth of groceries at Kroger is almost $100 for one person. It costs me $65 to fill up my gas tank which lasts me 2-3 weeks. I might as well just drive the extra distance and buy bulk.




  • I’m in the process of this now. I haven’t used Linux in like 15 years so I’m starting slow with my laptop. My goal is to be free from windows on my desktop and laptop before I have to go to Windows 11. I have to use Windows 11 at work and it’s fucking miserable. I can understand some of the changes from a personal usage standpoint, but from a work related one there are so many features that just make productivity worse. I’ve had to change shit in the registry like 7 times just to get some quality of life features that they changed.
