Some folks call it a Sling Blade, I call it a Kaiser Blade.

My younger brother tried out all of my inventions. He was “willing”, which really meant he never knew what I was asking him to do until it was too late.

That’s fucking wild. I have two cards that are occasionally declined because they want to make sure I’m making the transaction. I can afford it but I’d be pissed paying a fee because my credit card company suspected I might not be the one wanting to upgrade to a second phone or whatever.

We drinking again? I still haven’t stopped from last night.

I’m on mine far more often than I’m in a car. I think Tesla found out that I point and laugh at any cyber trucks I see at red lights while I’m out and is trying to kill me.

Back when I did stuff for the sake of doing it, I mapped DAW transport buttons to these. I never bothered replacing them when they broke because I moved to a jog wheel to scrub through much more efficiently.

Since at some level we’re all dying, I feel like I can safely tell you that with great power there must also come – great responsibility!

Or were you looking for “Remember, with great power comes great responsibility” from the movie?

Or possibly “All power corrupts, absolute power…” “… is even more fun” if you prefer old school BOFH to Spider-Man.

My favorite was "here’s Exchange 2003, you’ll figure it out. We seem to be sending out thousands of emails every few minutes and are on all the spam lists. See you in a bit. ".

That’s what they did to me 20-odd years ago. I did my best to train up the guys that came after me, but I am only one guy. I hope they’re not still doing that.

There’s a joint in a little New Mexico Town that has amazing frybread. I wish I could remember where. It was somewhere I stopped on a whim on the way through.

Children have all the fun.

Dammit, I saw this too late. I have 4k that I had earmarked for another motorcycle that I totally would have spent on this instead. I’ve got a buddy up in NC I’ve been meaning to visit and we could totally have road tripped to pick that bad boy up.

I would have sold my car to ride around in that.

I’ve had to explain to three different people that they’re not getting a production window on Christmas Eve. I’m the only person in the office from the day after Christmas until January 2.

The people who don’t understand what you mean but are obese are more likely to pipe up online.

The prevailing wisdom for dealing with trolls in the past has been report, block, and move on. You never know if someone is going to thrive on that kind of conflict and a whole lot of motherfuckers love it.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong because honestly I don’t know. I’m just sad they’re running off people contributing to their community and mad that they’re sexually harassing people.

I’ve thought about getting an air fryer just for this. I usually use the oven or toss it in a pan.

If I’m having leftover pizza for lunch while smoking a brisket or ribs I’ll toss a couple of slices on the smoker on an uncoated paper plate. That’s actually my preferred method but I refuse to crank up a smoker for leftover pizza.

people struggle with the concept of federation and picking a server

This is a HUGE reason. I didn’t know when I first signed up for Lemmy that I was on what is essentially a tankie instance. I didn’t know when I signed up for Pixelfed that I wasn’t going to be able to see shit because the first server I signed up for wasn’t really federated with anyone and I’ve mostly given up on it. I still can’t see a bunch of stuff on Mastodon without switching through several accounts with no rhyme or reason.

I’ve said before that I obviously like it here because I’m using the services, but it’s not easy. Most people don’t know about the fediverse, and most of those that do want to be passive about maintaining their social media. Most of the fediverse is built for nerds.

Been using Thunderbird for almost 20 years. It was good enough that long ago and it’s pretty awesome these days.

I already voted so I can’t vote for him either.
