I think of how many guards across Skyrim used to be an adventurer before they took an arrow to the knee, and think LLM output would be an improvement there.

Let the writers write the stories and quests. I am far less attached to what random background NPCs have to say, but it’s nice they’d say something.

How do you separate the men from the boys on a Greek freighter?

Nope. I think it’s mostly a dead idea.

My mom is still hoarding (for me) a set of fine china dishes I inherited from my grandmother. They’re really nice.

But what am I going to do with them? Add specific furniture to my too-small home to store them so I can pull them out for certain dinner parties? We barely host for dinner anymore, and when we do, we keep it casual.

I think china cabinets go along with a whole bunch of social niceties that were important in the 20th century and have since withered.

Which password manager? I had the same problem with BitWarden until I found a buried setting to tweak each password domain. Maybe there’s a badly advertised feature in yours, too?

I always assumed people used those sites because they didn’t want to get in trouble for “actually” pirating software.

And yet the workers are still making shit wages. It’s absurd.

Because I’m already high and forgot I don’t have any food in the house.

I seriously think this happened. I never used to see people signaling right and then turning left from a MIDDLE lane. People used to at least slow down at a red light before making a right turn. My dashcam went from an insurance policy to a highlight reel of absolute idiocy every time I drive.

I think it’s time everyone gets a road test every time they renew their drivers license.

I mean fuk people get shot by their pets there…

This made me laugh so fucking hard. Because it’s true.

It does make them special in one very important way: it’s much harder for police to catch them.

An amazing disguise. The smell didn’t give ANYTHING away.

I heard it was lightning strikes hitting unicorn horns.

Do you have a better source than mine?

Most of them were relatives we stayed with.

There were only like, maybe 7 occasions where I broke into a random home to inspect the toilet.

Related to why I’m not allowed back into Belgium ever again.

That’s the right answer.

It seems weird in this context, but the normal case is if you’re paying with a gift card. If I had a $110 dinner and had a $100 gift card that was subtracted off the total, the expected tip would be off the $110, not just the $10 paid out of pocket.

Well it’s not a glop nor a goop. It’s not really an ooze either.

So I’m saying yes. It’s a goo.

I run everything in docker. My docker volumes are all subdirectories under /media, which is the root of my NAS. If an app only needs something specific, docker only mounts, eg /media/movies. If the app needs many subdirectories (like backups), it gets the full /media mount.

All the docker data/configs are under /docker/volumes (eg /docker/volumes/jellyfin), and every container is configured with compose in /docker/docker-compose.yml.

The biggest hurdle for me was creating a sane docker-compose file that defines where everything lives. Once that is standardized, adding and maintaining your apps becomes easy.

If you’re very new to this, even a dumb LLM like ChatGPT can be very helpful to explain what’s inconsistent, redundant, or incorrect with your config. If you are lost I would strongly suggest this as a way to get oriented. But DO NOT copy and paste anything into the LLM containing passwords, tokens, keys, etc. if you accident do, change those keys before finishing up your project.

With docker there’s no duplication- you have one copy of everything you need and you just point each container at the same data. This makes it trivial to keep file consistent across your apps and doesn’t waste space.

Strawberry forever. Probably because it was a childhood comfort staple.

Mango is also great when you can buy them by the caseload in peak season.

Also tomato jam! It’s not the usual thing you’d spread on a piece of toast by itself, but as an addition to something like a grilled cheese sandwich it’s absolutely delicious. Like ketchup got all dressed up for a fancy night out.

It actually doesn’t. They have this absurdly high quality toilet paper that’s about 1.5x longer than the squares I always see in Canada, and it’s got to be like quilted 3 ply. It unrolls reluctantly and I swear I hear an angel chorus every time I pull a sheet.

Looks like a pretty typical European toilet? What’s the problem?

The large flush button looks like it got clipped on the left but that could be a weird artistic decision.

I’m on vacation in Switzerland right now and I’ve seen this in a bunch of people’s home bathrooms.

Maybe because you’re less likely to accidentally whack the roll and knock it to the floor? 🤷‍♂️
