Software skills plus domain knowledge is a good combination, and I think it will remain viable in the future. But who the fuck knows?

Oh! I apologize for my misreading of your comment, and thank you for the clarification.

And it’s just banger after banger!

You ugh the old drip machine but not the cup/pod system? How dare! Kcups are an abomination and a symptom of everything wrong with this world!

A good drip machine is fine. Not great, but acceptable.

It is theoretically possible that we are basal in such away that mice are derived given a certain ailment, that a treatment doesn’t work on mice. However we are so damn closely related to mice that probability is vanishingly small, and in such cases where it is known about, they actually genetically modify the mouse to account for it.

They used to do fertility tests on hamster ovum to see if a human male’s sperm was viable. We are fucking close enough to hamsters a human sperm can cause a hamster ovum to start to divide.

Granted, I will agree with you: much animal testing is fucking horrific and deplorable. But it is generally reliable.

I didn’t formally study it, but yes! This is my take! I thought I kind of think I got bored with it when the simple chat interfaces came out. But it’s more than that. The marketing is horrible

This is what I do to. I would like to expand to adding calcium back to the water, but haven’t found a good guide.

But if I didn’t spend hours online talking about the importance of an real ebony fret board and the blood moon mahoganynbody only producing good sounds when it has the blood of the innocent infused on the fourth new moon of the seventh equinox, what would you suggest I do with my time? You don’t actually expect me to play my guitar do you?!?!

Ouch. This hurts. This hurts so much.

I am happy for you in that, a little surprised. But good for you!

Oh yes. I hate Dickens. Absolutely can’t stand him.

Is this sarcasm? I think if it stopped at the first dichotomy, or the second it would be fine. But it goes on for fucking ever.

This is basically my strategy too. Though, I tend to buy from Bandcamp first and foremost. I like that most of the time if I buy physical media (either vinyl or CD) on Bandcamp it comes with a digital download.

I was disappointed that Bandcamp was bought by a company a few years back, but nothing has changed… Yet.

The energy drink really brings out all of those flavor notes!

Doritos. And a gas station hotdog.

Ah. Well. I can not be blameless on this. I also probably use cat unnecessarily still. But less so with grep these days. I’m getting better… I swear!

Useless use of cat?

Yeah. I know. And I could tell, but it drives me batty. But also: thorn is an English character!!

Has someone who can mostly read Greek and English. I hate this. I hate this so much.

This assumes IBM will act rationally, which doesn’t have much recent precedence.
