Today seems like a good day to watch Dr. Strangelove, for no reason in particular
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman

Today the Phillies face the last pitcher that threw a no-hitter FOR them.
Yes I am staring at Wireshark
Starting a band called Gratuitous ARP, send me your contact info if interested and we'll network

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch:
This is Victor. We are going for our families.
This is Christina. We are going for our teammates.
This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.
Yes, humans are garbage on net, but the fact that we can shoot people around the moon and bring them back safely is amazing. I'm grateful for humanity's curiosity and ingenuity.
Might f around and watch all 7 games of the 2001 World Series while drinking a 12-pack of 16 oz. Yuenglings

Been thinking about how much tech bros love Stoicism since I saw this
In 1999, Mos Def rapped, “$69 billion in the last 20 years, spent on national defense but folks still live in fear.” Imagine how he'd have to rewrite those bars now

The government takes money from me in exchange for ostensible protection, and makes ME calculate how much I owe them, under threat of violence.
I've recently told 3 people that I'm autistic and they all said, "I never would have known!" It's great to know I can do a passable impression of a human if I just suppress every one of my needs and instincts.
I suppose this goes for just about everything from tech guy philosophers nowadays, treating something like empathy as a sort of made up new thing instead of a core part of what it’s meant to be a human being for hundreds of thousands of years. You know what’s not centuries old? Listening to Rogan
If you were trying to summarize the plight of American society in a single sentence, this would be a good candidate.
Designing embedded systems when I should be befriending squirrels smh
I have several promising career opportunities in front of me, but I would prefer to live in a yurt in the remote wilderness.
Constantly threatening to replace the kids' phones with pagers
It reminds me of PCB auto routers: good for specific tedious tasks, but if you want it to do all the work for you, you'll probably spend as much time tweaking it as you would just doing the work.
To put a finer point on it: it's about as good as an ok new grad. Its output almost never works, it doesn't display much good judgement, but it's a decent starting point. Probably good for boilerplate work, a lot like software.
