Due to my love of all things about giant robots, I've been trying to get back into watching the Evangelion series.

I'm liking it so far, but good god I absolutely cannot stand Shinji. I keep wanting to shake him around and yell into his face to get his head out of his ass.

I understand he was written this way (the "reluctant warrior") but still. The urge to smack him in the face every time he's on screen is strong.

I’m honestly less concerned that every species on earth is evolving into crabs and more concerned that HG Wells predicted this was going to happen in the 1895 novel The Time Machine.

I hooked up two of these things to my wall outlets so i can have internet on the second floor of my house. Prior to this, I had 70 ft of cat 6e Ethernet cable running along the wall up stairs and across the room where my computer was set up. It worked, until one day the cable started dropping packets.

I looked at getting a repeater until I ran across these things online. I had heard of them but I want aware they were available for home use. According to the reviews, they worked great.

Does bisexual mean "every other sexual" or "twice per sexual", I can never remember

I have spent so much time in my life writing this exact function

if (hashTable.contains(key)) {
return hashTable[key]
} else {
let value = new Value(complicated, construction, process, here);
hashTable[key] = value;
return value;
}

It seems like the simplest pattern in the world to abstract yet somehow no language seems to offer a way to do so without in the process somehow making things Worse

I want to reinstall Windows. It's asking me questions that are making me nervous. If I choose "delete all my shit" is that just the drive Windows is be on (C:) or will it wipe all drives and I actually have to back up my files on an external hard drive?

Because Google wasn't quite terrible enough, now they're forcing me to remember days when I had to wear pants.

I would stream today but the ongoing issues with my network connection from my gaming PC forces me to hold off until tomorrow. Hopefully not only will this resolve my immediate issues but I can finally get rid of this ethernet cord I have to drape all over the place just to connect the upstairs to my cable modem. I'm crossing my fingers!

When I do start streaming again I'll be heading back to Twitch. Not sure if this will be permanent but it will be at least a temporary shelter.

I don't drive too much, but I do own a car, a 2012 Hyundai. It's getting old enough now where I have to wait to order parts when they are needed (like replacement brake pads). So now today I'm waiting for them to call me to let me know I can pick up my car at the dealership.

I have a loaner in the meantime. It's strange that all the new cars are getting Tesla-fied. Keys in ignitions are a thing of the past. A computer display on the dash. Mystery buttons that aren't well-labeled everywhere. 😅

Is the wordpress.com site editor just fundamentally broken, or is it a Firefox problem?

zalasur, 11 months ago to random

I know that weather forecasting is more of an art form than science at times, but I sort of have to believe the models are broken when they continuously forecast a 50% chance of rain three days out that consistently fails to materialize.

We were forecast to have thunderstorms all week this week, or at least a better-than-even chance of them each day this week. So far? One slight drizzle. That was it. The rest of the week doesn't look too good, either.

Inside you, there are two reply guys, one awkwardly compliments everything you do, and the other uses nonrelevant gifs.

So, sad news today. #Glimesh, my favored streaming platform over the past couple of years during the pandemic, will be shutting down July 1st. That means that my streaming activities will be moving back to #Twitch while I formalize my long-term plans for my online presence.

In the meantime, I'll be doing a few more streams playing games and talking about more serious subject matters. Today I will be resuming my #Factorio base. Come visit me here while supplies last!

Some predictions I'll probably regret making later:

• I feel like we will end up defaulting on our debt in June. I know we've been down this road before and we've always pulled a last minute deal but this feels different. The US House is under the control of an insurrectionist party and they are out for blood.

• I don't think Biden will declare the 14th or "mint the coin". Both scenarios are fantasies.

• I think the situation will last for several days at least. Longer maybe.
