Mr. Sunshine sometimes visits. Usually, though, it's video games, ranting, a little stupid trivia.

I'm a good listener when no one's screaming.

I dabble in the #GodotEngine.

It's fun to blame Red Lobster going down because of all you can eat shrimp, but no one really emphasizes this bit:

"A private equity firm bought the chain ten years ago from Darden Restaurants.... The firm, Golden Gate Capital, funded the deal partly by selling Red Lobster's real estate.

That meant the chain had to start paying rent. That's now a major financial factor in Red Lobster's bankruptcy filing"

VC again leaving a trail of destruction behind them

@virtualbri I've heard of that tactic, of VC firms selling the real estate of some companies, and making the company pay rent for their stores. Who TF thought this strategy was a good idea?

@virtualbri I know, that's why I was being rhetorical.๐Ÿ˜„

@geerlingguy I currently have a Raspberry Pi 4 with Open Media Vault installed on it. That mostly does the job. But I can't use that many HDDs on it since it can provide so much current. I'm not trying to put a bunch of drives on it; maybe two. That, and it gets pretty hot. It's in a case fan, but the power draw is too much with the included two drives.

@the_etrain It's fine. At least the city won't give up on the citizens, nor will the city be let down.

I cringe whenever I get a notification that something I bought is going to be shipped via FedEx. That error in their name is always pointing somewhere other than my address.

@thelinuxcast It's sucks that you have to deal with FedEx. At least one of their trucks hasn't backed into your car, though.

Can I get some GOOD VIBES my way today, please?

While I can't go into details publicly quite yet, I have a MAJOR work meeting at 1:30pm today with one of the Regional Vice Presidents of our company today. It's not a bad meeting, but it's a VERY IMPORTANT meeting in my career and I'm beyond nervous to say the least.

It's scheduled to be 45 minutes long, and I feel like this could be the longest 45 minutes of my life!

The question about the tomato sauce and the veggie pizza got me thinking. Maybe there isn't tomato sauce on a veggie pizza because a tomato is a fruit?
