Don't lie to me: How many browser tabs do you have open right now? ๐Ÿค”

SiliconFarmer,
@SiliconFarmer@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft 89 browser tabs open right now.
But I made an effort earlier today to close tabs I didn't really need. So it was easily over 100.

@astrelion about 8 hours ago, after visiting a merchant but not buying anything, the rogue went from wielding two short swords, 2d6+4, 2d6, to (evidently) wielding a hand crossbow and a short sword, 2d4+4, 2d6.

SiliconFarmer,
@SiliconFarmer@mastodon.social avatar

@astrelion on reflection, perhaps the rogue is smart and pulled out his bow to get in a ranged attack in the first round.
If he is very smart and lucky, he might even find some cover and get advantage on that bow attack.
I have been trying to get a bow for this rogue, but the crowd has not seen the possible advantage.

Why are there so many outlet timers for letting you set something like a lamp to come on a 7 pm every night, but there are almost no outlet timers that let you turn something on and have it automatically turn off after, say, an hour, or 25 minutes, or 77 minutes?

Found another free bike in the trash pile across the street from my house

SiliconFarmer,
@SiliconFarmer@mastodon.social avatar

@MLE_online

My oldest road bike is on an indoor trainer (avoiding the worst of Oregon's weather)

Next oldest road bike is set up for riding in the rain.

Newest road bike is set up for high efficiency good weather riding.

Mt. Bike for off-road trails

Tandem because I can't admit I won't find a new riding partner.

5 bikes is obviously completely reasonable.

All the therapists in my area have no availability.
I have ThinkPads in the office, living room, and bedroom.
I think I need another in the kitchen.

@PCMag fake Apple products have been available in China since they started making iPhones in China.

Stackoverflow questions down 66% in 2023 compared to 2020. AI/LLM is what happened to the SO. What do you think?

SiliconFarmer,
@SiliconFarmer@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft at least 10 years ago Stackoverflow was getting unfriendly and unusable (answers burried under BS interactions). I can't imagine how bad it must be now that toxic has become normalized and acceptable online.

@nixCraft this setup is much preferable to the newer "open concept" office with no cloth walls, where you can't help but be distracted by nearby, line of sight, coworkers with their wierd personal quirks, and their nearly constant coming and going.

HP is notoriously aggressive ๐Ÿ‘‡

SiliconFarmer,
@SiliconFarmer@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft I had a relatively expensive networked HP printer several years ago. One day, without asking, it got a "firmware update", without my consent. It bricked the printer. HP support was "the one year warranty is expired. Buy a new printer."
I should have gone to small claims court.

I've done farming. It was fun at first. Then tedious, and uses up your spring and summer. Climate change started making it difficult and risky, so I sold the farm.

People tell me what they want and I build things for them. Then I get yelled at for not including things they forgot to tell me.
