Just a heads-up, there are activity reports that can be run that will readily show this.

I’m Asian and live in rural Oregon.

I’ve found it on Amazon periodically, but to avoid that, they show up at a local Asian supermarket sometimes.

They’re hot as fuck to me though (I’m kinda a spicy wuss though), like, painful to finish…but tasty. My friend can eat them and barely break a sweat or get flush. YMMV.

I’m a below average height male and on periodic occasion I don’t trigger the motion sensing ones and it’s awkward. Now I typically always just raise my arm and wave instinctively. Not quite jedi gestures, but eh.

This hurts.

I was reluctant to jump on the Kagi bandwagon, but I’m now a week in and genuinely enjoying it.

Before, I’d have to search things across Google/Bing/AskJeeves a few times to finally arrive at an answer - I’ve yet to leave Kagi this last week.

The different AI engines you can also use and the customization for styling are pretty darn good, too. I’m now using it as my dedicated search on all my android phones, my laptop, and my desktop. Time will tell if things hold up, but so far so good.

Only con so far is that it’s sometimes slow to provide results. It isn’t devastating, but it’s like a 5 second delay which “feels” slow, but it’s whatever.

In my defense, at least in 2023, I’ve spent more money on donations, paying other people’s medical premiums, holiday and birthday gifts for others, and vet bills than anything directly for myself 🫣

I’m nowhere near Bill Gates money and never will be.

I think amongst my circle of family and friends, I probably net 3-4x more than the highest earner I know. For the most part, I can buy myself whatever gadgets or books or food or things I typically want.

But…I don’t, well, I don’t always.

In fact, oftentimes I find myself putting off buying Book A or B because I just don’t feel like it’s a good use of money right now.

Sometimes I won’t even buy myself new socks until all of mine have been worn down to absolute tatters. I own two pairs of jeans and one pair of shoes and they’re going to go until they completely fall apart.

Other times, I want this new game and I don’t buy it because I can’t really justify it for how much time I might end up having for it.

But if anyone I know gets me any of the above or similar, I’d honestly be super happy. It removes that mental battle for me and I get something I actually want / need.

Do you add it upon eating or during the boil?

I’ve yet to master proper green onion quantity, any tips?

Also do you use a mix of the harder white part and the green?

When GM killed the Bolt, I tried to buy one at two different dealerships near me. One wanted a $10k premium over MSRP and the other wanted $8k.

They also both had a non-negotiable “security” etching added and wheel protection whatever that I had to pay for.

It isn’t that I didn’t want one, it’s that your dealerships fucked it up.

Honestly, may have settled for MSRP, but they wouldn’t budge. Fuck off.

I have no movies, photos, or video games. I do have a lot of work-related things like cloned repos and stuff like Visual Studio and SQL Server.

You want hoarder…my friend has over 120 TB in rack mount storage in his garage across multiple systems and NAS devices. It’s insane.

If it weren’t for the spiders, maybe I’d consider moving there 🫣

HAHAHA.

Is superannuation like a pension?

I’m loving my Galaxy Tab 9 Ultra. It’s sturdy, can go in the shower (I don’t normally but I wanted to test it), has great multi-window features, has Dex which is also sometimes useful, is snappy, and I can basically sideload whatever I want.

Wait, how? I have zero games installed on my 1TB laptop and still only have like 300GB free.

For me it’s…

• Visual Studio Enterprise (VS Code with a hundred plugins still doesn’t come close)
• SQL Server Management Studio (though with extensions, Azure Data Studio has gotten me pretty damn close)
• Full-featured Office 365 software (Edge web versions are somewhat sufficient, but not quite there)
• Teams with multi-tenant. The desktop Windows app lets me quickly switch between the 6 orgs I need to, unfortunately on Linux I have to have 6 different browser profiles and use the web version which just doesn’t fly.
• More responsive RDP. Unfortunately for server management I’m juggling 3-4 RDP instances daily and I’m not typically allowed to install AnyDesk or VNC or anything. I’ve tried a couple RDP alternatives and there were just all sorts of problems from keyboard issues to rendering issues to general sluggishness.
• There is one weird VPN program a job forces me to run and unfortunately it isn’t available on Linux.

But! All the above said, I run Linux and have a Windows VM. And I also run Windows and have a Linux VM - so it’s almost there for me. If work & clients all ditched Microsoft’s ecosystem, it’d be a lot easier for me to but, unfortunately, they pay my bills.

Absolutely the case for me, I had like 5-6 alts, now I use maybe two.

You win my favorite internet comment of the day.

My personal cuticles need more seasoning.
