That sounds even easier!

So you’re saying if I don’t want to talk to my neighbor anymore I just have to identify and gift them their least favorite foods?

Just as a matter of interest, I just tried this and it simply printed ≤ on the console. I’m using Terminal and Tahoe 26.2.

I haven’t been to many musical events, but in my experience they can be pretty olfactorily offensive by themselves.

Well … Good to know. Thank you for the answer.

At the time, I worked nights in a tech call center. There were generally three guys working the shift but it wasn’t the same people every shift, it was a small but rotating cast. There was also a supervisor but they spent the majority of their time in a private office halfway across the building from us.

One of the three guys who was there most nights would mostly ignore calls and would do a pretty poor job with them when he did answer. Instead of working, he’d spend the whole night browsing HotOrNot, occasionally vocalizing his opinion on some pictures.

Since there were only three people on the shift and it was in a call center built for a hundred or more, we were permitted to sit at any desk (they had roaming profiles). Only one member of the night shift ever sat close to the guy I described more than once. Besides being personally unpleasant, he was a heavy smoker and thus olfactorily offensive as well.

The HotOrNot guy was there when I got there and I’m pretty sure there when I left. No idea how he kept his job.

Is that a modern version of Jax?

In what way does waiting fuck up your health? I’ve never done it, so it’s very possible I’m wrong, but I would think that doing so much walking would be good for one’s body.

Regarding the last line, Macklemore has a song called “Light Tunnels.” It’s basically the story of going to some big music awards show (and his opinions on the matter).

I don’t care about music awards, but I do like the song; at one point he’s describing seeing his face on a big display and thinks to himself “just look normal, don’t become a meme.”

I think that’s a pretty solid line but probably difficult advice to consistently follow in a public facing role.

Weird, right?

Sounds delicious but farty.

That’s clearly my cat.

My mom always told me that the secret to drawing trees was drawing Y’s.

I like you.

You’ve reminded me of that Vin Diesel movie xXx.

Sorry, I should have been more clear … When ssh’d into a remote Unix machine from a Mac, it doesn’t me. I don’t think I’ve tried locally.

Seems you’re right! I think I read it around the same age. Thank you for the reminder.

This is how 2012 happened.

I remember a book featuring … Al the Gebra, I think? In it all tungsten in the world disappeared. One thing in the book that surprised young me was that X-ray machines stopped functioning.

Apparently “tungsten has important niche roles in x-ray tubes.”

I’ve never heard of $! but we use Macs at work. Alt+. doesn’t work so I’ve been using $_.
