Pretty much daily working from home in southern California. My dogs and I get pretty antsy without fresh air and noises.

In my extremely expensive 1960s Los Angeles shitbox I mean apartment the gas heater and window A/C units can’t keep up because there’s no insulation and the single pane windows leak like hell.

Even if it were to be properly insulated you still wouldn’t be able to give up natural gas because the electric company can’t keep shit running. I had to buy a UPS because I got so sick of my networking gear and smart home constantly shutting down at random. Our cable company can’t keep their service running after a “storm” (when it’s windy sometimes) so I’ve even got cellular backup for multi-WAN.

I really cannot stand natural gas and I hate polluting the environment but my landlord would have to essentially tear down and rebuild the entire property for it to make sense. We’d probably need some $10k Tesla Powerwall and solar if we wanted to keep it clean because these bozos at the utilities can’t get their shit together (oh, and I forgot to mention the constant gas leaks and tearing up random streets to get to the gas pipelines all the time too).

Living in Los Angeles is like going back in time, it’s a trip. Our 1800s houses in the Midwest had fewer problems than this “wealthy” expensive part of LA. I love this city but housing and infrastructure is a joke.

I mean, animal agriculture is far worse. I’m not saying this isn’t a problem but why wouldn’t we first address that first?

That was Campbell’s soup. I so happened to have a cold recently and I actually missed having Campbell’s soup as a kid when I was sick (despite kind of despising canned foods now) but decided to buy Amy’s Kitchen soups instead when I recalled that article.

I’m glad that animal abuse style “entertainment” is dying (though little by little). This is fucking gross.

People like this make my blood boil. How can anyone be this evil?

I just had to implement a drop down where users could type their entry because they can’t figure out how to type the first few fucking letters to get to their choice. Really annoying.

Then people got pissy because their browser would sort results in the wrong order (except Safari) so then I had to deep dive into JavaScript (gross). I hate it.

Why not stop serving it indefinitely? I don’t understand why we keep locking up animals and trashing the environment for nothing but taste.

This guy just wakes up every morning and starts vomiting shit everywhere, I swear. How does he even live with himself?

Maybe this is the (unfortunate) push that drives renewables.

Yikes, I really can’t get on board with “blue collar workers are morons”-style thinking.

Just assuming he is for the sake of argument.

Exactly my take. Just stop watching that trash.

I have some DNS blocklists for blocking Google outright that take care of the problem pretty well.

Can we talk about how fucking nasty it is to store files in a bathroom? Would you want to touch those knowing Trump probably took a McDonald’s/KFC-style shit just feet away from the papers in your hands?

This is really common where I work but I don’t understand why. On macOS I’m more likely to use ls -1. Do you need to know permissions or file sizes often?

I used to do this for lighting and fans whenever my VR headset turned on.

Not too crazy but I have automations based on whether external doors are open: if it’s hot and it’s cooler outside and someone opens the door then the fan near it gets turned out. Similarly if the heater is on but someone leaves a door open longer than one minute (conservative) the heaters will shut off. And all the air fresheners shut off if the doors are ever open.

Why “Nebraska Avenue, NW” instead of “Nebraska Ave NW?” The fucking government can’t even write an address in the correct USPS notation.
