Ah, I thought you were being racist against people who might sing a song in a non-English language.

Nah, it’s just wicked repetitive and I hate it. I had a cubicle neighbor that played the radio and it felt like that frigging song played in a loop, alongside the “kars 4 kids” jingle.

Feliz Navidad.

I’m out of the loop. Could someone please explain like I’m a 5 year old that knows just enough Linux to be dangerous?

I was just as alert after the first 3 alerts as after the 8th. The additional alerts didn’t tell me anything new, they just gave me alarm fatigue.

And yes, it was bad. Roads were flooded. Buildings were flooded. People were evacuated. People died.

I finally went in and did this a couple weeks ago. We were under flash flood advisory and every time the end timestamp was updated, we got another “severe” alert. I didn’t need 8 very loud alerts going off over the course of a quiet evening at home.

Walk someone else through editing a config file on the command-line over screenshare? Nano. Omg nano is your friend.

The problem with using nano for years is that I now try using nano shortcuts in other programs. Random new windows opening is confusing, until you figure out Ctrl+o isn’t save in that program. Then it’s just annoying because you still have your inappropriate muscle memory.

About 18x8 inches. Not to worry, I have a classroom-sized whiteboard as a backup.

If she has trouble remembering if she’s taken the meds, I highly recommend TimerCaps. They are a pill bottle lid that tells you how long it’s been since the bottle was opened.

We have several at my house-- I can check and see if my partner has drugged the dog or if I’ve taken my ADHD meds. My partner can also see if I’ve taken my meds.

I have a whiteboard on my desk. It’s the only effective “to do” list I’ve found, for me. It’s covered in chicken scratching. I erase stuff as I do them.

For some reason, Train to Busan is what springs to my mind.

I’m too pale AF to have a loving relationship with the sun. I’ve been burned too many times. I always use protection, but last weekend the sunscreen failed me :(

My dad used to disable the motherboard speaker because the noises games made back then were more annoying than fun. We eventually got a soundcard, and that was awesome.

MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.

Makes sense. I’m a librarian and we still use cards from the old card catalog for notes.

Yep. That’s why I’m here again. My reddit app may work for now, but the writing is on the wall in bigger, bolder letters.

Why don’t you ask the trans people you know? They’re more likely to know their reasons that we are. We’re just random people in the Internet. They’re the ones whose style causes you questions.

This last election, I googled the candidates and voted for the ones that hadn’t tried to ban books at the local library.

Ohio is a perfectly nice place filled with perfectly nice people. Exceptionally, creepily, contagiously nice.
