Oh, except it breaks syntax highlighting in my IDE. That's a dealbreaker. Damn.
Holy crap, I love Windows high-contrast mode.
Wow, Newegg has a 20TB hard drive up for $250.
When I started working on computers, we never had an entire gigabyte free, much less a terabyte, much less 20 of them!
Look, AI/ML is great at a lot of stuff.
But this. Is not. One of them.
Revolution might not be televised, but apparently genocide will be mathwashed. From the team behind "we kill people based on metadata", a new excit...
A pharmacy just texted me a link to a webpage that is only designed for desktop.
People really don't think these things through, do they?
You can always tell when someone takes #GunSafety seriously. Sometimes they even break character because handling guns safely is so important that it becomes an automatic reflex.
Note: Drew Carey delivered his line seamlessly while performing this maneuver, but then again, he is a former Marine.
Ah, so apparently the Federalist is writing guides on how to be the racist uncle at Thanksgiving now.

When I was young, in the immediate aftermath of WWII, I was brought up to believe that we had defeated Fascism. Now I am old, I realise that those battles have to be fought over and over again. Never in my lifetime have I felt so despondent about the future.
Strongly recommending the game #HighFleet.
I usually hate anything resembling a "bullet hell" game and sidescrollers aren't usually my preference, but this game is so singular and unique it needs to be experienced.
The premise is that you're in charge of a small fleet of gargantuan black-smoke-belching rocket-powered mountains of machines to run a guerilla war against a far superior force.
The graphics and sound design are superb, but the game itself is a masterclass on proper scoping. Everything that's included plays a vital part in making the game what it is and there's nothing extraneous.
The game is two-layer, much like XCOM. Half of it is frenetic dogfights between these massive rocket ships and the other half is a very challenging strategy/story layer about building your resistance.
Anyway, if you're a #gamedev and you want to see an example of an indie game done right, don't sleep on this one.
I don't care how "clean" you think it makes your app look, add fucking borders to your windows.
Wow, so StackOverflow took the questions that are their entire purpose off their homepage?
Seems foolish.
Was roughhousing with my dog this morning and after a brief accident, I now look like a video game character who just defeated a wyvern.

My husband and I don’t fight very often, but one thing we do fight about is how he calls aluminum foil "tin foil" and he's like "IT'S THE SAME THING!" and I’m like "bruh, they are completely different metals, so please go consult the periodic table I've hung over our bed."
Why does every news organization insist on reporting things like this that aren't news?
Maybe that's why they're bleeding money.
Wow, that new Musk lawsuit is absurdly frivolous and thin-skinned. At several points, it even gives up the game by admitting that what Media Matters reported was true by trying to hedge it with "extremely rare".
Looking forward to actual lawyers tearing it apart in the coming days.
I wonder what percentage of White Castle's business in 2023 is still driven by stoners watching Harold and Kumar...
Why is every single business in America constantly changing the menu options on their automated voice system?
Do any #DotNet folks know why we still can't create static indexers for classes in C#?
