A ton of people who are unhoused work regular jobs by day and sleep in their car by night. 25% is completely plausible to me. You act as though they’re all degenerates.

I sure did. And I was looking forward to feedback from fellow Unix / Linux nerds. What a shame.

Actually got a chuckle out of me when I saw the truck go over the overpass.

Tell your boss that the time when you aren’t at work is the time when you do “the rest of my life.” Tell them that your schedule is already very full and that what free time you do have is for downtime for resting and recuperating from the things that keep you busy. Politely but firmly let them know that you need to pursue work during work time.

Holy shit.

M3 Ultra chip with 32-core CPU, 80‑core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine, 512 RAM

Still a ton of money, but I’m salivating. M4 is only Max at this point, but now I’m dreaming about what that might become.

I wonder if this will be the game plan going forward, with the Ultra chip lagging by a year. Seems a likely cadence.

I have a ~/.dotfiles/functions/ directory full of bash functions that do all sorts of handy things. I also have an alias to re-source my shell set to src to make changes to everything speedy, which the author should do something similar. Here’s the contents, from which you can suss some of what they do:

cd        die       funcinfo  kbase     mkcd      prinfo    rule      spinner
cdd       duc       gcl       lkp       myip      psh       rulem     szh
cdf       durh      getip     lsp       oscheck   rederr    server    szup
console   fk        hgr       lspx      pfetch    rmhost    shc       usage
count     fp        int       mcat      phed.sh   rotl      shebang   version
date      fpr       j2        menu      phpserver rotr      shgrep    xcpx

shebang, for example, creates a new file with a header (#!/usr/bin/env bash) and then two carriage-returns in vim so I can start a new script from the cli.

All of these are something I thought would be useful at the time I created them, even if I only rely on a small number daily. Some of them are relied upon when scripting and never used at the cli independently. I started doing this when reading Pro Bash Programming, by Chris F. A. Johnson.

That’s a valid and useful thought.

Avoid news. Turn off internet. Literally, stop looking for like two weeks. The difference is palatable. I’ve used this technique a handful of times over the years.

Guess I’ll be fucked later in life.

I believe you need to gas the place three times to fully eradicate them.

Then-Sheriff Lee Baca defended OIR’s right to do its work, but he also elevated a second-in-command, Paul Tanaka, who belonged to one of the deputy gangs that wreaked havoc in the county jails. After an informant scandal erupted that would eventually send both men to federal prison, Jim McDonnell was elected as sheriff in 2014. As former chief of the Long Beach Police Department, McDonnell was a relative outsider to LASD. But he campaigned on a promise to clean house, and entered with a mandate for reform. (McDonnell, who is now the chief of LAPD, elected not to respond to a request for comment.)

I recommend the following site on the matter of sheriffs with too much power and not enough checks and balances:

And the podcast series A Tradition of Violence re: sheriff gangs.

I wonder what the numbers are after that awful meeting. We are a terrible people.

If I had visual artistic talent, I could. But I don’t so won’t try.

I cut ties with my mother for voting for the orange-bad again. I still love her, but I have friends who are directly targeted by that shitbag and she knows it. Do whatever you think necessary. I’m sorry that you’ve maybe lost a friend.

My partner is experiencing mobility issues. Not terrible, but not great, given that we originally bonded over shared hikes. It took a lot of years and many failed relationships and many strike-outs to get here, but we’re very happy. So, just don’t give up. Good luck!

Edit: strikethrough on “just” because it minimizes the experience and it’s actually quite challenging.

A particle on an object.

I worked with a guy who was taking roids to bulk up. He once ate three sandwiches on his lunch break. I am not suggesting that you do the same. It’s just the only thing I have as a point of reference.

Search for sites about muscle building, probably.

There’s no way that I burn the same amount of energy sitting on my ass as I would running a marathon. Maybe I misunderstood, but I think this is obviously wrong.

We are so lost.
