  I finished restoring my tube oscilloscope and I didn't even die once! My friends at work are gonna be so jealous

  If you hard-wrap lines in an outgoing email, you should go to jail. No email client in the entire history of computing has ever not been capable of wrapping lines of text to fit the window. Two million years dungeon for making me read your email like this in twenty goddamn twenty six. We solved this problem over half a century ago.

  Gently the rat (like borgar) because the passage of time is inexorable and relentless and unforgiving

  It took eight tries to push a tag to GitHub. I've spent half my day just waiting for this godforsaken website to respond to anything

  I still have not emotionally recovered from working on that one project where the author wrote a preprocessor to translate his custom python-like dialect into compilable C++

  I really wish my brain and body would just fucking tell me when something is wrong. Instead I have to play goddamn neurotypical guessing games with myself. Like I made bacon and lost motivation to cook the rest of my breakfast which means I (casts dice) forgot my meds for (squints at clouds) two days and (rolls bones) I'm in pain and (crystal ball) I will be in a bad mood all day. Can't I just skip all that and receive a "u sad" message or something? What is th...

  Every time I remember reading all five Hitchhiker's Guide books, I somehow get retroactively more disappointed. It's not just me, right? They were awful books. I mean I think that was kind of Adams's *point* in writing them, but I still kinda wish I'd spent that time reading literally anything else. Like, the bowl of petunias is a named character and the antihero to the entire story that absolutely nobody ever acknowledges in-world or out. Arthur can fly.

  Boss called me a badass today. I got totally fixated on an interesting side quest and accidentally solved in two weeks an entire class of problems he's been mad about for years. We haven't even talked in weeks, he had no idea what I was working on until the solution showed up in his DMs unprompted.

  Let's just say it's morally correct but legally ambiguous

  Sure, sex is cool, but have you ever successfully reverse engineered a device?

  It has been a dream since I was about 14 to own a Heathkit scope. It's beautiful. Even better, it's *broken* which means there's absolutely no reason in the world that I shouldn't tear it apart immediately.

  It's interesting to think that "my browser doesn't work with this website" used to mean "my browser is out of date". Now it means "someone intentionally broke this website for my browser because it supports ad blocking"

  Today is NOT the day for my emotional support steam deck to die. I can't handle this. I'm gonna go back to bed and cry. Yes, it's 10am and I'm already tapped out.

  Ugghhhh the dog woke up at 6am and wouldn't settle down so now I guess I'm awake an hour and a half early. Can you nooot ugh

  I know exactly who needs to hear this: "your frustration is understandable" is not the same as "I'm sorry, I fucked up" Put on your big boy pants and admit that you did something catastrophically wrong to somebody you claim to respect.

  I really hope I don't need to hire a lawyer. I'm so mad. I've never been this mad.

  I think it's probably best if I go drink a large amount of alcohol and throw my phone into the river.

  After almost 15 years of loyal service, my venerable Thinkpad T530 has finally let out the magic smoke. Rest in peace, brave soldier.

  Reminder: it is always, *always* morally correct to punch a Nazi.

  Always remember that "violence is never acceptable" is a lie pushed by people with the power to do *incredible* violence against entire populations. Please, for the love of everything good in the world, open a history book and make your own moral conclusions. *Any* history, *any* era, *any* culture. You will learn something very important about the nature of the world we live in.

  Old boss emailed me at 11:30 last night to inform me that the W2 I was sent didn't include about six months of wages and taxes. Taxes are due *tomorrow*. I really thought that after everything, I couldn't be surprised by his shitty behavior anymore, but no, he still manages to disappoint. I have to call a lawyer. I'm gonna fucking scream.
