  • My wife’s 2019 16" MPB is running pretty great. Probably got another 5 years of life left in it. She uses it to watch YouTube and play Sims 4.

    My 2016 Acer Aspire V3-372T is hanging in there running Debian. 60 FPS YouTube videos are getting to be too much for it anymore. I may have to put the old girl to rest one of these days.

    But hey, it does play Minetest pretty flawlessly.







  • I remember this from a high school science class. There was a girl in my class who was absolutely disgusted and mortified with the idea that grasshopper parts could be in bread. Maybe I’m wrong, but I reckon there’s probably a difference between cooked prepackaged foods and fresh raw foods.

    The idea of bug parts in food doesn’t bother me much. Just a little protein. When I was a teenager during harvest, I’d climb on the trucks and stick a handful of wheat germ in my mouth when we were finished harvesting a field. I love the flavor and texture of wheat germ. Naturally, my favorite breakfast cereal is bran flakes.

    Side note: if you do this, make sure they’re golden brown, not pink. The pink ones are covered in poison.









  • I don’t know if it’s ADHD, autism, a combination of both, or something else entirely, but I have very specific routes when driving. For instance, most of my drives in town are to the grocery store. I take the same route every time without fail. If I am taking certain turns, I am going to the grocery store.

    Sometimes, my wife will need to visit the crafts store nearby. It’s a very similar route, except for one specific turn that I skip. We will get in the car, and she will have to remind me 9 times out of 10 to not take the specific turn that goes to the grocery store. Because the routine is that if I take turns A, B, and C, then turn D to the grocery is what naturally follows. It’s not because I’ve forgotten we’re going to the crafts store (though I probably have). It’s because if I’ve taken these specific turns, I must be driving to the grocery store.

    It’s almost muscle memory at this stage. She’ll see my pinky reach for the turn signal and holler DON’T. And yes, it has to be loud and abrupt because if not, odds are I won’t process it in time and we will be driving to the grocery store.
