Yup, its pretty straightforward. Biggest thing holding me back IMO is lack of foundational knowledge of both scripting logic and networking. I can do CLI interaction just fine but trying to write out a cohesive script I just fall flat on my face. In my last job everyone could (and did) script circles around me.

Well, i knew how to build a computer relatively early in life. I was advised to go for a specific cert (security+), got it, got hired into a service desk role just about immediately (DoD), and I just kinda went from there i guess?

If the toga was good enough for the Greeks, its good enough in an emergency. Blanket, sheets, nearest curtains, whatever.

You gonna sleep with shoes on, too?

Tiger shrimp

This gives me “hoarder den” anxiety

Entirely dependent on the field of technology. On average, like a 6 or 7? But i do regularly find myself to be a dumbass who doesn’t know shit about fuck.

If my brain worked on command that’d probably bump me up to an 8 or 9 though.

I would if anybody made wireless over-ear headphones for giant heads. I have the unfortunate luck of wet earwax and weird ear shape that cause earbuds to constantly fall out.

Turning on the power supply after building a computer. Gets me every time and i spend a few moments panicking before i figure it out.

BTW, the spiciness is only really a problem if you rinse with hot water. Use cold and you’ll be fine

Edit: also, dont use the sprayer, and lower pressure.

Source: gassed out my parents kitchen after making salsa with scorpion peppers and filled the whole damn pot with damn near boiling water. It lingered in the air for fucking DAYS. Sinuses were really damn clear though so that was nice

Isnt it like, over a decade too late for mojang to complain about a gun mod in minecraft? That ship has long since sailed

That and i hear macbook battery life is absolute black magic fuckery

I second this. I’ve had mine for years, that little tool roll has got all you really need to pry open laptops, desktops, and most electronics other than phones and tablets.

Take a nap then start working to fuck off and vanish from the rest of the world before i get found and buried in a lab somewhere.

Desktops, are like ogres. They have layers 😬

Check your laundry. And places where you might set things down when moving laundry around.

And the county may very well just say no, without providing a reason (the unspoken reason may just be that the cruelty is the point)

Id find it a bit creepy, last thing i would want in a potential partner, before we’ve even met, is absolutely anything to do with my parents.

Isn’t that what interns are for? Unscheduled QA in production?

I’ve got a Latitude XT2. some of the plastic bits aged badly and developed a sort of weird film, including the charger brick; if you’ve had the same problem, I scrubbed the hell out of those specific parts with goo-gone and a microfiber cloth and its smooth and shiny again.
