Fun fact, textfiles is Jason Scott’s site. He’s the head archivist at internet archive. Always doing cool stuff if youre bored and have some time to blow this morning.

It has to match their Punisher sticker duh

I’ve been a fan of Continue? for over a decade. Just a weekly let’s play series that’s kept the spirit of the early 2010 gaming YouTube alive.

Funny part is the tax lady who refused to do their taxes was a confirmation sponsor of one of his grandkids.

There’s a legitimate pizza place around me that’s been around for ~50 years. My mom went to school with the owners children and when she was in high school their dad had a small stint in jail for tax evasion and unregistered and hot guns. Apparently he was importing a lot of guns from Italy and one day a shipment got caught. About 10 years ago, my mom became friends with someone who was hired to do their taxes. She didn’t give any details, but she told us the numbers really didn’t add up and she had to drop them as a client their first year due to ethical reasons.

The thing is the pizza is really good and kind of an institution in my town. I wouldn’t say it is strictly a front, but money does move through it. The family also owns a lot of small strip malls in the tri county area and some historical properties as well.

Oh and one of the sons married one of their 2nd/3rd cousins from Italy in the 90s. The rumor was it was just to help her get citizenship but they are still married to this day and it’s kinda weird.

Snagged an 840 G6 for a little more than 100 and it’s working fine. Had the company send me a new touchpad and there hasn’t been an issue since

I am lucky my MicroCenter is in the worst parking lot in the city. It’s a local meme how awful this parking lot. I’ve probably saved a few thousand by refusing to drive that lot.

What sites have issues with Firefox? I’ve been using firefox exclusively since 06 besides trying chrome for 2009-2010 and never had any issues. Not saying they don’t exist but it seems like a very small amount that won’t function at all.

Sucks because you had to drink a verification can after saying it.

Was just singing Crabs by weebl at work today. Hope they’re doing fine.

Count his fingers, not AI ;P

I’m starting to want to learn chess after learning about the password game. I need to go get further!

Pizza Scissors. Great for frozen pizzas so you can cut it up right out of the oven without waiting for the cheese to cool off. It’s also great for cutting dough and just having a 2nd pair of kitchen shears if your normal pair was used to cut raw meat.

Some of us never had a flashlight.

I’m at about 50/50. I realized I would just scroll a lot through junk and got some time back by not doing that. I set up an RSS feed for a few news websites that has replaced reddit for current events and tech news I care about.

However I haven’t found a good replacement for hobby boards or video games I’m currently playing. I’m on a few game discords but I hate the chat format. I would rather have threads I could read about specifics topics instead of catching up on 100 post an hour with no order. For hobbies, I found that the fediverse has me covered on the selfhosted front, but things like comic books and vinyl really hasn’t taken off that much here.
