Wonder if the boot device died. Behavior is in line with some NVMe failure modes I have encountered.

Me, earlier today, referring to Niri as a desktop instead of a “window manager,” which is also wrong as it’s a Wayland compositor.

Guns, germs, steel and… paper?

37 mentioned!

*me resisting the urge to create a 10 page long paper on helicopter engineering*

I have some wild helicopter watching stories. Best would probably be when there was a small wildfire a few miles away from my college. I was watching the flight tracker and saw them pull in a Huey and Blackhawk, and tracked down exactly where they were collecting water. Ditched class and went to watch them. They let us get like 100ft away from these ridiculous massive machines as they were taking on water. At one point, the Blackhawk pilot started playing chicken with us, trying to see if he could knock us off the hillside, LOL. Even still I will go out and watch most helicopters.

I will legitimately go esc, :w, i on Google Docs to try and save the document…

Direction navigation in vim is hjkl.

Yeah, check the oil levels every time I get gas.

Similar experience for my first time having they/them pronouns used IRL… I was mountain biking in full body armor, full face helmet, and goggles. Someone said to their kid, “let them go ahead, they’ll be really fast,” or something. I proceeded to hit 48km/h on singletrack, a speed I haven’t replicated since. So I guess I was given a speed boost by the comment?

A WRX will always love you… if you give it the love they deserve. (If you don’t your gearbox will explode and your head gaskets will disintegrate).

Of course. It’s a Subaru Impreza WRX. Heck, looks to be a bugeye if my eyes don’t deceive me. I probably did that when I got my first WRX…

What the fuck?! That application process is insane!

Nah, I saw salsa at first too.

I am in this picture… I don’t know if I like it or not, but I am in it.

Sorry to hear that. I’m in a similar boat (and have been there many times before, and will be there many times after). Heal up and feel better!

No. I injured myself doing BMX(ish) style street riding. Nothing too bad, but I will be off the bike and doing leg-only exercises for a week or two. I was also in a no riding zone, during graduation on a fairly capitalistic college campus, but hey, biking’s not a crime (and even if it was, legality != morality)!
