It’s zero days till Christmas, because it’s still Christmas for 10 more days.

Now I want to go play Cultist Simulator or Book of Hours. This list is also a list of the sorts of cards the games use to represent the narrative/puzzle you’re playing through. Highly recommend.

Yeah, it’s weird but hear me out. What they’re referring to is a latte macchiato, which is the opposite of the traditional espresso machiatto you’re familiar with. The word macchiato translates as “marked”. So an espresso machiatto is an espresso that is marked (with milk), and a latte macchiato is milk with only a marking of espresso. Confusing if you’ve only heard of one of them, but it does make sense. A lot of Americans are only familiar with the latte macchiato, and major chain shops like Starbucks don’t even know what an espresso macchiato is.

Strong possibility now that the quiz simply sits half finished in another tab for a month or two.

I wish Windows handled this more gracefully. I ran into one where the secondary monitor woke up first and it would cram all open windows and desktop items onto one screen every time it woke from sleep. Frustrated the user. Fix ended up being to swap the display port plugs. Hasn’t been an issue since.

Yeah, that’s true, but many people will wonder “Can I still be able to access the Microsoft from a Linux?”

Let’s not get crazy here. These folks would need to know that if they go to a new OS, will is still run “the Microsoft” or “the Google”?

When asked to choose between convenience and security, a lot of people will choose convenience. Staying on the computer you already have as long as it seems to work fine is very convenient. I still occasionally see computers running Windows 7 for no reason other than that the owner can’t be bothered to make a change.

The big worry is that most computers running Win10 don’t meet the requirements to run 11. If they drop support for 10, then a huge number of computers that are functioning just fine suddenly start becoming increasingly less safe to use and the only fix is to throw them away.

It’s only ever “the website formerly know as Twitter” to me.

I used a similar setup once in the Appalachians. The back wall was fortunately still standing. I had been backpacking for 3 days and hadn’t gone once, so I was backed up, but all that activity kept it loose. The view was absolutely beautiful. The open walls let in a fresh breeze, so no outhouse smell at all. Once I forced myself to get over the awkwardness of the exposure and just go, it all came together. Best Shit Of My Life. 20 odd years later that dump still ranks among the most sublime moments I have ever experienced.
