I see the point being made; however, how the fuck else might I jam several clauses into one compound megasentence - overwrought and peppered with purple prose - if not with multiple types of punctuation? Should I summarize, streamline? Clearly not: all thoughts should be expressed in full, replete with all irrelevant details. Perhaps remove unneeded, intra-sentence explanations and asides (like this one, which I’m quite fond of) of details obvious to the reader?! Never!

No AI could write with matching convolution — especially when, unlike me, it cannot do so on the toilet.

Same! I saw that characteristic lighting in the preview thumbnail and got so excited.

Trump is a horrible disease.

Cheaper manufacturing costs with the added “benefit” of making it hard to repair so users buy another one if it breaks

We can only hope!

Dammit, my fence picket didn’t even get cold!

Appreciate you linking in your blog post. I’ve been on the fence about Kagi and you bring up a lot of good points informed by sources I’m unlikely to delve into.

As someone who used to be poly, I agree 100%. Poly people can be emotional wrecking balls if they don’t put in the work to build and maintain healthy relationships. Poly drama story time!

The worst of my poly primaries believed she had infinite love to give, so she saw no reason to limit herself to one partner. While her love might have been truly infinite, her time, emotional capacity, and sense of commitment were not. She frequently overextended herself with multiple new interests and had her desire for attention and validation fulfilled far beyond reason without the capacity or apparent intent to fully reciprocate.

Her interests were typically less socially adept men who didn’t have much luck in dating, so they threw themselves at a charming, intelligent woman showing intense emotional and sexual interest, unaware or uncaring that she hid her flaws with equal intensity. (She had this thing about fucking virgins: hey, I don’t kink shame!) I saw her break a few hearts when they realized they weren’t going to “win” her for themselves, but only toward the end discovered that this wasn’t due to self-delusion as she claimed, but instead her failure to clearly communicate firm expectations and boundaries. Sometimes that they weren’t communicated at all. I also learned after the split that there were far more men than I knew about. Uggggh.

Eventually she began breaking the rules we established for our relationship and chose to leave me when I insisted we close the relationship to work on ourselves, as we promised to do when we first became committed. She opted instead to begin fucking two mutual friends, one of which immediately ghosted me while the other, a newly former virgin, soon called off our friendship so he could, in his own words, “have a clear conscience while pursuing a lasting relationship with her”. I’m sure I don’t have to explain how successful he was.

I wish! The tire shop said that the last set was damaged by excessive acceleration, so they wouldn’t honor the warranty. I can’t argue - our EV has over 600 horsepower and almost 900 lb-ft of torque, so my partner is just destroying those poor tires.

Easy! Just make this:

With this:

Yep, I have an EV and the way my partner drove it just eats through tires. We’re talking about $1.5k, 50k mile warranty tires being replaced at 20-25k because someone liked to pretend they’re a fucking astronaut on launch day.

Not bitter.

They can, but it’s far less likely than if he stayed in and was put in a position where he had to refuse orders.

That’s only top-tier dipshit pseudo-aristocrats like Trump and Hegseth. Their peons are working class plebs like the rest of us.

Seriously, I feel abused just looking at his face.

At least one of them is a quality person.

If you want an alternative, lab label tape is a bit pricy but is super durable, comes in fun colors, doesn’t leave residue, and sticks for practically forever.

For real. I know we all know he’s not really doing the work expected of his office already, but the fact he has the time and energy to care about such petty, childish things further confirms it.

Plus a vague label they can slap on anyone they don’t like. It’s pulling double dipshit duty.

Yeah, this thing is super inaccessible. Damn you, Gates!

You nailed it: I inspected the grub.cfg on the install media, which gave me the required parameters to get my hacked together install partition working. After that, it was really easy!

Unfortunately no, it’s an SSD (post updated) and it’s soldered in place. Plus this thing is the least accessible non-phone/tablet device I’ve ever seen. I’d need to use a heat gun and a few prying tools to take it apart. That’s why the USB controller remains unfixed, I’m more likely to cause more damage to it.
