He looks really sad to be facing the consequences of his actions.

One of the engraved signs I plan to hang in my kitchen reads, “Judge not what isn’t on thy lips.”

The idea that personal taste in food can be wrong should stand next to homophobia in the pantheon of disgusting ideals.

5 years ago, I’d be out every night systematically removing flock cameras. I have the skills, the tools, and the experience avoiding getting caught. Instead I told myself these things weren’t going to happen and these skills will ever bring me joy. So I cleaned up, got married, finally went to college. I have a career I’m dedicated to and it isn’t even dubiously legal.

I see why we aren’t out burning things in the streets now. I can’t drive 5 over without worrying that a traffic stop will land my wife in alligator Auschwitz for being the wrong color. I can finally afford to buy food for my kid and it’s subject to the whim of people who want my kind dead. I don’t care about everyone else enough to risk what little I actually have.

I pack my spouse’s lunch every morning. One of our prepped meals, a small dish of almonds, 2 cookies, 2 peanut mini butter cups, a nalgene of lemon water, and a spork.

As for lunch bag, she has a collection of different dino or space themed bags that we cycle through depending on her mood.

How large of a diameter are we taking? I have two 4in fans I was planing on making part of the desk and then the two 3in that are part of the tower that I plan to connect to the drawer.

I do have everything set up to properly insulate the components and someone else pointed out that mounting the PSU directly to the drawer will also ground it. So I got that going for me.

Will do!

Shit, that would be really cool. I’ll have to somewhat I need to do a Watercooling setup.

I used to build industrial scale agricultural sprayers for a living and we had this setup for hot swapping sprayer assemblies, it’d be so cool to build that into the drawer so that pulling the drawer out disconnects the water circulation for easy cleaning.

I’m not all that tall, so there’s plenty of space for me.

Spouse is disabled we don’t fit under each other’s comfortably but that’s a different matter entirely.

You know, I like these. I didn’t a first but they grew on me

My spouse and I both have mid century 5 drawer tanker desks. I’m sitting at it to type this.

Attached to my monitor stand is the modified remains of an 80’s gravity lamp. The base broke but the springs are good and it makes a great spotlight.

Our server and tv are built into the remains of an early 80’s Zenith console TV. The screen was dead so we cut out space behind the decorative front pannel for a 32in flat screen and cut down the tower to work as scaffolding for the computer parts. Tossed a sound bar in and now it booms like a theater. You don’t even notice the 2in of screen that’s losts on the ends.

Our stove is a Montgomery Ward from the late 70s. It’s an absolute marvel to use. The clock is broken so I’m planning to dismantle that area to put controls for a vent fan I want to install in the attached shelf.

Our fridge is modern but the second I find myself a '64 GE Americana I’m gutting it to modetnize that masterpiece. Unless I find the tools for metal fab first…

My Samsung microwave is from the mid 70’s. It doesn’t have a turn table but it heats food better than any modern box and has a fraction of the radio leak that my Walmart one had.

Pumpkin does very much have it’s own flavor but they don’t tend to add it to pumpkin spice products.

It is amazing in oats though, if you’re cooking on the stove, put the dry oats and about 2tbsp of pumkin puree from a can into the pot. Mix it up and toast it a little before adding your spices, then when it’s fragrant, add the liquids and boil. It’s a little more work but it’s game changing for rustic breakfast meals.

I like the way this feels in my mouth. Like, it feels like a real word and it feels like a word that is satisfying to say.

I put my pc together back in 2019 with the plan to upgrade individual parts over the next 5 years. Time rolls around to get a graphics card and they skyrocket. Time rolls around to extend the ram and they skyrocket. I’m so fucking pissed that this extremely reasonable and well thought out plan that I managed to make, one of very few that I managed to make before getting medicated, has been upended by forces that are both far beyond my control and also stupid.

They were recently sold to some middle eastern investment fund that plans to use it for data scraping. Would not be hard for them to make it public…

I grew up with a pet alligator, she got to around 5ft. Spent a good portion of her life sleeping under my bed and she’d walk herself to the tub when she wanted a swim. They’re cute as the dickens and she actually had an amazing temperment.

More than one teacher in high school told me I should appreciate my time there because I’ll spend the rest of my life missing my time there. I told them if this is what I’ll be pining for in the future then I don’t see any reason to last that long.

Now in my 30s, I check every day against what my life was at that time. My life has only ever gotten better. Even on the verge of a fascist hell

Did they move to ai or am I missing something?
