    No shiat. If I see a kid skating these days half the time they've got a go pro strapped somewhere on the board, three phones setup to triangulate the shots, and a friend chasing with a fisheye camera. Hell I chase my daughter around with my phone now and again on her roller skates as she tries...

    Oh the happiest thing, I honestly can't remember how long it's been since I set foot in an impulse buy store affixed to automated gas machines. Quitting smoking, side story, oddly helped me lose weight. I wasn't going into convenience stores at least once a week for a carton (or every day for...

    Quit smoking cigs in 2016, still using the gum but down to biting 1mg pieces in half. Wife is quitting caffeine starting today. It's been like talking to a narcoleptic who took sleeping pills and smoked a fat indica bowl. It's going to be fun tomorrow when her headaches kick in.

    Same, same, and I was 17. They gave me Valium, shit got me in trouble on the way home, didn't realize it was a truth serum. I said something like, "No wonder they quit prescribing this stuff so often in the 70's, mom. The drugs today suck, you guys had better drugs." I had some serious...

    I can only personally vouch for the G to slightly R rated NO excursions. I only got to partake in the New Orleans adult entertainments once sort-of. Unfortunately it was for a friend's bachelor party. Which for him drinking was athe ONLY party and seeing a pair of breasts other than his girl's...

    1. Get stoned and walk through cemeteries. Creepy AF but also kind of weirdly relaxing. 2. Cafe DuMonde', yeah it's a touristy place, but the coffee is a amazing and bignets are always perfect. 3. NOMA (New Orleans Museum of Art) in my travels has only been bested by Chicago, but it's a close...

    You inspirited me to be weird. I've wanted to play with these ChatGPT AI bots. Not a hit, but with some tweaking it could work.

    My daughter's reply to this wisdom... If one drops a bar of hand-soap on the floor, is the soap dirty or the floor cleaned?

    Have you seen the 'support chat' on company websites these days? Every single site has chat-bot that they script really hard to make you think it's human. Sure using genuine AI as opposed to a glorified text based phone options menu would possibly change the ethics of it, but honestly once it's...

    Another morning, another day on the phone to my bank and Apple, trying to get their clocks synchronized enough that I can pay for this new computer and get back to work. Banks really don't want to let you take your money these days. I thought putting a down payment on my wife's car in 2016 was...

    I haven't touched a Linux box of any kind since I left my position working for a state contractor in 2010. Literally 13 years of systems development I've ignored as best I could since leaving IT. Even back in the early 2000's, I didn't use the Ubuntu box at work, I just sat down at it, connected...

    After posting last night I googled 'linux for music production' and came across Ubuntu Studio, Linux AV (a Debian based distro), and Apodio (another Ubuntu base.) Thanks for the ideas Boatguy and Curious2Garden, I'll let you know how it goes when I get installed on whatever flavor of Linux I...

    Yep, we got my wife the Mini in 2020 and it's been really good to her since, we got my kid m2 iPadPro, she loves it and it's now her daily driver as well. I'm the old holdout, building my boxes and repairing them since I was 16 has made it very difficult to even think of switching to...

    The old i7-7700k overclocked hackintosh has died, at least for my professional purposes. m.2 SATA SSD died, corrupted my OS and after 16 days of downtime I'm only able to get my hackintosh back to the MacOS from 2 years ago, anything after that it crashes hard. So the 4.8 ghz overclocked i7 is...

    Meanwhile in Massachochossszis. They will be opening a new ... Strip Joint. https://www.wwlp.com/news/local-news/whately-property-owners-propose-topless-cannabis-dispensary/ I don't want to go there; or wait to get my weed behind some bozo trying to score a lap-dance. I just want to name the...

    Ah shrooms, I understand now. Have fun, I really liked micro-dosing shrooms while I was in physical therapy, honestly think it's a significant portion as to why I recovered most of the feeling on the left hand side of my body. For a party, kind of like acid, not really my thing.

    Weed I'm cool with. Molly/MDMA/X I roll with a little too well so I gotta moderate. Coke, snow, puruvian maching dust, no bueno for me, I"m the man you slow down not speed up. Opiates, oh hell no make me even more nihilistic than I started, I'm at least an optimistic nihilist. Research chems...

    Never? Oh no. At least monthly, maybe weekly,daily? Nah, probably hourly since I was 12. Then I learned that all my fantasies of a desolate utopia of me and my weed and some barely working musical instruments, would probably be constantly interrupted by the morons who proved that humanity...
