I'm reading that right now and it's fantastic! I was reading a horror series that just got too bleek, a friend recommended The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet and I'm really enjoying it. I'm a slow reader so it takes me a while to get through a book but I'm definitely going to finish this one.

Not really, but sort of? So it is wise to use a mild antiseptic after you shave, even if you don't get irritated skin. Realistically if you're wallet isn't packed it can be one of the first things to go, easy.

I recently had the realization that I've just been putting up with Windows bullshit forever recently when a friend asked me for help with their work PC. They're a Mac user, but they just started working from home and have been provided a Windows laptop. They sent me a bunch of rushed texts when their headset stopped working. They changed the default audio device after they launched the program. Which never works on a Windows PC. I never have that problem because I have just learned to live with it, I don't even think about it anymore.

Now I'm really starting to notice all the little things I put up with from Windows on my machine. To be fair my Linux machine is just as janky but at least I can say I made it that way. I keep telling myself to 'tidy' my Linux machine up but I never do, it still plays games just fine. Usually. If I didn't fuck with it.

Welcome to the truth about university. It gives you more debt than you can handle, and a job that doesn't pay enough.

What makes you think the police are more qualified than you or the people involved. Calling the cops like that will get an innocent person killed. I called the cops for dumb reasons when I was younger but now that I know better. I'll only call if I see serious violence. Otherwise I'm just calling someone else's executioner.

I was like that too until I realized that all media is compressed in some way. A digital recording is only ever as precise as the analog to digital converter that was used in the studio. Analog is only as precise as it's smallest distinguishable change. Eventually enough is enough and I was only wasting money.

¿Por que no los dos?

Actually most "responsible" jobs won't drug test because it becomes too difficult to find people who are experienced enough to take on that responsibility. If they did they wouldn't be able to staff a shift. As long as they're well enough to do their work everyone will look the other way.

On the other hand, jobs where the employee is easily replaceable will be more likely to be drug tested. There are people literally begging for the chance at a paycheck. It's not really about safety or morals and more about employers maintaining authority over employees.

I have a sinking feeling it won't be a safe voyage. Dollars to donuts the IDF sinks it and claims that it was actually a weapons shipment headed to Hamas and not humanitarian aid for Palestinians.

Murica!

We are horrified by our ancestors actions because we're different than them, we don't understand them. We have the benefit of hindsight and can see the results of their actions. We put ourselves into their world and view it with our standards of today, because we don't want to think we could do the same now that we know better. I can be horrified by the actions of someone in the past but also know that the further back into the pastI look the less I understand of history people.

Part of me thinks it's propaganda not bargaining power. On several occasions the IDF has dropped bombs on or shot the hostages ~~accidentaly~~ wontonly. The message Hamas is maybe trying to send is that the IDF doesn't care about saving the hostages. The IDF just want to eradicate the Palestinians. Then again I'm halfway around the world so what do I really know?
