I have not been to a dentist since the start of covid and I'm scared to go but I know the longer I delay the more the odds that something bad happens go up, but I'm still too scared to go.

I only know what the double meaning is for the gnu image manipulation program and I think I'm OK with that.

People calling Minneapolis "the mini apple" is another one, for me. I find it really annoying.

I don't think tourists believe calling it hell is a cutesy nickname locals affectionately use though.

It's true that no one should join the military but the right to join the military is part of what the state considers to be the rights conferred on you for being a full citizen. When they deem you ineligible to do this core thing that's part of civic life, they're saying you're less of a valid person.

No one should join the military. But the government saying "you are officially an outgroup of undesirables" is very serious.

I think I speak for everyone, most everyone anyway, that I will be sad if you leave but if that is what you need to do for your mental health then we support you. What we want as a community is for you to be happy. I wish it weren't this way my friend.

I fucked up while making this post.

I went shopping, forgot both blueberries and dried fruits, for muffins and cookies respectively, then I only posted about some of them.

I do not promise to do better in the future. I will probably do even worse.

Dried cranberries work better in cookies, frozen or fresh are good for muffins tho

Oh Kristi Noem got a real dressing down about all the laws she's breaking by this Congress man, who will not do shit about it and keeps voting to confirm trump nominees.

They don't give a fuck about you yelling at them. They like that it makes dems mad and they know you're not even gonna do shit about it.

You can replace "blasts" with "mentions"

I would be an anti american antipope.

No, not self deprecating. Most people just aren't that good of people.

I just need to be realistic. I've tried doing it before and it never sticks. It works better and is easier to stick with if I move to it over time, because I know myself and I know that I will just slip later on and drop it altogether in the future if I don't.

No two ways about it in that I'm like most people: not that good of a person tbh.

That's just an artifact of how I made this (I just used python to stat the files and check their mtime, and not their birth time since python doesn't easily allow you to do that) and the fact that I've moved this collection from device to device a couple of times, so some timestamps are not really accurate. So a lot of files that are much older than their mtime show up as last modified on a certain day.

I think most of the files have an mtime of 2013, which is when I bought the first external hard drive this media collection lived on. It's grown over time and moved to different devices; currently it's on a NAS that has about 12 terrabytes of storage that I created in the early part of the pandemic. SInce it's SO much bigger than what I had before I ended up starting to download bigger files so the rate of increase shot up after I moved it to this NAS.

This has a few errors in it (i called it % full when it's actually not scaled to 100, for starters) but it gives me an idea of what rate it's growing at so that's something.

Still I'd like it to look nicer.

Yeah my first idea is literally just find all the file sizes and time stamps, sort by time stamp, then have a running total of the size. Then make a scatter plot with the X axis as the time and the Y axis as the total size.

Just a simple trend line, I could just do it with google sheets probably pretty easily.

I suggest targeting critical supply chain choke points.

A whole game that's an escort mission would probably not be much fun tbh. Everyone hates missions specifically in shooter games where you have to protect someone because there's usually not good ways to block them from damage, so if she was constantly in danger of dying and you couldn't control where she went it'd be a real slog I think.

It could be fun if done well I just can't think how to do it well

I remember thinking it was fun to play, and a more interesting and dynamic experience than bioshock 1 was, and I liked the story more or less but the politics are just dogshit.

I haven't played it since it came out though and it was never that remarkable to me that I had strong opinions beyond "this is fun and the dewit backstory is interesting but it's trying to both-sides the union wars and manifest destiny??"

this is me right now regarding their various policies

nope pretty good apple i gotta say

It's done. I ate the apple.

I've already started eating it
