The good parts of Reddit came from Aaron Swartz. Everything since then has been these guys trying to squeeze as much money out as possible (remember Reddit Coins?).

I owe much of my career to trying to set up Linux From Scratch two decades ago. While it's a much better experience installing Linux nowadays, there's a lot to be said for the experience spending your weekend debugging a system will give you.

What you think of as important may change over time, as well - with the solution as written, you'd need to decide what the "subject" is at compress time, but what if you later realise that's the last ever photo of grandma, or the AI decides that you were wearing different shoes than you actually were. Worst case, you need to rely on some detail in a photo later, like to absolve you of a crime.

I'd swap out Roosevelt for Nixon - Teddy's interventionism set us on a bad path, but at least we got national parks and antitrust laws out of it. Nixon was just pure shit show start to finish.

We once got a $250 lumber budget for building sets rejected (with the rationale that we could just reuse the sets from last year, even though that was a totally different play from a different time period, nevermind completely disassembled). Meanwhile, the cheerleading squad was issued matching tracksuits with their names embroidered, including on the duffle bag it came in. Sports sucks up huge amounts of money from school budgets, and everyone else is left to fight over the rest.

Clancy Brown does Lex Luthor for DC and Mr. Krabs from Spongebob.

Seen the video - it looks like he has a panic attack (probably because his boss is standing over him saying how dangerous it is), but they said he overdosed from touching it / potentially inhaling it and "nearly died".

Normal rekeying is pretty easy, if you're careful - push out the core (the "follower" will hold your spring pins in place), dump out the old key pins, swap to the new key, and put in the new key pins, replace the core. Even when I've completely screwed it up (pushed the follower too far so the springs came out, mixed all the key pins together so I had to work out which was which, and more) it's not been more than a 10-minute job.

"Miracle Workers" hasn't been mentioned yet, it has a similar vibe, romantic comedy, some mild philosophy, very upbeat. Each season is a different storyline with (almost) the same cast, so if the first season doesn't grab you try the next. The creator had an earlier show "Man Seeking Woman" as well, that's fun too.

Some of the super hot sauces are like eating a spicy tyre fire - very unpleasant flavour, but sold on the "burn". I don't need to prove anything anymore, I'll stick with my habenero sauce and let the youngins do the "challenges".

He's mad that female service members stationed where abortion is illegal, are able to apply for leave / reimbursement for travel to another state to get an abortion.

yy to copy, dd to cut, p to paste. Need to move 5 lines at once? No problem, move to the first line and use d5d, and p to paste it. Vim gets a bad rap for being confusing, but it's so fast to move text around once you get the hang of it.
