More about relationship cooling, but close.

500 Days of Summer

🎶BK MEEeeEEeeEElts🎶 I’m already vegetarian, but Burger King’s stupid jingle makes me want to melt my local franchise to the ground.

Prison slavery is actually now unconstitutional in the state, as of TN’s last election.

I don’t know what you mean by “ethical”, but I use Sendgrid. They have a free tier that can send up to 100 emails a day.

Certain subtitle formats cannot be directly streamed, so your server is probably re-encoding video on the fly to burn in the subtitles. PGS format is actually a series of images and will always require re-encoding video. Picking SRT should work with device direct streaming.

Highly recommend. I moved my web hosting from my home server to a CPX11 server for better uptime (my tinkering around in the homelab was always bringing things down) and couldn’t be happier. It’s dirt cheap (cheaper than shared web hosting, even), performant (performance is better than shared web hosting) and reliable. With a 20TB bandwidth limit at the lowest tier, I can reverse proxy for most of my homelab, too.

Intimation Crab is giving you subtle claw gestures.

Or no longer innocent.

I’d watch a papillon noire.

Listen to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi while singing this song. You’re welcome.

The title just doesn’t care.

Worse than the monetary theft, he appears to have stolen the identity and likeness of Good Guy Greg.

Earl Grey, hot, nothing added.

Health insurance is a scam. American healthcare is atrocious. Stochastic terrorism is never okay. Don’t you dare claim that it is.

Has someone being awkward or a bit weird ever dissuaded you from having romantic interest in them?

"Hey, wanna go on a comic book store date with me at [store name] on [day of the week]?

The ask, the expectation of a date (and admission of romantic interest), and a specific time and place. Don’t leave the question open-ended or vague. Then she can respond in a few ways: 1. Yes. 2. I’m not free that day; is there another day that we could go? 3. No thank you.

This makes everything as clear as it can be, with little room for misunderstanding. And it’s not a dumb idea at all to have a comic book store date. If you have a hard time talking to girls, don’t talk to girls. Talk to humans who happen to be girls. They’re people, and you’re a person too, so you don’t need to overthink it.

You got this! Good luck!

Or some Douglas Adams poetry: Vogon poetry.

Strange things, motorcycles. They can cure depression, but they’re also suicidal.
