Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Well yeah--the Thunderbolt/USB-C ports are only useful to me if I can stick my current USB things in there. Which my understanding is, I can't. But like I said, four years from now, will I only be able to find USB-C stuff, and not have any of those ports?

Which my understanding is, I can't.

Six pairs of earphones in the past 15 months. Sigh.

Seven pairs of earphones in the past 17 months. Cheap Radio Shack phones this time. I just can't be bothered to take my damn iPhone out of my pocket every fucking time I sit down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did you get the Radio Shack warranty? It would be especially worth it for you, apparently.

Compassionately intolerant

I need to, for reasons, permanently block a game url from my system. Like, forever. All browsers.

google tells me to use terminal, which scares me a lot.

I've been using Self Control, but it is not permanent enough.

Any suggestions? Or positive experiences?

Coding and Sleeping

My home desktop now has 32GB of RAM. It's nice to have plenty of memory.

I can't recall if you ruled out Bluetooth headphones?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want one of the fancy new MacBook Pros, but my current one is working fine and I've declared a moratorium on "expensive shit I don't really need" until my job situation is clarified a year from now.

Our wings are not tired

I've switched over to some of the new bone conduction headphones. There are a lot of situations where I really like them now.

move out and draw fire

Is anyone on Fi? I'm thinking about getting a Pixel and switching to it.
