in 2024 there were a total of 924 train-related fatalities (not just passengers, everything involving trains), all but 112 of those were due to trespassing in 2024 there were a total of 39,254 vehicle-related fatalities how is that "genuinely safer"?
my cousin is in the RV convoy and sent me this photo over SSTV as they unloaded the alien that Captain Hiller captured!!
some i think i did not see already! Independence Day (1996) www.imdb.com/title/tt0116...
time is always against us! that is a pretty cool workflow so i have been working on a couple of ideas, this is a simplification of my fallback strategy if the really out there idea doesn't work
there is only one game on my list with over 5k reviews on Steam and that was intentional so i left off a lot of my favorite games in favor of the smaller games that need the eyeballs (plus a classic that i think is pure art)
spent a bunch of time today going through and categorizing my programming language collection ~200 programming languages documented (including stubs) ~100 notes about programming languages: criticism, tips, and implementation details (and linkdumps)
specifying the NerdFont variant fixes it for my terminal but now i get to figure out how to change the font fallback priority for the rest of my system by the way, the command `fc-list` allows you to find fonts which contain a particular glyph, like `fc-list ':charset=F420'`
so i found the culprit i was thinking that they looked like Georgian symbols but there are already multiple Georgian Unicode blocks so why would there be stray Georgian symbols in the PUA? i have no idea why, but they were added to the DejaVu fonts in v2.34
okay i figured it out the character U+F420 is used in my neovim config to indicate a new file, but it is supposed to look like a question mark in a circle
i was gonna stop posting and get some work done but i flipped over to my terminal and found a tmux tab open to a vim with an unsaved file named "" which is an obscure unicode character that may or may not be visible to you what the fuck was i doing and how
i assume everyone who sees me on their timeline has seen Southland Tales already but if not, you are really missing out on one of the films of all time
for ages my brain was convinced that these two agents were the same white guy for some reason no idea who the actor on the left actually is though
re-watched Southland Tales Cannes Cut with my roommate yesterday realized it had been several months since the last time i saw it while the difference in runtime is small the different in content is huge this cut is more focused on the people while the theatrical cut is dedicated to worldbuilding
there was a meme like this a while back that was like "if you cannot make your own torches and pitchforks then store bought is fine" anyway i think about it a lot when people try to convince someone that they should not complain about capitalism because they have a phone or whatever
keep seeing this product pop up and trying to make sense of it finally realize that they meant "sandwich" but now i have the weirdest craving for like a bowl of dry sugary peanut butter and i am dead serious
me: "why is that person's comment hidden? is it bsky being shitty again?" *unhides* comment: "gen AI is good actually" bsky: account muted because they are on the big public slop user list oh, you right, you right, my bad
