Pan fried this stuff was good, mixed in with a bunch of stuff in a rice cooker, just awful. Every other fake meat I’ve tried works fine for lazy rice cooker cooking, not this stuff.

Saw one waxing poetically about how good fracking is.

My favorite ads I’ve seen are ones that play videos about basic traffic laws.

“When you’re out driving, remember, it’s illegal to pass on a double yellow line! It’s the law!”

I’ll sometimes try protein shakes when I see vegan ones I don’t recognize at the store. I’ve had a few very bad ones. Most fall into that “well, it tastes decent for a protein shake I suppose.”

I’m vegan and struggling with my weight for a while, bought a Huel subscription and it is really helping. I’ll get my measured out meal, then fill up on water and tea, but the shakes by themselves are surprisingly filling.

Portion control had been my biggest struggle. It’s easier to say no to another meal shake than getting seconds of something else, and the shakes do taste good. Well, the chocolate does, the Vanilla is… not amazing.

I’m also keeping up on it more cause I don’t want the hassle of modifying the order.

The other big thing that keeps me at it is weighing myself every day and logging it in a health app.

Pong. My dad had a old Atari pong system.

Gentoo was my second linux Distro ever some time in 2003 or 2004.

Installed it by printing out the full install doc, which was like 30 or 40 pages, and starting up a stage one install. I got through the entire install by following the instructions because the documentation was that good.

I remember having a problem and hopping on an irc chat to ask for help and people there being baffled about the basic level questions I was asking while having a working Gentoo install.

I have $25 wired IEMS that sound better than my most expensive Bluetooth tws sets. I’ve taken to just listing to podcasts and YouTube videos with my Bluetooth sets at work.

I used to be a big fan of Samsung, but over the past couple years it has become a do not buy brand for me. They keep doing anticompetitive stuff with their phones so my next phone won’t be one.

Start of 2024 my Samsung TV that wasn’t that old up and died. And my less than a year old Samsung monitor is flickering.

My watch 6 classic is my favorite smart watch I’ve ever had, but in order to get it working well on a non Samsung phone you need to go through a bunch of bullshit hassle.

Living the Chumbawamba life.

A friend of mine worked in home depot, there was an old guy who worked there, loved to sexually harass younger women. They complained, multiple times, raised the issue higher in corporate. Corporate came down and declared it a “he said she said” situation even with multiple complaints, one of them being a customer. Did nothing, old guy got worse when he realized he could get away with it.

More complaints, woman who made the newest complaint got a talking to for bringing up a situation that had been settled.

I’m getting a new laptop soon, the closer I get to it the more Gnome annoys me. When I installed my current install l genuinely preferred Gnome over KDE.

I’ll miss desktop cube :(

I moved to a laptop for my main system for portability, and I’m really enjoying the reduction in my power bill from my previous threadripper 1950x build.

Lately I keep coming back to Garuda Gnome. I would prefer to use KDE, but kde seems to have issues with my setup in different ways in x11 and Wayland. Hoping things are better in KDE 6

Thanks! Just grabbed it. It is my favorite so far, probably cause I used infinity on Reddit.

I’d buy a house. Not something huge, but decently sized riverfront property.

I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It’s setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I’ve done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.

The short answer is it really isn’t profitable, and will be hard to ever be profitable simply because of how it is indeed run by donations.

Being able to spread the load over many independent instances does help to spread that load.
