There was this girl I dated last year for like a month. We had sex once and then a few days of text later she said she had gotten serious with someone else. ... I left a 128GB usb stick at her house and forgot it plugged in to her TV. Finally replaced it today ... these things are stupid cheap now.

So, apparently there's a collectors market for "Star Notes," or US notes that were replacements for bad prints and have a star in their serial number.

Still .. if you pay $120 for a $100 bill on eBay .. you are an idiot.

Haircut day 💈

New Zealand had its first mass shooting ... they grow up so fast.

I face problems with Vultr block storage taking down my mastodon instance at least once a month now. I gotta start looking at migrating to Scaleway.

Whenever I start a new job, I think of that line from The Wire where the kid is about to go to prison: "Remember, you only do two days. The day you go in and the day you come out."

Every time I try out uMatrix, on either Firefox or a Chromium based browser (like Vivaldi), my browser slows to a craaaaaawl.

I can't seem to find any active issues, but are there known speed problems with uMatrix, or are there just some runaway scripts here and there that spin to 100% because another script they need isn't loaded? I don't see anything glaring in about:performance.

This work agreement has an arbitration clause in it. I don't think I've ever signed one of these before. I don't really want to either. I wish giving up your right to court was illegal.

huh .. backups weren't running .. or log rotations. I need to finish writing my alert system.

I finished up too indie titles within a week: Wandersong and Steamworld Dig.

Wandersong has an amazing story. Gameplay is fun; puzzles are okay; characters will make you feel. It is a little long..some of the dialog just goes on for a bit.

Steamworld I started played years ago and then my laptop was stolen. Finally played it from the beginning. It's a nice short indie title. Really basic mechanics. Cute graphics. Medium challenge and good fun.

I'd recommend both, with Wandersong first.

Favorite Superhero movies:

1. Logan (2017)
2. Deadpool (2016)

4. Avengers Infinity War (2018)

Favorite Video Games:

1. Red Dead Redemption II
2. Hotline Miami II
3. Final Fantasy VII

(My score of 6.7 is out of 10). I would wait for a streaming/bluray release .. and pirate it .. or a cam. Not worth the theater price.

Captain Marvel (no spoilers): saw it yesterday and .. eh..boring. There's not a lot of character development; flashbacks to a quick montage of where character development should be. I was falling asleep by the end. The humor was shitty marvel humor. People in the theater were laughing at the 90s. I was thinking, "Please stop laughing; It's pandering.." Lot of "Life was hard for women pilots" sprinkled in. Larson is a fine actress, but her character is badly written. Very Green Lantern. Score:6.6

CONSUME!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I had the shittiest interview: I wasn't on the visitor list when I arrived. I called the HR person's two numbers and the girl at the desk called all the numbers she had and no one picked up. I started 45 minutes late because the laptop wasn't even ready. I had a two hour session to try to write the game of Chess and I was let go 3 hours early because I had trouble write an O(n^2) algorithm for finding all the triples that added up to a given sum.

Today's interview schedule includes a two fucking hour long programming challenge from 9am to 11am. I already don't want to work here. Thursday's interview starts at a more reasonable 10am.

Does Stallman own/drive a car? Because unless it's from the 70s, there's proprietary software in that ECU.
