i gave up on gentoo when the updates started making my laptop so hot that i had to point my bedroom fan at it in college. i was thinking of doing LFS but by that point gentoo was turning into such a headache and i wanted something simpler. i switched to arch afterwards, but now i mainly just use macos and let tim handle all that stuff for me. although i’m tempted to try arch again when im done with grad school and have more time

mine as well. it was awful

i think the gentoo pacman looking guy is cool

computer science exams must have been so easy for you

i chose my first linux distro based on difficulty (gentoo). needless to say it took me two weeks to get my computer to boot up and load i3 without problems.

we’ll be done with it exactly when the next fad picks up steam

i’ve mostly given up on expecting/trying to make coffee taste good. at this point i just eat the roasted beans and carry on with my day. it’s also more efficient since you lose a fair amount of caffeine through the brewing process. at this point i only have like 8-15 beans a day.

i still go to a cafe from time to time if i want a nice cappuccino or something, but i don’t bother with any of it at home.

edit: i should mention that roasted coffee beans can taste pretty good if they’re been roasted properly (and even better if eaten within a week of roasting). and you can get a pretty decent bean roaster for like 200$, and then after that a 3 lb. bag of unroasted beans costs like 30$. the 200$ upfront charge is pretty expensive, but it ends up paying for itself pretty quickly since you save an insane amount of money from buying unroasted coffee beans. when eating the roasted beans, a 3 lb. bag can last about 6 months to a year. so thats about 30$ to 60$ a year spent on coffee. even when i was brewing coffee, i found that the roaster paid for itself in about 6 months. not to mention that it’s not that hard to learn how to roast coffee beans, and everything tastes much better when using freshly roasted beans.

what a beautiful language

you need to make your hands sticky for it to work

it’s floor 5 from monday to wednesday, and floor 2 from thursday to sunday

god i hope so

i wonder why people haven’t made a language that starts indexing at 2 yet. maybe some day

i wish the people making buildings around here knew that. some start at floor 3, others at 5. some start at 0. others at 2. every building has its own story. you need to understand the building before you can understand your position in it.

do you also have minced tables there?

i would try it. i like strawberries and i like pasta, so why not

he’s in a better place now

another chicken and egg problem

gone but not forgotten….

is this where ketchup comes from?

these are not arguments. they are beliefs/opinions
