@sysop408@sfba.social huh, I didn't know that about Smashburger! I ate there rarely and don't recall the fries. Been too long. I'll have to pay attention next time I'm on mainland.
Same with Weinerschnitzel. Been so long since I've been... todo list getting longer.
@nivex@tenforward.social eh that’s unfortunate. Seems like geoDNS shouldn’t be that much of an ask. But I’ve not looked at pricing for that in a while. 🤔
I guess I’ve also been lucky since I started using. Only recently have been stuck connecting to far-away hosts.
Forgot to share a #Ross find from last week. Just incredible off-the-wall product ideas being sold… anyway, a #Santoku#Knife set from Paris Hilton. There were like 3-4 different sets with different knives. Passed.
@dancingtreefrog@mastodon.social it’s very ridiculous how bad wages are. But for your friend’s daughter: the local Jack in the Box in Honolulu (off Ward) has an ad for $60k/year for a manager job. Maybe worth a shot?
I don't understand why connecting to irc.libera.chat with #IPv6 always is a box on the other side of the earth. I'm here in #Honolulu and my connection keeps going to #London ?! #Libera#IRC
@sysop408@sfba.social this same company makes avocado oil kettle chips and they are delicious. Sold at Whole Foods. No reason to get beef tallow versions. Beef tallow goes rancid very quickly and that’s why beef jerky is always very lean cuts or completely juiced with preservatives.
I don’t know how McDonald’s did it (probably preservatives) but their fries were cooked in beef tallow through the 1980’s and they were great. Nowadays it’s vegetable oil and “beef flavor” derived from milk, wheat, and stonewalling from corporate.

When I was about 12 i saw my dentist chomping down a frosted donut before my appointment. I said, “Hey! What are you doing?”
He replied, “Kid, people eating donuts and not brushing is how I make my yacht payments.”
@etnom@mastodon.world I’m nearly half way up a 42 story building in Honolulu and hear their annoying music every once in a while. It’s totally ridiculous.

This actually happens on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac while you sleep. iCloud is nothing but file storage.
I know this as I was involved in the buildout of maps services that have to put up with the influx of background low priority API calls that go into geocoding and labeling all of these places. Apple is cheap and does not want to spend the money on any server side ML or video processing to make these.
@oliverzehentleitner@burningboard.net isn’t this the point of AGENTS.md files in repos? To pass on snippets of features to not pursue among other things like build hints, release processes, versioning, etc
Rebooting a server… waiting for it to come back up (this mastodon install). Doesn’t come back up. The oh 💩 feeling starts. Actually my #tailscale needs reauth… deep sigh of relief. 😮💨
