  • Redundant acronym syndrome bothers me too. It irks me that the wikipedia page for it is "RAS Syndrome" which in itself is echoing the issue it's describing. That shit has to be intentional.

    It's like how hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words. That's some fucked up shit. Even it's more official word "sesquipedalophobia" is still a bit long for anyone who experiences that fear.

  • It's probably too late to change, lol

  • The #1 Programmer Excuse for Legitimately Slacking Off (2026 Edition)

  • Cleaned up the template a little and also removed the job role specifying "programmer" to make it even more of a flexible template:

  • Typewriters - mostly just buying/using them, haven't delved too much into the actual restoration/cleaning part just yet:

    • There's a Discord that has a lot of information and a nice, welcoming community.
    • Typewriter Database is a very handy tool to help you identify your typewriter model and year based on the serial number.
    • The case can get messed up depending what you clean with, so do your research well so that you don't accidentally strip the paint.
    • Estate/garage sales are great for finding typewriters.
    • When buying a typewriter, bring a piece of paper with you and test it out: type with every key, use the shift and caps lock, try the red and black inks, backspace, tab, set a few tabs and then tab through each one, reach the end of the line and see if the bell rings, etc. Don't let social anxiety get in the way of you testing a product before buying, especially if it's costing a pretty penny.
    • Speaking of price, I'm not sure how it is everywhere, but where I am you can get a good typewriter for under $100, even under $50, fairly consistently. I just went on OfferUp and I was able to find a few at around $50 that I would purchase myself tonight if I wasn't already strapped for cash.
    • The few typewriters I would spend over $100 on if I had the money (all in working condition, even better if it has a case): Royal Model 10 with the glass side, Olivetti Lettera 33, and the Hermes Baby.

  • What a great idea

  • US here - I haven't seen one used at a grocery store in over 20 years. Only people I've ever seen use them are old people, or people using them to pay bills.

  • Nah, we won't.

  • Yeah, "gonna" needs to be followed by a verb for it to sound right, I think, with the exception of it being used as a response affirming they'll be doing an action."You gonna go to the store?""I'm gonna, just gettin my shoes on first."

  • It's dinner time, and you have to put together a meal with only ingredients already in your house, no going out for anything. What are you making?

  • Do frozen meals count? If so, pizza. If not, I guess burritos with rice, beans, cheese, grilled onion, avocado, and lemon.

  • Mine wasn't a smart fridge, but yeah I agree.

  • Solid advice.

    Jump

  • We had a $2k fridge that broke within a few years of owning it. We got it fairly discounted due to a dent in the side.

    Our $150 fridge from Sears is still in the garage, and still runs perfectly after owning it for 13 years. Looks pretty much like the one in the pic.
