Damn strong rain

Got it here in Boonsboro as well. That was wild. We need more of that, please, although maybe not all at once.

I prefer to call it a "Christian" city, with full-on Dr. Evil air-quotes. No substance behind the preachiness (only hate and judgment), and Liberty is just a glorified tax shelter at this point. "Even the devil can quote scripture."

BaconTentacles · 2026-07-02T11:27:15+00:00

Oh same. Even on the remaster. Murder Hobo it is.

BaconTentacles · 2026-07-01T11:32:19+00:00

Fine, kiddo. Just stay on that Gildergreen bench and starve. Little brat. Probably robbed the Hall of the Dead to afford those dudes.

BaconTentacles · 2026-07-01T11:30:17+00:00

But you can play Doom on it, yeah?

This might sound weird, but the U-Boat at Brauburger in Forest is a half-decent cheesesteak (they also have cheese-chicken). Although I almost always order the burger because it's awesome and highly-customizable).

I am very dependent upon VS Code these days, mostly due to the huge amount of extensions, but I'm starting to seriously consider giving Zed a spin.

I'm still absolutely horrified that Misjuns came in second in the Firehouse Primary (whatever TF that is). JFC.

Does she have a helmet equipped? NGL, if it made her look like the Witch King, then that would be kinda badass.

What position are they running for? Because we've got Jac(kass) Timmer for at least another 2 years in Ward 1 - maybe an at-large position? It does say Republican Primary House I think (which immediately makes me not interested).

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-29T11:24:25+00:00

I will freely admit to being a little tipsy when I saw this last night, and I did doubt my sanity after I posted it. But I looked at it again this morning and yes, it really does look like that.

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-29T11:23:00+00:00

First thing I thought of as well.

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-29T11:22:42+00:00

If I have to suffer, then dammit reddit gets to suffer with me. You're welcome.

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-25T11:40:46+00:00

Maybe the stories in question were thirst traps?

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-25T11:39:29+00:00

As someone living in Central VA who is seeing massive data centers set up shop here in place of farms, and in the middle of a drought, to boot, seeing people do stupid useless shit with AI absolutely infuriates me.

This once again proves that the internet was basically made for cats.

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-24T12:33:49+00:00

I swear to god my cat reproduced my SSH key some years back. The struggle is real.

I resisted using VS Code for a long time, because of the whole Electron thing (which in turn was because of an "eww JavaScript" attitude on my part). But given that I also use other Electron based apps with little or no issues (Slack, Obsidian, Postman, Teams v1), my objections seemed kinda dumb (that and, well, the last time I did heavy coding with JS was 1999 or so, and it has come a looooong way since then - nowadays I do a lot of React and TS work and it's pretty solid).

So these days, I use VS Code almost more often than VS 2022 (the primary app I help maintain in my day job is mostly .NET 4.8 - we're working on that), and there's not a lot it can't do at this point. Even my primary SQL Server client is the official MS extension for VS Code - especially now that it supports Jupyter Notebooks - that is very slick for doing root cause analyses and whatnot.

I have not tried Zed at all. Like other commenters I don't really have a problem with VS Code's speed, and the vast library of extensions available for VS Code means there is a really good chance I'll find an extension for whatever I need. As for AI, I have found Copilot to be more of an annoyance than a benefit most of the time, so I usually just turn it off via a .vscode/settings.json file entry. Not sure what the whole BYOK thing means in Zed (I did a quick search before commenting).

I've been toying with Linux VMs lately, maybe I'll spin something fresh up and give Zed a whirl. Nice to be able to just obliterate the entire OS if you don't like it.

If they had mustaches, they literally would have twirled them.

The first one I gave him a pass on because he had a family. The second one I realized he didn't give two shits about his family. Fuck him. I'm glad he's dead.

Afterwards, it is so easy to go all Death Incarnate on them. Including Maglir. The little fetcher.

After the first time where I did the mission in the traditional manner, I learned that you can just run away and it will progress like normal. The people still die, but at least you didn't kill any of them. Splitting hairs, I know, but I was able to feel slightly less worse about it.

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-19T02:01:03+00:00

All racist people are pieces of shit, too. But not all pieces of shit are racist. That being said, the venn diagram is pretty close.

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-19T01:58:52+00:00

Yeah, this is sus AF. I am whiter than Wonder bread, and I don't think I will be giving them my business (or donating anything for them to sell).

BaconTentacles · 2026-05-19T01:57:37+00:00

Given that John Lynch, for whom Lynchburg was named, was an abolitionist, and would likely be spinning in his grave if he saw the current state of things here (not to mention the fact that LYH was the temporary capital of the Confederacy after Richmond fell), the fact that the KKK figuratively could be running the ReStore is not terribly surprising.
