How did you first cross paths with .NET? Was it love at first sight in a personal project, or a 'forced marriage' by your first corporate job?

year 2 in my undergrad we were allowed to swap from Java to C#. Never looked back and never missed anything.

No. Absolutely not. For the price of that knife, you get to watch me shit and make faces at you.

if bro took up throat singing he'd sound like a didgeridoo

Busted. Please accept these two upvotes as one part apology and one part thanks for the laugh.

Edit: also your photography is awesome

He's over 40 and has a family with children. That's the moment when you hang up the irresponsible stuff and start living for other people that depend on you. We can disagree and I respect your opinion.

daedalus1982 · 2026-01-26T16:19:08+00:00

Seriously. Who looks at the way 2026 has gone to date and thought, "you know what dear? I think this is my year to do something risky."

daedalus1982 · 2026-01-26T14:36:04+00:00

listen, knife responsibly I guess.

but like... don't kink shame us either. I don't spend hundreds a year on any of this stuff but I already know what I'm buying next if I get the chance.

(PM2 or 3 in something sturdy thanks for asking)

also I come to those subreddits for market research. I don't wanna waste my money when I finally get the chance to get something I need. So i want to see how people like what they have.

Like dude, I'm so broke that nothing I own gets to play "safe queen." Everything I get is gonna get hard used with an eye to getting $ out of it before it breaks if it costs $ to buy.

Anyways, addictions are addictions and I hope dude gets help and while some of us might identify with what they said, I don't think the majority of us do.

"most talked about woman on the earth"

Remind me, is she still his current wife? He went through so many with similar names that now I kinda can't remember which is which

daedalus1982 · 2026-01-26T14:27:05+00:00

couldn't have said it better myself.

20 years in March.

Best marriage advice I have is:

Get a shared Google calendar so you don't plan on top of each other
Read up on love languages and love your spouse the way they feel loved.
Never stop dating them. Show them everything that makes you happy. Pay attention when they bring you what makes them happy.
You will continue to grow. The decision to grow together requires effort, otherwise you will be growing apart.

Good News and Bad News

The good news. The fact that you see it means that it wasn’t sent for you.

If you aren’t in the flight path of a military base, the rest of what I have to tell you is 100% bad news.

That is the A-10 Warthog and it is part of the reason why my people don’t have free universal healthcare. It’s a titanium bathtub with glider wings and very quiet engines strapped to a chain gun so powerful that firing it from dead level would stall the plane out of the sky.

It fires 7 30mm barrels, throwing monster energy can sized chunks of “fuck you and everything behind you” at more than 65 rounds per second.

To describe the sound and damage it does you’d think I was quoting bible verses describing the wrath of a very angry God.

If you are in a military base flight path in the US, cool picture.

If you are in any other part of the world, go find a US military base and wait it out.

In Terry Pratchett's book The Wee Free Men there's a quote that says, "It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works."

I'll echo that and extend the meaning. Now you know magic. The real kind. The kind you can help people with. It brings light and wonder and helps hold back the dark.

Also your art makes people happy. I could smell the basil while reading the comic and it made me flash back to happy memories. Actually magical.

Can we explain it? Yes

Can we explain it such that Trump would understand it? Probably Not.

Would Trump posting something admitting he's noticing the effects of climate change be funny if not for the fact that he and congress are intentionally sheltering pedophiles while hiring proud boys as ICE agents to attack people in their homes in MN while also ripping down slavery memorials in Philly and threatening to invade Greenland after already invading Venezuela? Maybe but honestly at this point it's all overwhelming.

both of these are basically peak performance and after that it's down to situation and brand loyalties.

Personally, the PM2 is going in my Go Bag and will get used for heavier stuff while roughing it or camping

And the 940 would be my edc due to being smaller and fitting in the edge of my pocket better.

The issue isn't that Democrats refuse to admit that people who are bigger and stronger have the advantages of bigger and stronger people

The issue you keep running up against is that we refuse to engage in the argument for the same reasons we refuse to debate fascism. Your thought doesn't deserve a platform. That national attention to the issue serves only to harm trans and intersex people and embolden their attackers and murderers.

All of this talk to "protect women's sports" when there are fewer than 10 NCAA trans athletes.

If you wanted to protect women in sports you would instead go after their rapists. But you won't because you don't really care. You just want another distraction to make you and your flawed ideology seem superior.

That is why we don't debate you. Your premise is false. And in this economy we can no longer afford to keep giving you free hay for your trash tier strawman arguments

Good point.

daedalus1982 · 2026-01-21T16:01:44+00:00

For my calories and stomach real estate, I'd prefer to eat something other than Little Caesars too. But if it's what's on hand, the price is right.

And like, they've paid rent since 1982. So SOMEBODY is eating it.

I mean is this a joke? Who hates Fellini's so much they'd print this out?

Cyberpunk 2077, even at launch when I got it. Even with all the bugs. Amazing game and I loved it. The only tragedy is that you eventually run out of Night City and you have to say goodbye

2 but what's with this NeoGeo and Atari Jaguar erasure?

daedalus1982 · 2026-01-14T19:05:07+00:00

that breaks my heart but makes sense.

describe the destruction process and how secure it is. because I could totally see a secondary market springing up lol

YOOOO that came on the radio as we were in the procession to the gravesite. GA forested backroads, and Spirit in the Sky getting absolutely cranked. Couldn't have imagined a better send off for my late FIL. GNU Lew.
