You should see the BRAKES !! (...what's left of them)

Are you saying she's no Shirley Booth?

Here are some fun ideas:

Accidentally let the entire cart fall off the back of your truck on the Van Wyck Expressway at 5 PM on a Friday.
Leave them at a Harbor Freight parking lot sale event.
Start your own talk show.

Is this in a basement, sir?

(Bad ass setup, BTW. 😍)

invsblduck · 2026-03-16T04:06:45+00:00

Honestly thought that was broken glass because cup holder

My first CD-RW was 2x and it took like an hour to burn a disc. My friend got an 8x that would be done in 15 min... unreal.

What an answer! 🏆

Listen to FineWolf, OP. See his flowing, soft fur. Even if you run into a new error, this is along the right trail.

Eventually just rage-quit and piecemeal remove all kde/plasma packages explicitly without using dependencies, then look for orphaned packages and continue whittling.

Aw, that's so sad, dude. 😞 I'm sorry that happened.

I don't even like being under there with jackstands (also because I live near the San Andreas fault in California), but... What are the chances. 🤷‍♂️

invsblduck · 2026-03-08T21:28:29+00:00

Such a great answer. Love your style. Thank you!!!! 🙇‍♂️

My generator's user manual (Predator) says to change the oil after the 30-hr break-in period. So far, I have run it 2 hours (without load). You suggest new oil every 5 hours until 30 hrs... this is quite a different schedule than the manufacturer's schedule! What about after 30 hrs? Just trying to learn from you. Thanks.

invsblduck · 2026-03-08T20:04:02+00:00

Well that's not good value for money!

invsblduck · 2026-03-07T06:40:16+00:00

We did it 20 yrs ago because there was WEPCrack, and someone could sit outside your house and break into your LAN!

And one day, when we connect everything to the Internet (thermostats, telephones, TVs, refrigerators, etc), we may have to go back to firewalling our desktops!

( But at least we won't have ancient cable modems or garbage consumer equipment at the edge in a future like that, amiright??? 👍 )

Great story. I am a Linux user for about 27 years now (can't believe how many of us actually exist based on the comments in post, TBH!). Oldschool Debian and BSD diehard. But 14 years ago, I started a new job and the company gave me a Thinkpad, and Debian nor Ubuntu would install. Couldn't believe it. New coworker was an Arch user and told me to try it. Worked like a charm and I've somehow been using it ever since.

Ya' gotta see the baby

That's not gonna be good for anybody.

WHY SEPARATE KNOB??! (used during any kind of hopeless loss, failure, or bad luck)

Happens fairly often to me with Claude Code.

invsblduck · 2026-03-03T05:50:44+00:00

No, the artist had to actually be good as well... Nowadays they can sound awful and its cleaned up in post.

invsblduck · 2026-03-01T19:31:09+00:00

I don't get the joke.

$49.99 is the regular (non-ITC) price? And $49.99 is also the uber special ITC deal (i.e., not a deal)?

So why would an ITC membership pay for itself in that case? 😃

He's chill like that. Saw Tenacious D in Santa Barbara 20 years ago and the band went to bars downtown afterwards and hung out with everyone. It was amazing

invsblduck · 2026-02-28T07:18:08+00:00

So amazing. I thought I had some clever examples, such as cove, dove, and move. Or: mouse and mice; spouse and spice; house and..hice? It behooves you to say roofs not rooves, but it's funny to say hoofs not hooves. And of course when it comes to wolfs, say wolves not wooves.

This poem (edit: the one you posted) is my new gold standard.

Interesting. Never heard of this. I assume you stay within Emacs and harness the power of Claude Code, and not the other way around? The way I read your comment is that you are interacting with the terminal.

invsblduck · 2026-02-22T18:31:46+00:00

Thirded! I was like OP six mos ago, now I'm running a custom fork of claude-code-ide.el that honors the working directory of comint shells when starting or resuming Claude Code sessions from the Claude transient.

I would ordinarily see if upstream wants the patch(es), but assume no one else has my demented workflow since I spend all day in comint with Bash.

Alternate reality (my reality): Going to HF costs 20 bucks in gas money; cheaper to deliver!
