Win11 Paint annoys the hell out of me. This is it. We are breaking up. I’m going back to old Paint.

I ditched Notepad for Metapad years ago.

Winco. Goes as low as $2 lbs all the time. Get the whole thing, not cuts. Pork, sadly for the pigs, is cheap.

It’s an old problem. From the very start of the net, you had to sort the wheat from the chaff. Back then, the BS was human-generated. Now we have the addition of AI crap. But anyway, they solved it already. Its called wikipedia. (Or any other community curated data source as well.) I’m not some wiki fan, but that’s the world’s answer to encroaching bad data. An army of real, very corruptible, infighting, weird-as-hell wiki editors is our last stand against the BS.

Right on. I’m running searxng and whoogle. Whoogle is a low resource option, and it only sources Google. I like searxng for the deep results, all kinds of weird stuff pops.

I was recently recommended to check out YaCy. Haven’t done it yet.

Fair enough. I always thought a vegetarian diet sounded hard because of all the stuff you have to prep, but I eat all that stuff now. Your perspective changes when you actually try it. Sometimes I smoke meat on the weekend, that’s certainly a time sink. I make a rice/bean thing once or twice a week, lasts several days. It either has meat or gets some after I re-work it later. Veggies are usually cut and steamed in the micro or also tossed in the main course. I don’t eat breakfast, lunch is either stuff I smoked or cold cuts. On weeks where I don’t fire up the smoker, I probably spend a half hour every day preparing food. … But cooking makes a mess, so theres cleanup time. And I shop a couple times per week. There’s costs I’m not counting.

Buddy, that’s what I eat. You’re buried in some sort of fantasy. And apparently you shop at a luxury store, and ya don’t know how to actually shop. I’m telling you about my diet, not a study or research effort. You don’t believe me. That’s fine. Continue to be a victim. Keep eating crap.

That’s beautiful.

You should look at the External Funds thing mentioned in the article. It gives a different spending breakdown than Purchase History.

Help > Steam support > My account > Data related to your Steam account > External funds used. (Its the 13th item on a huge page full of stuff.)

Invest!

Your profile page will say your account birthday. Float your mouse over “Years of Service”.

Meh. You were late to the party. Musta got Steam to play Half Life Episode Two or Portal.

I got Steam so I could play Half Life 2 when it was released. May 4, 2006. 153 games. $1,725 spent.

This thing about not owning the games … um … Steam is a more reliable, stable, all around better repository for my games than any device I’ve ever owned. Other than the Ubisoft games that are designed to not be re-usable (never buy Ubi again) I have access to every game I’ve bothered to spend money on for the last two decades.

I like this guy.

Genious!!!

We’ll have it towed outside the environment.

Oh, the prep is by far the worst part. Well … after you get over having to tell the doc that you’re bleeding out your ass. That can be a challenge. But the prep … sitting on the pot with projectile diarrhea while you drink that chemical lemonade for 12 hours is not a good time.

And in all sorts of ways …

Fuk ya. Mine fell off. Way to be.

Ya, blue drinks make green poop!
