I used to ask my dad where we were on car trips.

“Directly above the center of the earth.” Thanks asshole.

I dunno, the hand… something tells me this image is mirrored, or he could be lefty…

My guess is he punched a hole in the drywall and his mom pushed him down the stoop to kick him out, hence the other light abrasions on knee and wrist.

I’m a gamer, and I do…

Then again, I’m mostly excited about using CUDA cores for cracking hashes and the like, lol.

Worked in Yellowstone for a summer.

Spent some time with the rangers. They got all sorts of questions…

Like which handgun caliber would be best to defend oneself from a bear.

Essentially, the ranger broke it down stating there was a weakness in the skull about the size of a bullet that you had to hit directly to have a chance of dropping a bear with a handgun. While its coming at you and pissed/hungry.

So essentially, you’ve just pissed off the bear before it gets it claws on you.

Well placed slugs from shotguns, rifle rounds, and preferably (according to the ranger in question) a tranquilizer to re-home the bear away from people. That being said, the bears are tracked to an extent and bears who show repeated behavior endangering themselves/tourists tend to be exterminated, sadly.

Hand to claw combat? Human is going down.

This is why in the past, when bears were hunted, they were hunted in their dens during hibernation - at the end of spears to keep that hungry bear as far away as possible from your soft easily rent flesh.

Just like that one kid who got caught buying a dime bag of weed. They directly and solely funded terrorism.

I rocked long hair from grade school to my mid 20s.

Then, a lady friend (platonic) sat me down and had a talk with me.

The thinning, now seemingly always greasy, strands of hair was not a good look. Like, don’t visit a playground or I would be arrested on site lol.

So, being a metal head there are two main options, or at least were at the time. Long hair. Or take bare clippers to it.

So, I did.

That first winter fucking suuuucked. Still to this day, I tend to rock a hoody in cold weather, and toss my hood up to cover my head for warmth when outdoors.

Sometimes I let it grow out for about a month before taking clippers to it again, out of sheer laziness. A month of growth, from shaved, isn’t much in the way of hair, but temperature wise it is very noticeable.

I’d clear up the message a little bit, but that might be the first bumper sticker I ever put on a car I owned.

Tomacco was a fictional product on the Simpsons, unless I missed something.

Which, if i I did, hey, neat.

I mean, 8 gigs of RAM is overkill depending on what you’re doing.

For general computing sure, but if you build out a device for a specific purpose, you can really cut down on a crap ton of resources including memory.

Unix principle, adopted by Linux. Do one thing and do it well.

Applies to more than just software design.
