Maria PopovaPeanuts and the quiet pain of childhood – how Charles M. Schulz, born 100 years ago today, made an art of difficult emotions https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/01/20/charles-schulz-peanuts-biography-david-michaelis/
@jab01701mid @Pwnallthethings He made less than 200 million off PayPal, but that's well past the point where, if you've no morals, you can easily become a billionaire with some investing. Musk's entire valuation is because of his cult of personality. Tesla is struggling so badly that they lost several first mover advantages due to mismanagement. The only reason SpaceX hasn't had much in the way of competition is because it's a capital-intensive industry with few if any existing competitors.

I am constitutionally incapable of not doing this now.
He knows when you are sleeping.
He knows when you're on the can.
He'll hunt you down and blast your ass from here to Pakistan.
Ohhhh, you better not breathe
You better not move
You're better off dead
I'm tellin' you dude.
Santa Claus is gunning you down!
@MSparks For what it's worth, when I worked retail, I would recommend people against buying on Black Friday, at least the specials. They're built to hit checkboxes and a pricepoint, not to be a holistically good device. You likely didn't miss much, if anything, from not having the purchase ready to go.
@brewsterkahle @internetarchive @textfiles I remember how much fun I had with Dope Wars in high school
Brewster Kahle"The Internet Archive just put 565 Palm Pilot apps in your web browser / Dope Wars, Space Trader, Graffiti, memos, calculators and more: the Internet Archive’s instant Palm Pilot emulator is an app store before the App Store."

Graham Sutherland / Polynomialif you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself.
at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port.
So I actually completed a game for... goddesses above, I think the first time in 2022. Star Ocean: The Divine Force is solid, and manages to keep a mostly good story in line with SO3. The end section flags a little bit, and the general lack of other planets to visit is a little frustrating, but I enjoyed it overall. Would recommend if you like the series, might be cool if you generally like JRPGs.
@humbird0 @TechConnectify I used to work in a Walmart photo lab and the main buyers of actual disposable cameras are parents with super little kids who want to take pictures, old folks, and people who would rather spend $100 on disposables, then another $100 on processing, because it's "cheaper than getting a digital camera".
