Weirdfish

My brother and sister were ordained to perform my younger brothers wedding. This joke had a lot of legs that weekend.

I'm considered an expert in my field, and with almost 20 years experience I tried what you are suggesting.

The thing all us tech geeks forget about when starting a business, is all the stuff that actually goes into the running a business part of it.

You want to focus on the work, but there are bills, invoices, client and project management, etc.

I had clients, I had projects, but I didn't have nearly enough time in the day to handle all of it.

Then clients started paying late, causing all kinds of fees to stack up. So even when I had time to do the work, I was distracted and nothing got done the way I wanted.

I tried hiring an admin, but it was too little too late. In the end I went back to being the in house guy at a large company, where I get to focus on the stuff I am good at and enjoy.

I'm not saying don't do it, I'm saying be very very aware about all the other elements before going off on your own.

Bonfire from Dark Souls, because you don't want to lose your soul by failing to save progress.

At one of the no kings rallies, I feel something hit me in the back. Turn around to see a small girl running over to get the large Styrofoam sign that the wind had blown out of her hands.

She looks up saying "I'm sorry!".

"It's ok, I'm not a space shuttle, I can survive being hit by a foam block".

Crickets.

In a few years time, my girlfriend went from "I haven't played games since NES" to having a platinum in most soulsborn games.

Eldin ring was the first game that was new to both of us, and we did our first play through co-op and had a wonderful time.

Went back and played through the trilogy and Bloodborn. It was my first time going past Yarnim, and the first time I actually got Bloodborn.

The most memorable I think was when we started fresh characters to do the Elden ring DLC.

Unfortunately yes. In another post someone asked "what's to stop Trump bombing Chicago?". The only real answer is American service members all the way down the chain of command disobeying the blatantly illegal order to bomb Chicago.

At the end of it all, political power really rests in who has the biggest stick, and the biggest stick in the world is the US military.

If the military is beholden to Trump, then he has his kingship, if they honor their oath to the constitution, he doesn't.

Been shaving my head with shortest guard since I joined the military in '96. Haven't paid for a hair cut since. I'll let it grow out until it annoys me and / or starts to look too shaggy.

My honey was complaining that the memory foam mattress was too soft, so I ordered a king sized 14" firm one.

Holy hell that thing is heavy and a total pain in the ass to get up stairs.

Now we have to wait 48 hr for the thing to unshrink as it blocks the entire dining area.

I would not fuck a Tesla.

For small projects, I'll use csv files for my data.

It's much faster for me to prototype concepts in simple text files than designing and building a database.

Once the project matures or scales large enough, I've usually reached the point I'm going to rewrite it from scratch "the right way", so will build a database if it makes sense.

Maybe one in twenty projects reach the point it's worth moving.

You don't quit skating cause you got old, you got old cause you quit skating.

My primary media device is a PS4, so while a pihole might do something, I can't add anything to the device itself.

I just mute and look at Lemmy on my phone till I can skip the ad.
