I bought my Sactional in mid-December with a 25% discount. All of the reviews I found were very positive. This thing is a beast! I only wish I'd found a good rug before setting it up. It's on a tile floor but hasn't budged so far. I love its Lego-ness.

The center section of my last sectional broke after about four months. Should any section break, I can quickly replace that piece instead of having to "deal with it" or replace the whole thing.

Jekyll, Gitlab Pages, and VSCode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Once you get the config and include syntax for Jekyll, it's a piece of cake.

I opened a few trending topics in different tabs. One said to log in. Logged in only to be told I was already logged in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like how is a 20oz at the gas station $2.50 and a 2 liter at the grocery store ALSO $2.50?

Flash was shuttered due to being a constant, huge security risk. So no modern browsers support it and there aren't any plugins for it other than Ruffle.

It's analytics. Google search brings up

"Years ago I dedicated a Flex Friday (our version of 20% time) to stargazers, a tool to query the CockroachDB repository for information about its GitHub stars and analyze the results. At the time of writing, we had 6,000+ stars (which felt like a lot), and the data in this blog will be based on that original set of 6,000 stargazers."

Which links to

https://github.com/spencerkimball/stargazers

"GitHub allows visitors to star a repo to bookmark it for later perusal. Stars represent a casual interest in a repo, and when enough of them accumulate, it's natural to wonder what's driving interest. Stargazers attempts to get a handle on who these users are by finding out what else they've starred, which other repositories they've contributed to, and who's following them on GitHub."

Any chance you could add "ColdFusion" to the list? Keywords: "coldfusion","cold fusion", "cfml". Should return around 1k job listings.

My high school had Apple IIe computers. My classmates had been stealing my homework when they asked to play a game from my disk. My "copy protection" was to name files using Alt characters (I think), so the file name looked like "HIST 202 REPORT", but the spaces were the Alt characters. No one could copy the files after that and the class grade average tanked. :)

  Desktop PC - General browsing and light gaming.
  Laptop PC - Work
  15" Macbook Pro (Intel) - Work (deprecated)
  16" Macbook Pro (M1 Max) - Work
  iPhone 13 Pro Max
  iPad Pro M1
  Amazon Fire tablet for guest access to wireless audio.
Monitors

  3 x 27" Acer IPS 2k monitors
  3 x 27" LG IPS 4k monitors
Protip: A 27" 4k monitors is a waste of a 4k monitor. Text is waaaay too small for coding at that resolution.

Everything else has been sold or recycled. I used to have PILES of desktops and servers, but I got over my nostalgia years ago.
