I'm an idiot.
I was trying to install #Haskell on a machine and thought the installer was taking a really long time. In my defense, the last line of text was:
Installation may take a while.It sat at this stage for over an hour while I did other stuff, because I hadn't bothered to read the previous line:
Press ENTER to proceed or ctrl-c to abort.
hlint is a great tool for pointing out where your code can be improved, but sometimes its suggestions are... interesting. Case in point, it just recommended changingmap (\(a, b) -> {- ...stuff... -}) $ zip as bsto
zipWith (curry (\(a, b) -> {- ...stuff... -})) as bsinstead of
zipWith (\a b -> {- ...stuff... -}) as bs

Why is there no music in my headset?
Oh.
*restarts the aNONradio stream that I stopped when I stepped out for a moment, and goes back to doing other stuff*
*~60 seconds pass*
Wait, there's still no music.

No one is getting fired over this, right?
Correct. HR systems are down too.

Mormon apologists: Maybe the reason the teen suicide rate in Utah is so high is because of the altitude.
Me: That feels like bad planning on God's part when he told Brigham Young to settle there, doesn't it?

Got an oscilloscope as a late birthday present. One of the features listed on the box is "firmware updates".
Why on earth would an oscilloscope need firmware updates? It's an oscilloscope.
Next up: learn how to use an oscilloscope. 🙃

We have to order @Benny's food from the vet because he's on a prescription diet. Tried using their on-line ordering option. We ordered his food a week ago. It just arrived this morning.
We just got tracking now.
Thanks. That's helpful.

I hate when people talk about hobby tools as like "if you value your time"
1) fixing is a skill you should hone
2) fixing can be fun
3) hobbies are not something to optimize
Discussing valuing someone's time spent on hobbies in dollars is the worst grindset babble imaginable

I sell products ready-assembled, and do-it-yourself kits for building the same products. Some of my customers buy the kits because they really like building kits, and that's great.
But others buy the kits because they think they're entitled to the finished product at a lower price, and they begrudge every second of effort they must put into building the kit. Those people really exist and they are the market for tools that purport to save "the value of your time."

@Matthew Skala Yeah, that's valid. If you're doing it to save money - that's fine.
But this is a criticism of the *argument*, not the sale. People can and should sell preassembled things, kits, and more! Not everyone wants to build! But if someone is building on purpose, don't tell them to value their time.

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING!!!
A trailer for the Sierra On-Line documentary has just dropped!
It features both Ken and Roberta Williams – the founders of the most important PC gaming company ever. Certainly, it was the most influential American gaming company after Atari.
Roberta Williams was a huge influence on me and millions of children who primarily gamed on PCs. She brought us King’s Quest, Laura Bow, Phantasmagoria, and a host of beautiful PC gaming classics. To me, she was as good of a game designer as Shigeru Miyamoto.
I wish Sierra still existed. I miss the magic that they created.

So a new job opportunity didn't pan out because it caused me a meltdown and a depressive episode the likes of which I haven't felt since the last worst day of my life.
This means I will be trying to find work that doesn't trigger all my mental health problems at once, which is going to be so so much harder. I am disabled and unqualified for most things.
It would save me if I started getting sales more regularly than once every couple months. If you (yes, you!) would be interested in buying a crocheted *anything,* whether I have it in my store or not, please hit me up!!! I will do requests!!! I can also do embroidery!! I can embroider a penis if you want!!!
Please boost my posts and give me a follow and think about if you'd like to buy something. I'm feeling... so bad right now. So so bad. So so so bad.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention that I've grown disillusioned with capitalism over the past several years. What's interesting to me though is that any time I express this publicly, there are no shortage of capitalists who falsely assert that I am claiming that communism is the ultimate solution to everything. This is a false dichotomy.
I am not saying I have the answers to the world's problems. I just have eyes to see that the emperor has no clothes.

Hey #Unix folks recommend me your favorite games that can run in the terminal that aren't:
1) the most basic boring arcade stuff like snake or missile command
2) roguelikes/dungeon crawlers (love em but there's no lack of those)
3) chess, backgammon, etc., more meaty board games sure but there's already a million easy to find ways to play chess in a terminal
edit: 4) IF, I know where to find plenty of that, forgot this one
This is for my machine with no gui so when I say terminal I mean terminal not just like "text based and looks like it'd be in a terminal maybe".

are you certain? It could last I checked!
[PRINT_MODE:TEXT] in data/init/init.txt
@via unreachable I didn't have an init folder under data. I added it and got the following when I launched it, I got the following error:
Display not found and PRINT_MODE not set to TEXT, aborting.
@me it looks like Debian moved stuff around; try editing /usr/share/games/dwarf-fortress/gamedata/data/init/init.txt
Change [PRINT_MODE:2D] to [PRINT_MODE:TEXT], and you should get curses output.
