Here's more

Yesterday, I walked to a nearby park only to discover a depressing scene. Today, I walked back with my phone to document it.

I love generic honor society invites. "I'd like to commend you for your hard work last semester." Bitch, I took a fucking medical withdrawal last semester, who the fuck are you tryin' to kid?

You ever just have one of those sneezes where you end up ripping your sinuses out?

Remember: I'm someone who's Dunning-Kruger'd herself into believing she's an expert. Don't try this at home.

And, of course, in all seriousness, don't do this unless you're sure it won't break shit. proj_api.h only checks for this macro to bitch at you for not having it and I'm pretty sure nothing else on my system relies on proj_api.h. And, of course, I'm a trained professional editing on a closed course. Don't try this at home

Ok, but seriously, I got an error trying to build gplates about needing to define an accept deprecated proj_api.h macro and I literally went in to /usr/include/proj_api.h and commented out that check. It seems to be fine. After all, that's the only place that macro is checked for and the program's building fine.

Trying to build a program from source but getting a fatal error from some header about needing to enable a macro? Just comment out that check in the header!

This tip brought to you by me doing that exact thing to get a program to compile.

I'm glad windows 7 provides me with ... stiky not

Took ten tries to get the video small enough, but here ya go. The shitty wafer lock on my desk.

Reminds me of that thing about opening a car door with a popsicle stick. (Yes, those are also wafer locks.)

Today in "Wafer locks are bad and you should seriously replace any you own," it turns out I can open and close the wafer lock on my desk using nothing but scissors. All it takes is a little bit of jiggling. Give me a minute, and I'll give you some video.

"Hello, Jesus. I would like to buy one of your magical bags."

Also, fun fact: Firefox also doesn't recognize "nihonium" as a word. Tsk.

I now wish I had taken a screenshot. It was a glorious failure

Playing Bookworm Adventures and I, uh, managed to make a word too new for the game. I put in the word "nihonium" (element 113, for those unfamiliar), thinking myself oh so clever, only for the game to be like, "Nope. Not a word." Turns out, nihonium wasn't named until 2016, well after this game came out. (In what is a good ending, I was at least able to make the word "niobium" instead).
