  • I apparently have an unhealthy relationship with food. After not having much of it for a majority of my life, now that I can afford to eat 3 meals a day I usually make those meals way to big, to the point where I make myself sick a lot.

    My wife pointed out that I always need to be watching something while I eat and it’s likely me trying to ignore the fact that I’m constantly panic eating as much food as possible.

    I also can’t stand when people talk to me or look at me while I’m eating, especially in any sort of company. My wife says I’m like a rabid dog when we go out and tries to remind me that no ones going to come up and take my food away from me. But just this evening my toddler snatched the last chocolate cookie litterally out of my mouth, although to be fair I did the same thing to him with a piece of plastic he was trying to eat a few minutes earlier.

    Anyway there’s my somewhat related take.


  • I wish there was a good FOSS (or just works on Linux) alternative to adobe lightroom so I could stop fixing broken windows shit on my wife’s computer.

    She’s a photographer and does a lot of heavy editing stuff. I know there’s some alternatives but she says nothing comes close for what she needs to do, and from the few examples she showed me I agree.

    I don’t know what the fuck Microsoft is doing but almost everytime there’s an update something breaks on her laptop. The only thing she does is use lightroom, occasionally Photoshop and Firefox.

    I recently had to use her laptop to make a windows installer USB for someone and Rufus was cool. When installing windows though it just didn’t see any of the drives in the laptop? Apparently I had to load storage drivers specific to that laptop, which weren’t available anywhere online I could find. I managed to get it working by loading a bunch of unrelated drivers for a different HP model laptop, none of them related to storage. I think it was the Bluetooth driver that got it working, after it installed nothing was working, no mouse, speakers, USB ports. I had to install all of those same drivers again for some reason. Before that just to make sure the drive wasn’t bad I installed Debian on there and what do you know, it just did it, because of course it did, and everything worked.

    I got way off topic, but again what the fuck is microsoft doing?
