  • Dragging myself out of my house to deal with this maddening existence called life, despite every fiber of my being telling me to stay home and avoid all you annoying flesh-bags that just do everything you can to irritate me.

    That and I read daily.

    No matter what level of effort you’ll be using… don’t get the Walmart brand. Yeah, they’re good for beginners and can handle the occasional weekend project. But even you don’t use them enough to wear them out, the other dads/men will make fun of you for having the hardware equivalent of velcro shoes from the dollar store.

    Honest answer: I started with DeWalt. Had issues. Went to Milwaukee. Never regretted it.









  • I use Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

    At work, windows cause I have to. I hate it.

    To tinker with CLI and coding, Linux. I SSH into it from work to check my email with Mutt and browse the web with Lynx.

    My computer that I just want to operate and do what it’s supposed to? Mac. Thing runs like a Toyota - non-stop and when you need it.

    When I wanna play a game, I wanna play a game. I don’t wanna watch a damn movie I can’t skip. Or even worse, “follow me!” like it’s Dora the Explorer on tutorial mode. I got like 30 minutes into God of War and gave up.
