I’m sure the total amount in the class would be about 1/20th (or less) than that round of funding. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…2uaj what about referring to them randomly with the three words, “Random Penguin”, “Penguin House”, “House Penguin”, etc?? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…85tn are they dogs or dinosaurs? 🤣 npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…7nxw I couldn’t imagine trying to visit all of the libraries here in IL. Does the 183 libraries include special, academic, and schools, along with public libraries? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…kam5 looks like a pretty good band. Only thing that would’ve been better is if it was pink or rose gold, right? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…kam5 do you mean this one? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…z7vu I’m re-listening to the entire Galatic Cold War series in order to listen to “the Armageddon Protocol”, and I chuckle at each of the Star Wars references that I manage to catch. I’m sure that there are plenty that I’m missing. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…kam5 how could someone cheat on Sabrina? Makes no sense at all. But, maybe I’m out of touch (entirely possible). npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…kam5 npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…0tvd my relationship with Kubernetes is just like my dating life too, non-existent. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @nprofile…5tcn that makes sense to me. Just like “if you have 10 priorities you don’t have any priorities” npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1k9m…tej5 If I recall correctly you use a 2.5gb switch, correct? if so, do you mind sharing which model that is? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1t5m…9guy I’m sorry you’re having a run of bad luck. I hope it changes very quickly and luck comes back on your side. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr I actually laughed out loud… and who says you’re not hot now at 29? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr I listened to the latest episode of the Talk Show and you said you wished Apple Intelligence could make you 10 years younger…do you really want to be 19 again? 🤣🤣 npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m it’s almost like Apple doesn’t care about developers…. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1gfd…7gg6 running chrome on linux? Oh wait… never mind that’d just use all your memory not the cpu. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m I’m curious as to what industry the new job is in. Totally understand if you’d rather not say. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m The podcast is called Play Retro http://frogpants.com/playretro. They cover anything that's 20 years or older. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m do you enjoy retro gaming at all? I’m wondering because there’s a podcast that you kight be interested in if you are into retro gaming. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr i agree that jail time would be a deterrent for others. I also think holding the board, ceo, and/or private equity firm financially liable, would be an even bigger deterrent. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1t5m…9guy wow, way to attack me 🤣🤣🤣. Honestly though, this is 100%. There’s no way it should be July already. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1gfd…7gg6 most of my job is writing PHP, it can be quite useful in many situations, but it definitely has its own shortcomings that cannot be easily rectified. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub15ml…2w4s 2100. SF Symbols uses generative AI to create endless entertainment for the remaining humans after the SF Symbol war. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1eee…e209 “The Yankees really are the best team in baseball” npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon Apple WWDC 2024 Keynote Recap npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1gfd…7gg6 prompt response, puppy retriever, or popular response. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1xxt…f2tp I shouldn’t have laughed so hard at that, but I did. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m is it a sweet reveal?

They were through the Apple Store. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub15ml…2w4s regarding AppleCare+ after the two years, you will be able to get monthly AppleCare+ after the fact. I've done that with my iPads when two years of AppleCare+ is done. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1ept…jcl3 I’m surprised you don’t have an auto-subscription for like a case of it delivered in late March. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr I know. I listen to some music and then I add it to play next. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr I thought I’d let you know that I am absolutely blaming you for the fact that I can’t get “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey out of my head… npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr bar songs are definitely popular. TBH is song is super catchy too. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m all of the coffee… I repeat ALL the coffee. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m That cover art is epic. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr yes, I got the cardinal, target exclusive, I do record exclusive. I haven’t purchased the Quilted one, but probably should. There’s also a Walmart variant, but I haven’t purchased that one either. A a of course a. Original version. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m It’s a millenial, it’s younger than I am, and I’m a millennial. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1gfd…7gg6 do you mean virtual servers, or like managed servers? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1hvz…mle9 when I was doing my podcast, yes, a few times I just deleted everything re-wrote it, and started over. My producer (me) was a real stickler about being usable. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m I was calculating how much it would cost, including lenses, taxes, and AppleCare+, and it’d probably be close to $4500... npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon I’m an early adopter and as much as I’d like to get an Apple Vision Pro, I don’t think I can justify the cost. It’s just not in my budget. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1t5m…9guy I feel attacked by that screenshot. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m my only comment on this is “to each their own” if you don’t like pumpkin pie, great. If you don’t like sweet potato pie, great. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1t5m…9guy it is definitely useless info, but interesting none the less. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr I saw this news and was like “aw fuck”. Gone too soon. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr is absolutely buying a Series 9 Apple Watch. Just for the color. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1r5l…5l0q you’d think with the popularity of Ted Lasso they’d create the colors of the teams. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1hvz…mle9 in that case I think “dear acquaintance” makes the most sense. What about the phrase “fond acquaintance”, or does that presume more familiarity than the relationship? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1hvz…mle9 first, I’m so sorry for your loss of a such a dear acquaintance. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr I don’t doubt that portable units aren’t enough. I take it you don’t/can’t have window units? I know that it’s not the same as central A/C. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr I’m sorry you have to deal with having no A/C at any point when you need it. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr damn, yes they should’ve known, even if it was just split units and not central. Definitely a failure on the builders part. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1utv…87lr you mean “luxury”, right? When was the building built? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1ept…jcl3 so you’re going to sleep for the next 34 hours? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m I know, it's just a crazy notion that I had. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m And maybe it would work over the air? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon Callling @npub1utv…87lr npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1qw5…037m that article is filled with all sorts of crap.🤣 npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1z4z…c7uh here's some great linux administration information npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1tel…4v4v similar to how Taco Bell won the restaurant wars? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1k08…6xvn interestingly those created at times are from February 10th 2017. not sure why such an early date, unless they just created one out of thin air. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub13kt…6n87 you’re probably right, I guess i just overthink things. I’m guessing that they don’t track the emails that were successful, except by getting the credit card info. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub13kt…6n87 beyond not actually generating the code, seems rather limiting to only go with five numbers for a service ID. npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1t5m…9guy is this an @npub1edq…x49w type of thing, or a “aaaahh time to relax@ type of thing? npub1kfgpdhajvrwzytscyradwql8ql8ef3gtkk4xzrs42drv7yhe9r3qrw2m83 Wayne Dixon @npub1q2t…jr8a @npub1kyv…rt63 along with that restrict them from accessing any of their other personal funds.
