@godteeth download link? I would never put a strange USB drive in my computer and I no longer have a CD drive in any of them either.

i feel like git really suffers from not having one definitive source to learn modern git
git switch is complete news to far too many people

When a wetlands monster like this runs towards you don't try to run – she's faster. Just very calmly reach into your pocket for treats. If you don't have any, try scratching her under the chin.

@jpm the question of zoologically appropriate eye placement caused me some thought when I was in a similar situation some years back

Two potential placements of eyes on crimping pliers that look like a profile of a monster
Forward view of “herbivore style” eyes on pliers, which make them appear timid
Carnivore style eyes
Pliers doing side-eye

@ics I once drove past Liechtenstein, there was extremely localised rain as we went along it's borders. Then it stopped after we left.

I've never seen such localised heavy rain in my life. It was like a weather machine was turned on. Plus we couldn't find the local roads in to drive through it.

I'm kinda convinced it's latveria and the Prince of Liechtenstein is Doctor Doom

andreas, der tapfere

@ics
This is all the funnier when you consider that Liechtenstein is one of only two countries in the world that is double-landlocked. You have to cross at least two other countries to reach any seacoast.😂

People call way too many buildings brutalist.

Many buildings are built in the style of brutalism, but only one can be the brutalist.

@LilahTovMoon thats pretty brutalist, can I offer a retort of the KFC in manila

A KFC in manila with alternating directional hard angles at 45 degress with each with a statk red and grey concrete paint scheme, it is located next to a ford dealership
Continuously passing with style 💅🏻

@LilahTovMoon Now I miss seeing the former Armstrong Rubber Company building in New Haven, Connecticut, which is apparently a hotel. ;_;

Wide shot of said building, architected in a brutalist style, with each face having windows inset into the concrete

@LilahTovMoon I'm sorry for the following terrible joke.

A screen cap of Nathan Explosion from the cartoon series Metalocalypse. He's a white man with long black hair, with an approving, if fierce expression. He's saying "Brutal."

There are those moments when you can feel it in the skin on your skull tightening and straining all that while the gravity is crushing you down and melting bones until you are on the floor or coach and can’t move up or to the side and the blood beats the slow painful rhythm and the last thought is stuck and you feel the realization feeling your mind that life is a four letter word and then the deepest lizard brain slithers to you with lisp: it’s night, you need to sleep.
