    Worth noting that there is such thing as color deficiency where specific colors appear more dull than they would for others. It isn’t technically colorblindness but could still make it harder to read these tests.

    One of my friends has this with red colors but could see everything else normally, and he described it as red looking way more desaturated than other colors (almost like a brown/gray?).







  • At least in my school the internal/external threat drills were normalized enough that they weren’t really traumatic. They were basically treated the same as fire drills. Looking back on it that fact is kind of messed up by itself.

    I could actually see that being a good argument for why they shouldn’t happen though since it might make people take the real thing less seriously if it ever happened.


  • I went to a high school on the larger side and one time some people 2 grades below me got into a fight. The next day one of them brought a gun to school. The security guards ended up catching him before anything happened but there was a solid hour where no one knew what the hell was going on and everyone was in full lockdown. The unfortunate reality is that those drills definitely save lives, even in a state with some of the strictest gun laws in the US (which I guess is a pretty low bar).

    Github contribution graphs (basically how much code you committed over time)

    *Unfortunately this graph is from Google images, not my account :(

    Edit: maybe I should have included a screenshot of light mode because it looks closer to the shower panels, oh well

    This was me ~4 years ago thinking XX60/XX70 series GPUs (X700 on amd) would eventually be powerful enough to run 1440p at more then 60fps, and now I’m still in the same situation because games are “more graphically intensive” (less optimized) and the same tier of card is now out of my price range

    I use an old VGA monitor with my modern desktop that I found in my school’s recycling bins. I only use it as a second monitor but I can confirm VGA monitors are still fine for displaying simple text/monitoring software. No point in throwing it out if it works and isn’t a security risk.
