Spring's here: birds sing, pandemic rages. Time to update the #introduction.
disclaimers:
the fuckin smug nordic gamer face is wild to me too because it comes straight from 4chan's weirdo obsession with nordic-white people as like, "the ultimate white supreme race" but it's turned into this whole internet-wide meme
Joe Hayman's "Cohen on the telephone" bits are fun, especially the one poking at good old racist AF MFer Henry Ford:
"every time we started to talk Jewish, the Ford stopped running!"

"I say miss am I supposed to keep on saying 'are you there' and 'hello' until you come back? Well don't be long. Hello, are you there?"

Actually, was there ever a WB cartoon that pitted that scrappy little chicken hawk dude against the road runner as some ad hoc ally to Wile E. Coyote (in the same manner as the hawk becomes a manipulated ally of Foghorn or the Dog).
It'd be amazing because the Road Runner is some sort of chaos sprite. It doesn't win by being smarter, it wins by being fast and whimsically destroying the laws of physics. The chicken hawk wins by sudden and disproportionate violence.
There's absolutely no rigor to my numbers. Windows & Linux are the same machine, but Windows is via WSL. macOS is on an older MBP w/ < 1/2 the RAM of the PC, fan went so loud it sounded like me last time I tried jogging, but it still finished ahead of Linux.
What? Use the work laptop? Ha, no.
That thing makes my 2015 MBP look like some sort of thunder beast gaming machine.
