I mean, if you’re not passing in the left lane…
I kid, i kid, I’ve been on those residential two lane roads. The number of people that think highway guidelines apply on a residential road are mind-blowing. Like, I’m in this lane because I’m turning left in a mile and trying to merge a full-size work van with medium traffic congestion is a challenge already. I’m sorry I kept you from driving your Mazda like a Maserati
Can i just thank you so very much for that amazing etymology summary you just made? I can’t even grammar right now, love it!
I felt ya. If it isn’t misspelling word it’s random capitalization in you’re post. Gboard used to just work. Now it mostly sucks
(For the record: *feel *words, *your)
Like punching someone in the dark!
J/K, I have a pavlovian response to the phrase “victimless crime”
TBH I didn’t feel that strongly, but I could not resist channeling BLM
That analogy works for many things these days
My institutional memories prevent me from buying Sony
When the PS4 came out and my old friends were clamoring over it i thought, “In 2003, we swore ‘never again’. In 2013, we broke that promise.”
But i NEVER DID

Dude I went straight back to J&R on Park Row and returned that thing. I had SD cards from my camera that I planned to use, and didn’t ask about storage at the store (mistakes of youth lol). I eventually got a Zen (30Gb!) a year or two later. What a tank!
And it wasn’t a proprietary storage card? They didn’t invent their own headphone jack that only works with Sony headphones? Amazing. It’s like a whole new company!
If you can’t tell, I’m still salty about aaaaaallllllllllllllllll the shit they pulled in the 90s/00s. Nothing like buying an mp3 player with money I should’ve been spending more responsibly and then learning I could only use Sony brand storage cards. Cards that cost twice as much for the same storage space. I bought my Xbox and dropped PlayStation solely because of those shenanigans.
If, in twenty years, HP makes the only computer that doesn’t give you literal AIDS I still won’t buy one. And i feel the same about Sony today
I pay for Proton and the non-free servers generally work, although some have been blocked.
Eventually I’ll treat Reddit like Pinterest, either blocking it entirely from search results, or using FF add-ons to bypass all the cruft laid over the website
There’s a German style brewery in Columbus, Ohio that sells black shirts with red block lettering that say “Helles Real” and I think it’s the best thing ever
This song is really silly but i feel like it’s the quintessential Midwestern road trip in song form
Be warned, it’s folk music, which means it’s catchy, in it’s own way
Yeah I’ll likely do a VM for 365. How does steam do on those distros? Or more specifically, how do BG3, Cyberpunk 2077, and RDR2 hold up? I’d just like to know how much wrestling I’m facing here
I have a friend that works with a rescue group in Colorado, almost exclusively for cattle dogs. They rescue and re-home the dogs for a variety of reasons. The most prevalent is the dog can’t work anymore and will be put down. That’s it. It got too old and is consuming resources without producing.
I’m not saying all farmers and ranchers are like this, but the mentality certainly exists. These people see certain life as a commodity only, and it often extends to cruelty to “lower life”. It’s even at the root of calling people who aren’t in their tribe “lower life”, and devaluing them accordingly
Will it make it easier to type out or sweetie swipe again? I’m so tired of having to edit every other word in a text or email. I’m On the other hand, much as Disney motivated me to finally investigate and implement a mass NAS box, Alphabet is finally motivating me to look into Graphene OS. And Microsoft, with it’s Windows 11 socket dickery, has me moving toward a Linux distro.
Btw, any suggestions on a distro that let’s Nvidia work out of the box, runs down Steam easily, and would allow me to use MS365 for work stuff without arguing to too much?
Man i have fond memories of S1 RvB.
“Lift with your back, not your legs. Groin it out”
Yep, ten year old me browsing the toy section until the spine of the Sears catalogue broke.
And, of course, thirteen year old me discovering boobies in the lingerie section
Brendan just wants to serve you better
Yeah there’s no point in spending the money on R&D and manufacturing just togive info to an outside party. This is either preventative like you say, or they plan to offer a subscription service to local PD’s at a price
