No.

Mega Man 2 theme. Phone is usually on vibrate but I put it into noisy mode from time to time.

I work in cyber security and I was spending the day in the SOC (security operations center, room full of nerds and a ton of monitors, everyone is watching security events). I left to take a piss and didnt take my phone. Someone called and ringtone played at top volume while I was away. Upon return I was greeted to half the room thinking it was funny the other half being most irritated with me. I was a director back then, so they couldn’t really say too much (I mean, I wouldn’t have cared, but corporate pecking order) which made it all the funnier.

I have add. Proper diagnosis from a doctor and everything.

I’ve had to learn how to curb impatience. It is not a permanent affliction, it is a bad habit. Patience is a virtue that can be nurtured.

Its called clickbait and Jalopnik is a piece of shit site anyway.

I will never understand those who are afraid to face down a cashier. Is it REALLY that bad?

So many people complain about how modern society is isolating, but then go running to do stuff where they further isolate themselves.

I steal on purpose. Fuck self checkout, just more corporate greed.

Have a handful for the incels and weirdos who are too scared to face down an intimidating cashier, but leave us normal folks out of it.

Bagging groceries is a lot of kids’ first job, but now I have to do it and they dont get a chance for a low-pressure first job.

Spin it let’s begin it bear and grin it when you’re in it, you can win it in a minute if you spin it spin it spin it!

If this is so fun to do, try it at an NBA game, or better yet, an NHL game.

Also, Americans are subject to supporting this bullshit. If any company in the us (or in the world really) owns or maintains data that the EU qualifies as adult-oriented, they have to either maintain a means of actively prevent EU users or support the filtering and tracking that the EU mandates. If not, they can be fined by the EU, and as long as there is a financial relationship between the us and EU, the fines will be enforced.

This has global impact.

I’m curious if more companies will move their hosting to countries that are non compliant with EU regulations and move to accepting payment from cryptocurrency only. I would not be surprised if x-rated content providers were to move to such places.

This, but also they taste nasty. Why would I want to eat a bottom-feeding sea bug?

Are these things reliable? I’m not in a position to replace currently but I do like to think about these things before the need arises.

I’ve had gas tanked for years. What I appreciate is that they need nothing from me. I flush the tank once a year and that’s it. They just do their job quietly and without need. I don’t think about it, and I love that.

I’ve been burned with crappy modern appliances. Tried front load washers, three and they were all crap. Sometimes wouldn’t spin, they were smelly, expensive and unreliable. Switched back to top loader because it just works. Same experience with a dishwasher. Used very little energy, but did a lousy job, was expensive and had to fuss with it constantly.

I’d like lower energy costs but not if the thing won’t work or have weird conditions. If five people who live in the house can overrun it with two showers, thats not useful or if it takes an hour to heat a tankful.

Because hes overrated, not funny and screwed Conan. He is undeserving of his success.

I’ve been using mint for maybe 10 years now. I still run into frustrating shit.

Brother printer, well supported by Linux still likes to fight. Playing with brsane4 configs is a joy. Scanning feels like it is still the same all these years later. Cups is not cute.

So many little issues you just have to work through. Virtual box USB pass through; you need virtual box and also the addon pack and you have to add your local user to the vboxusers group, THEN it works. May I please have proton drive? No? OK then. I want to play some old emulated games, Lutris looks promisi–oh my god WHY?!

I’m used to it at this point, but expecting regular users to sudo apt install blah blah ain’t happening. Sure ain’t happening if they hold broken packages or get stuck where one dependency of a package is unresolvable

Now do something about fucking backwater-ass mayors courts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Mayor's_Courts

Also, HE’S NOT FUNNY!!!

His movies are forgettable. He’s like Jay Leno, popular beyond all reason for having done nothing meaningful.

If I paid the obscene amount of money that those things cost I’d be mad as hell if the knobs were made of fucking plastic.

I was thinking the same thing? Who are these animals that somehow destroy a metal knob on a commercial-style $8000 Bosch oven that is made of stainless steel?!

Bald asshole

Theyre typically fed corn because it is cheaper, easy to store and transport and it makes beef taste “better”. Cows are supposed to eat grass, not corn.

It would have to get pretty bad before people would be willing to forgo convenience.

That stuff is a nasty drug, very addictive and people will sell everything they got to keep it. They’d rather pay and arm and a leg instead of learning a little technology so they could help themselves.

People will slave themselves to the company that lets them be the most ignorant person possible but still enjoy the fun of technology.

Could you imagine if all mobile devices stopped using face recognition to unlock phones? I’d be willing to bet that a big chunk of people wouldn’t be able to use them at all. I’m surprised that google and apple haven’t started charging extra for that.
