Meanwhile both of the, Apple especially, kissing Trump’s ass and licking round the hole. Ballroom Atrocity, sponsored by Big Tech, tells me which companies to avoid.

Oh god yeah, so many LED grow lamps and LED drivers that melted or burned out well below their rated amperage. Leaves one to wonder if an entire house is worth saving $10.

Yeah I got back on FB after a 10-year absence for my nonprofit, and then Insta. Went as far as downloading the apps to my phone. Within 1 week my mood and productivity had completely collapsed. I was just sitting there slumped into my chair, like I was hooked up to an IV drug or something. I used to do the same with Reddit to an extent, and being banned there was actually good for me. Now I am - well that nonprofit, I started with all the time I wasn’t wasting on Reddit. Fuck all that dopamine-addicted noise. I’m quitting weed this Christmas break, I want all my neurotransmitters back.

I am failing to connect the two time scales you mention.

If you want to test this, start up conversations with the combat vets around you. You might not like the answers. That’s the vast majority of killers I’ve known (that I’ve known).

This right here is why we can’t have nice things.

Nest’s security system shipped with an undocumented microphone they activated later, sadly this isn’t totally limited to Chinese crap.

That’s when things started going off the rails yes. Remember Victoria and the good ol days?

They’ve been around for a decade or more in Japan.

I assure you it’s been a topic in their house, especially since they use those front gates to receive people in tuxes and ballgowns.

Also people use the light poles across the street to post nasty paper memes about Sarah, sometimes they get left up for weeks because they’re angled so the staff can’t see them.

We’re neighbors with Sarah Huckabee Sanders and lots of folks let their dogs use the lawn outside her gates as a toilet - and I’m not saying I have encouraged my dog, or taken photos of it, or made it my Christmas card last year - but it’s been a topic, “should we all be letting our dogs shit on her lawn, since her lawn crew cleans it up?” Yeah, we should. But it was a good thought exercise.

We are in for it now. Public heath has always ben a sisyphean task. Interrupt it and you lose ground immediately and constantly until you go backstop the fall. Which is to say, we’re in for it.

This also applies to houses, boats, and inevitably surrogates now that they’re using them like pack mules.

I’ve only been supporting Enterprise for a while, but for me Win 11 is just Win 10 with more graphical overhead, and a start menu coded with React for some goddamn reason, because it’s fun to gamble as to how many seconds it will take to pull up the start menu this time.

They’re only being classified as weapons in prosecution, not being banned.

The article claims that changes in water lines resulted in altered perceptions of the border line. As if international borders are hallucinogenic in some way? IDK

I run a nonprofit and as soon as I got our new website up, a board member insisted the domain route through Cloudflare. I choose my battles with this guy, so I went ahead and did it. Thus, fixing a nonexistent problem means our website is now subject to Cloudflare downtime.

I have a 403(b) because I work at a university but yes we get to pick between a ton of stock funds but also a handful of blended assets, an invested bond, and a non-invested bond if you really think shit’s gonna go south. My last job did not offer this kind of thing tho.

Thank you, yeah I took a $30k pay cut into my current job after being laid off for 5 months, which destroyed us. Now I have to figure out how to consolidate and secure all the debt so we can get enough credit to consolidate and secure all the debt :) Hoping for a reversal like you, glad you found it.

What would Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey say about this extravagant internet connection you’re using right now? And did you eat today? Just expense after expense with you.
