“Here is every illegal thing you’ve done since you were conceived, including the ones in countries that the US has an extradition agreement with. Also, here is how much we will pay you to be our bitch. Would you like to continue this discussion?”

What’s a garburstor?

In many places if you’re found guilty of committing a crime and it’s “gang related” then the consequences go up. I think the same should happen to cops.

I’m not talking about the actions that can be debated, I’m talking about the ones where a fool did something egregious like tase a teacher for not obeying unnecessary instructions.

He has a patreon now but still no ads:

Just a guy in the woods building shit from nothing, without tools. It kicked off a lot of similar channels that were obviously using tools.

Establish dominance by watching your porn with the door open.

Have loud conversations on speaker.

You can’t win this fight until you move out. Until then just make it in their best interest to not be a shitty parent.

TLDs are a scam.

Did you sleep through the search engine wars? Not a single search engine was good. There were sites dedicated to sending your search to all of the search engines at once.

Google showed up and it was game over. Their ad sales took off, and then they came out with gmail with 1gb of free storage and everyone went nuts for it since trying to stay under 15mb for your local isp was a pain in the ass.

Google disrupted very hard and continued to do so in many ways for a long time.

They could relive major streets and create dedicated bus lanes.

They could prioritize the surface train stoplights.

They could create protected bike and scooter lanes.

Or they could blame the residents for trying to get around town.

They literally couldn’t pay the devs. Netflix for instance flat out refused to have blackberry pay for 2 full time devs to maintain an app.

Netflix looked at the market share and determined that there was 0 benefit. The people that were on blackberry devices already had a Netflix account.

Additionally Blackberry store apps were compelling for devs. Dev feedback included ease of development and more importantly they made a lot more money on the blackberry store than on iOS/android, both because the cut was better and they could jack the prices up because the customers were not nearly as frugal.

To get into mobile would require a massive overhaul of windows apps to get them mobile-friendly

Oh look, that’s exactly what they did and now we have PWAs for lots of apps. Maybe MS is getting ready to take a stab at mobile again.

Who is the asshole that asked for this?

It’s possible they are both awful, but individually yes this report is rough to read.

Federation. Your email address could either be local creds, or federated with google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, etc.

When you submit your email address, it determines how you will be authenticating when you submit it.

In one hand, voluntary unemployment funded by taxes seems unfair.

On the other, fuck the man. The wealth imbalance needs to be fixed and this is a step in the correct direction.

Throw stuff out. Hot sauce from 2 years ago? Toss. Condiment packs from last week that you will never use? That can of hard kombucha your friend left behind?

Toss it all out. It does not good taking up space if you’re never going to use it.

Why is science trying to make gym-bro mice?

I don’t understand the issue. EV buses have existed for decades. EV buses that run two routes a day and are parked the rest of the time sound like a perfect option for EV. Combustion of any sort results in pollution.

Big propane can eat their own accessories for all I care.

Librarians are an odd trifecta of determinism, inclusion, and crazy. I don’t envy those on the wrong side of their wrath.

The hate for Edge here is excessive.

Word pad is a rich text editor.

We tried this already. California City is like the 3rd largest city in California. Planned cities mostly suck.

I’m convinced Ok,Go is a music video band that made music to go with their videos.

A small construction excavator. I hate having to move dirt and gravel around with a shovel by hand.

A trailer. Would also come in useful for the aforementioned item.

No. I don’t know or care where they live. I will provide parking.

You’d want a Lenovo think pad or dell. They are enterprise-grade, with enterprise support and enterprise software.

The legal industry is almost 100% Lenovo/dell/hp. All legal software runs on them, and the legal it industry collaborates on issues,testing.

Lenovo and dell can spec an enterprise laptop that would be just as good if not better than what’s on that desk.

This screams “buy me the most expensive laptop you can” but they were talking to their nephew who “knows computers”

What a clown show.

Sneezing was a symptom of plague.

Translated “we forgot to QA against that gpu.”

Isn’t most (non-environmental) road damage done by commercial trucks?

Maybe paying for roads by taxing fuel was always going to be a losing battle since mpg requirements have been trending upwards for decades.

I get it. MS has a “free” rich text editor, it’s Word online. You can easily install any other simple rich text editor (is abiword still a thing?) on Windows. Wordpad probably has minimal usage.

Anything that decodes webp images is vulnerable to an attack. Unless the vendor of the app says they patched it, assume they have not.

Browsers are obvious, but lots of other things decodes images. Your text messaging app, atm machines, vehicle infotainment, the ticket swipe at the airport. Anything designed to capture, process, or display anything is suspect, along with the underlying os of anything.

I can’t prove it yet but I bet TikTok is somehow causing this.

I think it’s good if you have a strong immune system response to the vax. It means your immune system will be charged up with antibodies.

I always plan to take 1-2 days off after getting vaccinated.

0 that I can find. Maybe 5-10 that are lost in the void.

Hate to be that person, but usually you leave the alternator loose before putting the belt on. Or force it on by sliding it with a screwdriver. I don’t know your particular car so I could be wrong.

I was in either a bad fancy hotel or an upscale motel last week. Valet parking only, $40/day.

My room had an excellent view of the parking lot which was outside and ground floor. It also wasn’t very full.

But since it was valet only, there were workers there 24x7. It was an odd money grab.

I got to point out that ipv4 addresses are a serious supply/demand issue. I’m so fucking glad that they cost real $$$ just because I hate dealing with NAT and ipv6 will fix a lot of that, immediately.

There’s a really fucking bizarre Alice in wonderland that shouldn’t be missed.

Yikes.

I liked being disappointed with a few episodes only to realize they are far better than most anything else out there.

Rewatched it recently and other than pagers and pay phones no longer existing it’s still great.

Who’s complaining on Reddit?

I’m more concerned that a judge didn’t have a clerk do this. Judges should be half-decent at delegating tasks.
