Primer. Time travel paradoxes. Two guys accidentally build a time machine and their tests of it cause chaos in their lives.

Maybe shutdown just 1 shitty AI company and we can all run AC for a decade.

I 100% believe this. The video streamers are getting too greedy and pushing out too much subpar content. When it was affordable and easy to find what you want streaming was great. Now it's expensive and stuff in on 12 different platforms.

Also most of what I watch is older so everyone on the creative and production side has been paid the only ones making money at this point are the studio fat cats.

I used to sail the seas with great passion about 10-15 years ago. Then music, and video streaming came along and was fairly priced and I happily became a landlubber. Over the past year I've begun sailing again because all the services want a slice of a pie that's just not that big. Sailing is better than it ever was. The boats are much larger, faster and even look and sound better.

Being mayor of a small town doesn't buy you much with the police. The mayor of a small town near where I grew up got swatted by police after someone sent weed to his address that the police were following. The mayor had nothing to do with the weed they just happened to pick his house. The cops didn't even check who lived at the address and shot the family's two golden retrievers.

36 year old and still sleep with stuffed animals. I've had them for 30 years and just honestly sleep better with them than a pillow. They are a stuffed wolf named timber and a stuffed dog named woofles.

I think only the real dog judges me, but that's cause she's a jealous bitch.

This is a red flag. It means he listens exclusively to Nickelback and Creed.

The most ridiculous part about this is he stated the first shot was a warning shot in attempts to "start a dialog."

I don't like Teslas, Musk or the cyber truck but it can't be any more dangerous than the 4 ft wall of radiator traditional pickups have now. Not saying this isn't a concern but I am way more concerned about the millions of pedestrian crushing rolling walls already on the road.

I've been to conferences where the name tag has a place for pronouns but most people don't fill them out. 99% of the time it's safe to assume the pronouns you believe are correct, are correct. If you get told otherwise use the preferred pronouns in the future. If someone freaks out over it after one mistake that's their problem.

You can also get around pronouns by just using names. I find i rarely need to use pronouns.

New intern at work was talking about smashing 2 cars while speeding just weeks apart. Then starts talking about wanting to get a motorcycle. Kid isn't going to make it to 25.

Fruity lager.

My friends and I used to be Four Loko fans back when it had energy drink mixed in. When that got taken off the market we replicated the feeling by drinking a 5 hour energy and a forty.

Well one day my friend decides to pour his 5 hour energy into his forty despite our protests. He takes a big gulp and smacks his lips and says it tastes like a fruity lager.

One by one we all pour our 5 hour energies into our forties and smack our lips and say it tastes like a fruity lager. Finally the last guy does it and takes a sip and immediately spits it out saying it tastes like ass.

We all crack up because we all got tricked and couldn't let the other guys not drink this nasty swill so everyone played it cool until we were all in it together.

We still text each other Fruity Lager and crack up over a decade later.

Prices are always lower in the winter. It'll be back to $4.00 in the summer.

They really pissed me off with their Terry Prachet bundle a few months ago. Only in the small text did it state the books had kobo DRM. I've been buying bundles for a decade and never had to worry about DRM before so I didn't even think to look for it.

Download unciv. It's a civilization 5 clone with stripped down graphics but gameplay remains the same. You can kill an eternity with civilization games.

I've only seriously lowballed scalpers who buy niche new records and try and flip them. I will pay you the cost of the record and shipping and throw in 5 bucks but that's it. I will not pay triple.

Mexico mode is only available once a year on May Fifth. It then disappears until next the next year.

In high school I worked in a call center doing telemarket research. They would monitor phone calls and your typing and grade you on if you entered stuff verbatim. I'd get in trouble a lot for using contractions when the person didn't and small stuff like that. I'm sure there was some reason for needing to be precise but it was never explained. Oh well. I put up with it because it paid well 15 bucks an hour when minimum wage was 6 something and hours were 6 to 10 so people could work it as a second job.

Anyway it was senior year and I had a lot going on. Internship from 6am to 10am. School from 11am to 3pm then work 6pm to 10pm. Well I ended up getting some really nasty flu or something in February and my internship gave me the week I was sick off and the week after since we worked with primates and I may have been contagious. Work didn't believe me but I literally had no voice and could only whisper, no way was I talking on the phone for 4 hours a night. But I begged and pleaded and they let me come back a few weeks later.

Well a week or two after getting better my grandfather ended up passing away. I just needed my Friday and Saturday shifts off at work and internship to drive up for the funeral. My internship gave me the week off anyways. The bosses at work called me in and told me they didn't believe me thought I'd been lying about everything the past few months and told me to shape up or ship out. I chose to ship out.

They ended up calling me a week later and asking me to come but I'd had enough.

I think it's okay to let this one go doesn't seem like there is any value in his work.

I do think it's time to open up the rights to older IPs and let the community make their own stories within universes though. I loved all the star wars EU stuff as a kid.

Ew I missed that. Someone is not following the factory recommend hourly full chassis wipedowns.

I think you're missing the point of these shows and that's okay.

The characters aren't role models, they are your intrusive thoughts manifest. If you didn't hear someone's name when they told you, any rational person would just say it was loud and they didn't hear you. They wouldnt go through lengths of introducing friends, finding out childhood taunts and rifling through your belongings in an attempt to save face.

The joke is in the breaking of social norms. A show about people being polite to each other doesn't make for very good comedy.

It's people saying shit like this that is part of the problem. While the left is generally much more accepting than the right our community needs to be better about accepting people who don't share all our beliefs. Maybe that way when they start to become more progressive and can help bring other people over that have some fledgling left wing values in them.

How's the winner determined? Volume, velocity, viscosity?

It just bans the flag on government property along with religious flags and breast cancer awareness flags. Sounds like they just don't want to make any left or right statements which makes sense. Local government should focus primarily on keeping things rolling smoothly over left/right politics which tend to be more state/national issues.

As far as I can tell you can fly whatever flag you want off your house/apt/car.

I had a 92 Taurus that made a loud crack when I turned left. Mechanic said engine was about to fall out. Left it parked in front of my house and a cement mixer backed into it and crumpled the front end. Got about 2000 bucks out of a car we were going to scrap.

I'm doing great thanks for asking. You seem kinda angry. Putting down the Internet for the night might be a good idea.

Wouldn't let it touch my system. Try Endeavor if you want to hop to an arch based distro.

Anyone else really want some fried rice?

How ever did you manage to crack the code? You must be very smart to have figured out educate means indoctrinate. Now the CIA is gonna hunt you down to prevent the information from spreading.

I think the RIAA has a different view on that. Huge push backs against recordable cassettes and VHS tapes when they were introduced.

I'm mostly surprised the NYT is the one publishing this. It's read more like a capitalist shill rag trying to play both sides for at least a decade. Never taking the shots it needed to at the right even when there were facts to do so and not editorials/opinions.

I bought one for my car when Android phones started removing the headphone jack and SD cards. When I got a new car in 2021 it no longer had an aux port. I could still connect the mp3 player with Bluetooth but that was fiddly. The car has a decent ui for playing music off USB stick which is mainly what I do these days.

I still sometimes use the mp3 player because it sounds better and I have a lot of wired headphones but I no longer daily it.

I went to training with coworkers from another site. They were raving about some "documentary" that said the government had alien technology. They kept trying to get me to watch it all week but I just kept saying I forgot.

In reality I watched about 10 minutes and it just set up these alternative history hypothese then reenacted them. It was moronic so I just steered the convo to football or whatever to get them to shutup.

I don't use it wrong because I don't use it but to me "mirth" feels like it has a negative connotation even though I know it means joyful.

Ubuntu - Loved it in 2006-2012ish but I jumped ship when Amazon appeared in search. Great place to start my Linux journey at the time.

Manjaro - Only distro to ever break entirely on me. I didn't care enough to try and figure out why.

Tried endeavor and stock arch but they weren't my cup of tea. No real issues with them though.

Fedora - I liked for a few years but abandoned after the RHEL drama this summer. Seems to be going the way of Ubuntu. Maybe that's just my opinion.

I use and like Solus a lot but they didn't update anything for 2 years until this summer. I use it on my gaming PC and an old laptop for web browsing but nothing important. It's always been solid for me, I just worry about it going extinct. They do have an updated road map and seem re-energized though. I also think it's a good beginner distro because you don't have to dive into terminal much, and a good distro if you are a pro, but kind of bad if you are an intermediate user because there aren't a ton of resources on it that bigger distros have.

I mostly use Debian these days. Stable on my server. Testing on everything else. I don't see me abandoning it anytime soon.

Move in with my friend in the Netherlands. He's wanted me to move even if Biden wins.

Hotdog or not hotdog?

Microchip Fabrication by van Zant. Specifically chapters 8 and 10 discussing photolithography. Might be different chapters in current version.

Black bears are less likely to attack humans (some are brown colored though). Brown bears are grizzlies.
