What is amazing is that people would rather live like this, and have four feet of grass between them and their neighbors, than in a place twice as big with a shared wall...

My move lately has been to stand their windshield wipers up. You're not doing anything criminally damaging to their vehicle, but in my experience, anyone this self-important will be really bothered by the thought of some random person putting their dirty hands on their precious baby.

Me: "Maybe next year's zenphone will finally check all of my boxes and I can break free from the giant phone universe."

ASUS: "Hold my beer."

My man might be wearing the ol rose-colored glasses when it comes to the Limewire "heyday" of piracy.

I remember many times accidentally infecting my computer with a virus through that thing. That repair process was a HUGE pain in the ass.

I was stoned one night looking for concert footage and instead I got a video of a woman getting her head blown off at close range. That shit FUCKED. ME. UP. for a hot minute.

Todays situation is better in my opinion.

Lol they're trying to sell me shares at "pre-ipo prices".

I asked if they have any puts available... So far no reply...

I've never understood the "slim" thing console makers have been doing.

"Behold! Our latest game system!"

six months later

"Behold! The system we should have made in the first place!"

You might be underestimating the supreme court's pension for changing their opinion once it suits them politically.

I can understand why so many programmers suffer from imposter syndrome.

I know more about SSH than anyone I know, but I still read articles like this and think, "SOCKS proxy. Huh. I don't actually know what either of those words mean."

Before anyone jumps in to educate me on what SOCKS is (please do though!), my point is that through my entire career in tech, I've always read articles and had to skim over terms and acronyms that I didn't know, unless I wanted to fall into a ten-hour rabbit hole of learning, where I ultimately feel totally overwhelmed and not sure I'm actually smarter than when I woke up this morning.

Seems like an interesting article, but for me to fully grasp it, I'd need to read like six other articles, which I can't do during my morning coffee/mindless scroll time.

I've taken the approach of learning through osmosis. I'll regularly read articles that I don't fully understand, assuming that I'll eventually gain a better understanding of whatever topic I'm reading about over time.

The left: clearly and succinctly points out another example of Republican hypocrisy.

The right: "LOLZ the left can't meme."

She stole 12.5 billion dollars?!

Jesus Christ. How much is enough?

Never heard of the Jelly Star! $200 bucks?! I just ordered one.

I caught the one in '17 and it was definitely a top 5 moment in my life.

I went 90 days a few years ago.

Really didn't notice anything different about myself.

I haven't been a huge Google fan lately, but I can say that mobile hotspot is included in my Google Fi plan.

Yeah that's what I've done. I've gotten very picky about which apps I allow to notify me of things. A week or two of turning off all the ones you don't want and your phone gets quiet real quick.

No love for DNS66? Are there better ways to block ads now?

I disagree, but I uovoted you anyway. ;-)

IMHO, the studio version of "More Than A Feeling" by Boston is an absolute masterpiece.

Sounds like it's time for me to actually log back in and delete all my old posts. I've been putting that off for too long.

In my hand, currently.

I bought factorio like two years ago and haven't brought myself to start playing it because I know what will happen.

I just can't spare to put off everything on my to-do list for the next 2-6 months while I fall completely into the rabbit hole.

I learned my lesson with Kerbal Space Program.

I see what you're saying, but we're not talking about requesting a paid personal day. We're talking about having you're shift covered by another person, and having that denied because management doesn't like the reason you want the shift covered.

I felt like trying to say Clinton's impeachment was the R's not accepting the legitimacy of his election was a stretch also. Seems OP is trying to make the facts fit his point.

I wonder if there are any third-party os's that can do better on a jail broken android?

Bro remember the top-down GTA games?! Those were legit.

It drives me crazy when singers mispronounce simple words to "stand out".

"I want you to be happier" becomes "I want you tewe be hoppiahhhh"

It's making me feel really old that people on here are "discovering" Last Dance with Mary Jane.

That said, good on you for expanding your palette beyond whatever you normally listen to. There's a lot of great stuff out there!

Finally, I'm inside my wife.

This is starting to sound a little too slavery-y...

Yep beware, any time a company you do business with sends you a letter saying something like,

"Good news! (Our old company name) is now (new company name)!"

You're about to get fucked.

I've been told I sound like Tracy Chapman.

...which would be a huge compliment, if I weren't a middle aged white male.

RoboRock FTW

Man there's something about talking on a cell phone that makes me feel like I have to yell, and thus, hate talking on them.

As I remember land lines, they never felt that way.

Right?! Who's idea was it to put red and deep red on opposite ends of the scale?

I just use mine to sand things. I guess I'm not very creative.

Seeing my new car to buy an older one and have no car payment. Feels like a step backwards.

Every time I play this song live, I do it with the "...fuck"

I agree.

What does "on the cards" even mean?

You'd think the trigger being backwards might have tipped him off that something wasn't right.

I was thinking about setting up a jellyfin server that could be publicly accessible from a domain I own. Something like jellyfin.neocamel.com, which would point to my jellyfin server on my home windows PC, but it sounds like that opens up some pretty serious security concerns.
