I have to because clients send me Word and Excel docs. For most of my own notes I frankly just make a plain text doc and write it in VS Code or use Notion for stuff I need to access from other devices. For spreadsheets, I usually use Google now. I haven’t written anything in Word since 2010.
He also wants to remove the regulations made to protect the people working those coal mines.
🤣 For real. Who needs armor when just turning left or right is going to clothesline your enemies.
Liberals even do AI slop better.
When I don’t know what to read next, I pull up the Wikipedia list of authors the Nazis banned. They did manage to make a very good reading list.
This is the power of priming. You expected banana bread and your brain made just enough banana bread to meet that expectation. 😆
Omfg that’s hilarious
That’s insane. I just paid $90 for 544kWh in Texas, so the AC was definitely running. I bounce usually between 78 and 80 degrees; down to 75 if active.
Nah, I’m taking this over. Thanks for the surprise!
Oh are they caps that go over the originals?
Very nice case. Much better feeling controller than the Elite Controller 2. Hopefully the bumpers won’t stop working in a month and the grips won’t try to flee in two years. *coughElitecough*. But I’ve been very happy with Roccat and now Turtle Beach stuff. Maybe I can actually finish DS3 now.
No, but it was major one that affected my childhood; started bomb drills for my schools and training for the local police force.
Well that came a month earlier than expected.
… or Mussolini.
Or perhaps suffer a massive heart attack. You know, to be a little more optimistic.
Sometimes they just shoot themselves and are set on fire though.
Of course it won’t be the last because they never fucking do anything about it. Background checks is overwhelming supported by civilians on all political sides and even licensing or class requirements is highly supported. But it’s 26 YEARS since Columbine and fuck all has happened.
I agree that ~2016 was the really noticeable turning point for FB on the social side. On top of that, more recently, the inundation of ads and even more recently, the absolute AI slop taking over like some kind of digital fungus.
I keep my account because one close friend uses Messenger as his primary contact (but honestly he has a smartphone and it wouldn’t be catastrophic).
This came after reading about an absurd amount of bots that Meta shut down last year and the realization that the majority of people on the platform were likely not people. That I was probably talking/arguing with proverbial walls and wasting my time. I’d been on FB since it was only for colleges.
I left a few months ago when I reset my ancient iPhone Xs to try to resolve some issues with it. Decided not to reinstall it on my phone to force me to have to use one of my computers to use it, knowing that despite being on them constantly, I would be far more likely to be doing anything else…
It’s not required (still) in the US. But if you get a lot of EU traffic, you might want to just add something somewhere saying the site doesn’t use cookies.
As a display piece, sure. But those thumbsticks do not look comfortable to actually use. I could be wrong. 🤷♀️ Does make me want to go dig out my SP and play me some first gen Kirby tho. 👀
Rare gathering of Axis leaders for tiny Willy contest
Remember when all we had to worry about were tires exploding, emissions fuckery, and floor mats?
Good lawd that’s some active yeasties.
Embrace the northeastern way of life. Let all your fucks free!
It’s Bluesky. You can just say shitshow.
The still look ridiculous though.
Lol “small government”.
It’s also a lack of Steve Jobs. He may have been a bit of a dick, but he was motivated by innovation and perfection far more than money.
And, “Excuse me while I force my mistress to have an abortion.”
Yes. They did a buyback.
I haven’t even seen it yet. I’ve never eaten there, have no desire to, and just don’t care enough to Google it. I couldn’t even describe the old one if there were a gun to my head. I thought it was a specialty container store for the first 20 years of my life. 😆
You’re not wrong. Having been in the business for 15 years, I’m also not too arrogant to look back at my own work and say, “WTF.” Also I will say it’s often not up to the designer. Sometimes clients are so bad that they demand shitty work.
There’s on in my area that is painted… purple. It’s a purple dumpster on wheels. I didn’t think it could get worse, but they managed it.
“I’m not angry. Just disappointed.”
Looks like it’s following this administration’s knowledge of human anatomy.
Wasn’t referring to you.
I wouldn’t either. I’d be like, “Come on bud, we’re getting the kayak. We’ll get out or die trying.”
Typical fascist. Hypocritical and cowardly to the core. Starts off by dehumanizing then attempts to suppress speech when called out for it.
He hates being called just Donald. Just sayin’.
Furthermore they have to return to their yeerk pools to “recharge”. Why else do you think he would swim in sewage? Hmmm?! He’s trying to make us all weak so we can be enslaved with brain slugs. (Am I doing conspiracy theory right?)
I mean I think okra is a snot plant and is one of the few things I would prefer never to eat again, far beyond any insect. But I don’t think that warrants making fun of someone for liking it. I believe in trying things a few times in a few different ways before passing final judgment for oneself.
I find the same. I also have a Sonos setup with a soundbar and two rear speakers. Older movies that were mixed for surround sound great (like LoTR). Newer stuff is hit or miss. Frankly it’s the same with headphones. Occasionally I’ll watch something on my PC. I use Sony WH-somethings. Bluetooth.
I’m convinced RFK is a yeerk.
That’s pretty damn close to my daily consumption.
🤫 This wisdom is too powerful to be spread.
Lol “honesty”
Nailed it.
It being the New Testament, assuming that’s what’s meant by “the Bible” (as it usually is).
It’s worse actually. It was written well after the likes of people like Plato and Aristotle and around the time of Marcus Aurelius. It was backwards even its own time.
For real though. 😂😩
Moar veins.
Make sure to use inversion canning methods too. Because that’s how your great grandma did it and ignoring warnings by jar manufacturers is best.
Honestly both are believable.
I’m here for it. The silliness and improv acting is a large part of what makes D&D D&D. When people take it way too seriously is when it becomes unfun. We used to play a couple times a week in college and would theme it on silly international holidays like No Pants Day and Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Why the nipples tho? What the hell was wrong with the regular thumbsticks? What is this monstrosity?
I’m in the middle of a move and already starting a container garden on the balcony. 😆 I have a small Aerogarden that covers my lettuce consumption. Considering a Gardyn for winter veg supplement. But I’m in TX and I might be able to get away with cold crops all winter and bringing stuff inside.
Why wouldn’t you? They opened dual citizenship a few years ago.
That would be ideal.
I went to college in Worcester, MA. There was a large turbine not far from campus. That fucker went all year ‘round no problem. I moved to Texas in 2019… Was amusing, to say the least, to hear folks try to blame the 2021 freeze on wind farms (which despite not using correct lubes were not failing).
It’s like that where I am in rural Texas (for the next 16 hours at least; I’m moving back to partial civilization). Baptist churches.
Or use some of their land for community gardening.
I don’t see the point in this besides flaunting ignorance. Foreign manufacturers are moving on with or without the US. They’re not going to make completely different cars just for our market because of this change. It would just be more expensive for them. Inefficient.
I agree. I see a post of a slice of pizza or something and inevitably there is “that guy”. As if this person couldn’t have possibly had a salad for lunch. This one slice of pizza is representative of the OP’s entire life. And they’re going to die of heart disease. The extrapolation can be intense.
My stepdad and I had dinner at his house about a year ago. Neither of us were big on dessert, but we kind of got used to it from his partner (who was out of town). So we slapped together a plate of sliced apple and cheddar. Things I wish I knew 20 years ago.
Honestly it’s so bad that it’s offensive to all the fake videos that came out pre-AI. At least then they provided some fun in trying to figure out how it was done. There was some real creativity and talent put into some of them.
AI.
Having grown up in southern Maine, I’ve seen some shit. While we occasionally want to punch them, most Mainers have a reverence for them for everything from their ingenuity (and general ballsiness) to folktales. Aside from it being a federal offense, killing one is considered very taboo.
I’m an elder millennial. None of my friends were disowned, even those who had very religious parents (I will not say that it was easy though and those few friends had a net in place from other parents offering to take them in). Crazy that we’re still worried about this in 2025.
A lot of work is going on with a number of breeds, which is great. Another one is the German Shepherd in Germany is being bred to new standards to address hip dysplasia.
Some people just don’t like certain foods. If you’ve tried different cereals and methods of cooking them and they still don’t like it, so be it. You did your part in exposing them to different things. If they like grains in other foods like bread and pasta, I don’t see a problem.
I didn’t really like steak as a kid. Or Brussels sprouts. I’m now in my mid-30s and I still don’t like steak. But I love Brussels sprouts. Turns out I just don’t like beef (but I can cook a great steak). And boiling is not the way to go with Brussels sprouts.
Was going to say this. They keep treating the symptoms, not the disease.
Just because it’s not about the U.S., doesn’t make it a distraction. Believe it or not, other nations exist and other things happen around the world and some of us like to know about it. And it’s vive la révolution.
If it really was from a handshake, it was definitely not a friendly one.
My old guy who passed away last year was like that, down to the electrical charger noises. 😆 I will carry him forever in my heart. And on my body in the form of scars.
They look like me in the morning when I check the news before my coffee.
I’ve never not had cats and my current cat is one of two cats I’ve ever known to not bunny kick. He takes belly rubs like a dog. He’s a fricken weirdo. The other cat was his mom. They were both barn cats, so it’s not like they had excessive human socialization either.
“Is your camp built in the middle of a dry river bed?” can be a good place to start.
I think it really varies person-to-person. I shop very healthily and can easily follow “intuitive” eating (it’s frankly just my default). It’s what I usually crave. But if I’m at your house and you put cake in front of me, I will absolutely eat it. Because I’m also an opportunistic scavenger. 😆
^___ This. Forgiveness is a two way road.
The most recent was even funnier. Again, we were talking when she got a Facetime from her youngest son. He said he had a gift for her but couldn’t send it in time for Mother’s Day. I looked at her and said, “She’s pregnant.” He opened the gift and it was a baby onesie. 🤣
Not thirty minutes after my stepdad’s partner was telling me that she is not ready to be a grandmother and is glad her kids have no children, she got a call from her eldest… It’s been two years since that day and all three of her kids have a kid.
Lost my mom and stepdad to cancer. As well as a good friend.
Honestly I’m now glad that life got in the way of me applying to the FBI academy after college. By the time I was ready it was 2016 and I held off for orange tinted reasons. Life happened again and this is the last year I’m eligible and I’m just going to let that dream slip away and die.
Chili dogs is where it’s at.
For me, it’s a “fuck you” to select people. Others might get a, “I told you so,” but more often it’s a, “Remember when we were talking about ____ and I said: _______ …”. And with my best friend it’s most often a, “Well… that’s a bit sooner than we thought.”
Finally some good news.
Yeah remember all those times you had to select what ethnicity you are on government paperwork? What could possibly go wrong with this?
Pro life my ass. This will result in more homeless kids.
Gen Alpha is the generation behind Gen Z. Those currently being born are generation Beta. Which begs the question of why we started the alphabet generations with X to begin with. 😆
The 90s are so long ago now that gen Alpha is referring to them as the 1900s, not just the 90s. 😆
And I agreed with you. So why the aggression if it’s not simply misdirected as a result of having a bad day?
Are you having a bad day?
Yes, but sodium is by far the most important electrolyte to replenish when dehydrated and is the one that most commonly leads to the aforementioned “water poisoning”. That’s why it’s in Dasani.
If you’re dehydrated, you need to take in sodium with water. If you don’t, you can actually get what is colloquially known as “water poisoning”. Otherwise, there’s just no reason for it.
But he’s not a Nazi, he’s just autistic. M’kay. Riiight.
I have never owned an American make. First car was a Subaru. Second a Hyundai. Third is a now 10 year old VW GTI. With still less than 40k, zero rust, and title in hand, I’m happy to cling to it another decade.
