He’s not our guy, buddy!
No I hate MS. I won’t ever forget the pain that was developing edge cases around Internet Explorer (fuck IE 6, that shit was the worst).
I didn’t realize it till now, but I think this is how I pictured all bathrooms in Iowa looked.
I figured that’s why presidential candidates always stumped there first: Everyone feels really sorry for them due to shit like this.
Fucking gyrenes, where’d all my crayons go?!

if you’re using the same password for everything since 91 there’s around a 0% chance that password hasn’t been leaked
Plot twist, they’ve never had their password leaked due to never having a password.
They spend every last waking moment trolling through public or university libraries to find computers that people haven’t logged out of, and are still logged into social media, dialup modems, irc, bbs, mainframes, etc. It’s these accounts they make posts from.
Pretty lonely world when you only ever get to make one comment on one account at max like once a week. And then you never get to check the replies. You never get to check your email either, you don’t know if anyone has sent you and e-card for your birthday.
Oh and not to speak of constantly getting kicked out of those libraries once the librarians recognize you. To the point where you have to move to yet another city to have any online time again.
But hey, they’ve never had their password leak at least!
unless you have nvidia. Fuck nvidia.

I had to squint at the “Quart Bags” one, and was really hoping it said “Queso Bags”.
As in, you had some legit purpose for needing to put Costco brand "Que Bueno’ nacho cheese into a ziploc bag on a regular enough occasion that it warranted 3d printing a dispenser for them.
I think I will ponder this for my nightly meditation as I fall asleep tonight.
Well not after midnight anyway… or was that eating?
Real world testing is a particularly difficult and pricey thing to do
I don’t often test, but when I do, it’s in prod.
no nation should ever give up their nukes
No nation within invasion distance of Russia, anyway.
That’s a feature. Statistically, comment quality is inversely proportional to it’s depth.
Don’t go deep diving!
(And this is /s if anyone’s wondering.)
For me it’s funeral potatoes, or half the desert dishes from various potlucks that would happen in the chapel gym.
Jokes on them though, all those recipes are posted online now! Don’t need a temple recommend for that shit lol.
That’s how mine are these days. I just noticed that my prescription expires after a year (the paper one), so if I’m tempted to get an updated pair of frames, it’s going to mean an eye exam for me.
They played some minesweeper for 10 minutes.

I’ve been using mine for 10+ years, maybe changing batteries once.
I currently use it with a NUC loaded with linux mint, and have the UI HD scaled (it’s an out-of-the box option).
The only native functionality of the actual smart tv that I use, is the power button.
Guess no one in that state has met Starla. Nobody thinks I’m a failure because I go home to her at night.
I got deployed to a spot where a company man came to help out with some logistics. We happened to be using some 50 gallon drums to help anchor down some comms equipment, which got us talking about the topic of 50 gallon drums.
The company man happened to also be a vietnam vet, and told me a story about some POWs that got captured there. The enemy was real keen on finding out how the americans were finding their ground compounds for aerial attacks.
These several POWs told the enemy that it was all of their diesel fuel 50 gallon drums that were lighting up on radar, and was giving away their position from dozens of miles away. They went on to tell the enemy that the only way to hide the drums from radar, was to bury them at least 3 feet below ground.
So there’s the enemy, digging 6+ foot trenches to hide their diesel drums in. Digging trenches like that in the jungle is difficult enough, but even more difficult is then unburying them one by one when the fuel is actually needed.
So the POWs pulled that whole radar + drums story out of their ass, but knew that if they were believed, it was going to be a huge hindrance for the enemy hiding/accessing the drums like that.
So I have to wonder: Do the russians believe that throwing tires on their aircraft hides them from radar, or otherwise some other overhead asset from detecting them? It seems like it would be hindrance to scramble those jets when needing to chuck a bunch of tires off it first. Would be hilarious if some type of planted misinformation is responsible for this practice.
The question still remains though: Does this shit actually work?
It’s not that we’re uninformed, it’s that we disagree.
