Last night, my wife and I ordered Chinese for Valentine’s Day. Cost $100. Tried to tip the delivery guy a $20, and he turned it down lol. He then gave my cat a temptations treat, out of a freshly opened bag he had in his pocket. Dude was amazing!

I put some gel drops on my eyes, and could have sworn it was the Orcs Must Die logo

Matters little, word order does.

Normally I’d agree, but the glass just gets real cold when it’s -40 outside. Condensation freezes on it.

I still get frost on the inside of my double paned windows up here in the great white north. No joke, windows are engineered to hell here

Right? To be fair, they used some of the nicest portables I’ve ever seen. Two portables to a class, windows, a semi permanent foundation, plumbing, HVAC hookup, networking, the works. I had to install WAPs in the drop tile, and it was not the worst thing I’ve had to do there.

In our town, one of the schools was just built 5 years ago. They built it without classrooms. Not a single one. They had a gym, common areas, admin offices, IT infrastructure (office with a server room became the councillors office and the IT guy needs to ask permission to use it lol), bathrooms and library. They designed it so it could be made entirely with portables. From the onset.

My guy, can you point out the part that is not appropriate? Is it the hearts? I’m genuinely confused.

Everyone seems to need instant gratification in every aspect of life. No one seems capable of thinking for more than 25 seconds into the future. The pervasive culture of “Fuck you, got mine”, and the rat race to the almighty dollar. I don’t get it, it’s sad, and it’s the driving force behind not wanting children. The world sucks, and I want to reduce suffering.

That’s likely the case, but the clock application is very much something I would not only expect to come with the operating system, but would consider it a solved problem in the first place. I should not need to look for a FOSS clock. It should be standard feature everywhere, and just work. I could have whipped out a passible clock app second year of university.

It’s catch and release, not life long milking. Granted, the survival rate isn’t as high as I’d like (70-90% apparently), but I do also appreciate having safe injectable medicines. All things considered, with a species bias, I’d prefer dozens of humans live at the expense of a… Not crab. Unfortunate though it may be. I can’t also help but notice you’ve anthropomorphised them a bit. I’m certain these creatures respond to negative stimulus, but attributing fear and life long trauma seems to be giving their intelligence a bit of an unfounded boost.

And some fucks in Alberta want the US system because “I never get sick! My taxes are paying for someone else to be sick!”

Ancient torture/execution method. Tie you to a boat (or trap you between two boats) and stuff you full of milk and honey, then pour some on you for good measure. The idea is that there are many biting insects and unpleasant things that will be attracted to the milk and honey. Being tied/trapped means your hands aren’t free to deal with them. Secondly, a large amount of milk and honey is a really good way to get diarrhea. So eventually, you’ll have to deal with that, and biting insects are more likely to swarm around you if you’re covered in literal shit. The victims usually die from exposure, but they will have an exceedingly unpleasant time before they expire. Very common to have… Soft tissue areas… Completely consumed before death.

No excuse for bland potatoes. Even boiled, they can taste good. Low effort, throw some dill on those bastards. It’s that easy. My mom is diabetic, and down a kidney, so salt and sugar are not really things in the food she makes, but it always tastes good.

It’s worth noting that facts are objective truths. Facts cannot contradict each other, as that would imply that a fact is false, which is impossible. A murder trial will supply facts collected by investigation, and extrapolate an opinion based on those facts. The knife is bloodied and has the defendants finger prints on it. That is a fact. It was observed to be true, and is itself irrefutable. The defendant likely used the knife to stab the victim. That is an opinion. A reasonable opinion to have, based on the factual evidence, but it might not be true. It’s possible the defendant picked up the knife after it was used, and is otherwise totally innocent.

Oh man, my wife bought a 2023 Rogue, and the seatbelt notification goes off for all three back seats, even if no one is back there! And you can’t turn it off! The dealership recommended just buckling all the back seats by default. It is, by a pretty wide margin, the most irritating thing about that machine. I understand the frustration. I guess I’m more diligent about the front seat buckles, because I’ve never even seen the front seat buckle light.

I’m from an era where jailbreaking and installing whatever you’d like on a device was the wild west, and have seen nasty stuff accidentally sideloaded. Giving people the option to infect their cars with ransomware could get people killed, so not opening that can of worms isn’t the worst idea necessarily. That said, FOSS stuff is usually fine, but I highly doubt it would be a fully encompassed ecosystem that you’d be installing. It’ll have add-ons, other smaller projects. Tweaks. That’s where you’ll get into trouble.

But… you should really wear a seatbelt. Actually, haven’t cars been giving users seatbelt alarms for like… over 30 years now? It’s a strange hill to die on, friend.

Yes, absolutely. I do not, however, like the idea of “Pay us $1M or we disable your brakes on the highway” kind of ransomware attacks.
