Turn off display enemy moves and it goes much faster.

Omg its 6am and I need to go to work
- Comment on How would I improve Wifi consistency within my house? 1 week ago:
I know you specified WiFi… But Ethernet over power lines works for me to the edges of my WiFi range. The adapters are pretty inexpensive and you don’t deal with WiFi congestion.
Just another option.
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 1 week ago:
This. I miss being in a band. Did this in high school and college. We played local clubs and bars. It was fun.
But as an adult, who can find 3other people willing to play at all, or even commit to a 1 hour get together to practice… Performing is probably never going to happen again.
- Comment on Why is Iran attacking Dubai and Kuwait? 1 week ago:
I hope Iran bombs the crap out of isreal. Let them suffer the same level of destruction that Palestinians have suffered at their hands.
- Comment on No you don't sit on it. In the olden days people used this to make orange juice 2 weeks ago:
Omg wtf
- Comment on ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota 5 weeks ago:
If I am boxed in by a car with no police lights with masked men jumping out and immediately pointing guns at me… Floor it. This is self defense because I have no way of knowing who is threatening my life. With guns drawn you can’t see POLICE on the vests either.
I would prefer that and deal with the aftermath after.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 1 month ago:
Youre optimistic about taking it to court when ice will kidnap you and deport you without ever seeing a lawyer or a judge.

i could fully undrstand 5k for such a handsome and good puppy

How many people use that as the MS bitlocker password…lol

Crom gives you everything you need at birth. Then he ignores your prayers.
Pray for a pot of gold while you are at it.

Metal is my religion.
And Judas is my Priest.
- Comment on Uhhh... It's a work phone 3 months ago:
In the police academy movie, its what the white asshole called the black lady who ran over his foot… which made hightower fucking pissed at him and flipped the car he was hiding in.
So its probably a bad slur.
- Comment on Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? 3 months ago:
If someone asks, “What would Jesus do?” Remember that flipping tables and whipping a bitch are viable options.
- Comment on I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog. 3 months ago:
The Heinz relish aint so bad… i use it and its ok. I miss the Coney Island deli we used to have here 20 years ago… its become a laundry now.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
According to yhe bible in revelation…its all thw word of God, and dont you dare change 1 word or youll get all the plagues and shit om you.

I use mustard on the bun first, like glue for the weiner. (2nd grade level giggle) Then i pile on the onions, relish, or whatever on top

Heres a secret. Men wrote thise rules also… not a burning, talking bush.

Crybabies. They have no problems when they do this.
- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 4 months ago:
I always say, get a dog. Youll walk every day, you play in the park or backyard. Plus dogs are just awesome companions and help with positive attitudes.
Its a commitment, but i couldnt imagine not having a dog with me. Humans and dogs belong together.

What about elenvensies?
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 4 months ago:
Not true if you are in a no fault state. In Florida, diesn matter who’s at fault…you go through your own insurance and bear the coat of increased premiums …even if its 100% other guts fault.
Had a car totalled. 2018 elantra. Ins gave me 8k, black book value… But a replacement could not be found for less than 17k for same model, blue book value+dealer profit shit.
Wtf.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 5 months ago:
Well, there technically may not be an eternity. Universe is 14 billion years old now…in 32 trillion years or so the last black holes and last particles will cease to exist. Time will no longer have any meaning, and the nothingness will be all there is.
What a shit hand we were dealt.
- Comment on Goebbels Ends Careers of Five 'Aryan' Actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime 5 months ago:
This should be top page and sent to every politician out there. If the parallels to Nazi Germany aren’t already obvious, maybe this would hit home.
- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 5 months ago:
Haven’t had a haircut since COVID. Now I just keep it long, I’ll cut off a few inches every few months.
Companies I work for ignore it because I’ve become a valuable greybeard, so I get away with stuff like that
- Comment on My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card 5 months ago:
Nope, I never let anything automatically withdraw money. Mistakes are made. And sure, you’ll get your money back from the accidental 10k that was pulled from your account…in 5 to 10 business days, until then you are broke and shit is bouncing.

My reaction was “no fucking way this is 1989”.
It’s amazing how much wasn’t taught to us in US shcools
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 7 months ago:
My company required everyone come back to the office. My team works in a terminal, we can do our work from anywhere. Everyone of my department went back in. I said no.
They said I could be terminated
I said go ahead and fire me, I’m the lead tech, 40 experience, I built and maintain more then half of the automation, I’m the only one who understands networking onprem and I cloud and has a security background.
I dare you.
They said they would make a special exemption for me.
The moral of the story… You can demand stuff from your company if your company can’t function without you.
- Comment on Everything is a problem 7 months ago:
Good call.
I took over for a previous manager who installed all smart lights controlled via Alexa. Every week…every fucking week…there would be a section not working, lights with disco colors, Alexa was offline so we could give the command to turn on lights…
When I took over, 1st task was to rip out all the smart shit and I put in regular LED bulbs controlled with the light switch. Works every time
- Comment on You'd need to calculate the compound interest 7 months ago:
You do know that interest earned is also taxed right? Letting it grow means you pay every year of how much it grew.
