  So I know whether to waste my time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know what I have⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  “Devitio”

  Have you seen the books?

  I know someone in a place like this, and to love there they essentially sell any property they have to buy their space.

  It’s not cheap, but these places also provide on-site medical facilities with trained staff so someone 65 having a stroke has a decent chance of being OK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  62 is first year of social security eligibility.

  So you have nothing to hide, eh?

  Read more here.

  These tvs, like smartphones, track lots of stuff. And the databases they feed make all sorts of inferences.

  They even scan what you’re watching from other sources and can determine what show it is, and report that info too.

  They know when you’re home and leave, to some extent.

  I’ve read of patents for wifi tech in tvs that will connect to other TVs of the same brand for a connection of you don’t set one up.

  They definitely use their own DNS, and probably have some hard coded IPs so you can’t block them phoning home via DNS (I’ve tested this myself). I can see this traffic even when I setup DNS blocks - they still hit the vendor’s service IPs (looking at you, Samsung).

  These companies are openly antagonistic and adversarial to us, and you “have nothing to hide”?

  Another hero we didn’t know we needed.

  Have my grateful uovote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, from what I’ve read attractive folks hold our attention better, and attractive women do more so, for both men and women.

  Something in the way we’re wired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's PC works⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think he’s talking about with ARM-based systems things tend to be more monolithic.

  I don’t know that this is true, I haven’t read enough about them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad Shabbos (2024, dir Daniel Robbins)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds terribly mundane and over-used trope, then “accidental manslaughter”. Hahahaha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Having worked in restaurants for years and been to multiple health and safety classes in multiple states, I call bullshit.

  Washing chicken spreads bacteria all over everything wherever it’s done: the walls, floor, ceiling. Do you sanitize the ceiling after you do this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve not met a single “boomer” that does this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know not a single American that does this.

  I’ve only heard of it from elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t like Gordon, but I’m full on with him in this case. It deserves his “Fucking hell!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  (cough cough) Note their name - “gullible”

  They got me too until I read their next comment. Haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, there was a short series a few years ago with a cute blonde (hey, she gets guys to watch).

  She visited a lab and demonstrated very clearly why washing chicken is a bad idea.

  And how much difference soap makes when washing your hands, especially after handling something like chicken.

  She also covered a bunch of chemical uage from the Victorian era.

  Wish I could remember the show name for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was a time when everyone had common sense⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d be surprised how hard it is to find manuals these days.

  Manufacturers have taken to:

  1. Not printing them at all

  2. Hiding them behind paywalls with exorbitant prices

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was a time when everyone had common sense⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never met an engine that doesn’t need valve adjustments, even with hydraulic lifters.

  Now the adjustment period is far longer today, like in the 100k miles range.

  Just be glad you rarely see shim/bucket adjustment these days. Boy was that a bitch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly

  But I’m not the one coming on here telling everyone weed eases pain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Weed sucks for pain.

  Opiates are the only thing I’ve found that makes by difference at all.

  Not everyone is you.
