I was a sysadmin for decades and I can confirm this is pretty accurate.

There were coyotes that hunted the bznks of the large creek that ran behind my house. They would often chase prey into the neighborhood, but they would never pursue, they would figure out ways to go around. They also would hunt in packs during the winter and even then. they never came into neighborhoods or yards.

I had a huge elderberry tree in my backyard at my old place. There was always a murder of crows, some bluejays, and a couple of fat opossums that would get drunk off of them every year. The crows in particular would become very vocal when drunk. LOL

Yeah it seems native english speakers(mainly my fellow muricans) are baffled by the pronunciation of the french “r”.
It took me practicing it for a while to finally understand how to properly pronounce it, but I’m still ashamed to use it in public for fear of being mocked by both french and english speakers alike. LOL.

Yeah, I’d like to order a paint can of toilet wine please.

This pretty much sums up my view of contractors. I know enough about home improvement these days, after years of DIY, I could probably get a job as a subcontractor.

Well that couple mil is gonna be completely useless if we go into a depression or worse suffer a total economic collapse.
- Comment on Bees 1 year ago:
I have learned thru my years of gardening that wasps and hornets are a good thing to have around, not just bees. Not only do they help pollinate flowers, they are predators to some of the most annoying garden pests. I think I’ve counted at least 7 different wasp species in my garden this summer, they’ve done a great job keeping the larger pest populations manageable.

I quit my job as a sysadmin about 2 years ago and started turning my backyard into a massive garden. I’m currently trying to figure out places to sell large quantities of hot peppers and I’m about to start selling matted and framed photos of flowers and wildlife from my garden.
Fuck IT.

Man, I quit my IT job 2 years ago and I haven’t looked back. So glad I got out when I did.

Lets see some names. Who are these people?
- Comment on The Downfall of Amazon: Dangerous Products, Fake Reviews & Vanishing Brands - Louis Rossman 2 years ago:
Amazon seems to be following in the footsteps of TigerDirect and NewEgg. Both were amazing sites in the beginning, great deals, great customer service, and then they satarted allowing fake knockoff brands, direct to consumer products from china, scammers, resellers, etc… and it slowly brought down the overall quality of the site and overwhelmed their support staff. The difference with Amazon is they aren’t limited to just tech, the fact that they now carry pretty much everything under the sun basically protects them from this same fate any time soon, sadly.
- Comment on This airBNB was supposed to be a "relaxing retreat" but now I need therapy after this shit. 2 years ago:
My guess is whoever lived there before had a much larger TV mounted on the wall and then an entertainment center under it for peripherals (hence plugs on the ends down below). Current owner slapped the cheapest/smallest TV they could still mount on the wall thinking it would cover the old cable management setup

“Asshole governor who rigged his own election by disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of black voters across the state of GA, has once again taken advantage of his political position for personal gain.”

That one was less surprising than the choice he made in the end.
- Comment on Anyone here watched Warrior S3 finale? 2 years ago:
Yup, just finished up S3 last night. IMO it was a rather odd choice Ah Sahm made, given everything that had happened up until that point.
- Comment on Major 4-day workweek study suggests that when we work 5 days we spend one doing basically nothing 2 years ago:
Whats sad is that most of those jobs are just insanely understaffed (and underpaid), which is precisely why they’re so demanding.
