  I’ve seen troopies boil the foil ration bags in the hot water, and then use the hot water for tea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I bought an HP Laptop with 8gb of Ram...and was suppose to be 256gb SSD. I downloaded one game and its all the way down to 80. Is there any free software to download to help?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  supposed

  it’s

  170gb[.] [I]s there anyway

  any way

  I recommend swapping in a new SSD . Use something like clonezilla to mirror the SSD from the old one to the new.

  Also see whether you can bump the RAM in that box: laptops often have a LOT of junk that starts on boot that just seems to eat RAM, not the least of which is Windows itself. Adding RAM will have the most immediate effect once you’ve found the space to install things.

  ?

  Lowest-effort comment ever. A single character.

  A dictionary’s a thing. Looking it up may require typing a second letter - and then a third! - but it’s good practice.

  I’m scared that my new position will be as bad or worse

  It will be. But it’ll be a different kind of ‘as bad’ that you can maybe cope better with and maybe be content or happy. And, I worry you’ve shat in this bed already so you’ve got a best-before date.

  My dude, the moment you say “just”, you make us all run away. “Just” is the keyword that says “someone is going to trivialize a bunch of shit they don’t understand” and that never ends well.

  No one shakes a vending machine. Its part of gen-x schooling to learn you rock the machine back just a bit and then let it settle back on its feet.

  What are they teaching kids now, if not that?

  Hate speech needs to be said in person.

  Said a different way, “I says pardon?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a good present for some friendly nurses who taught me little tricks to work better before I leave the hospital I'm working at?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We used to get Jeffersons back (with some Sacajaweas or suzyBs) from the p.a.t.h train into NYC at the turnstyles as change back from a Lincoln.

  You cannot spend most of that anywhere and I still have some stashed in a box so many years later.

  And it was fun naming the money, thank you for asking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to avoid having cat hair all over my house and clothes every 2 days?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Brushing them
  2. Some diets can cut the hair down
  3. Clothing that matches the cats
  4. Lint roller
  5. ’inside’ vs ‘outside’ clothes, even if “inside” just means that shirt and those pants are halfway through their wear cycle and they’re now promoted to take the hair hit for the team until they’re washed or their relief arrives.

  Clearly. For science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Four Dead In Fire As Tesla Doors Fail To Open After Crash⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed.

  I like how the article delivered that fact in a way that focuses on their inadequacy while highlighting their existence. It’s like "we know they had a backup option, so shut up. They still weren’t good enough to be available for the emergency when they’re hidden behind shit.

  If I put a half-wall up in my house in front of a visible window that can be used as emergency egress, I’m in shit. This hidden latch is no better.

  workout

  ‘work out’, here, with the space. It’s the difference between “what’s up Chuck” and “what’s upchuck”, and one of those may involve a hospital visit.
