  On the windshield I’m totally okay with this type of vandalism. It cleans up easily with alcohol and everyone will know this guys a douche canoe until he can do it.

  That’s lame and easy to figure out.

  Switch to wireless mice. Maybe Logitech Unifying. Then one day pull all the dongles out and put them in a bucket.

  First person to figure out how to download and install the unifying software and re-pair their mouse without using it gets a bonus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT support work be like⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This struggle is real. Except I forget which email address I used because I use a lot of aliases.

  Normally my password manager would handle it but sometimes there’s re-branding and a new domain and the password manager can’t figure it out.

  My guess is either their landlord, their hospital, their bank, or their college. Not an actual gun, just proverbial. A lot of drivers are just desperate to make ends meet however they can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The four houses dads belong to.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really dislike Home Depot after a series of huge customer service mishaps with me last year, and actively avoid going there now.

  Which is a shame because I have a lot of Ryobi One tools. They are perfectly positioned for weekend warriors…huge tool library, good batteries, affordable and of fairly decent quality (certainly well above “junk” and a good value for the money).

  Shame that is a store-exclusive brand.

  The worst part is I’ve bought into most of the cordless tools I’d really need. The day might come where I want a larger circular saw (mines only 5.5 and it is prone to binding if your technique isn’t perfect, and even then…) or find that some of the tools that I’m okay with having corded (like a jigsaw or an angle grinder) I now need a cordless replacement. At that point I’ll likely find myself buying into a better and more expensive battery system and, for quite a while, only having the one seldom-used tool for it.

  Now I’ve got a dead 4Ah battery and I’m on the fence as to rebuild it, buy a new one, or take it as an opportunity to start going into a new battery system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The four houses dads belong to.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only ever seen the opposite…power inverters that run off the batteries…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I will die on this hill.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s tons of talent out there and that’s exactly why Mozarts are a thing of the past.

  Music is so attainable to people [in the west], and that’s a great thing (not that it shouldn’t be more…I.e greater financing for the arts, especially in public K12). It’s so easy to access, learn, and record.

  That, and the media market is so fragmented. We still have pop and chart-toppers in the major genres, sure…but man, there is so much stuff out there.

  I don’t think there will be another Mozart. I don’t even think there will be another person we can compare to Michael Jackson, or Freddie Mercury, or Trent Reznor, or Whitney Houston, or any of the other modern legends. Simply because there are so many talented people and media, and the means to produce it, are so attainable.

  One of my favorite things to do now is to find the bands “similar to” a band that I listen to or enjoy that have fewer than 1k subscriptions/followers. Even below 500. There’s so, so many hidden gems out there, and some of it may even redefine your own tastes in music.

  Originally they were going to make it 418mL but they just ended up with cans of spiked tea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From a matter of convenience I could actually appreciate what they are trying to do.

  Binge watching TV on disc, especially DVD, is frustrating. If you aren’t using the extra content (such as commentary), streaming is much better, as you can binge more episodes at a time or watch certain episodes without having to switch discs.

  If I was unaware this was available on a streaming service I had, I’d appreciate the reminder. But I’d appreciate it more at or before the main menu, not during the content, and certainly not more than once (or reset when the disc is removed).

  Kraft American Pre-sliced bulk packs are the pinnacle of American Cheese. It’s actually diminishing returns anywhere after that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastic overdose⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good American cheese is the really cheap shit.

  The whole point of American cheese is that it’s barely cheese and more like a delicious coagulated milk-stuff sheet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've been wondering for some time⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh that’s cool.

  I can save four lives per year for only 13k USD? Thats amazing. Thats actually slightly less than the cost of an average uncomplicated vaginal birth in the US.

  disparity will never be solved until we either achieve post-scarcity or a workable one-word government that’s not based on capitalism. There’s too much old word racism, colonialism, and natural resources aren’t equally divided. As a result there will always be global wealth inequality. We literally have to advance as a species.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant Bill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Went out to a pizza place the other night. Thought it was a brewery (one of my favorite local brews, actually), and had been there before and enjoyed flights from them…only to find out the place was a joint between the brewmaster and the restaurateur. Brewmaster took his share, his recipes, and dipped.

  Anyways while the food was pretty good, I mostly went for the beer and that’s a big part of why I won’t go back (they only had a couple cans from the brewery left and nothing on tap, only some other regional breweries).

  But the other part is that my wife put a tip down on the slip for our party of four (us and two kids) and asked me to doublecheck her math. I thought it seemed high and it turned out they already put a tip on the bill. For a party of four. Never saw that before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Military Time vs 24hr?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s go out to eat, I made reservations for 7.

  Are we having breakfast or dinner?

  Without context, tough to tell. That’s why 24hr is superior.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How far you wanna go with this?

  Your shell itself is actually a docker container that just runs bash and mounts the root filesystem, and everything in /bin is just an alias to a dedicated minimal container?

  Hence the “what”.

  Also it’s a grammatical horror show. So that doesn’t help either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve found the shelf-stable tetra-pak versions usually have fewer ingredients. Trader Joe’s brand here in the US is just soybeans and water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  People who are still afraid of dietary fat from the anti-fat craze of the 80s and 90s.

  If you’re watching weight, cutting calories from milk of all places is the worst place to do it. At least from whole down to skim. All the healthy stuff actually just so happens to be in the tasty part, the cream. Cutting that out just leaves you with a worst-tasting, less nutritious beverage aside from the fewer calories.

  If you want fewer calories but still have nutrition, soy is the way to go.
