Well, broken clocks and all…

Thanks. We’ll manage; I’ll walk in masked, and don gloves if anyone hands me a device. There’s a strong anti-mask, anti-vaccination ethos around here. I’ll be a pain in the ass.

AFAIK, the Samsung BEC-H series commercial monitors don’t have the “smart” features (at least enabled, probably still exist under the hood somewhere).

My dad, after a discussion in my young adult years turned political: “if you’re not a liberal when you’re young, you don’t have a heart. If you’re not conservative when you’re an adult, you don’t have a brain.”

Well, dad, I have made it to adulthood with brilliant children and great relationships with them to boot. I’m still a screaming liberal and you’re still a racist that is gargling the balls of a wannabe dictator.

Happening right now. Immunocompromised infant in the ICU. Company leaders last week while in ER and hospital admission: “what can we do for you; anything you need; what do you need?” This week, now that we know our needs: “yeah, remote work doesn’t fit our culture.”

I’m in I.T. Fuck me for wanting to keep my kid from dying from a common cold.

Dude didn’t even get a shot off. And at 400 yards, an AK might hit the broad side of a barn. This was an assassination attempt equivalent to a palsy patient attempting to do brain surgery with a pipe wrench. (shamelessly stolen from Sin City)

Regarding hydro, the ecological effects upon the area flooded, the impact on migration of species, and risk of poorly designed and maintained dams needs to be considered. Wind? I’m guessing the impact on airborne wildlife - only thing I can think of.

Wouldn’t say I buy cheap shit, not Apple (I’m not Musk or Bezos rich), but flagship Samsung and pro earbuds, Logitech trackball, jbl speakers, and headsets from Bose and Jabra. Now the BT receiver for the stereo, that was cheap Amazon garbage. I’ll give you that one.

I’m talking phones to cars (for hands-free and music), mice to desk and laptop, earbuds and headphones to both, keyboards to anything from computers to fire TVs, BT speakers, adapters for older receivers… They all suck. Multiple phones, devices and cars. (although the 2012 Chrysler was the worst so far, and the 2021 Subaru is better)

I will die on the hill that Bluetooth always has and always will suck ass. Pairing sucks. Latency sucks. Random-ass disconnects suck. Fuck Bluetooth in the neck sideways with a rusty screwdriver.

Because of course they did

Any landing you can walk away from…

Ugh - thanks for that jerkoff-to-rosecolored-performative-patriotism-earworm-garbage memory. >:(

Put the snek and slogan on a pride flag!

Is it significant, statistically or otherwise, that 2/5ths of the named people (not counting the linked list b/c I’m lazy) are either certifiably insane or confirmed pederasts? (both in one case?)

If you told me that Kennedy shared his brain worm with Kanye, I’d not be the least surprised: “yeah, that tracks.”

As a hobbyist in the 80s, RadioShack was a tinkerer’s play space. I miss those days.

Step 4: get blown ta fuck by a fpv drone

It isn’t just a few shots. There was one a really big, well-publicized attack a couple few years ago in the PNW somewhere, and the energy sector has been warned to take protective actions (but think of the shareholders now). There have been several dozen smaller events across the country.
