Tomato, tomato…
Tomato, tomato…
If you want to confuse people… I pronounce /etc as “ets”, but one of my coworkers recently called it “slash e t c” and I had to ask him to repeat it a couple times before I figured out what he meant…
Have you ever tried catching flies? Vinegar works better than honey, after all, flies eat shit.
The hell I would…
Having worked both retail and call center, no, they’re not in the same league. People can be assholes over the phone, absolutely, but it’s quite different from face-to-face. Someone threatens to kill me over the phone, I can say “I’d like to see you try” and hang up, and the worst that happens is I get fired. In person, they can carry out the threat.
It’s nice when you have a boss that has your back. I worked at RadioShack back in the day, and the manager of the store I stayed at the longest was like that. Of course we didn’t have the whole x items or less, but we were in a busy college area, only on-street parking, so we’d get people running in and wanting to be served immediately regardless of how busy we were because they were double parked. The boss empowered us to tell them to fuck off, politely of course. “Come back when you have more time, we’ll be happy to help”. Also, we were next to a parking lot, it wasn’t ours, though we did have a couple of spots that were clearly marked employee parking only. Few things gave the boss more pleasure than calling a tow truck… Literally rubbing his hands with glee on multiple occasions.
I never worked food service, but I did my time in retail… That “Well we’re here now” just gave me a PTSD-like flashback…
Have I just experienced youngsplaining?
Once upon a time, there was a Linux distro that would fit on a single floppy, it was intended for system rescue, diagnostics, that sort of thing…
I don’t think the OS was sophisticated enough to tell the difference… A drive letter is a drive letter…
As I recall, my windows 95 CD-ROM contained a bunch of floppy-sized .cab files in a folder, so it’s entirely possible it was available as a set of floppies…
Now I want to do this at my job… I actually have a box of 5.25" floppies somewhere…
My ads aren’t targeted, at least I don’t think they are… I honestly don’t notice what they are for most of the time, so that’s a failure right there, they’re not memorable - but when I do notice, they’re for either trump or sports betting, two things which I have negative interest in…
Cars are just full of “problematic” words… Leaking tranny fluid, retarded ignition…
Can’t we just change “slave” to “servant” and carry on?
I did that years ago, and they said basically “never”. Then a couple years later all of a sudden, there it was.
pirated
It’s not pirating if you own a physical copy like DVD or Blu-ray, it’s fair use. Fuck the studios for trying to take that away from us.
Then they’ll make you get a keyboard subscription…
“Stuck with”? I find open source alternatives far less infuriating to work with than anything Microsoft produces.
“hack hack,” hackened he.
