EVERYONE out pizzas the hut.

pizza hut is bad chain pizza.

this has been my opinion since the early 90s and nothing during that time has changed my opinion.

meanwhile domino’s has gotten markedly better since 2000. if I’m traveling and don’t want to think about what to eat, I’m getting domino’s because I know they’re everywhere. them or papa johns depending on what deal is going on at the time.

i had to login for some functions at work. i believe the minimums were 8 characters, 1 caapitol, 1 number. and we all hated it, because the passwords had to be changed every 90 days, and you couldn’t reuse passwords. eventually you are going to run out of things you can reasonably use that you could remember and then would be forced to use some sort of password manager. but OOPSIE you couldn’t install any software on the office computer so you would have to resort to writing them down somewhere. it was a mess.

fortunately corporate decided to just change the entire system adopting most of these rules, min 15 characters, no special character, no hints, no forced changing passwords unless you think you have been compromised or just want to change it. we do have to use 2fa to access some things if you aren’t sitting at the office computer but other than that people are much happier about passwords now.

there are too many points of failure for me to ever be comfortable using the cloud as a primary storage option.

i’ve always maintained this opinion when “the cloud” started being touted as being the future. and yet more corporations (including mine) are reliant on it. i mean sure, i can log in on my home computer and have some access to stuff as though i were physically at the office but that convenience ain’t worth the headache if the main storage site crashes.

there’s so much different I’d almost consider them related and not an adaptation.

who else but a genius would buy a social media company, remove the things that made it functional and useful, reintegrate and allow to overpopulate elements that made it worse, and destroy a multi-billion dollar icon and name render useless a word that the thing you bought created and is universally understood because he thinks calling stuff X is cool?

not only a genius but ta soooper genius.

just about every christian I know sees other sects and offshoots as a separate religion. it’s very sneech-like.

I wouldn’t buy one. good job. elon destroying your brand name.

believe it or not, the original best audiobook torrent site demonoid is still around. the variety isn’t as varied as it used to be but it’s probably one of the best public aduiobook torrent sites around.

+10 on graphicaudio. I’ll admit I liked them a little better when they were adapting pulp novels but everything they do is high quality.

www.graphicaudio.net if you are in the us.

yes because math. next week it won’t be a problem because it will be a milestone multiple of 10 age.

I would and for the most part have used private trackers for either a specific type of thing or a specific kinda obscure or not very popular title. I find that the more not well known a thing is, the more likely it’s going to be found and (re)seeded on a private tracker.

I was able to ask for an invite on a public forum, and I was able to use my demonoid (remember demonoid?) stats as proof back when they were semi private.

if you can show that you are a good and consistent uploader someone usually will sling an invite your way.

I’m not really a fan because in a lot of cases it forces you to download stuff you might not want just to establish and maintain an acceptable ratio so eventually you can get the stuff you do want.

if I wanted something obscure and not really interested in the popular thing I’m either wasting bandwidth and/or server space starting out or searching for that thing on a public tracker.

the one private tracker I do use is extremely generous with upload credits for newbies and I was able to take advantage of that plus contribute something right away so I didn’t and still don’t have any issues but I know that’s not the case with some people.

there’s a lesson that I learned in college that I still follow today: never eat lunch at lunchtime. unless I’m traveling I’m not eating at peak periods anyway so I really wouldn’t be affected by this pricing change.

I still don’t like it though. unless that wendy’s is the only game in town (literally) this isn’t going to be good for business.

what are the chances it would have been way overpriced compared to it similar competitors?

ho, hoe, ho

I called clarence thomas a removed. it got filtered.

not to me.

I stayed in a college town for a summer in a state college prep type program, so I would have been at the perfect age to really enjoy the “college town” experience. it’s not really for me. and it doesn’t really have much of anything to do with the town itself. I liked the place that I stayed in. however driving over 30 minutes to go to a place as middling as a japanese restaurant was not so appealing. having services around is important to me, so unless it’s a giant college town like lexington, ky I’m not going to be interested.

ps. I’m not going to live in lexington because lexington sucks.

the last time I was on an airplane was december 31, 2000.

nothing since that time has encouraged me to break that boycott.
