Anyone still on Shitter is just asking for whatever they get at this point.

Definitely easier if you can plan it in advance.

What do you do if you have a horse that dies or has to be put down? You call your neighbor down the road who has an excavator and ask him to dig you a horse sized hole. Then you bury it. If you don’t, you won’t want to leave your house for at least a week.

Film Studios:

“We’ll recycle the same theme’s and franchises over and over until they’re completely worn out AND we’ll paywall the shit out of our media so everyone has to have 27 subscriptions to watch anything remotely interesting. Oh, and you’re going to like it because we said so.”

Also Film Studios:

“Wait, where are you going!? Why aren’t you giving us money??? Come back! You can’t not subscribe!”

I had to sign up for a business account because of Cox’s data cap. Sadly they’re my only option and they suck ass.

It happens to a lot of people after their mid 20’s. Damned slow ass metabolism.

Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?

I once worked for a big corporation that makes hydraulic rescue tools, where management somehow failed to grasp that the chief selling point of these tools is that they do the job reliably every time. No firefighter wants to be trying to get someone out of a car like, “Damnit! The cutter is acting up again. We should probably look into that.”

But the executives kept demanding that we add “features” to the tools that effectively compromised the reliability and then got all surprised Pikachu face when it was explained to them that the customers thought the tools were overpriced half-assed garbage.

I guess my point is I’ve seen plenty of incredibly stupid examples of management ignoring the engineers and yet somehow Musk demanding that radar be scrapped in favor of cameras is right at the top of the list. Especially if you want your customers to live long enough to buy your products more than once.

There are usually way more polling locations open on election day than during early voting. They set up polling at churches, schools, and community centers all over.

During early voting I have to go to the courthouse which is in the next town over. There aren’t any polling places in my city.

Reddit was never “mainstream social media”. Annecdotally, I have heard more people referring to Reddit in casual conversation so maybe it is becoming more widely accepted.

If that’s true, then I still have no regrets about leaving. If I wanted to look at a news feed full of hot garbage I would have stayed on Facebook.

That depends on the state but at least in my state it requires a court order for both situations.

“Mrs. [Husbands firstname lastname]” is a pretty dated form of address. I feel like I don’t see that a lot anymore. Except in very formal situations and from people who don’t realize it’s out of style. It’s also seems to have become more acceptable to refer to all women as “Miss/Ms.” Regardless of her martial status. I sincerely doubt the address mistake was meant to be offensive.

One thing I do find infuriating is the fact that it in numerous states in the US, it is much harder for a man to take his wife’s last name when getting married than the other way around. A woman can mail a form and a copy of her marriage license to the Social Security Administration and get the DMV to reissue her driver’s license. That’s all it takes.

A man often has to get a court order which I think is very discriminatory.

I hear a lot of devs that don’t seem to get this.

“WhY wOuLd YoU uSe ExCeL? I pReFeR tO cOdE mY oWn SoLuTiOn.”

No, Why would I spend a week coding something that I can create a pivot table and some charts for in an hour? Especially when if I code it myself, that means I now own and have to support my lovely new utility. Time is money and I’ve got way more important things to do than build custom reporting suites that no one except me is ever going to use.

Lol Google sheets has nowhere near the capabilities of Excel. They’re not even in the same class.

And still the spreadsheet gold standard. Microsoft gets plenty of shit wrong but Excel is one thing they got right.

Walmart is in the process of acquiring Vizio for the express purpose of using TV’s to serve advertisements.

If ISP’s are liable for piracy, so are power utilities.

Good old caller id spoofing.

That’s when you’ve got them on the hook. Then you string them along until they finally realize that you’ve been messing with them the entire time and start angrily cursing you over the phone.

I make it my personal mission to waste as much of those shitbags time as possible.

Does anyone answer if you call back?

I love fucking with the actual scammers. Last time I actually paid for an eFax subscription and kept spamming them back with fax calls.

It took a day or two but they stopped calling.
