My guess was it was so effective that everybody in earshot of the insult is getting blasted.

Pretty sure this is Canada, no frills is a franchise chain under Loblaws. Loblaws is the kind of company that increases a product price by 20% and then puts up a "same price everyday" sign to gaslight customers.

Oh *you*...
It reminds me of trying to find ROMs online as a kid, the link is almost always the smallest link, and almost never the five green DOWNLOAD buttons.

This kills the christian
Exmo take: there are divine attributes to each sin.
Sloth is to be meek and humble.
It is good to healthfully "lust" towards your lawfully wed spouce.
Take pride in your work, and family.
Be gluttonous in your education and church studies.
Be envious of God's attention by doing good acts.
There is a righteous wrath in terms of self defense and protecting others from wrongdoing.
And greed, well you gotta be wealthy in order to afford giving God a nice juicy tithe. Also gotta be self sufficient.
There's a bunch of mental gymnastics involved but that's from when I was a "good mormon boy."

I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.
For me I was taught cursive in elementary school, but it felt like I couldn't keep up writing assignments so i just stuck with printing which evolved to chicken scratch notes.

What? Properly thought out city grids are amazing. Take an address 1234 5th street sw. The address is in the southwest quadrant, five streets west and twelve avenues south from city center. It isn't perfect but it's way easier than the town I moved to where George street turns into Jefferson and suddenly George street reappears as a completely different road.

Judge Rules HP Must Face Class Action Lawsuit Over Disabled Printers

I don't think it's the same printer/issue but recently my brother printer that I bought in '21 decided it was out of toner and refused print without replacing the toner. I forget what setting I had to find to reset it but it works fine now, on the same toner cartridge I bought with the printer (I don't print often).
Off the top of my head it was a dcp-l2550dw, can't check it right now.
It was mildly annoying to deal with, I remember the instructions not working exactly and having to troubleshoot, I can't recall what I had to do to fix it. I can imagine somebody with less time on their hands just giving in and replacing the toner.

They are so dumb they want to piss everyone off for a lousy 15 minutes

I love the circles these standard systems make. My last job would increase pay every now and then because of poor attrition rates. Then they'd increase the standard to match the increase, gaslight anybody who'd complain and then be shocked when the attrition doesn't change and now the old workers are pissed off.

A Cool Guide: After I said “E as in egg” to customer service I looked up this guide
My favorite is asking a call Rep if I can switch to phonetic, and then rattling off the spellings when given the go ahead.
The only reason I have it drilled into my head is because the warehouse I work at uses voice for confirming locations.

Agreed, tried linux 6 months back, decided it wasn't worth my time, will try another distro in another 6 months.
And this is from someone who installed and used mint through junior high.

Lemmings, which communities are you blocking?
The only big one I did was block posts that mention elon musk, my feed was getting flooded with posts at one point.
For a spell I also blocked keywords to us politics, probably should just block the actual political communities.

How Warhammer 40,000: Darktide won players back after a lukewarm first year
Reply in thread
Tbh as someone who played the game since beta, this feels like a proper, feature complete, 1.0 release with an additional class dlc. I think it's a good game and low key wish I waited for this update to buy the game.
I love darktide, but hate space marine 2 because its everything I want in darktide but worse, ignoring the cool story/cutscenes. So take that as you will.
The bigger thing is I'm waiting minimum two probably three years after the next fatshark release. Wasn't aware of the trend with previous games and now I know better.

Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill?
Reply in thread
Short answer is probably not, it depends.
If you have a printer set up and ready to go, it certainly can be. But for me to get a printer and all the fixings (printer, cure/wash station, resin, tent and ventilation for fumes) I was out about 700 Cad. And then you gotta get stls, some are easy others are way harder. Some of those are free and some are paid. And then I myself am paying for lychee pro, so that's around a Netflix sub down the drain. Once that's all clear there is the insane time investment. I can easily spend 30-60 min processing a job and prepping the printer for the next print. Finding, prepping an stl to print if everything is good can take as short as an hour, but can take much longer if things are hard to find, or if it's a complex object to support. And then if you fail that print, all that time and resin (not too terrible, my large prints are like 5 bucks, small minis are under a dollar) is wasted.
After all that, there is still things I plan to buy. I lack the patience to try printing void dragon c'tan, and there's only one source that I could hope to buy a decent imotekh stl, and it'd be more expensive than buying the model (I regret buying it. That is the first and last time I ever get a finecast model).
For me the fun is in the journey not the product. I've had a lot of fun printing my necrons. I don't plan on playing in anything official, just friends so that angle isn't an issue. I went into it wanting to take up 3d printing as its own hobby and I do not regret going this route, but building a single 2k army like I plan to is not worth it. Past that I imagine the savings will roll in, but I don't really care for another army. Ethics wise I'm happy to vote with my wallet by diverting money to printing VS. paying for overpriced models.
