Day one and done
Sometimes I think about getting pizza hut, then I remember it costs 36$ for 2 pizzas, so I just go to the store for two 6$ pizzas

10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player.
Should be illegal really, jail time.

Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.
Windows 11 offers nothing better than Windows 10, but there's a few key things that don't work as good/bugged on win11 for me. Should have not updated I think

Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.
Lately (few months) YouTube will not load whatsoever on my android phone nor tablet very often, activating a VPN fixes it instantly. Using basic YouTube app

I used to work for spectrum. I'd say around 60% of people legit do not know the difference between wifi and Internet. No wifi means no Internet, to them. Makes some trouble shooting harder

there is Indeed a problem
A tip for anyone in the situation: when looking for a job on any website, if it has a ridiculous pay range, like 30k-140k, stay away. Usually some pyramid scheme, or scammy commission only sales job that you'll never make anything from.
I'm sure some of these work out for some people, it has to. But realistically it doesn't ever work out.

Paris is battling an infestation of bloodsucking bedbugs on trains and in movie theaters as the city gets ready to host the 2024 Olympics

I had probably pretty bad bed bugs, felt pretty easy. But I did probably go overboard to ensure they were gone. Bed bugs spray killer directly, bombed twice. Washed known contaminated clothes very strongly. Ran all other clothes through just drier. full wall wipe, everything was washed and kept separated from room. Bombed again. Left outward facing tape along walls to see if they come back. Never had them again

Actually, let's give them another 30min
At 35 minutes I ask them if they'd accept me being 35 minutes late to the appointment, or would they just consider it a no show

I worked at AutoZone 7 years ago, we had a scanner thing that'd just read the check numbers on the bottom and run it like a debit card without a pin.
I'd tell people to not fill out the check, cause it doesn't matter at all, it didn't read it, and I give the check right back anyway, it could even be used again if the dorks would stop filling them out for no reason.
Even after all my telling them before and while they filled them out, they'd be in such disbelief when I returned their check after 3 seconds. Some would even be angry for them wasting time filling it out when it didn't even matter. Like guy I told you multiple times, how could anyone get upset at me for that.

Probably all smart thermostats, but for sure at least the Google thermo will offer to enroll your thermo in a rewards kinda program. Will get money (100$/yr for me) for Google to lower your HVAC use during major loads. Also you get a warning before it happens.
A lot of power companies also offer pretty much the same thing, but they can control it. Usually you get a few over rides per year before some penalties.
It's a good idea and should probably be the norm, should probably just fix the grid instead of the bandaid too

Kids keep going to college with the promise of making 400k/year, but normies don't get that. College is good and all but employers generally don't care which college you went to, or your major (if not directly related), what matters is who you became friends with in college, and who their parents/uncles are.
Better off studying something specific, vocational schools, trade schools. Learn something specific, either no or small loan

Reply in thread
The problem isn't the energy use nor the cost of the am radio, it's the amount of shielding and other changes that need to be made so the motor and inverter don't interfere with the am signal. On my bolt there's an am radio, there's some 'stations' that I can hear the actual sound of the motor.

My gripe is there's not enough room to put items from my bag to scan.
Need to put my bag on the bagging side, but it's full. Gotta take stuff out until scanned. No where to put the stuff, so I pile it on the floor.
Fuck me for bringing my own bag I guess

When my son (2) was born there was decent pressure to circumcise, we were asked leading up to birth, before birth at hospital many times, and many times after.
I'm sure there's plenty of single mothers who don't know any better and just eventually agree. I've been told hospitals sell the cut off for woman's make up stuff
