My Walmart has a little button to summon an employee. The last time (as in, both the most recent time and the final time) I went there at night to try getting diaper rash cream for my baby I pressed the button, and waited.

And waited.

Pressed the button again.

And waited.

Sunk cost fallacy. I've already waited so long, what if as soon as I walk away to find an employee somebody shows up?

After 10 minutes I went to find an employee stocking the shelves and told them what I needed. Their answer was "yeah, we saw you buzzed but we don't know who has the key. If we find out we'll have them open it for you."

So I left .

I hate Walmart so much.

I saw that change happen with my boss.

He got an iPhone 3G when it came out and then every year when Apple would release a new phone he HAD to have the latest one as soon as it came out.

Once Apple released the iPhone X he changed his tune and got fed up with the UI changing around and unfamiliarity and decided to stick with his 8 and whatever version of iOS until he was forced to replace it.

Doesn't that just turn off their screeches or something?

I absolutely loved Outer Wilds, except for our friends in Dark Bramble. But once I had do those parts of the DLC, I installed a mod that lit the place up and made the things in there not know around.

I was in for a puzzle space exploration game, not a stealth horror game.

Directions unclear, put jingle bells on Chippendale dancers.

Regarding #1, you have to use Cloudflare for DNS but it doesn't matter if they are your domain registrar or not.

Minecraft was already awesome when I purchased it in 2011, I didn't have to get promised vague future features.

Yeah... The number of times I've heard something along the lines of "the sunscreen is worse for you than the sunburn" is too many.

Lost my sense of smell and taste for about three weeks but then it went back to normal.

I didn't have any other symptoms and didn't realize I had COVID until I tried smelling some freshly blended horseradish and couldn't smell anything, but man did it still burn the nostrils. Would not recommend.

I have a friend that also had it and lost smell and taste for a month or two and it's mostly come back, but coffee tastes disgusting to him now.

3-4 years old, my father was sitting down and I was leaning on him and played through Kirby's Dream Land on the original Game Boy from start to finish.

I'm guessing Proof of Work.

Graphene OS users, what options are available for backing up your phone? I tried looking for an answer but wasn't able to find anything recent on this topic.

I want to try it but this is the one thing holding me back.

Am I the only one that has problems when using Quad9 as a forwarder?

I've tried multiple times and it would mostly work but I would sometimes have problems with random legit domains returning NXDOMAIN, and then start working later in the day.

It's the LG DualUp

Are there incompatibilities or performance issues?

I'm planning on upgrading in the near future and start messing with stable diffusion and other AI projects and I'm running Linux (I use Arch, btw) so I was leaning towards AMD instead of Nvidia.

I love Outer Wilds. I'll never forgot the moment of resignation when the all too familiar music starts playing only to realize, Oh no, it's quite different this time.

The DLC though... not for me. It's like a completely different game, different genre, with the only thing in common being the looping. I started feeling like such a chore that I just installed some mods to blaze through it and at least see the conclusion.

Ahh a stick of cinnamon. That's a much better idea than the recipe I tried that had ground cinnamon in it. It was so awful, so grainy. I ended up just throwing it out.

I'm going to have to give this a try!

Sounds like Kvatch to me.

I mean, the channel is alive and posting nearly daily, but I'm starting to feel like we'll never know the true story of Israphel

Exactly. I wanted a pickup for the convenience of the bed for the occasional project I might work on but 98% of the time it will just be me in there going to and from work.

I ordered my hybrid Maverick September 2022 and it's finally scheduled for production. On the one occasion every year or two that I need the power of a full size pickup, I'll just borrow it or rent some from Home Depot for a few hours.
