The last time I had general anesthesia, they didn’t give me any warnings but I had this weird prickly warm sensation in my crotch just before things went dark and I hated it but it’s like just gotta bear it for a few seconds until I’m out.

The last time a recruiter texted me, I replied with that meme. I haven’t heard from a recruiter since, so it appears to have worked.

I also leave spiders as long as they stay in the corners. If they invade my personal space, they forfeit their lives.
- Comment on He's the full text of the “PROTECTING AMERICANS’ DATA FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARIES ACT OF 2024” currently in in the resolving difference phase before the POTUS signs it. 2 weeks ago:
Part of it is that Vine was a little too early. Phone screens were smaller, and people weren’t used to watching videos on their phone as much as they do today.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
They are now. Not when people were going out west on wagons. As stated above, it’s because of historical reasons.

I’m thinking they used the same BIOS password for all of them.
- Comment on An engineer bought a prison laptop on eBay. Then 1,200 incarcerated students lost their devices. 2 months ago:
I hope they use unique, random passwords for each device this time. Not that I’m rooting for Corrections, but this is educational time that’s being lost
- Comment on Broadcom terminates VMware's free ESXi hypervisor 2 months ago:
I explained this in another thread. They’re ending sale of perpetual license. They’re not breaking ones they’ve already sold. That being said, eventually the version that perpetual licenses were sold for will stop getting updates and they’ll become a security risk. That was always the lifecycle for perpetual licenses, though.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 2 months ago:
You won’t be able to upgrade to new versions when the support contract runs out, but you can install updates to the existing version as long as updates are made for it. This has always been the lifecycle for perpetual licensing. It’s good forever, but at a certain point it becomes a security risk to continue using. The difference here is they won’t sell you another perpetual license when the lifecycle is up.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 2 months ago:
They’re terminating in the sense that they won’t sell it anymore. They’re not breaking the licensing they’ve already sold (mostly, there was some fuckery with activating licensing they sold through third parties)

Are you talking about electric toothbrushes in general? Because I’m pretty sure they’re regarded as more effective than manual toothbrushes

That’s why I like skiing. There’s a view, and then something to do when you’re done taking it in.
- Comment on Couple suing Google Maps after it sent them to a notorious crime hotspot where they were brutally attacked and robbed at gunpoint 3 months ago:
They didn’t ask to go to the dangerous place, they asked for the airport and Maps took them through the dangerous place.

But they know that the prediction is wrong. So why not update it?

I mean that it was easy. It was low handing fruit. It basically shouted “I’m a leftist” on its own.

Others have expanded, but it may be useful to try to break out of the typical idea of ownership.

Idk what med this is supposed to be but if I have a pill that feels like it’s sticking on the way down, I chase it with a handful of peanut M&M’s and that seems to do the trick. Plus I get an excuse to eat candy in the morning.
- Comment on Its most common use case is interrupting games 5 months ago:
It turns on when you tap shift 5 times in a row. It also has a pop up when it turns on giving you a link to the setting to turn off that behavior. Just turn it off when it happens if you aren’t going to use it.
- Comment on Its most common use case is interrupting games 5 months ago:
It’s an accessibility thing. If you can’t press two keys at once, then you can turn it on and press the modifier key, then the active key.
