  As long as I can break door hinges for those 2 hours, I’m good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dads be like⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If I used my gameboy light in the car I wasn’t allowed to be within the area my dad could see in the rearview mirror

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They always show a picture of the clock tower when talking about the bell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨flock + ring = ice⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Alexa is also the linchpin of Amazon Sidewalk which is opt-out and potentially gives a way for devices in your home (like smart appliances) to connect to the internet whether you give them wifi access or not. Pretty handy surveillance tool.

  But don’t worry, we’ve only made Jeff Bezo’s powerful enough to rent Venice for his wedding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still remember in school when you got used text books that other previous years of classes had used. Still remember a history book that had porno captions on every picture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you get the book from a super serious student and everything relevant is highlighted, so you can just read their cliff-notes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  brilliant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, its either a cold cream soup or a heavily dressed salad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what would you do with an old dell server?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t respect that list anyway. Where is Hanna Montana Linux?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what would you do with an old dell server?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Like most of the best things in life, Proxmox is built on Debian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the main device to hammer in a nail?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To answer this question correctly we need to use my favorite super power: pedantry. The meme suggest the rules of who wants to be a millionaire are in play, but that is not expressly stated. Furthermore we’re going to ignore our societal training at recognizing multiple choice questions because, again, we’re not given instructions.

  With these powers combined, the question is ambiguous as it doesn’t specify the set from which we are choosing. Using the 4 options below the question is an assumption. Therefore we have to conclude that we’re choosing from an infinite set of options, every possible decimal value from 0 to 100.

  The answer is an extremely small percentage, approaching zero.

  The squid are nice, but you need a hotend blob if you want to get higher than 6 out of 10. A blob that also consumed a silicon sock will get you to 9, probably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything Is Great!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Whew, for a second I thought I saw myself in that pic. Then I realized I’m drinking a can of soda this morning, so I can go about my business without any troubling self-reflection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Protection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  and nicotine and cocaine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re also inflating conversion numbers (the thing company ad spend is based on) by over 50%. Google is doing the same. So even real ads are only half as effective as companies think.

  Good news! There’s an ad bubble too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My collection is growing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Flat pack furniture has been propping up the hex stock industry for decades now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It really is heart warming when grandkids teach their grandparents how to use the internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “In my day we only got big titty ascii art. I was wearing an onion on my belt…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't try to stop me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend Jules told me that, in France, the idiom is about comparing apples to pears.

  And they call a quarter pounder with cheese a royale with cheese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go Green⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know specifically, but generally hybrids need to be in the same genus. Tomatoes are nightshades and I think cannabis is in the bamboo side of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you even old enough to remember number 1?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a kid you couldn’t choose your phone. Or I guess you could choose between wall mounted of tabletop. They were leased from the phone company when you paid for a phone line.

  My grandmother kept her bakelite rotary phone until she couldn’t call her doctor without a touchtone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandfather had a rule for this kids, and my mom passed it down to me.

  You can’t have a license until you can:

  • Check and fill all the vehicle fluids
  • Perform an oil change
  • Change a tire
  • Drive a manual transmission
  • Change belts and hoses

  I learned on a stick. I even did some learning on my uncle’s beetle with a broken clutch (they were reasonable optional on the OG Bug). And I have not been behind of the wheel of one since. Still glad I learned all that stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  banana ball?

  If we make that slang for tennis ball then we’re molding the world to suit our memes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slow ass apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ancient Mayan calendar was right about 2012, its just a slower process than we thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sad⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know the motivations of all the people who were working but I’m willing to bet Graham Bell did to bother employees during their off hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given how much time I spend actually looking at the screen while the show/movie is on, it might as well be in ca. 2000 RealVideo 160x120 resolution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're so predictable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This one has never worked for me, because if I see a long number without commas or periods I have to stop and figure out. I couldn’t hope to read that number until I solved to puzzle of whether is started with “million” or “billion.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the first I’m hearing it, and I feel like I’ll always be just a little bit sadder now that I know its a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Secondsies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the doctors orders I eat 2 breakfasts, I’m not letting a pharmacy screw up the good thing I’ve got going!

  But what insurance is requiring 90 days and are they taking signups? Mine forces everything to 30 unless I use their mail pharmacy that constantly loses orders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You save a lot of money wringing every penny of value from all your electronics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Replace things?

  Virtually every computing device I’ve ever owned is somewhere in the house I’m in. I sold my first PC (a Leading Edge 8088 IBM clone) and I still regret it. It’d been hard to get hooked into my homelab, but I would have figured it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping that MFer on its toes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I drink unsweetened tea and diet cola all day, I don’t know what my body is complaining about. You know what, fine here’s half a jar of peanut butter on a pop tart!
