  My stress was pretty high during it. I don’t know that I have had a movie do that to me before.

  The movie isn’t terrible, but there are some super awkward scenes that apparently were only made because of how the contracts were laid out.

  Oh you’re saying it might be illegal, but technically not prosecuted under theft.

  I would hope a company handling the volume of money like would at least have small regional bank level cyber security.

  You’re right though, cromulent is a perfectly scrumtrulescent word.

  It’s still the best search engine I can find, but it used to be better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gasoline, diesel vehicles dominate India's auto market, EVs lag⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I pay $345/month for my car loan, $10/year to rotate the tires and top off the fluids, and $0.18/kWh to charge because I have a 100% renewable energy plan at home, I paid ~$1000 for the level 2 charger and install. I haven’t seen a change in my electric bill or usage, in fact I had to ask my wife when we bought her car because it wasn’t as obvious as I thought it would be on my electric company’s usage graph. My wife’s car came with 3 years free at Electrify America which got us from Texas to California and back without needing to pay for charges the whole way, and it takes something like 30 mins to top up which was fine because I needed to walk the dog and stretch my legs.

  Is that the one where if you’re on a group thread long enough someone will post a picture of a cat?

  Yep, same here. Took a lot of practice looking in a mirror, but it’s worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas grid paid firm to stop mining crypto during heatwave⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point, OP is right then, makes no fucking sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas grid paid firm to stop mining crypto during heatwave⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes sense if it’s the renewable energy companies using cryptocurrency mining to keep solar and wind energy from going to waste. It makes zero fucking sense when natural gas is still a major part of your energy supply. www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards/fuelmix note the complete lack of a logical sorting on the page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They tried⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It means “something bad that I disagree with”, synonymous with communism, socialism, democrats, and Nazis, at least that’s what Infowars tells me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Experts Fear Crooks are Cracking Keys Stolen in LastPass Breach⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the “password-less” account access that Microsoft gives me, it should just be that. Just give me a list of numbers to pick from when I attempt to login and we’ll call it a day. I just don’t see how that gets compromised without a user error.

  Sure you can replace it yourself. You might also fuck it up so bad you flood your bathroom. Remember to turn off the water main BEFORE you start.

  Because of course they would sabotage their own product because of international standards that won’t let them nickel and dime their customers.

  Drew Carey is great in the role. He’s not Bob Barker, but he brings his own personality to the show. Bob is a legend, Drew has big shoes to fill.

  It’s probably full of ads anyway.

  Fun fact: flipping the switch on the surge protector while someone was working on one of these was absolutely devastating to their work. They would remind you about the incident nearly 40 years later.
