I think the whole point of a boycott is to… not use the service.

Check what your local laws require. Some areas require both front and back plates, some only require rear plates.

- Comment on "Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo? 2 weeks ago:
This is it. The door is warmer than the back and the mayo will separate if frozen

Why the hell would someone who wants to move away from Firefox because of their user unfriendly decisions want to use Comet, an AI browser from the same exact company Firefox is using to poison their own browser??
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 3 weeks ago:
Personally, the issue is ease of installation and configuration of programs.
Some things are just as simple as they are on Windows and iOS with just clicking a button and using a wizard of sorts, but some things need you to parse a series of terminal prompts and figure out how to rewrite parts of the instructions to fit your particular machine and setup.
Often I end up missing or misunderstanding some step and it doesn’t work and I have no idea why.
It’s not impenetrable and it’s not a problem exclusive to Linux, but it does make setting things up a bit more of a chore.
I got Ubuntu on a laptop now to test out how to use that as my daily OS before I commit to figuring out how to swap over my Windows 10 desktop sometime next year and it admittedly is MUCH EASIER now than when I last tried around 2008, but I still run into problems.
I’m currently trying to schedule a weekend where I can diagnose why my raspberry pi won’t boot after a power outage when it’s survived that in the past and another weekend to figure out why the self hosted tandoor app I got successfully running a few months ago suddenly stopped and cannot run now, even after what I thought was a clean install.
I wanna switch. I do. But so many steps of it are full on projects. I’m learning a lot and it gets easier every step of the way, but it’s still at a state where I need to schedule time to address these things that “just work” on Windows.

I don’t think ibuprofen is safe to take with alcohol either.
Pretty sure the label warns against this here. But lots of water and sleep is a good idea.
Do I have to get shit faced to get braised beef tongue for breakfast or can I just ask nicely? I’m open to either.

Oh honey it happens, it’s not a clear sign of any larger problem, sometimes people just get too drunk.
…if it becomes a pattern, that’s a different story. But he was probably a bit nervous meeting the family and overindulged. If he’s doing it out of boredom, make the boy cook!! Anyone can peel or chop vegetables. I got mine a lil apron and call him my sous chef (don’t tell him he’s the actually the garçon de cuisine)

In the moment? Put him to bed. Tell him he’s too drunk and he’s causing problems, acting inappropriately and put him to bed. Tomorrow, explain what happened, if he’s not immediately remorseful hit him with the “Are you proud of your actions? Trying to touch my cock in front of my family?” be explicit. Explain that is unacceptable and if that’s how he’s going to act while drunk, he can’t drink that much around your family. Set these firm boundaries.
If he’s a decent man, he’s gonna feel really regretful. You can explain you still love him, you still wanna be with him, you understand people get drunk and make bad decisions and ask him if he wants help metering his drinking and try to work out some code phrases to remind him to pace himself while saving face. Revelling drunks hate to be told “Slow down” or “Haven’t you had enough?” Something like touching his shoulder and saying “Whew, these drinks are strong! I think I’m gonna get a buffer water, do you want one, honey?”
Also, get him a Gatorade before he goes to bed and one for when he wakes up, that should help the hangover in a big way. Any electrolytes will do. I like the Brode pills.
- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 3 weeks ago:
I have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra from 2020. Phenomenal device. The folding phones intrigued me, though, so I looked into it.
The specs are meaninglessly better, anything you get today is bundled with AI bloatware, I’d lose my stylus and any choice, even the Chinese ones (which are tricky to get and use in the US grrr) cost at least $1,700 for the privilege.
No thanks. I cracked the screen on this device and paid $250 to get pretty much the entire phone besides the main board replaced (another bitter grr, I used to swap digitizers off smart phones myself for $20) so I don’t see any reason to swap for another few years.
In this economy? It just doesn’t make sense.
- Comment on Watch: ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Cast Introduce Their Cadet Characters 4 weeks ago:
Well, I can’t watch the actual introductions because they’re all stuck on Instagram, but the trailer posted seemed… fine, I guess. It seemed kinda action forward but that’s just part of some episodes. The writing seemed a little sloppy? Like Picardo saying “we got X injured but no casualties”. Casualties include injured, don’t they? Also maybe it was just me but everyone’s mouths looked like they were moving kinda weird during the action shots. Maybe that’s a playback issue tho.

- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch' 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t they say similar shit about tracking, too? Then they backtracked that with later updates?
It sucks to see, but I think Firefox is going down the shitter.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 6 is "progressing really well", Bethesda shout from the kitchen as they baste a GTA-shaped turkey 4 weeks ago:
Starfield said to me “our base formals is dated and needs to change fundamentally” and I simply don’t think they’re gonna take ES6 in that direction.

- Comment on Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? 4 weeks ago:
Christmas is more of an industry than a holiday, thus all the products and goods made to market it.
