and then there’s a few films like robert rodriguez’ we can be heroes, which has only his studio card at the very beginning and a title card two and a half minutes in. that’s it. no opening theme, no opening credits at all, nothing. just movie. i kinda like it, actually.

acquiredextinguished bythe devilhp in 2017 - Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
if you’ve not ever updated the firmware of the printer, it might just be a faulty third-party cartridge. try another.
if the one you’re having difficulty with was a recent purchase, ask the vendor for a swap. the good ones will happily send another.

- Comment on Alphabet spins off Starlink competitor Taara 3 weeks ago:
a two-minute scan of products for sale on amazon will tell you that society is to the point of mashing keyboards to string letters together to come up with company names. this at least has consonants and vowels arranged in an order that resembles a word.
- Comment on Amazon customer receives fake Ryzen 7 9800X3D, turns out to be decade-old AMD CPU 4 weeks ago:
It was sold by Amazon itself rather than a third-party seller, which is often the case with these sorts of fake items.
The fact that the packaging was sealed and the CPU was unused suggests that this was not one of those instances in which someone bought an item and replaced it with a fake before sending it back for a refund.
co-mingled inventory strikes again.
- Comment on DOGE Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government is Wildly Dangerous 4 weeks ago:
That’s because he and his kind believe government is useless and can just be broken without losing anything important.
kinda like racks of servers that keep a social media site used by 100s of millions of users? the ones muskrat just yanked willy-nilly out of a data center and loaded onto uhauls? it took weeks for twitter to repair that damage.

- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 4 weeks ago:
most retailers won’t be happy with the same net per unit when fewer units will sell due to the higher prices, so they’ll be adding more than just that 25% of ‘cost’ to the final retail price.
the basic idea of the tariffs for lord diaper is to pressure those countries into doing what he wants. the revenue stream is secondary to that goal, but is a significant shift of tax burden onto the lower and middle classes; while the wealthy get tax cuts ‘funded’ by those tariffs that disproportionately affect those least able to afford the higher prices.
- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 5 weeks ago:
“then what’s all the cuts to medicaid and snap and other benefits and programs going to?”
more tax cuts for the rich.
“how about all the other ‘savings’ from ‘doge’?”
more tax cuts for the rich.
“then why is the deficit still growing by billions and billions?”
more tax cuts for the rich.
“when is it our turn?”
never!

- Comment on How do people even function on a 9:00 to 5? 5 weeks ago:
a monday-friday ‘9 to 5’ is actually pretty brutal if you live alone, are a single parent, or your partner also has the same work schedule.
you will find yourself taking a vacation day here and there just to ‘get stuff done’ instead of, ya know, taking a vacation or at least days off to ‘rest’.
if you can get a 4 day schedule (even at 4x10), it helps a lot. saves on commuting too, since it’s 20 percent less of that bullshit (expense and wasted time). swapping a weekday for a weekend day every now and then, if it’s possible, is also an option.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on Microsoft tests ad-supported Office apps for Windows users 1 month ago:
you already did this before…
office 2010 starter. slightly reduced functionality word and excel, and ‘office to go’ usb creator. had ads. only ever saw/see generic microsoft ones. like they never actually tried selling the space to anyone.
came preinstalled on new systems from major oems during a short window between ms works’ retirement and office 2013’s release.
tanked sales of ‘real’ office enough that it was pulled less than two years later and never tried again.
until now.
- Comment on Server upgrade/replacement help 1 month ago:
windows isn’t the problem. it can and will run all day, every day.
your existing box isn’t a server. it’s a desktop pc that you’re doing ‘server things’ on. you want a server, make it one:
move the retro gaming, the ‘shitposting’, the 3d design work, and the random internet use that goes with those things, off to a different pc.
leave the existing one with the *rrs, the storage, the drivepool and snapraid… get everything else off. then leave it alone.
