I was doing that with a wood board about 7 or 8 years ago, eventually a chunk fell off the side. I kept using it. Then, it warped. That’s when it was tossed and I got a plastic one.

Plastic goes in the dishwasher. Wood doesn’t. Plastic is cleaner.

Throw it out and go back to plastic.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 1 week ago:
Fair perspective. I don’t think you’re wrong, but I don’t think of the car guys and the arch people as similar.
As a non-car guy, I’ve never had a car guy try to be smug with me about an engine he built.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 1 week ago:
I first heard of Arch in 2013, it was something talked about at work as being a bit of a pain in the ass to get going, but once it was running, “kinda nice.” That didn’t interest me at the time. It still doesn’t. I didn’t want to do extra work to make my work computer functional.
I only “heard” one person bragging that they used Arch, but that was in 2017 or 2018 on a Discord thing for a game I was playing at the time. I haven’t “heard” anyone brag about it since then, but I’ve read maybe 4-5 comments since 2018 where the writer was coming off like they were proud of themselves.
It’s weird as fuck.

Are you talking about a Chromebook?
Aside from that… I remember when I had my very first help desk job in 2008, Dell was shipping Latitude laptops with Linux for $90 less than the laptops that shipped with Windows… which is what a lot of places did that already paid for their own licensing direct from MS.
- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 1 week ago:
I swap out my bath towel once every 3-4 days. When there’s 3 or more in the hamper, I wash them.
I’ll use these towels until they wear out.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 1 week ago:
I agreed with you for a few minutes; but now I think that the 0 is the correct score based on the instructions.
Initially, I read what she wrote and came to the conclusion that she should probably get at least 3 points out of the available 5 points to the question, “is the paper clearly written?” It is. It’s insane to try to refute that. She should get at least something here. If clarity is the only qualifier, sure, let’s give her a 5.
“Does the paper show a clear tie in to the article?”
Eh… it knows what the article is about at least, so maybe 1 point.
“Does the paper show a thoughtful response…”
No, not really… but there are words here, so maybe 1 point again.
She’s at a 7/25, so, 28%. The problem for her was this part…
I will deduct 10 points if your paper is between 620 and 649 words
630 words means 10 points are deducted. If there’s only 7 available… well, that’s how you get a 0%.

I’m not sure what prompted it, but I recently decided to try Opera. It’s not too bad, but I haven’t researched anything about it either. I’ll be spending more time looking it to it i suppose.

Sometimes they just randomly show up at your door and tell you to let them in and feed them. Then you need to get a box for them to shit in. Next thing you know… you start shitting in a box too… because it’s time for your colon cancer screening.

Yea, that’s fair… I did a bad job of making my point. I tried multiple different vitamin D supplements, none of them did anything beneficial for me.

They don’t do anything. Go outside more.

Concur about the lack of black and white. Interestingly enough, a major portion of your list of evils are things that I consider good. Addictive drugs are bad… everything else has a helpful, practical use, but could also be bad if used by a bad person.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I’m really only familiar with Meetup from that list, and yea, I agree. I think they inherently aren’t intending to do harm as a company, but what if domestic terrorists / cultists were to use meetup to find other likeminded individuals. Meetup may be in part responsible for getting harmful people together and they may never be aware of it. Sure, it’s a hypothetical, but not entirely outside the realm of possibility.
IMO, mistreating and underpaying people does make the world worse. It’s not the company mission, but yea… the whole capitalist machine thing. It’s hard to escape the output, which tends to harm at least someone.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
There’s exceptions, but almost every company harms at least someone, or some thing through their existence. Maybe not the world as a whole, maybe just a small portion of it, but considering the nature of doing business itself, it’s a difficult problem to get around.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I don’t work for Google, and you’re not wrong, but I am not sure they’re totally wrong either. I honestly believe that a majority of companies around today are making the world worse, at least, for most companies there’s an argument that can be made. I’m having some difficulty thinking of an exception right now.

Due to the sheer number of articles surrounding the AI bubble popping; I’m coming to the conclusion that this has already started.
