  oh thankfully I don’t have to wait for it to happen later, it’s a struggle to make it outside — once they start, it’s happening. I’m just happy if they puke on the hardwood and not on a rug. been thinking about trying to teach them to puke in the shower

  friggin’ bastards beg for dinner as early as possible but then puke in the morning if they haven’t eaten in the past 14 hours

  yuuuuuup

  if I choose to actually get up when I wake up naturally at the right point in the sleep cycle but it’s 17 minutes before I want to wake up, I’m sure awake in a second or two

  if I choose to ignore that and go back to sleep for 23 minutes, the bmit takes a few minutes to fully wake up nowadays

  if my dog is standing on my chest making a hoarking sound, I’m out of bed on my way out the bedroom door yelling at her to follow me before the other one even gets up

  yeah I usually go work out while it’s running lol, or do some yardwork or something

  rely? no

  find it a useful assist? yes

  the Roomba can:

  • get under couches that my other vacuums cannot

  • deal with 90% of the average mess (dog hair and miscellaneous crumbs) without my input

  • pick up the little bits that you can never manage to sweep into a dust pan

  • do this within about 10-20% of the time it would take me to do it myself

  things it cannot do:

  • vacuum carpets

  • get into corners

  • deal with large messes

  typically, I will sweep crumbs and crap out of corners into the middle of a room. I do this all the way around this level of the house in under two minutes, which includes picking up the large clumps of fluffy dog hair that have accumulated along the walls and tossing them in the garbage and putting the broom back. I can then run the Roomba, and the only thing left to do after is brush/vacuum the carpets & rugs well.

  I also like the mopbot thingy because that definitely takes less time than doing it myself

  • that doesn’t turn the phone on silent

  • yes, they replaced the partial crop with AI select. same method of using it, worse feature

  • I’m on a relatively new phone, so it must be because Samsung sucks

  • the OCR button doesn’t undo, it just flashes and then reselects the same thing with the text highlighted

  maybe mine is buggy. either way, it’s still because Samsung sucks and the feature doesn’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refrigerator ads are finally here!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Samsung recently released UI 8 for Android, which had the astounding forward-thinking and innovative move of removing the ability to silence your phone by hitting the volume down button

  idk what phone I’m gonna buy next, but that’s the last straw with Samsung for me. I’m already sick of them changing features on the phone to make them worse, like how in order to do a partial screenshot (a feature I used to use a lot) you now need to click the button and wait a few seconds for the “AI” to think about what portion of the screen to select. you cannot skip this waiting period. you cannot disable this (that I have found). you cannot ‘undo’ when you draw a box around a section that includes text and it tries to helpfully extract the text for you instead of just fucking taking a screenshot of the highlighted portion of the screen

  fuck Samsung

  I really want a toaster oven. just not enough to have bothered to buy one

  I’ve got an air fryer that I use pretty often, but a toaster oven would be more useful to me. good to know there’s ones with convection / air frying ability now, neat

  I’m lucky to have tons of counter space for gadgets. and yeah not running the oven in the summer is fantastic, as I like it cooooold in the house

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I did it for six months straight around 7-8 years ago, and then on and off as required since.

  I was fine with it when I was enjoying work and my work had variety in it - I could do my regular day with a bit of OT in the office, then go build stuff with my hands for a few hours in the shop.

  At another job after that, 60s were more difficult because it was work from home, but I still did them as required because I could set my own schedule for the OT and half the time I was drinking and gaming simultaneously (some of the tasks required me to do something and wait on the computer to do compute). But still, the variety of work was key - I had to be able to change tasks and spend at least 10 hours on something that was interesting and different.

  A 60 hour work week is stupid, imo. It takes up far too much of your personal time. Like anything, you can do it for a period of time, but it isn’t sustainable as it starts to eat into other aspects of your life.

  It’s taken me nearly a year to transition away from a 50 hour standard week and constantly feeling like I should be working more. I had to learn how to just sit at home and do nothing, like drinking a coffee watching dawn come for ten minutes uninterrupted.

  idk just sharing my experience. summary is that it’s possible short term if you enjoy it, but you need specific circumstances to be met. I was lucky my job gave me autonomy and flexibility, it wouldn’t have worked otherwise. and obviously I got paid overtime, I’m not working for free. and at both jobs I felt like I was appropriately compensated. I quit the first job when they stopped compensating me appropriately. I toned down the extra work at the second in the same situation.

  I used to know someone who would regularly rate headaches/migraines as a 10 when I asked them how bad it was, and like, no, it’s clearly not a 10, because you’re standing up talking to me. A 10 is beyond curled up in the fetal position unable to open your eyes through the pain. I get that you are used to these headaches, and can overcome a lot of the pain - but that’s still not a fucking 10, that’s like a 6 or 7 at most. Lying about it means I can’t accurately judge how to help you.

  I’ve had tension headaches where I’ve spent hours on the shower floor in the middle of the night and I’d still rate them at most an 8 for the very worst ones where I couldn’t get up

  absolutely a brainded activity though. it and Bioshock are two different frames of mind when you’re playing them

  I would argue that selling a product that engineers need to create and maintain at great cost to the company (both monetary and in terms of frustration etc) and customer relations is in fact incompetence.

  or at least that’s how I see if from my own dealings with the sales guy at work. “okay yes I see you have an idea, but can we nail down a product definition, describe where we add value, and identify how it is different than these two other globally established products on the market right now?” nope, all he could do was be a little bitch about it. apparently he had customers lined up, though.
