- Comment on Windows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive 1 hour ago:
Yaah… naah.
I’d just pull the drive, reinstall on a new one, redownload the games and go merrily on my way. I have ZERO on the machine that is so important that I’d do anything other than that.
NGL, it’s current install is getting a bit cluttered since the last time I redid it with a full erase and reformat, so it wouldn’t be too terrible.
I don’t even have an email account set up on the device.
- Comment on Google Search referrals to the web have plummeted, AI links are 'less than 1%' of traffic 7 hours ago:
Yes! I wasn’t looking for whether it existed, I knew it did, but it was in a .sit file with an abbreviated name. Also apparently was an aplha build, so maybe that’s why the AI insisted it did not exist. Was looking for the last version available for the classic OS as I had one of the earliest.

Kinda grim definitely. Rather like life.
- Comment on Windows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive 8 hours ago:
Truth.
Am still clinging to Win 10 Pro. Since I mostly game with the PC, and watch videos with that machine… do I really need to upgrade the OS as long as the games run? At least at this point, I won’t get a gaming session interrupted by an update anymore, which is nice.
- Comment on Google Search referrals to the web have plummeted, AI links are 'less than 1%' of traffic 8 hours ago:
I have classic apple computers.
I also maintain a small list of sites I visit to get abandonware programs for them. Of the times I’ve used the AI results, I found what I was looking for fewer than 15%. At one point, I had the AI telling me there was no such thing as Winamp for Mac, while I was running it in MacOS 8.6 under the virtualization program, Sheepshaver.
Seriously?
AI’s got so little ability to sort through archived knowledge and pull up old links and sources, it’s as if anything before 2006 never existed.
Nuts to that.
I hit up ten blue links and have never looked back.

LOL! Yeah, that’s about it…
On the other hand, thank you for posting this picture. I actually just spent 15 minutes going down the Ecce Homo rabbit hole. What a story, this disaster of a restoration turned into an absolute boon for the town.

The magic here is you always have the option in most game settings, to turn it off.

NGL, fat titties SUCK when it’s blazing hot and you’ve got a scorching yeast infection eating the skin under your girls.
Intertrigo… SO not worth having fat titties.
- Comment on Anyone know where I can buy or get books by the pound to start a new library for our local jail. To help them read and prep them for a GED? 5 days ago:
Thrift shops, yard sales… also local libraries often release their old books when new copies come in, so that’s an angle to investigate…

- Comment on YSK you can fold fitted sheets neatly (guide by ratfactor) 1 week ago:
Heck yeah. You have more room in your trunk/drawer/shelf when everything’s folded up neat and tidy.
I have used the quarter sheet fold method for my fitted sheets for decades. Mom taught me that particular witchcraft.

Shit… you’re all pups…
I was on whatever the hell the network was between Stanford and the elementary schools in Palo Alto in the mid 1970’s and cut my online teeth on an IBM Teletype 33!
(Now we’re talking “old school.”)

- Comment on What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify? 2 weeks ago:
They’ll be closed and turned into bistros like the ones in my city have been. Actually pretty cool to go dine at, and be outside and sheltered, what with the steel canopy where the pumps were…

Of course it is, if you enjoy the scent of hot steamy piss.
- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 2 weeks ago:
God’s honest, I do not know! I was sitting in a cafe and trying to peck out a reply and the network was throwing a wobbler. All I recall is at the time the page wasn’t responding when I went to post. I did actually have something written in the comment!
Weird.

- Comment on Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare. 3 weeks ago:
Well I nipped that bitch in the bud.
Just came in from shoveling the driveway - AND did the street margin up to the walkway of my house, leaving the curbstone exposed, so that the plow drivers will know where the edge is. Had a city worker come along and go tightly along the curb and got the stuff I’d chipped loose, so that was WAY hella nice of him. Get that road-crusty wet shit outta the way.
I will likely go out in another 5 hours and clean the space up where my husband parks, so he can just come in tonight after work with no problem.

NGL, any time by a fire is nice. Snow or not.
- Comment on Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare. 3 weeks ago:
It’s not “heavy” snow - that is lots and lots of it… it’s heavy wet snow that is the absolute fucker.
So far this winter, here in coastal New England, it’s been powdery and cold. Easy-peasy to shovel.
Love it!
