in other words. they can’t find any legitimate issues with the mayor of new york and how he’s governing and presenting himself to his constituents and the public, so they came up with this line of bullshit about thermostat settings.

updates, sure. let discover or gnome software do 'em.

my debian won’t break the system.

to install, though? i’d rather see exactly what’s going on. i don’t always want to bring in every tom, dick and recommend. i use aptitude.

it’s the most convenient, but i still use my winrar for some things, mainly some of the self-extractors i build and when i want recovery bits.

the pdf says a sub domain. which is something that could be provided by a single domain on an existing tld.

it’s so much easier to just send the command over the always-on cellular link.

back in the early days of walkmans, you could call 'em up toll-free, say you lost the battery cover or the headphone cable is broke, and they’d send you a replacement. no worries about ‘warranty’, no cost to you…

we used to (retired from that work now) deal with those ai generated notes. they are horrible, error filled, and could literally kill someone if they aren’t corrected in time by a human (the bit we used to do).

i wouldn’t mind being punished like that.

that is pretty lazy, especially on a pc where if you’d just have the energy to move a finger over to the right side of the keyboard to tap HOME once is all it would take.

slip-on shoes aren’t just for little kids, the elderly, or others that can’t tie shoes.

they. are. awesome.

i always loose-tie my sneakers anyway so they could be slipped-on and off easily, but stretchy ‘no tie’ laces are a huge upgrade from that.

hardly any ‘salutes’ to the screen, but definitely some uh… ‘verbal exchange’ happening. usually several times a day, and you wouldn’t want children nearby if i’m really on roll because windows fucked something up big time. aaaaand, occasionally to and at myself because every now-and-then it truly is my fault.

my boss (of 20+ years) abuses an old core2duo era desktop (8gb ram and sata ssd, both upgrades from original specs when 10 was put on) with 150+ tab firefox plus word and excel and voice software all going at once. never shuts down, never closes an application. sleeps, wakes, hibernates on weekends. it just keeps going. she’s never had any problems and it runs really well. she’d be bitching if it didn’t.

like the ‘other side’ would do better with gnolf

(actually, gnolf does exist but it’s not from them and it isn’t gtk, it’s windows but seems to run ok with bottles)

last night i put something in the fridge while doing the dishes. i went back to the dishes. i noticed then that the door of the fridge didn’t quite close all the way.

i did that very same thing–i’ll close that when i’m done here.

i didn’t.

i remembered the next afternoon when i went to the fridge to get something.

selling at a higher price to fewer customers. they’re probably still making more money.

and older american made full size sedan or pickup, perhaps. those had ‘real’ horns and not little ‘beep beep’ like my old datsun and toyota had.

i used to be an assistant in corporate hr in the mid 1990s… we had locations in several dozen states plus mexico, but all of hr was in the main office. we’d fly candidates in, put 'em up in a hotel, provide transportation to and from airports and interviews, as well as a generous per diem for meals. they ‘made’ more in a day off that (even factoring-in a reasonable meal budget) than i made in a week.

his name is BoJack Horseman

or they never got it in the first place. verizon loves to munch on sms here on the work phone.

i run several mass-market consumer model laptops with the lid closed. as long as the vents aren’t obstructed, not a problem here. mine are all lower-wattage soc with integrated gpu, though; the most demanding one that’s on 24/7 is still only ~ 15w cpu at 100% load, and it never runs at that; it rarely even throttles up from the 800mhz it idles at. i stand them on end so the vents are clear, and use some lego to enforce spacing between 'em.
