It’s that bullshit when they take a vertically oriented picture/video, stretch it and blur it to a 4:3 ratio, and center the content over it.
Imo a waste of bandwidth and computer power for people who can’t cope with the idea of vertical content on a horizontal screen, on a platform primarily accessed by phones anyway.
Can’t you just read X instead?
I do wish I could have my tabs ordered by how recently I accessed them, instead of just opening them in the “next” tab, without an add-on.
Screenshot of a social media post with title “Always check your child’s homework”.
Below the title is a picture of an elementary school worksheet…the type with an area to draw on top and a writing prompt with a few blank lines below. From top to bottom:
A drawing, seemingly made by a child, maybe 6-8 years old. Drawing is of a woman wearing a crown with a glass bottle in one hand and a microphone in the other.
Below that, the prompt: “To relax, my mom likes to”.
Below that, the child’s response: “drink tequela and sing”
Mistaken spelling of tequila was present on the page. Personally, I like to think that if this is real, the child asked their mom without context how to spell the word, and she drunkenly stammered out the letters you see here.
I’m the inattentive type. My youngest kid is the hyper type.
We clash soooo much. His body does what my mind does.
Because you don’t want someone else using your toothbrush on your account. Do you?
The computers I remember in my libraries back in the early 90s didn’t use internet, but a private dial-in network with a text/menu-driven interface sort of like a BBS.
Eventually, when they moved to the internet, there was a bit when it was reachable over telnet…I don’t know if that was intended or not but it made it very easy for me to search the catalog from home. It was never advertised, I just happened to notice the address on the terminals at the library and figured I’d give it a shot.
This. Speed limit laws are bullshit and their selective enforcement is proof of it.
The dangerous drivers are the ones that are impeding the flow (i.e. going well below the speed limit when road/weather conditions don’t necessitate it; cruising in a passing lane, etc) or driving unpredictably/erratically (cutting people off, weaving, etc).
Not necessarily the speeders, though there can certainly be some overlap, particularly in the latter group.
But speeders are the ones that get ticketed over while those asshats just crash into schoolbusses.
Some sort of pigeon/chicken hybrid? With a diet high in carotenoids (like a flamingo)?
Chigeon? Picken?
As a dude whose in IT for a DoD contractor, you’ve got me questioning our internal threat standards.
I called corporate and they said they would put in a ticket with the landlord. What more can I do?
The dude literally has the power to define cool in his own image.
For good measure, you should skip breakfast and make sure you have a big lunch.
No reason to give your boss any of your breakfast tho. That’s on your time.
Were there multiple catapults, as well?
Have vendor take you out to lunch.
Walk into bosses office and regurgitate the lunch onto their desk.
Profit?
Make sure the vendor buys you a nice boozy drink. Some top shelf whiskey or something. Bosses love top shelf whiskey.
And make sure you get something that looks absolutely repulsive after you vomit it back up. I’d recommend a Greek Salad, extra feta.
Ootl…did the catapult incident involve a sex worker?
Yeah I got a USB wifi dongle that’s a bit tricky. It doesn’t work out of the box in most distros but there is drivers for it that do work, fairly well.
Anybody ever get Winmodems to work or did they all give up on it?
Back in the day, it was hard enough getting dialup internet working on Linux (especially before you had internet in your pocket, so you had to print out HowTos or write down a bunch of notes before you tried to do it).
But it was downright impossible with a class of modems that was designed essentially as a softmodem, heavily reliant on closed-source firmware and drivers, making them practically impossible to work on Linux.
Is that…The 7th Guest?
