“11+ years of service — 36 months’ salary”

Man, I wish my company would do that, I’d resign, pay off my house! 😉 I’d even have money left over!

I heard a story about an octopus escaping into a library and was found fumbling through the books.

I can only imagine if it comprehended what it was looking at… “Oh, crap, THAT’S what they use ink for!”

And they do all that with a CRIMINALLY short lifespan. 😟

“For example, the Common Octopus, Mimic Octopus, and Blue-Ringed Octopus live for around 12 – 18 months whereas the Giant Pacific Octopus can have a lifespan of 3-5 years!”

Oh, shit, there’s 7 more Epstiens?

I went to school with a girl who swore the Bible was written in English, not translated… 🙄

Jesus fuck that’s a big octopus!

Usually I see them because there’s a super flaky user who creates new accounts, makes a bunch of posts in a variety of groups, then self deletes their account for some reason orphaning their posts.

So I get to remove a bunch of otherwise worthwhile posts because the user killed their account. Not sure what they think they’re accomplishing.

I think it drops off after a week? Yours was created on the 8th, so sometime after the 15th?

My favorite is one who would squirt water at lights to turn them off.

I bought chicken salad, ate some, and realized that there was no chicken in it and returned it.

“Your chicken salad is just ‘salad’.”

They apologized and refunded it.

Appears to be the same on the 2025:

According to the manual, there are 2 USB ports, a USB A port for power and a USB C port for media.

Have you tried the other port?

Sure I could see that being a Microsoft problem, but a bad app is not a Windows 11 problem.

That’s like saying nobody should use Linux because of the Shai-Hulud worm.

The Mailbird issue isn’t really a Windows problem either.

But I’ll totally give him the OneDrive bullshit.

It was hilarious, and less of a control issue and more of a “2 death scenarios executing at the same time.”

Way back in the day, Tomb Raider, there was this pit, with a break away floor, and water beneath it.

Fell, hit the platform breaking her neck, then the platform dropped her in the water, twitching and drowning. It was horrifying!

Yup. This. To the point where, playing FFVII the first time I was like “Oh, shit, better not give Aerith anything important…”

I don’t remember all the details, but yeah, dad went off to get help and died, but the car was found saving everyone else.

“The Wilderness Doesn’t Give a Shit About You”

People forget that #1 fact even in states that aren’t Alaska.

I remember, years ago, this tech writer driving with his family through Oregon. They went down the wrong road in winter because the GPS told him to and it damn near killed all of them.
