Jack is minimally lossy. It would change the audio just from the DAC operation and the noise floor but otherwise be pretty good.

You have to watch an ad to crank your car.

Every time you bring your car to a full stop while it is running, an ad plays through your audio system and displays on your radio.

You have to watch an ad to make a phone call.

When your phone rings, it plays an ad jingle, call JG Wentworth 877 cash now.

When you send a text message or write a text post to an online system, an ad is injected with your text post so that readers in order to read what you wrote also have to read the ad.

If you have Smart lights or anything smart in your home, in order to use it you have to watch an ad.

In order to pay for something with a credit card you have to watch an ad on the credit card machine and click one of the choices that are offered to you.

Smart pillows that play hypnotic ads at you in your sleep.

Your electric toothbrush requires an ad to be played the whole time it is being used, and if you brush your teeth for less than the length of the ad, then they take a dollar from you.

Some guy comes to your house and screams logos and add quotes at you all of the time. If you try to get him to shut up he murders you and your entire family.

Replace the guy with a robot.

I used to have very long hair and from this behind or beside people would call me ma’am and then when I turn to look at them they would correct themselves and say no I said man man.

But I’ve been incredibly fortunate, if I’ve ever Miss gendered anyone either the person I misgendered was kind enough to let it slide or didn’t make a big deal out of it.

It’s very much a nothing Burger in my life.

I wrote it out as if it were the spec script plot of a movie.

Guys out with his friends watching the eclipse and all of a sudden some other guy walks up behind him puts an umbrella up and covers over the view right at the apex of the eclipse. He turns to look at that guy and the guy says don’t look at the Sun. As soon as he says that all of the main characters friends suddenly explode in a puff of dust.

The guy starts freaking out and then eventually they end up working their way back to the house as he has the other guy the angel explains what is going on

It’s the end of days. the eschaton. And the Sun is claiming every single person it can.

This guy claims to be your angel. To prove it he shows obviously hobbycraft Dollar store wings and a Halo that’s clearly being supported by a strand.

The guy says that there must be something going on I’m going to look at my phone as they’re driving around and right as he’s about to open up the news the guy slaps the phone down and it says don’t look at your phone.

As someone who freezes the video should be able to see a picture of the eclipse on the phone, from a camera stuck pointing up at it and everyone who looks at it to turn it off instantly explodes

Why did the angel save the man? Is the Angel actually an angel? What things happen?

The angel says that the guy is not exactly the best dude in the world. And given that is the end of days this is the last chance you’ll have to make everything right and the angel kind of goofed off a little bit so you know I got to figure out a way together to get him into heaven so that the angel also gets to go to heaven and to do that they’ve got to do some good deeds really fucking quick, well everyone that even catches a glimpse of a reflection of the eclipse Sun immediately explodes into dust.

Your powers of deduction are sherlockian and uncanny

I only have four fingers and a thumb but I have three penises and two vaginas and six titties.

Yeah realistically you’re talking about a team of 10 to 30 people whose entire job is to give the final thumbs up or thumbs down to an ad.

You’re talking one to three million dollars a year, maybe throw an extra million on for the VP.

Chump change, they just don’t want to pay it cuz nobody’s forcing them to

There is a small chance that it is on Disney Plus, but I don’t have a Disney Plus subscription anymore so I can’t verify, I just know that they purchased studio Ghibli.

I’ve seen it once, and I seem to be practically psychologically unable to cry, so rather than crying I walked around feeling like I was carrying a hundred pound millstone around my neck for about 4 days.

It’s a beautiful movie with every last single one of the studio Ghibli traits that you have come to know and love.

But it’s not a cartoon for little kids. I highly recommend that you watch it at least once if you haven’t, just don’t let your kids watch it until they are adults.

You could also put on one man bukkake shows

My guess is that if you’re going to start a MSP you can do that with Foss and probably have a lot of success as long as you’ve got the sales chops to get the contracts.

Then you can funnel some of your customers money to foss well also increasing awareness and adoption of the better free and open source software programs

Most of the small to mid size companies that I have worked for would choose a larger more established system that costs more even if it offers less over a self-hosted one that they had to pay some sort of fee for.

Is like this weird idea in the business world that if you’re using Foss systems that it must be completely free, and that the reason why you are using it is because you are broke or cheap.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

It’s such a gem of a movie, hits all the right notes

I don’t care if you’re on or off the Taylor Swift hate train, but this is freaking funny.

There’s something incredibly invigorating about using a blend of Listerine and hot sauce as lube

I mean wasn’t season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn’t enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.

I think it was Confucius that said that society is best when the laws are simple and people understand the laws.

I mean what do we need with 5,000-year-old Chinese mysticism when we’ve got Elon musk shoving metal pellets into your medulla oblongata that can play ads at you in your dreams?

If your old phone has a removable battery, you can sometimes replace them with an appropriate capacitor.

That will eliminate spicy pillows from the mix but also eliminate battery backup, so if your power goes out you will need to manually turn them back on.

Everything turns to shit whenever a metric becomes a goal, and multiply that by Infinity whenever that goal involves making money.

Ads are the worst thing about the internet. There’s not an option to escape them under any circumstances and when you use things like adblock people crawl out of the woodwork to tell you how you’re stealing money from people.

I’m sorry, I’m paying for the service of accessing the internet. How I do so should be my decision and not somebody else’s under any circumstances, so long as I am not breaking the law.

I work in it and one of our employees brought a laptop to us that had been completely and thoroughly dismantled with a screwdriver.

She told us that she wanted to remove the hard drive but she couldn’t find it.

It had a flash hard drive that had been detached from the board was sitting next to the Wi-Fi card.

Me and the other it guy just kind of like looked at each other for a minute and then got her a new laptop.

To be fair she was due for an upgrade anyway, but I’ve never had anyone dismantle their soon to be recycled devices.
