I live a couple hours from Niagara Falls, and we used to go into Ontario a lot when I was a kid. This whole thing breaks my heart.

It used to be a pretty friendly experience, and now we have a twat for a president who, in a matter of months, has blown up a centuries-long relationship between us . I promise you that there are plenty of us down here who don’t want any of this, and most of us are trying to figure out how we can put a stop to all of this.

I have definitely considered this. Which hypervisor do you use?

Nah, fuck Windows 11. I’m in the beginning stages of a win10 migration to Mint, and as soon as I understand how things actually work beyond the install, MS will be completely out of my life.

“We’ve investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong.”

Where does this assumption come from? I grow a garden full of hot peppers every year and spend all summer eating them.

I only put brown mustard on hotdogs, so I think at that point I would just eat a hot dog on a bun covered in Mac and cheese.

I loathe ketchup with every fiber of my being. Other people can use it however they want, but it truly ruins food for me.

Nothing, because if someone puts ketchup on my pizza, it’s going straight in the trash.

Not exactly a replacement for Starlink, and it’s not ready yet, but Vodafone just announced buildup of a European direct to device service.

Full disclosure, AST Spacemobile is a US company directly competing with Starlink in this space.

So a quick thought experiment. If Bezos personally funded another $300,000,000 Amazon Bond flop out of his own pocket, he could actually do that almost 700 more times before he was only a singular billionaire.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is pretty damn good imo.

This is were I learned that xbox controllers don’t use the standard Bluetooth protocol but a proprietary one.

Is there a source for this? I play a few time vampire games on my iPad and use my xbox controller BT paired with it just fine. Haven’t had a single issue in a year or so.

This guy was a constant pain in the ass, but that’s not a fireable offense. Spilling liquids without marking it off or telling anyone in a high traffic tow motor area can kill someone, so that is fireable. Honestly him getting walked out made everyone in the plant immediately safer.

I was working at a chemical plant, and had my tow motor license for about a week. We had these garage doors that stayed closed most of the time to keep everything compartmentalized in case of a fire. I was driving along with a pallet on the forks, and some asshole spilled water and didn’t put up the wet floor sign or even attempt to clean it up.

I hit the brakes, went sideways, and absolutely destroyed the bottom 3 panels on this garage door. The bags on the skid I was carrying ripped open and made a huge mess, but thankfully what I was carrying didn’t react to water. My manager went back and looked at the tape recording and found the guy who did it. Then he made him clean up the mess I made, and fired him when he was done. The whole thing was scary as hell.

“Withstand voltage” is what got me.

Who knows, fascism. Maybe in a thousand years, even you will be worth something.

How much concrete did they pour to build the infrastructure needed to host the games? I’d really like an analysis of that and the carbon footprint left behind by a few dozen AC units over a couple weeks.

I don’t think it’s illegal (at least in the US), but it’s a great way to have your best talent split for greener pastures while the mediocre and lesser talented employees hang around forever.

I work in the same industry as Dell and turned down a job there for a reseller who will let me work remotely in perpetuity.

7/10 meme, I got a chuckle when I saw “mandatory voluntary “

Jfc, this again. Refusing to support the dropping of bombs all over a population ≠ supporting Hamas. You should delete everything you said after the word “but” and just leave it at that.

Ah yes, you’re one of those people. “We should legislate what people do with their own bodies because I don’t like their decisions”

You people are already ruining the US, so now let’s do it to the world. Except that it was mentioned in the article that this was legislated and settled over 20 years ago where she lives.
