“It’s a big club! And you ain’t in it.”

I wish he’d stop getting any kind of attention at all. He is a fraud.

Yep we have on average 125 shootings that result in fatalities per day and 2 mass shootings.

Very similar to my account.

My ex was horsing around with her dog in the yard. Broke her leg in three places when she tripped over him. Freakish shit can happen.

Soap is caustic no matter how much goat milk and whatever bullshit they put in it here, and I have very sensitive skin. Go ahead and leave some on your body for a few hours without rinsing and report back when you see for yourself.

I’ve come to understand that most of my habits aren’t normal. But, why not get it over with in the nice, warm atmosphere after toweling off?

Convo with my wife:

“There’s something wrong with the lotion in the shower. It’s burning my skin like Nair or something.”

“??? What lotion?”

“The big bottle that says goat milk on it or whatever.”

“Honey, that is body wash.”

Real rich coming from the “fuck your feelings” crowd. Get fucked, Raphael Cruz. We’re not stopping until he’s yeeted into the sun.

I had a guy busy moving his family across the US when they cancelled remote work. Management decided to do layoffs while they were en route. He was on the list. At the time, I was actively interviewing to GTFO of that place and when we were chatting about work stuff I brought up that a position I saw at one would be perfect for his skill-set. He seemed worried and confused by my insistence that he apply. Anyway, as expected he showed up and they canned him before I could even walk in the door. But he got the other job and ended up loving it.

Gentoo is fantastic for learning. It forced me to get intimate with internals I had no exposure to before. And I learned a lot of little tricks from it that accelerated my career. Or at least made it easier.

I’d try to find something a bit more beefy if you plan on compiling almost everything. And once you get it where you like it, take a backup or system image you can restore to. Because when it breaks, it’ll be a lot less painful to start over.

My old Thinkpads and even my first iPad had SIM slots. I kinda miss that as it’d be much more handy now. LTE and the precursors were painful to use at the time.

But the characters in Idiocracy meant well, they were just idiots. These fuckers are straight up evil idiots.

Audio gear. Car parts. Laptop. All were due for an upgrade anyway.

Oop optics are down gotta spin some bullshit that they’ll “forget” they did when flip flopping creates “weak leadership” headlines later. Back and forth.

Reminded me of a typical argument between me and my delusional, selfish, narcissistic parents as a teenager. Saying anything at all would make them throw a tantrum.

Trump and Vance did the same type of thing: expected complete fealty after they had voted against Ukraine to join NATO and demanded respect when the previous administration were the ones that did most of the work beforehand. Getting pouty and shouty when he didn’t agree to their shitty “deal.” Brought up meaningless arguments about “respect” and not saying thank you when he had multiple times. Utter madness.

This was about putting on a show for their constituents and they would have done the same if he went in there kissing their asses. But he refused to play the game which made them angrier.

Vance bringing up the conspiracy theory shit about Zelensky putting on a show for visitors as if he was exaggerating is what really set me off. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together saw right through this bullshit song and dance.

I’ve had to use it for a week now. It has the most braindead, unintuitive UI I’ve ever seen. Unbelievably inefficient. So much wasted space. Parts that don’t make any sense at all. Notifications are a crap shoot. It crashes during conferences and blows through memory like mad. Whoever signed off on this trash is certifiably insane. Skype was uglyish and clunky but at least it worked.

They have tools that let you cross-post effortlessly, so that’s strange.

No prob. Been there. Hope you eventually get it all sorted out.

Lenovo artificially inflates the [M]SRP and has fake “sales” to make it seem like you’re getting a good deal. Never ever trust that.

As you discovered there is often one single person working on getting these devices compatible. As an example the OpenBSD team and others will sometimes suggest you donate a system in order for anything to happen. And even then there are no guarantees if blobs are involved.

This is a pretty big goof up but I’ve made the same mistake when the x200 first came out. I think you’re getting dragged because what people are curious about is what specifically isn’t working. I’m surprised it’s working at all but then again John is a beast.
