OrkneyKomodo, in What the fuck are bagged eggs?

If you were Polish, those would be your balls.

conciselyverbose, in What the fuck are bagged eggs?

Best guess literally a bag of precooked, pre scrambled eggs dumped in a warming tray for breakfast.

Kecessa,

Not precooked, but yeah

tegs_terry, in Is CCleaner still people's preferred computer cleaning app?

In a similar vein: Is spybot s&d still effective anti malware/virus?

hperrin,

Let me get you a copy of Ultimate Boot CD. Or, are you more of a Hiren’s BootCD user?

tegs_terry,

Is that a no?

Windows Defender does its job for “free”.

Willy, in What companies have made your blacklist?

I still deal with every company people here are listing. I even really like some of them despite the owners views etc. (if you make a good chicken sandwich and beat your wife, I’m still gonna eat that sandwich while hoping you go to jail).

I have not seen anyone mentioning Reddit yet though, and that kinda shocks me. I know it’s not the same as giving them a dollar but they’ve received no eyeballs, add revenue or obviously content from me since the exodus.

_danny,

I also eat at Chick-fil-A occasionally, but it’s mainly because there are so few places I actually like the food. I do feel bad each time because I know the profit from my meal is going to fund some pretty awful lobbyists. It’s not just giving money to a bigot, it’s giving money to a bigot who is very active in politics.

It’s increasingly hard to avoid that though. It seems like every single owner of each company in the fortune 500 is actively trying to drag us back into feudalism.

Valmond, in What companies have made your blacklist?

Microsoft.

To be fair I only have given them money (indirectly) once buying a gaming laptop with preinstalled windows.

There are lots of others of course, but who knows which brand is actually Nestle or Lactalis etc.

_danny,

If I could ditch them I would. I can’t fathom why people haven’t been in a constant state of outrage for them putting ads in Windows.

neidu, (edited )

Preinstalls is the only way I’ve paid Microsoft recently, and that was for two gaming PCs for my kids. Before that it was when I bought a laptop with preinstalled OS in 2009.

Only time i paid them directly was for the win98 upgrade license, which was objectively worth it since I could use my Win3.1 floppies as an upgrade starting point.

Now I’m a linux user. I only have windows on my work laptop.

fakeman_pretendname,

There’s a database of Nestle owned companies on f**knestle.art if you want to quickly remove a handful of secretly-Nestle products from your life.

morphballganon, in What companies have made your blacklist?

Any company with an ad that makes me wait or click more than once.

magnetosphere, in What companies have made your blacklist?

Very, very few. I figure that all large companies are awful in one way or another; the only difference is whether we know about it or not.

I prefer to shop locally when it’s an option. I like feeling as if my business genuinely matters.

tordenflesk, in Is CCleaner still people's preferred computer cleaning app?

BleacBit+winapp2ool

Paradachshund,

What do each of those do?

Illuminostro, in So Kissinger must have had use to someone? What did he do right and for who?

He ensured Defense Contractors keep rolling in money.

moody, in What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

I recently bought a Pinecil soldering iron from AliExpress, which is one of the main official ways of getting them. Very nice product.

elbarto777, in Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

Is there a question here?

iamericandre, in How do you discourage a dog from biting while playing?

Have plenty of toys around so when she starts to get bitey you can redirect it towards a toy which will help because she’ll learn “oh cool I can chew/bite this”. Also work on teaching her the word No or off/down. Really should be high on the priority list of commands to teach. You can also try wincing in pain like a dog would and that will sometimes indicate that they’re playing too rough and will stop, but that doesn’t always work. In fact with my dog it hardly worked when he was a puppy.

    Ringmasterincestuous,

    Well… I didn’t even know it was possible/a thing but you win Spotify my friend!

    That is something else!

    thenewred, in What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

    Diamond sharpening stones. Still waiting on mine but they were cheap and I got the grits I wanted. Somehow I keep ending up putting new edges on knives, chisels, and other blades. I hear diamond stones remove material faster.

    Sea_pop, (edited ) in Spotify Wrapped 2023 is out, what's your top artist and top song for the year?

    I use YouTube Music. Here is my recap:

    caesaravgvstvs,

    Upvote because you’re in Berkeley or Cambridge

    Sea_pop,

    Washington State. If you meant Berkeley, CA that would be closer than Mass.

    Redonkulation,

    That’s cool that YouTube started doing a recap. It’s fun.

    Sea_pop,

    I love it! My minutes played surprised me. 9% of my year.
