Subverb,

Understandable. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in.

Subverb,

Use kagi.com. By default it indicates pay walled sites and you can also block whole domains if you choose. Listicles are broken out separately and if you’re feeling ambitious Kagi supports regex-based redirects, so you could redirect paywalled domains to a paywall bypass website.

Subverb,

They’re right. Few buy First Class tickets because the uptick in comfort and service from Business Class is tiny for the increase in cost. I fly Business but would never pony up for First.

Subverb,

I’m a Boomer. Born in 1964. I’ve gotten a lot more liberal as I’ve gotten older. Went from Libertarian to Bernie supporter.

Don’t write us all off.

Subverb,

This is an iconic photo, but widely known to be staged. The milkman is the photographer’s assistant in borrowed attire.

Subverb,

I’m happy as a clam with my 1984 loud as fuck IBM Model M keyboard in Windows.

Think you need a Windows key? CTRL-ESC. I use CTRL-ESC even on modern keyboards.

Subverb,

Screw pulling it out. I want to know how it got there.

Current and Former (Fast) Food Service Workers - How do you handle requests like “All the fries you can give me”?

Just curious as I’ve never been on the other side of the counter, how does this sort of thing tend to work at restaurants? Fast food and fast-casual places are where I’ve heard customers say things “pile as much lettuce on there as you’re allowed to” - is there ever a limit your supervisor instructed you for things...

Subverb,

Growing up in the 70s my great aunt used to eat half a yellow onion with dinner almost every night. She’d cut an onion in half and plunk it on her plate with whatever she had made for dinner. I saw her peel an onion and eat it like an apple once.

Subverb,

I wish I could pi-hole.

I use NextDNS and it’s good for my devices, but Google sponsored links won’t work with it. Sometimes I have to turn it off temporarily to get something done.

Also, my wife works from home in social media. I can’t really block ads network-wide because she needs to see them.

😕

I was 30 when this went down. It’s hard to overstate what an impact the events and subsequent trials had on the American phyche at the time.

It had everything. Murder, California, cars, celebrities, sports figures, wealth, lawyers, drama galore for months years to come.

Subverb,

Or as we Americans call it, “brunch”.

Subverb,

Fucking Darlene. Did you try her sugar cookies? She clearly didn’t mix the baking powder with the milk again.

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

Subverb,

My 19 year old stepson set his gmail address when he was 13. It contains the phrase “anal beads” and the number 420. He hates it when I bring it up.

Subverb,

The employee didn’t put it there, but they sure do whip that thing around to let you use it fast enough though.

Subverb,

I’m 59; born in 1964. Unfortunately, I was born in the last year of the Boomers.

Just a quick ChatGPT query, sorry.

Subverb,

I’m 59 and technically a Boomer so… You know I’m out of the loop.

Subverb,

I don’t get it.

Subverb, (edited )

Yes, I only learned I was born in the last year for boomers a couple of ears ago. I was pretty shocked.

I use this as my reference. .

I was born in October of '64. Tippy tail of the Boomers.

Subverb,

I do hate the new web based experience though. The executable client is very good.

Subverb,

I run a small business, but I’m also I’m an embedded systems developer on ARM processors for my products. Our toolchain is Windows-specific. That and the Adobe suite which I also need for my business keep my primary work machine Windows.

My laptop is Linux but even that creates occasional hassles with my work flow and presentations.

Subverb,

I was born in Southern Arkansas and have lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for 40 years. I consider myself a Southerner, not a Midwesterner. But that’s self-reported.

The joke here goes “You know why Texas doesn’t slide off into the Gulf of Mexico? Because Oklahoma sucks so hard.”

But truth be told, Tulsa is a pretty nice place to live. About half a million people and fairly progressive for a “Southern” state. And while many of the the hardcore conservatives moved to Texas, you still see a lot of Trump flags here.
