dingus,

Well I’m not able to make friends or relationships now so that but wouldn’t make a difference lol

I’m not really understanding why you’d need to convince anyone of anything? Why would you need to tell anyone you went back in time? All you need to do to become rich when going back in time is to memorize a winning lotto ticket or to invest in something that you know will make it big. Why do you think that you’d need to convince people you aren’t crazy or whatever you’re saying? Legitimately curious.

With going back and time, you could both become rich and change things and events from your past that you regret.

Idk. I’m not in IT, but I’ve always seemed to have a tendency to try to troubleshoot tech problems.

I help out my coworkers, parents, and even my younger sibling on occasion (he’s in his early 20s). If it’s solely an age thing, then you’d think I wouldn’t be doing it with those similar to my own age or younger than me.

At work I even figured out why our headsets (vital to our job) would intermittently fail and stop working, absolutely destroying our workflow. Our IT department couldn’t manage to figure it out. But I eventually found that it intermittently conflicted with a program on the computer (Microsoft Teams).

I’m absolutely no genius and my knowledge is probably rather minimal. But I think it’s a difference in attitude and affinity for the stuff.

One of the reasons why I don’t want to use a password manager, actually. If you get locked out of that, you’re fucked.

dingus,

I knew it! It was goblins all along!!

This reminds me. At work, I’ve had to help during rapid consultation procedures for surgeons while they are performing a surgery. It involves you cutting tissue microscopically thin with a very sharp blade within this specialized machine.

Well one day I am cutting and cutting and I just can’t get anything to work. It’s making a mess and fucking everything up.

I look down and realize I didn’t even have the blade in the machine lmaooo. I was trying to cut with blunt metal. What a goober move.

Brain farts happen!

dingus,

Can’t say I remember. It’s one of those songs that has been played every year for ages upon ages. Maybe around 10 or something.

dingus,

Lmao I also heard it as that and was so confused at wtf it was supposed to actually be

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

When I was a kid, I swear the lyrics sounded like “later we’ll have some fucking pie”, but it’s “later we’ll have some pumpkin pie”.

dingus,

You’re being down voted, but now you’ve got me legitimately curious…

Would anyone out there be able to explain what sort of additional features Sync has they makes it worth the price? I’ve been a Voyager (formerly weed) user practically since it was created and I think it’s a great experience.

dingus,

Yeah I have over a thousand songs in my Spotify playlist and I’m constantly searching for and adding new music.

dingus, (edited )

Nope, I could still smell and taste, although it was perhaps slightly diminished. I wish I would have lost my sense of taste briefly because the cough medicine I was taking tasted absolutely disgusting.

Maybe not totally related, but I think my sense of smell has always been not as great as other people, even before COVID. People will sometimes complain about a specific smell and I don’t always notice it.

dingus,

Can you explain for an ignorant person? Because to me it sounds like they just cannibalized someone.

dingus,

Yeah, I don’t mean to say that it’s a total scam…just that it’s ok to want to weigh your options to see what is worth it and what isn’t. Especially because braces ain’t cheap. And if someone doesn’t want it, then it’s appreciated to stop harping on them about it every single time.

I honestly have no idea what model the toothbrush was, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it had that sort of feature. Nice to have for some, but not something I seem to have a need for.

dingus,

Yeah, I had to switch dentists because of a move, and my current dentist won’t stop recommending me braces.

“It’s not just cosmetic. It will help the functionality and longevity of your teeth.” I mean, my teeth aren’t absolutely perfect, but they function and look fine to me. I have only ever had one other dentist mention that as a suggestion forever ago when I was a kid, and they didn’t keep harping in about it.

It makes me super suspicious about it because the last dentist I had never mentioned a thing about braces, and my current one keeps bringing it up unprompted. My current one also tried to sell me a $300 toothbrush.

Get a second opinion.

If you don’t want to figure out some awkward balancing techniques, you can just use a balance tube. Fill a tube with water to a similar height of the tube it opposes.

What are you browsing on? I’m also wondering if it could be a federation issue unrelated to whatever client you’re using.

dingus,

What does “the browser client” mean? I can see the gifs of the person you are responding to both when using Brave browser to access lemmy.world, and on my phone using Voyager.

dingus,

Why do you think that ended up as the top result?

dingus, (edited )

When I worked as a cashier in a grocery store many years ago, someone gave me some checks to pay their bill. I didn’t even look at the damn thing, just inputted the numbers it said and started running them through the check machine. It seemed to go through the machine correctly.

But just then the manager ran over and stopped the transaction. They were fake checks.

I guess silly me assumed things would just automatically not go through in the modern age, but I guess it showed me that I really have no idea how check machines like that work.

Still don’t, but I don’t work that job anymore so it doesn’t matter.

dingus,

I feel like I need glasses to see this meme

dingus,

That’s actually super interesting! I thought it would have been technical, but it looks like it just comes from someone’s name!

dingus,

These are all beautiful photos, but you keep posting them in the wrong community.
