kautau,

A flavor to surpass Sodium Chloride!?

I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...

kautau,

Now we’re in the realm of weird sound drivers from integrated chipsets. Thankfully sof-firmware exists

kautau,

It shouldn’t be, but it’s US law.

www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/wagestips

An employer of a tipped employee is only required to pay $2.13 per hour in direct wages if that amount combined with the tips received at least equals the federal minimum wage.

Fuck this law, and fuck employers that try to skirt around it when tips are too low. Also fuck employers in general who aren’t willing to pay their employees a living wage.

I tip for waiting jobs because I know people work for shitty employers and it’s their primary income source. But I hate the system, not the people who need tips to get by.

kautau,

But like is this for border patrol officers who can’t figure out their gps or migrants who ended up really far away from Florida

In this thread: people that think spices = spicy

kautau,

True, as a native English speaker, English sucks lol. There are a bunch of similar words but their meaning is different and they’re only to be used in certain contexts.

kautau,

Voila! The ZF-1. It’s light. Handle’s adjustable for easy carrying, good for righties and lefties. Breaks down into four parts, undetectable by x-ray, ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger, three thousand round clip with bursts of three to three hundred, and with the Replay button - another Zorg invention - it’s even easier.

I hate warriors, too narrow-minded. I’ll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would’ve immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.

kautau,

Agreed! Fifth Element is in my top 5 favorite films, and Gary Oldman is a big reason why.

Hey, what’s up, everyone? Mark Rober here. I’m beyond excited to share something I’ve been secretly crafting for the past month. Brace yourselves for the grand reveal of a life-sized maze that I’ve built for my girlfriend. It’s not just any maze; it’s an epic journey with twists, turns, and challenges at every corner. Now, here’s the kicker – if she successfully navigates this labyrinth, she’s in for a unique reward: seeds. Yes, seeds. Intrigued? Stick around as we embark on this maze adventure together, and let’s see if love blossoms in the heart of this green labyrinth. Get ready for the maze of a lifetime!

My goal when AI takes over is to still be gainfully employed as a prompt engineer

/s sort of

kautau,

Food gets weird when societies are running low on it. The UK loves plain canned beans in tomato sauce, which afaik came out of wartime necessity. Biscuits and gravy have a similar history with wartime necessity from the US revolutionary war. Some populations eat SPAM way more than others due to its wartime benefit as basic canned protein becoming a cultural tradition where US troops were stationed.

kautau,

I have not, tbh I’m not a huge fan of beans in tomato sauce. But I now will add “international black market bean smuggler” to my list of outlandish careers that I would try if the barrier to entry wasn’t so high.

kautau,

In a shitty ironic way, many neo-nazis are showing their really true colors as neo-fascists. They just want to support genocide and at this point, Jews are whiter than Palestinians, and they just want that same thing to happen against Black or Arab people around them. I’m happy to continue to use the word neo-nazi, but it’s a much broader spectrum of shittiness at this point.

kautau,

The thing that annoys me the most with this is powershell “modules.” Like the most recommended module to use powershell to update windows… just has a raw DLL in its repo

github.com/mgajda83/PSWindowsUpdate

The source code is just “run routines from this binary file, that you will never see the source code of”

kautau,

Yeah even in just local traffic, your body really doesn’t do well against a jarring 30mph throw or tons of solid steel pressing up against you. I’ve thought about buying a cheap motorcycle to go to the stores near me for awhile (Yes, I’m in the US. Yes, there’s no public transportation. Yes, I own a car) but honestly seeing drivers around me just driving my car once a week makes me not want to do it

kautau,

I feel like so many shit designs are just an extrapolation on what Dropbox did 6 years ago. Weirdly wide or narrow fonts, weirdly contrasting colors, etc

blog.dropbox.com

But this is just worse

kautau,

He’s basically saying what Google said. “It’s not Firefox, it’s for checking for adblocking.” But it’s mostly summarized here without me getting into why either are bad (which they are)
