pearsaltchocolatebar,

Yes, and yes. Some people treat texts like instant messaging.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Same, but I keep upgrading my gaming rig and buying games on sale.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Not too bad. We had a tiny bit of snow and some ice, but didn’t lose power which was nice since we have reptiles and I was not looking forward to trying to keep them alive.

I also got to stress test my Freeze Meisters (exterior faucet attachment that drips water), and thankfully they worked.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

That’s why they’re buddies.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I like how archeologists never come to the conclusion that something could just be an art trend.

Everything has to have a useful purpose even though we all own stuff with no actual purpose.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Really? 'Cause you never think of those other two as having their shit together.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Might want to slap an NSFW tag on this.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I mean, it’s 98.6F on average. If it’s freezing that quickly then you’re looking at some extreme temperatures.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Standing on the bumper might be enough, especially if it’s the first piss of the day.

pearsaltchocolatebar, (edited )

Wow, Sounds like you really need to work on your time management skills.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

You’re more than welcome to downvote and move on.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Unfortunately, many jobs that do this are salaried exempt.

Now, whether they are miss categorized is a different story. That’s why my wife’s old workplace is going to get some attention from the IRS and DOL when she finishes her month’s notice.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Because you run the risk of corrupting files.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I mean, no. I’m not going to go dig up the syllabus for my econ classes just to prove a point.

You clearly don’t understand economics if you think paying for housing for 335,000,000 citizens is even remotely feasible without a major tax increases on everyone.

Communism is a nice thought experiment, but it’ll never actually work because humans are awful.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

They’re just children who expect everything to be hand fed to them by the government and have no sense of nuance. They look at the utopia that communism promises without realizing that humans are selfish and greedy animals, so it’ll never work.

These people are a good example of why echo chambers are a bad thing. They don’t stop to think about why their beliefs might be wrong.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I don’t disagree, but that platitude has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

Your comic said to cancel all rent and mortgages and give everyone a house, which is not even remotely economically feasible.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Not disagreeing, but the message of “cancel all rent and mortgages,” is silly and shows a clear lack of understanding on how the world works.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

The problem with a product like that is that there’s nothing stopping them from locking down their API to only work with their app.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I have a diy thermostat project (really a multi-zone hvac setup) that I might pick back up given what’s going on.

It kinda fell by the way side after my 3D printer started having issues.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

You can make a thermostat with a raspberry pi, a few sensors, and a relay board. They’re pretty simple devices.

Really, you don’t even need a pi. An ESP8266 would be more than sufficient.

Source: I made my own thermostat from an esp8266, some sensors, and a relay board.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

That ended up being a router error. It was actually something like 1mb.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

That’s because actual hacking is actually pretty boring, from an external viewpoint at least.

pearsaltchocolatebar, (edited )

I guess tens of millions of people count as nobody.

Unless they don’t mean American football. That Jacks the number up to probably over 1b

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I’ve stopped answering my dad’s phone calls since he only calls for computer help.

My mom still gets help because she at least tries to figure it out before calling me.

Well, it’s hard not to beat zero effort.
