Red button labelled PRESS FOR EMERGENCY

What kind of emergency do you think it’ll make when I press this

good morning tef!

_clears throat_ Tripl Lipa

and yes a car park just emailed me about this

As you get older and have used more online services, you eventually just get more and more “we’ve updated our terms of service!” emails until no other kind of email can survive in the wasteland of your inbox

Thank you both I now have 250. They immediately worked very well.

OKAY NOTED THANK YOU

I’M LITERALLY THERE AND THERE AREN’T ANY

They’re out of stock EVERYWHERE

Why is nobody talking about the great Jalapeño Popper shortage

I don't think my frustration is helped by the fact my desk faces a window receiving direct sunlight

The marks are _very_ apparent

Yes! That is why I now have five pairs. I decided a while ago that losing things is just part of life, so I now find the Optimum Saturation Point for objects - this is where the lost ones start turning up again - and buy that many.

Peter I love you but I feel like this is questionable advice

I hadn't considered soap and water but that does make a lot of sense, thank you

I am starting to accuse my lens cloths of containing smearing agents because one smear cannot possibly extend this far

Anyone who tries to touch my eyes will perish (I accept lasers are from a distance but still)

No

See this is great because I have been and now I know I am not losing my mind.

I'm new to the world of Wearing Glasses and how tf do people keep these things clean, I swear if I stop looking at them for 5 minutes they have fingerprints and dust on

My extremely hot take on this is that people who are pointing out that you can trick it by pointing a webcam at a screen with an AI generated face on it are missing the point: the verification only has to be "good enough".

Pointing out all the holes in it can only possibly make it _less private_.

That's right folks this is a niche reference to Hulk Hogan's Pasta Restaurant, Pastamania. Thanks for coming

He's Pastawaynia

Rest in peace. I reckon this post finished him off

Tweet from Mike Primavera, @primawesome on X: My neighbor told me coyotes keep eating his outdoor cats so I asked how many cats he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new cat afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding shelter cats to coyotes and then his daughter started crying.

reminds me of this

Sorry sorry I'm trying to delete it

The only solution here is for my employer to run me a 10gbit leased line with a static IP. That will fix it.

I have now had to explain who Hatsune Miku is to a colleague.

Email screenshot with vendor redacted. Body text: Heads up, An API Access Token (Hatsune Miku) has been used from a new IP address. If you do not recognize this ID your token may have been compromised.

I didn't realise the API token "Name" field would be emailed to all of my colleagues whenever my IP changed.

I will probably not learn from this
