Well Kingston, I'm going to try an RMA an SSD that I originally paid $70 for, and now retails for over $200.

May the odds ever be in my favour.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

You sure it wasn't Josh Duhamel or Timothy Olyphant?

I'm realizing that in Canada, the higher the municipality's elevation above-sea-level, the more they vote for federal conservatives.

So the more you grow up starved of oxygen, the more you vote for the Conservative Party of Canada.

Now it makes sense.

WHAT THE FUCK

Intrigued to see how Sergeant Major Shelby isn't digging tunnels in WW2.

My first playthrough was 160 hours. I'd covered most of the map and was just wandering in this sparce edge of it—figuring I'd seen basically everything and it was finally time to finish the main story.

Then I hit a tunnel to fukken BLACKREACH.

My jaw hit the floor. What a helluva game.

This isn't even fair.

Oh yeah, it's taking up only 2.5 GB of RAM when nothing's running. And about that much of storage space.

I can't believe I thought I needed to know how to code in order to use Linux. Linux Mint is easy as fuck.

Still waiting for the roadblock where I need to use Windows to run something. ⌚

Wild take: but maybe we should stop merging corporate conglomerates so their executives can make billions for doing virtually nothing?

Maybe we should let antitrust laws do their thing for once? Even by accident?

Hey, my HDDs keep spinning when not in use. Can I stop that?

*Googles*

I was today years old when I learned that Linux can be easier to use than Windows.

The Gem app has some decent stuff on it too

He's been trying so hard for 10 years to be more physically imposing that Trudeau after that boxing match.

Ironically projecting big Divorced Dad energy.

Took a little learning, but now have Linux Mint running off a $11 USB drive. Pretty good so far, especially because I'm just doing browser stuff 95% of the time?

The UI is mostly familiar too. Seems like a good transition GUI. Can't be worse than SAP (fuck you SAP).

Long live open source.

I read this as "Will you be my Palestine" and I couldn't stop laughing.

Take that Pizza Hut.

When I turned 20, I'd just lost my job, my full-ride scholarship, and failed 2nd year Engineering.
When I turned 30, I was again unemployed.
Now I'm turning 40, have a job, but living with my parents.

The lesson is life doesn't get better the next decade so go ahead and kill yourself.

After some careful consideration, I like to announce that my opinion on this post has stayed exactly the same.

Raiders of the Lost Arc was released in 1981. It's setting was 1936 (45 years prior).

If it were released this year, it would depict 1981. The year it actually came out.

You're welcome for the psychic damage.

Dear Tech Sector: please PLEASE stop making us use SMS two-factor authentication.

God help me if I ever have to change my cell phone number, because I would lose access to a ton of important shit.

Not to mention how vulnerable it is to SIM swapping and interception.

F U

Inner city businesses aren't failing because public servants are WFH. They're failing because their hours suck, the cost of living sucks, and no one can afford to buy shit.

What happens after RTO5 and these business are still failing? Does WFH come back?

So much for the post-strike promises.🖕

Oh shit, that's a pic I didn't know I needed

Uh, what the fuck? What do you mean you signed me up for the optional fun shit at work?

Without me knowing? Against my will? On a week that I can't do it because I don't have childcare that week?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck yoooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I've been advocating to get both for a while. The F-35 is more capable by orders of magnitude, but the Gripen can help rebuild the Canadian aerospace defence industry.

It'll be expensive as hell, and the growing pains will suck, but we've had multiple fighter platforms before. Time to do it again.

And like Queen, Sleep Token isn't well-received by a lot of people. Folks expecting metal get this weird pop music they hate, and people wanting moody downtempo pop/soul/electronica get these nasty mental instruments too.

It's growing on me!

*listens for a few hours*

Yeah I think I like Sleep Token now.

It's a good focus or study music. Part chill, part rock ballad, part prog, with a weird fusion of other genre-crossing styles (including elements I hate, admittedly). It's kind of like Queen, mixing non-traditional with metal.

Good shit that I didn't know about browser privacy.

Also, fuck you internet. I quit.

Aww man.

Yeah, I turned the crypto wallet thing off (for whatever good that does), but now I'm understanding the grift.

God damn it.

Wait, what? I thought it was supposed to do the total opposite of that. 😧

Still worked on Brave yesterday. (fake edit: Didn't realize the article already mentioned that)

Wish Brave Desktop could do picture-in-picture for more than YouTube, though. Guess I'll never get away from Edge.

I hated when they nerfed Smithing.

God damn son, it's a single player game. Don't make it harder and longer to get good you bastards.
