I’ve worked too many places where “b” is absolutely the answer. Even small companies that you’ve probably never heard of where management is drinking the koolaid. They usually don’t like being asked why someone would actually pay for whatever bullshit they’re selling. The answer, almost without exception, is because one of their CEO buddies told them it was a good idea.

Windows 7 was peak Windows, at least from a usability standpoint.

I’ve found LLM’s to be pretty decent at writing one-off scripts for boring tasks. “Baby wipe scripts.” Use them to clean up the shit and throw them away.

Checking out at the liquor store

Cashier: “Can I see your ID?”

Me: “Awww. I hardly ever get ‘carded’ anymore. It feels kind of nice.”

Starts to pull out wallet

Cashier: “Oh, nevermind. You’re good.”

Me: “…Listen here you little shit. You started this whole thing. Now I’m going to show you my ID anyways and you’re going to act surprised like ‘OMG! I could have sworn he was 22! I didn’t even notice his bald spot.’”.

Large commercial HVAC package units often have an option called an “economizer”. It’s just one or more dampers that allow the unit to exchange inside air with outside air. A typical use case is when the unit gets a call from the thermostat for AC and outside air temp is lower than the room temp.

It’s more for heating and cooling efficiency than air quality. Its also very rare for homes to have this kind of setup due the added cost and the fact that, at least in the US, package units are much rarer in residential installs. Fresh air circulation systems are a custom job which means $$$.

There are. They are just not currently traded on any stock exchange. That doesn’t means you can’t buy them.

I’ve been using Porkbun for years. No complaints.

Well, Budweiser and Busch are both owned by AB InBev. But I guess that’s that level of awareness one can expect from bigots.

Chugs can of Bud Light. Tosses can in water.

“Ah don’t wear a seatbelt because muh sisters cousins friends uncles neighbors mechanics grandaddys brother died while he was wearing a seatbelt and couldn’t get out of the vehicle in time to avoid the freight train that he was too blind and deaf to see or hear coming.”

The average Linux evangelist on Lemmy vastly overestimates the tech-saviness of the average person.

TIL PhotoBucket is still around.

You can’t explain that!

I have to use Outlook for work. It’s difficult or impossible to find the features that were actually useful in the new Outlook.

I still use old Outlook because at least it actually works.

“Experts say power plants ‘burn coal to convert water into steam.’”

I mean, does anyone really know how these things operate?

Testosterone supplements and baby wipes for men.

I’m running Shareaza in Crossover Linux on Mint. It actually runs pretty well.
