I had a 9" HP mini 2140– the keyboard was surprisingly good given its size.

It’s just a shame the build quality matched the price and they fell apart in short order.

Psh, as a leftist I’ll have you know we’ve done a lot more than complain. We went to a few protests, wrote a couple emails, and boycott stores we hardly shopped at in the first place.

There is a male loneliness problem. The meme is making fun of the toxic dickheads that are part of the problem and lack the self awareness to realize it.

“Why don’t the people I treat like shit like me?!”

Jack D. Ripper had it right.

Just get them on motorcycles.

One day you’ll wake up and realize people born on the year you graduated school can legally vote, drink, etc. A short time later those kids have kids of their own … and you are ( or are old enough to be ) a grandparent.

The worst part is you’ll still mentally feel like you’re not much older than your late 20s or 30s.

You can’t get a manual gearbox here any more.

Huh, let’s see why

Another factor contributing to the discontinuation of manual transmissions is the increasing emphasis on safety features and the integration of advanced driver-assist technologies.

Ew.

Buy why is it human? I’m just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.

Technology has never been the problem: there’s nothing wrong with genetic engineering, AI, etc. They can (and have) been used for good.

The problem has always been the “greed is good” sociopaths using it for evil.

Noodles are composed mostly of starches and heat causes gelatinization: which gives noodles their texture, taste, and holds them together. It also kills off any pathogens, which is a good things since it’s fairly common for raw flour to be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella.

Cold water causes them to revert back to wet flour.

How many of your Amazon purchases are things you actually need?

I deleted my Amazon account entirely – my kindle is a paperweight now. It sucked, but between Amazon and all the other retailers I refuse to do business with my impulse buying has dropped to near zero. Any non essential want has an added barrier to buying it now – and that’s not a bad thing.

Yes: some of the things I buy are a bit more expensive now, but I’m actually spending less overall.

I don’t get why people get upset at frequently expiring passwords. It’s not hard: just write it on a postit note and stick it on your monitor.

I flew from Jermany to Tanzania and saw some jeriatric jiraffes.

I say it “Jif” because:

• That’s what the format’s creator named it.
• It’s weird, but “soft G” is a thing and acronyms and the only “rule” for pronouncing acronyms is “it’s easy to say”.
• It annoys people that are way too invested in it. Sure, it’s immature – but it’s low stakes and not particularly “shitty”. I enjoy it and you only YOLO once.

Maybe they’re a kid?

Connect the TV to wifi, then go into your router’s settings and block it. It’s usually under “Access Control” or “Security”.

Projectors come with their own set of issues, but at least you can still get a really good one without all the “smart” features.

A set of torx screwdrivers and an exacto knife will take care of that. Pretty hard for a cellular modem to transmit data when the traces to the antenna are cut.

“Freedom Fries”

Every city in the western world already has at least one rack of servers running 24/7. The have their own domain names, they have a web presence, etc – running a mastodon instance on existing infrastructure hardly qualifies as wasteful.
