This makes me so glad I stopped shopping there a long time ago, that sounds like a horrid experience. And if any store I shop at pulls that and I have literally any other option, I won’t be going back for more

Disagree, it’s petty theft at absolute worst, and there’s no good reason to react that way to it.

Give the option to pay or return it, make note of the person so if they make a habit of it you can respond, but this is just ridiculous

Thank you!

Like, I’ve been turned back to pay for items that a cashier missed without cops being called and they didn’t arrest (or fire) the cashier either. There’s really no reason to go straight to “arrest for theft”

No, the malfunctioning scanner did not cause this… The aggressive policing of these types of errors is what did. When it became clear the items weren’t scanned, they should have turned her back to go pay for them, not arrest her right then and there

How so, out of curiosity?

Yes, kind of.

I shorthand it verbally unless I’m giving a full date, but typed, it’s almost always yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss (whichever part of that is relevant).

I do this because I believe it’s the most logical, it sorts properly without having to use a datetime library, and it can’t be confused with another system (is 12-1-2026 in the future or the past? No way to know just by looking at it).

Just shortening it to MM-dd could cause confusion with anyone not in the US so I’ll typically include the year as well (also useful if I wind up having to look at old notes or emails to not have to figure out the year I meant … Which has happened more than once …)

Microsoft, you don’t have to keep selling Linux to me, you’ve already convinced me

Yes, if by “normal poop” you mean “firehouse of the most horrific liquid imaginable”

If you do, you may also need to get EU versions of the games… I don’t know if they’re still region locking them but at the very least used to be a common practice

So, TACO Tuesday?

Doesn’t mean they won’t try though

I dunno, that thumb looks pretty malformed to me

The best healthcare in the world can only do so much, especially when the patient isn’t following doctors orders. He’s already likely had multiple TIAs and a stroke, and has openly admitted to taking more aspirin than prescribed because he wants to keep his blood nice and thin.

He might live into his 90s, but I think he’s more likely to not make it to 2028 at this rate.

Better use a rotating OTP token MFA, too

An eco-friendly dystopia

Probably at least as powerful as a raspberry pi

Is he though?

I love how they say they won’t save your private info, but nothing about whether the third party will

Or, in the case of Pete Hegseth, DUI hires

Feels like the meaning of “inflation” has been lost somewhere in there…
