  • Why are people here saying that “Blizzards” are “Milkshakes”?!

    It’s breaking my brain.

    Blizzards aren’t MILKSHAKES. They’re soft-serve icecream in a cup. ICE CREAM is not the same thing as a MILKSHAKE.

    You don’t drink a blizzard. You eat it with a spoon. You don’t put two straws in and share it with your sweet-heart down at the old malt-shop. It’s not a drink!

    Sorry. Don’t know why this discussion about Blizzard vs Milkshake has triggered me. It’s a new discovery about my personality that I’m not proud of…






  • I’ll be honest, I doubt any real money is being dumped into this.

    More and more, things like this come across as people giving Trump nonsense toys to play with to feel bigly important and distract him as he gets more and more infirm. If any money actually moves towards this, it’ll be actually diverting into someone’s pocket along the way.

    It struck me the most when he made the announcement of a new class of Jumbo Jet and he was literally sitting there at his desk like a kid playing with a lego airplane model.

    He is increasingly a addled child that they keep distracted with stupid shit like this so that they can get work done without him fucking it up for them by opening his idiot mouth. (like admitting that Venuzuela was about oil…for example)


  • I’ve recently discovered completely by accident that if my screen is off and I hold down the power button instead of just tapping it, it turns my flashlight on and off without having to wake up and unlock my phone.

    Yes…it seems like such a dumb thing to have not known all these years, but still…to me it was a game changer.


  • The OnlyOffice software itself is Open Source. So unless you’re using their online hosting options as well, it’s irrelevant. Murena, for example, uses OnlyOffice as their “Google Office” equivalent, but they have it self hosted on their own servers (German I believe). Does Murena pay them for a hosting license as per their business pricing document? Sure…probably. But that doesn’t mean that your data with Murena is going to Russia or anything like that.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just saying a distinction has to be made between the OnlyOffice hosting services and the OnlyOffice actual software








  • Side bars on anything throw me off because they break the horizontal symmetry of whatever they’re a part of.

    Old Ubuntu when the taskbar was vertical on the left, browsers that have the default bookmark bar on the left or the right. Apps where all of the dialogues are bunched to one side, offsetting the main workspace.

    Maybe I’m just Slightly on the spectrum, I don’t know, never been diagnosed. But not having my workspace centred and symettrical kind of breaks my brain a bit.
