Bonus: When you become a teacher you start having nightmares about being asked to teach classes in which you have no knowledge, with very little or no prep time.

Oh, wait, no, that ACTUALLY HAPPENS, ALL THE TIME.

I once was given 15 minutes to prep a 1 hour lecture on how 401Ks work. I was a computer instructor.

They said it was the best presentation they ever had.

🤷

So manufacturers can bill you monthly for the same features…

Interesting looking at the chart how low-rated the non-Fox Republican sources are. But also, OANN doesn’t seem to be listed either…

“The last guy nearly ruined this place
he didn’t know what to do with it.
If you think this country’s bad off now,
just wait 'til I get through with it.”

Rebadge them with a fancy name and sell them for $20 to the gullible. 😉 “Toroid Choke Core”.

I actually kind of like winter? Much better than Summer!

Always use the indefinite article… “a”, never “your”. 😉

Matthew 25:40:

“40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

“TADA!” for short…

So you had the Shazam! TV show based on the Captain Marvel comic book character…

Which spun off the Isis TV show…

Which then turned into a new comic character…

“But on the flip side, my family and friends will see a scary looking command and immediately be put off.”

More to that… these are exactly the people we have all been telling “If you see someone on the internet telling you ‘type this!’ DON’T DO IT!”

ALT-F4 being the benign one.

rm -rf / --no-preserve-root - not so benign.

I remember a story of someone getting the recursive tag wrong on the chmod command and managed to chmod 000 themselves out of everything on the system… including chmod.

For years and years the barrier to entry was mom or gramma buying a clipart CD for $4.99 at the grocery store, bringing it home, and expecting it to work.

Now that’s not a thing anymore, but they still aren’t using it. So I guess the barrier to entry now is they see that ad for the casino app that “pays you real money” and they expect to download it and expect it to work.

Until mom and grandmom can load up the computer with all sorts of malware that breaks everything, they really aren’t interested.

Quick reminder of everything Jesus said about LGBTQ+ folks, you can look these up!

“. . .”

This was actually a thing in Hogwart’s Legacy, you had the option of capturing and breeding animals.

My favorite story along these lines…

Someone compared Monster cables to un-bent coat hangers.

https://gizmodo.com/audiophile-deathmatch-monster-cables-vs-a-coat-hanger-363154

“Seven songs were played while the group was blindfolded and the cables swapped back and forth. Not only “after 5 tests, none could determine which was the Monster 1000 cable or the coat hanger wire,” but no one knew a coat hanger was used in the first place.”

When we start fighting wars over fresh water, Trumps plans for Canada and Greenland are going to be seen as genius…

Dude had no criminal record so nothing preventing him from owning a gun, BUT… as a coke head, if he was using at the time he bought the gun, he would have had to have lied when filling out the purchase form and that would have been a blocker.

Florida does have a red flag law that could have been used to seize his gun(s).

https://www.fighterlaw.com/how-do-floridas-red-flag-gun-laws-work/

“In 2019, National Public Radio reported that Florida courts had approved 2,500 risk protection orders to confiscate firearms over a period of 1.5 years. That equals out to nearly five people per day that had their firearms seized due to red flag laws–more than any of the other 17 states that have adopted a similar regulation.”

Who defines “valueless”? In my opinion, anyone who says something like that has no value and so…

People hear about cloud seeding, which is very much a thing, and go “See! See! I TOLD YOU!” When it very much is not the same thing as “chemtrails”.

Freestyle Libre was my first CGM and as soon as I had the opportunity to switch to Dexcom, I did.

Each new sensor was wildly low or wildly high, with no option to calibrate. It was really only good for measuring changes, not the actual glucose reading itself.

So "Oh, it’s going up, +5, +10, +20… probably accurate, but is it 80, 180, or 240? Use a finger stick to know for sure.
