What an A-hole. Guess he can't afford a saw.

And those damn screws.

What the shit happened to freedom of information act? Now we not only have to sacrifice our privacy to some 3rd party contractor but I must also create a fucking account in order to access information our government provides? Fuck that shit. I'm just guna make a throwaway account. Scrape the fucking site dry and upload the shit to my own website. Fuck them.

Now watch the stuff not show up until Tuesday. 😆

Edit: It did arrive today (11/22). Woohoo! Still a weird email. This was NewEgg. Amazon has done this to me as well, but they usually say it's coming early then the shit arrives on the original day (at that point "late") haha. Anyway, have a nice weekend. Hail Satan!

My mother told me a bunch of these stories when I was younger and it wasn't until I had been an adult for a while that I realized no one is gonna kidnap women and girls that someone will look for. There's plenty of illegal immigrants, homeless people, and foster kids with behavioral problems that no one will question going missing. Hell half those people are desperate enough for drugs or even just basic human needs that they'll willingly go with them. And a lot of the times in these dumb internet stories the homeless or immigrants or whoever are the kidnappers too. A lot of the time it feels like a targeted disinformation campaign to make those vulnerable groups the bad guys in these stories when they're usually actually the victims. Also all the rest of that aside, it might still be worth it to lure me into the parking lot distracted / upset by a fake towing to hit me on the head with a brick and steal my car, but they completely lost me at the transdermal sedatives bit.

and because i'm a lazy ass i didn't read the specs but just read the search engine result.

I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it

Result: that $250 printer doesn't actually have wifi

And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg....

(And that "watch similar movies" thing can go to hell too)

ETA:

Jellyfin is great, yes.

There's a certain "people's republic" where they introduced a new government signature on all android apps. For "safety", as they "check" the apps for you 😉

For now it can be bypassed after three pages of scary warnings but in the future?

Maybe it could be a big reason of why they're liking harmony os that much, you don't need to manually approve android apps if android apps are completely unsupported

I've never fully understood how the 'popcorn' button on microwaves work (I've read different things that may or may not all be true depending on make/model), but my current one always runs for exactly 3 seconds too long and ever so slightly burns the popcorn.

It's not burned enough to throw it out, but it does give a noticeable "burnt popcorn" smell that kind of ruins my day.

So instead of pressing "popcorn" and doing something else, I have to stand there and watch it to hit 'cancel' in time.

Recent examples Twitch and Firefox 🤦

Red? Blue.

Yes, believable, from all the payment methods available, Greenpeace would choose the most fucking inefficient one, that wastes 700 kWh for a single transaction, that's 100 households!

The whole wash was estimated 72 minutes when it started.

It weighs the clothes by inertia in the beginning, I didn't overload, and the water (hot and cold) comes in fast through thick pipes, so there's no excuse for this.

How dumb must the program be to estimate one minute left in the beginning of the rinse cycle with two rinses and a spin cycle to go?

The building and presumably the machine were made 2018, and the maintenance log on the side says many repairs have been made since, so the software must have been updated many times already.

Lemmy, a few minutes ago I tried to change my notification settings for a website, but it was not possible using Gmail:

From my phone email inbox I clicked the link to unsubscribe. This opens the website, but via the gmail app. To sign into the website, they sent a single-use sign in code to my email... which I can't access because I'm using the email app to view the website. If I exit the website to view the new email containing the code, then I will lose my place on the site and need a new code sent to sign in. Thus an unresolvable loop.

Is this an asinine gmail issue, or am I an idiot? Please advise. I have ended up staying subscribed to several extremely annoying websites because of this bug/tactic.

Gotta get that KYC!

An actual quote I saw today posted on Twitter: "Florida is a conservative Christian state, and they voted against murdering unborn babies. The democratic process is complete. They can leave if they want to do that." There's a lot to unpack there. I also got into an argument with the guy who posted it, who claimed somehow that it's not ok for Federal government to regulate Women, but if states wants to do it then it's ok, and they should just leave to another state then. like.. wow. America is a strange place

i see, they are now starting to condition people's mind... with scam

You're old, straight, white and rich, motherfucker -- YOU'RE going to be "ok." Everyone else is fucked.
