Yeah, I was gonna say, are you sure it's just a sprain?

I'm not going to argue that Taylor Swift doesn't deserve to be on the billionaire list somewhere, but if you were only going to include 4, why would she make the cut?

Baby kangaroo (lemmy.world)

I have no idea what a kangaroo has to do with my employer, but they brought in a baby kangaroo for an event, so I waited in line to hold it.

How about this: crank up the taxes on houses people don't live in. Make owning empty real estate so unprofitable that it's better to rent it out cheap than to try to screw renters.

Make it a crime to own an empty house.

That article gets her age wrong. She was 55. Born July 8, 1969, as confirmed by her sister.

Guinea pig bites are the worst.

It's not the force of the bite, although it does hurt (they bite through wood after all). It's the humiliation from having one of the most fragile, easy to kill pets decide that it can express its displeasure by biting your hand.

Damn little meat potato. The only reason you can even bite me is because you're so damn fragile I can't risk dropping you. Also, the reason I'm holding you is to trim your nails because you don't wear them down naturally since you live your entire life on padded flannel blankets. Where do you even get off having displeasure to express?

If you weren't so damn cute, you'd be on the grill.

The nice thing about Linux is, he can't buy it and fuck it up.

While discussing the imminent climate disaster with my elderly parents, they said they don't care because they won't live long enough to see it.

I asked, "What about your kids and grandkids?"

They asked, "Do you believe in God?"

I said, "No."

They said, "If you Believe in God, then you'll get to go to Heaven when you die."

I don't believe in God, so I won't be going to Heaven (which I also don't believe in), but if I did believe in God and Heaven, and expected to go there, why the hell should I and my children have to live through a post-apocalyptic shitshow before we die?

For the record, from what the church they made me go to taught me about God and Heaven, they should probably not expect to make the cut either. The God I was taught about was pretty anti-fascist. Kind of a socialist really.

Way back in the olde tymes, I was having trouble with the NIC driver in my Linux install. I posted a question about it on USENET, and got a reply from the guy who wrote the drivers. He asked for some info about the card, then updated the driver to support it.

Fuck, that's so low.

Luckily, if you try to eat a polar bear liver, the polar bear will stop you.

But don't worry, human liver is safe for polar bears to consume.

I'm just a dickhead on the Internet, but what you're describing doesn't sound normal or healthy to me. Have you tried therapy?

Despite a long track record of anti-LGBTQ+ comments and advocacy, he has insisted he can’t be a hateful person because he’s a Christian.

I think he's got it backwards. He can't be a Christian because he's a hateful person.

Obviously teenager is 13-19.

"Young adult" would start at 20, but where's the cutoff at the upper end? Similarly, what's the range for "adult", "old", "elderly", " ancient"?

If someone asks for responses from "old men", how do I know if it applies to me?

Title is my question. It seems like refusing to recognize other state's driver licenses would be blatantly unconstitutional. Is there something I'm missing?

I tend to at least look at every work email I receive. Likewise for Teams messages. If I see a notification of a new communication, I tend to check it and see if I need to respond. I don't always respond, but I always look at the message.

In various virtual meetings, I've seen other people's notifications when they share their desktop, and it seems like some people just don't bother even looking at them.

Am I the weird one? Does everyone just ignore messages they receive at work?

Urban planning (lemmy.world)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/191646

This morning I was driving to my son to swap vehicles when I encountered road work on Moyamensing.

Blocking the only road that leads to his apartment.

When I got back to my office, I had to check Google maps to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Lost all contacts (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by NABDad@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world

Just lost all my contacts in my Android phone.

Galaxy S10, Android v12.

Tried different contact apps, tried rebooting, tried googling (yes, Internet, I have the apps set to display all contacts).

Tried restoring contacts, and it says 0 restored.

They're still in Gmail, so I tried exporting them and importing them onto my phone, but the phone won't let me select the file.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a factory reset.

Any other suggestions before I bite three bullet and wipe the device?

Simple question. Which distribution was your introduction?

For me, it was SLS Linux in '92-93, followed relatively naturally by Slackware, which was followed by Redhat.
