At an old employer: delivery driver for a fuel truck company parked his truck one day and robbed a bank. Got arrested, we had to go get the truck back from where he parked it a few blocks away.

At my current employer: literally last weekend the freezer in our storage area failed and a boar, some elk, and fish went rotten over the weekend. The smell in my office the last 3 days has almost killed people, this will not be forgotten

I've been pretty happy with my swap to Proton lately, but this makes me nervous.

Not that I hate AI or crypto, but their mail app, the thing they're known for, is not feature complete on all platforms. I still cannot set or edit filters on mobile, for example.

If your flagship app is missing basic features that users have reported for months but you just keep rolling out new shit, it starts to feel like too much like Google, yakno?

I’m almost 70 and would rather die than live in tyranny.

Go ahead, then, put the barrel to your head and pull the trigger.

Oh, it's actually about oppressing others and not living under tyranny? Thought so.

Assuming that the world continues to exist in a way that lets me have a steam account at the time of my natural lifespans average end (another... 46 years):

My steam library grows at a slower rate than my mass storage has, and I'm quite confident that one will be able to fit my entire steam library as it currently is on a normal and affordable drive in at most 15 years.

With those two facts in play I can remain confident in my ability to crack everything I own (assuming I even want everything) and safely store it for at-will passing down to as many people as I want.

But thanks for the reminder to not blindly trust you, Valve. Always useful to have those.

Knew a guy who wore a trenchcoat, black, and a kilt, standard red tartan, even when it was 110 out.

Was chilling with his younger brother one day bitching about how fucking hot it was when this badass walks up in said attire with his guitar slung over his shoulder, goes "shut up you pussies", pulls out his guitar, and does a bit of improv chords while singing the last couple of things we'd said, something like "it's hot as balls out here"

I wish I could be even a 10th as cool as that guy was, because goddamn

My favorite is pre-authorization.

I need a pre-auth before my insurance will cover the Adderall for my ADHD. Every year I must renew this pre-auth or I will not get covered for my prescription.

What is a pre-auth, exactly? It's a Dr. Promising that yes, this medicine they prescribed is medically necessary. No, prescription alone does not count. Yes, it can come from the same Dr. who prescribed it.

And yes, I have to do it yearly to "ensure it's still medically necessary" because my ADHD could magically go away one day, apparently

Static UI elements you say?

When splooge dries it's lost it's water content (that do be what drying is) leaving behind the protein and such

Adding heat energy to something without a liquid component will only create liquid once it's hot enough to melt, it won't magically re-add the missing hydration

If she'd added a little bit of water to the sock, wrung it out, THEN microwaved it, shed be closer to what she's after

Basic science, really

Modern phones let you scroll after taking a screenshot

At least I know IOS does, and I've done it on android before
