hardly any ‘salutes’ to the screen, but definitely some uh… ‘verbal exchange’ happening. usually several times a day, and you wouldn’t want children nearby if i’m really on roll because windows fucked something up big time. aaaaand, occasionally to and at myself because every now-and-then it truly is my fault.
my boss (of 20+ years) abuses an old core2duo era desktop (8gb ram and sata ssd, both upgrades from original specs when 10 was put on) with 150+ tab firefox plus word and excel and voice software all going at once. never shuts down, never closes an application. sleeps, wakes, hibernates on weekends. it just keeps going. she’s never had any problems and it runs really well. she’d be bitching if it didn’t.
and one raging lunatic in particular.
one could argue that the ‘screwworm’ has been alive and well inside the u.s. for going on 80 years, spotted in various places over the last decade, including washington d.c. and south florida’s atlantic coast.
last night i put something in the fridge while doing the dishes. i went back to the dishes. i noticed then that the door of the fridge didn’t quite close all the way.
i did that very same thing–i’ll close that when i’m done here.
i didn’t.
i remembered the next afternoon when i went to the fridge to get something.
and older american made full size sedan or pickup, perhaps. those had ‘real’ horns and not little ‘beep beep’ like my old datsun and toyota had.
who’s gonna ‘out spend’ facebook for exposure on facebook to counter ‘programming’ that facebook themselves is funding so they can sell more ads that target the morons that are buying into said programming?
missing third panel:
returning to the water, some time later.
“here’s your twenty bucks. it sucks up there.”
whereas your average bee just wants to get back to their flower
that’s really all some of want, too.
you don’t even have to look past his first name to know exactly why he was denied entry by this administration.
his name is BoJack Horseman
ok, but you cannot disallow a legit band name then.
or they never got it in the first place. verizon loves to munch on sms here on the work phone.
i run several mass-market consumer model laptops with the lid closed. as long as the vents aren’t obstructed, not a problem here. mine are all lower-wattage soc with integrated gpu, though; the most demanding one that’s on 24/7 is still only ~ 15w cpu at 100% load, and it never runs at that; it rarely even throttles up from the 800mhz it idles at. i stand them on end so the vents are clear, and use some lego to enforce spacing between 'em.
i have a neighbor that keeps her old answering machine because her late-husband’s voice is on it. she has no home videos or anything else… just a few snapshots and that answering machine.
i vaguely remember him. played outfield for the giants and astros, right?
“that’s ok. they were never an intended user base, they’re the targets.”
--some ceo, somewhere. probably.
so these crazy prices i hear about being implemented (like at github) should actually be at least 10x higher?
how to get around low-flow shower head laws.
the wubi installer. i remember that. installed ubuntu inside a container file and added boot entry so could choose at boot time. yea, that was never really supported when it was offered but it mostly worked.
endless os does have that option yet today. and it does work–with some caveats: it’s slow af with a hdd. well, immutable distros in general are, but this install method just makes it worse. and your windows c: cannot be encrypted (e.g. bitlocker). also be aware that the next version (endless 7) that’s in development will change pretty much everything ‘under the hood’ that makes endless what it is, as they’re moving from their customized gnome and in-house immutable debian base to an immutable based on gnome os itself.
