Getting really strong Garbage Pail Kids vibes

Not a chance. Basically your opinions would be to retrain your entire user base, or set a GPO or Intune policy to disable a service you don’t want.

I think this is a fake quote that somebody made up for an Internet comedy bit

You can tell by the pixels

Ten Foot Pool was my first thought too.

I saw them live back in the 90s when they opened for AFI. They put on a fun show.

I’ve played around with a few of them. I’ve found LM Studio the most robust and user friendly.

I’m an American who lived in England for a couple of years. Due to American media the majority of everyone understood what I meant when I said things like soccer, trunk or hood of a car, fries, etc. Words with different meanings between the two could get confusing like biscuit, chips, or pissed.

Since soccer doesn’t have another meaning I never ran into someone who didn’t know what I was talking about. However, when saying football in an American accent some thought I was referring to American Football by default.

I can only remember one instant where someone did not know what I was talking about. That was when I asked someone at work where the dumpster was and I got a blank stare. I explained, the big metal thing outside for trash and they were like, “oh the skip”

Cocaine?

That’s why I have multiple accounts on platforms. One for professional stuff and one for personal.

When used as a noun a fart refers to “an expulsion of intestinal gas¹” or “An emission of wind from the anus; an instance of breaking wind²”. So, I would say no it is not because it is defined as leaving the body. While in the body it is flatus which is gas in or from the stomach or intestines.

I watched this last night, not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. It doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is and has some good 80s references we don’t often think about, like a lack of security pretty much anywhere. It’s a good popcorn flick.

This guy sounds like a text book narcissist. The worst thing you can do is tell a narcissist they are a narcissist. It will do nothing and will only make them double down. The best thing you can do is cut them out of your life.

I had a similar situation when I was in my 20s. Friend I had that I’ve known since highschool would always make remarks about how I got so lucky with my job. Because I was making decent money (more than him) without a degree and he was an engineer. It didn’t matter that I worked my ass off and put in thousands of hours, I was lucky.

If I would ever push back or say something he would just double down. I couldn’t bring up the fact that I didn’t have parents that paid for everything while I was in school, so I had to work and go to college at the same time. I finally realized that was just the way he was going to be, so I limited contact with him. However, his comments never went as far as what you are describing. So, I think you’re doing the right thing by just blocking him.

I highly recommend reading the book Emotional Vampires. It teaches you about the different personality types you’ll run into in the working world and how to deal with each type (when you can’t just avoid them). I wish I had read it 20 years ago.

Looks normal on my Pixel 5. I wonder what would cause that just on the 6.

Wonder how many are like my son who had it on the Xbox 360, then the PS4, then the Switch, and now on PC.

There are dozens of us!

But seriously, I think we had one of the most interesting technological evolution of any generation. Going from using the Dewey decimal system and encyclopedias early on, to using the internet before graduating.

If it’s local, it’s designed to survive on its own. I’m in North Texas and this summer has been hell on everyone’s lawns and gardens. The exception for me is my garden with trailing lantana. It is completely unaffected and growing like mad while everything else is drying up and dying.

In this case your family comes first

This is a great point. I’ve already decided to get out of Texas because of my family. For the longest time I refused to move because I felt like that was giving up. Especially since my district was pretty well split 50/50. However, the things that have happened over the last year have made me loss all hope. And there is no way in hell am I raising my daughter in a state that would put a bounty on her reproductive rights. What type of parent would I be if I didn’t do what was best for them?

Sincerely, thanks. I think I just needed to hear someone else say what you said.

I’m sorry you had to work for a place like that, but glad to hear you got out of it. I seriously cannot believe people who own/run companies can sleep at night.

I work as a consultant so I’m always dealing with different customers. We had one client who operates payday loans. I refused to do any work for them and thankfully my company didn’t argue when I said I couldn’t morally work with them.

That said, I have a child with autism and I’m spending tens of thousands of dollars a year on getting him the help he needs. My companies insurance sucks and I saw a job posting at Raytheon I was a perfect fit for. I’m still conflicted on if I should apply just to get better insurance and help my family.

Meat is generally classified as light and dark. Red meat is part of the dark classification. It’s just that beef has a higher concentration of myoglobin than chicken legs so it appears redder. Pork is in-between which is why it appears pink.

And while cows don’t move much, just standing requires them to use a lot of muscles. Which is why you’ll hear about veal farms doing horrible things like chaining calves to the ground so they don’t develop their muscles. Which in turn causes less myoglobin which makes their meat whiter.
