I’ll take 10 of whatever you’re smoking because it’s obviously the good shit

Thanks

Wow you totally reminded me of this building I managed several years back now, and they all had washing machines with that only filled a few inches, maybe 8 at most.

It was explained to me by my appliance tech, perhaps he’s not entirely correct on somebody may inform me better… But he said they were built to some water savings standard from california, and rather than making different models for different markets, they just foisted the low water ones on people.

I remember endless grieving from residents. I also remember a very common complaint of the person above them using their washing machine for 9 hours a day. Well fucking yeah, try having two working parents and three kids and seeing how much laundry you can get done in those pieces of shit!

Same with Quebecois!

We were taught Parisienne French in school in Canada even in my French Immersion school.

What is spoken in Quebec is so different they’re effectively different languages, outside of academic or linguistic analysis.

I excelled in French as a kid and that’s why I went to immersion school. Imagine my shock when I moved to QC for 4 years in my early 20’s… I could have a great conversation with the dude that literally came from France but neither of us could communicate in either direction with our French co-workers lol

Yeah but it the scheme of life you’re not out much.

I used to repair/rebuild TVs as part of my side hustle and I can absolutely confirm Hisense are the worst for parts, and no they don’t sell them! But also think about it… they’re shit products and the capacitors on the inverters burst constantly. You’d get another year before the replacement went byebye so really? Some products you just want out of your life. If it helps you feel better.

Hisense are just disposable TVs. It’s hard for me to accept that’s how ridiculous it’s gotten with the churn of tech and gadgets.

Holy moly the stories I could tell you about how repair un-friendly they purposely make TVs… but I don’t want to get myself all wound up lol

Welcome to the block list, joker boy

This is 9-dimensionally triggering for me.

Excellent post.

What is this gibber?

it’s by law

Where?

Humans have an innate way of telling time. When you think about it, where would this sense come from?

Turns out that there is actually a small chunk of the brain that is dedicated to keeping time. And that system synchronizes with similar systems throughout the body to keep them synchronized.

And that primary system figures out how to align its own “clock” by connecting to other parts of the brain like the nerve paths of the eyes. It’s not fully understood yet, but at the very least we know that incoming light can have an effect.

This time-keeping functionality is critical for telling the body when to wake, sleep, be active, etc.

And it’s the equivalent of a pendulum in a grandfather clock… It ticks back and forth at a predictable rate. But it’s biomechanical in a sense that it runs on electrical and chemical signals, not a spring driven thing like in a physical clock.

This is long in the past so I’m not coming at you but for others reading this, most credit cards give you an extra year warranty on top of manufacturers.

It wouldn’t install on an all-in-one PC I was selling, until I clicked the bypass options (RAM, TPM, etc) in Rufus

The Student As N

This is an archive.org link to a 1967 essay

I had to use a link shortener because the N word is rightfully scrubbed and can’t be posted in my comment or link.

The title is supposed to shock you. Jerry Farber was the real deal and a hardcore antiestablishmentarian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Farber

Friend.

I do not discuss with leading questions or statements made to elicit responses.

Those are disingenuous and bad faith methods of approaching dialogue.

I’m very interested in physics, astrophysics, particle physics, quantum mechanics, chemistry, all of the things that go into what makes the universe tick. But I can’t tell you what energy is, my buddy who is finishing his PhD in astrophysics relating to black holes wouldn’t be able to tell you what energy is. We don’t know, it’s just energy.

I don’t know what kind of setup my GF’s phone had going, but she loved hands-free features like “hi Google” or whatever it was.

I specifically remember having a chit chat verbal conversation with her on her patio while her phone was laying there… and the next day products started getting recommended to me on my phone based on that convo.

My phone at the time was turned off and in my backpack in the house. Somehow the back end logic sewed everything together.

Just to add an anecdote… My friend is beyond millionaire as her father started a retail giant. Anyways, she has money coming out her ass and the prices Amazon shows her are almost consistently 30%-50% more than what they show me. Because they know she’s rich AF and they know I’m fairly poor.

Yeah this thread is beyond sad. People want to think they’re savvy consumers; also think every AA battery with a different outer wrapping is made in a dedicated battery factory.

This was a fascinating read, thank you

I appreciate that, I’m not dissing the game, but I don’t think I have the tolerance. I appreciate you saving me some time.

The game is actually pretty cool, I just have never really liked story “getting in the way” of stuff.
