I’ve heard a theory that when new presidents come into office they usually aren’t interested in being involved in conflicts. What happens is that something will happen in the world and the newly elected president will have an enormous amount of power at his disposal. Wanting to do good in the world the president will typically go for it.

I wish I could recall the name of the theory or provide references; maybe someone else can chime in.

That’s fucking nuts.

College students with sports cars: I assume they’ll be in debt forever.

Some crack den in Coalinga, CA when a friend and I were trying to meet halfway between Sacramento and Los Angeles on the 5 Fwy. His car had broken down so we were forced to stay there one night; it happened to be Halloween so the town was a little wild but our hotel was full of bugs, drugs and other fun surprises.

I don’t know what fucking idiot they think is going to say to themselves “well fuck if Microsoft recommends it that’s the way we go!”

Yes

I think it depends. I’ve noticed in newer developments that yes, they’ll only deliver to names of known recipients.

But I’ve also lived in old-ass places most of my life and I can’t get them to stop delivering mail for someone who hasn’t lived here in 5+ years.

Love your self-awareness.

I think this to myself sometimes too but then I realize some other shit stain will take his place.

Something tells me this isn’t rooted in any sort of facts.

It’s really quite embarrassing what these people do when they’re drunk on power.

Today I felt I was extremely productive at work—imagine sitting around all day dreaming up this elementary school bullshit.

Been to Mexico lately? BDS and other Chinese manufacturers are killing it, they make Teslas look like a Model T.

I remember Compaq had a commercial game pack that you were supposed to call in to pay for, but the password was just 11111111.

Well I asked in Linux communities all around the internet and got no help there, so maybe ChatGPT was more helpful than all the randos with an attitude problem.

Lode Runner: The Legend Returns was a game that came preinstalled by Compaq on Windows 95. Around age five I found the game captivating, and the level editor was fantastic for my brother and I.

I recently gave up on ARM because I couldn’t figure out how to build Alpine Linux for a nanoPi R6S despite spending hours with ChatGPT, talking to someone in India, etc. It’s kind of depressing because I love my Raspberry Pi and a ton of other ARM devices, but I guess you need to be a total neck beard to get it working.

Here we go

Boring ass comment, but same. I’m 36 and can’t stop eating spicy foods.

Linoleum floor in a supermarket? Haven’t seen that in the US nor Mexico.

For some reason I read this in Bill Maher’s Trump voice.
