When I worked with one my cell phone didn’t work inside either.

makes sense, it's basically a giant Faraday cage

I guess Canada must be undeveloped, cause I've never seen one of those "expensive letters" in my mailbox

I sanitize my water bottles in the sun. After washing them I put them on a south-facing windowsill and let the UV light kill every last living microbe that might be lurking in the crannies. (it's always the crannies that get you, the nooks are usually fine)

it's a policy that has never let me down

my favourite part is that when the fungi was given robotic legs, all it tried to do is get the fuck away from humans

yeah like tell me something I don't know.

"This just in: to the surprise of no one, your phone has, in fact, been spying on you from day 1. Now we go to Jim with sports. Jim?"

Canadian netfux can eat a massive bag of penises, all they ever do is increase their prices while removing the stuff I actually liked. I cancelled after their 3rd price increase in 18 months without adding anything of value

I love Les Stroud but I hate how he latched onto that hoaxer whackjob Todd Standing, the guy who comes out with high quality videos of sasquatch faces in tree branches. They're not moving, it's not full-body, it's just their face, and they're not doing anything besides blinking. He's got two videos like that of just a face in the trees, and then several more where he claims the sasquatches are attacking him, but they're "just out of camera view", where he's freaking out and waving a torch around, screaming like an idiot.

I just feel like Les could do a lot better. He's got some compelling footage of weird stuff happening at his solo campsites, and I fully believe his story of what happened when he was filming the Survivorman Alaska episode. Les is legit, he has no reason to make shit up, but Todd Standing is an absolute fraud.

Microsoft already lost an anti-trust suit in 2001. It's in the article if you care to read it.

well, there's a lot wrong with me. but the only reason I use chrome is because when my last windows machine took a shit, I couldn't afford a new PC so I grabbed a chromebook for $130CAD and I was seriously impressed with how easy and fast it was to use. that was 4 years ago, and now I'm just waiting for google's hammer to drop so I can switch back to windows.

a chromebook isn't without its charms, there are features that just make sense to me that are non-existent on windows: for example, you can increase the size of everything on your screen with two fingers on your touchpad. expand to make larger, pinch to shrink it down. seems like a no-brainer for any OS, but windows lacks this feature. and when you're old af and your eyesight is for shit, this is an extremely useful tool to have available.

but if I can't block ads then it's meaningless. there are no redeeming features that could ever outweigh adblock capabilities. once that happens, I'm gone and I'll never go back to chrome. they can go fuck themselves to death if they're gonna take away UO
