The Borg seek perfection. This includes fashion. Bulky tech was so last season.

Baldur's Gate 3.

Loved it. Immediately started my second play through. Loved it, immediately started my third playthrough.

Kids should be taught the value of diplomacy.

When I was a kid one of my goals in life became to be immortal. Not in like on sci-fi way of course. Still somewhat a goal of mine but not likely to achieve.

Could you imagine bouncing a check to that guy!

It's not going to be long until we have always online DRM TVs. Where the TV will prompt you to reconnect to the internet before continues to function.

At this point, it's in the same category as a Rick roll.

People still buy Seagate even though there has been a track record of massive failures on their HDDs since the early 00's. Didn't matter, people associated it with gaming. WD used to have good quality. There was a bit of a scandal some years ago with their red series when they quietly went to SMR. I have some WD blacks (I think, unsure if they did the color thing at that time) from like '07 that still work reliably. So in the over 20 years I've been building computers, when did 'forever' start?

It's like an extremely high resolution... Of what it would have looked like in a PS1 game. This looks like this is an asset from like Deus Ex on PlayStation.

This is only going to be weaponized.

C is for cookie!

(Sorry, I know it's dumb but I could not refuse)

The empire did nothing wrong.

Vaguely has the shape of a pipe that a guy I used to know used to smoke meth out of.

I worked with a married couple many years back. Then they had a kid. So they split their shifts since daycare costs to damn much for 2 Perkins cooks. So they very little of each other. So they went to an open relationship model because "needs". One of the male managers known for hitting in and fucking all waitresses (because he controlled their schedule...) took the opportunity to start plowing her too. The husband... Thought he had game and thought he could get someone at work. He couldn't. So that had to be a fun dynamic. The husband and wife's manager working side by side with both of them and the manager was having a baby with one of his other conquests that also work there. Their marriage quickly fell apart and people's opinion of her and the manager and the husband took a leap off a cliff. Before all of that they were a very happy couple and great friends to be with. Afterwards they were all insufferable and the child pays for all this.

Knew another couple, married, with for kids. They moved to a open relationship model... Probably for plethora of reasons, Part of me believes that she misses her early twenties party girl that she used to be. Turns out being in mid-30s and having four kids and being married really limits the type of guys that you get. Her former husband moved on with life. And she now has a fifth kid with someone that was a temp boyfriend.

SSDs are far slower than RAM. And adds extra wear on the SSD.

Don't want zombies!

It's hung.

I pay Comcast $130 for 1000/35

Just Internet, no bundles.

20 years ago I worked as a bill collector. The company I worked for would buy out the accounts that the primary company felt they couldn't collect on and have basically given up. So we'd buy your debt (at a steep discount) and then try to collect from you.

It disappointed me the number of parents I talked to who not only committed fraud on their own kids but legit did not care, zero remorse. Some of them would even laugh at me and say "well they're only three so what are you going to do!?".

I felt so bad for the kids. Those are the kids that are entering college and the workforce right now.
