Not even two part time jobs, or one full time the other part time?

I have twice worked two jobs at once. Both times I was young, late teens/early 20s. Once I was working for one bike shop, but getting fed up with management, when the owner of another bike shop started hiring me on occasion when he needed extra help- which eventually led to me quitting the first shop and working at the second one full time. The other time, I was working for my uncle's construction business, and I took a second job at a video store one day a week mainly for the benefit of free movie rentals.

It's coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere...

Like a big dog, in my experience...

Yes you can...

Seriously, I wouldn't even bother futzing with adblockers on my Android TV if it was reasonable, but fucking 45 seconds of ads for every 5 minutes of content is just ridiculous. I almost wonder if it was all an experiment to see how much they could get away with...

Some people just like the taste of boot...

I had one of the old fashioned distorted text ones the other day, but instead of something like "please enter the text above" it just said "are you human?" next to the text box. Naturally, I typed "yes" but that turned out to be the wrong answer.

What the hell is a gigawatt?

That's nothing new. "You wouldn't steal a car" was in the 90s...

we expect software to stay up to date and keep getting better.

Well, we've been conditioned to expect that... Just because that's how it's been doesn't mean it has to stay that way. It made sense in the past, applications were limited by the hardware's technical capabilities, which kept improving over time - but we've reached a point where for the most part, the hardware is good enough to meet the needs of the software. That's not saying it won't continue to improve, but it's not the limiting factor it once was. At some point, at least in theory, a product should be able to be "finished", as in it has all the features it needs, possible exploits have been found and patched. Compare to buying tools - you don't need to buy a new hammer every two years, well, maybe you do if you abuse the shit out of it and break it, but you don't need to because of ongoing development in the techniques of building hammers.

I used to drive a mini, which is basically a BMW, and I wasn't an asshole... Oh wait, no, I am an asshole. But it wasn't because of the car.

Yes, but why male models?

As drivers are wont to do...

It's not that they "took a lot of code from the GNU project", it's that "Linux" is the kernel, which is just the core of the OS, by itself it's not very useful. All the stuff around it that constitutes the rest of the operating system, like the command line and the vast majority of the commands you might run from there, are the GNU project. And I'm not even getting into desktop environments.

I rape and murder as much as I want - I just don't want to.

Lockdown is different from a drill. It's as of I said we never had fire drills, but the school burned down a couple times.

Thisthisthis. I have kids, I'm not at all worried about them getting shot, sure it's "possible" but it's just so improbable that it's not something I even think about. But holy shit, the way people drive in my neighborhood, I'll be a nervous wreck when my kids start walking or biking to the park by themselves...

I was in high school in the early 90s, we never had active ahooter drills, we just had the occasional lockdown due to gang wars...

Eh, it's safer now than it was 30 years ago, your odds of actually running into anyone with a gun are extremely low.

That would have to be megamaid's vacuum...
