The next season of White Lotus is practically writing itself!

Sometimes as low as $1 per day, sometimes up to $50 per day, all dependent on the state and specific prison. Hawaii doesn't charge, so get locked up there if you follow through with this plan!

Sure, private prison execs already get to hoover up taxpayer money, and they profit from the slave labor, but how else would they get filthy rich if they stopped profiting off you just because you finished your sentence?

Is that the CLIT Commander!?

I have the same question except it's a Pi B+ from 2014. It doesn't seem powerful enough for most Pi recommendations I see online.

You'd better hope that art is good enough to pay for your prison rent or you'll be in debt for the rest of your life. Especially given how tough it is to get a traditional job afterwards.

The setup based on the first image+caption would lead you to believe the second image will relay how boys feel if a girl walks into the locker room. The second half instead subverts that expectation by having a too-accurate caption of a strange image, unrelated to locker rooms.

My grandma would only eat pancakes with light corn syrup. She didn't like maple syrup. She did live in Iowa, which is basically just corn.

I read this in the "Watch those wrist rockets!" way and completely lost it.

My mom said it to me frequently before I cut her out, which is a pretty good indication it's not normal. A therapist would tell you that's a reflection of her issues; if she had a different kid instead of you she would have said the same thing to them. You, as a person, don't really factor into why she feels that way.

As for your feelings, let me know what you come up with. I'm in the same boat emotionally and I don't see a way out either.

You definitely seem to have the second amendment backwards, as others have mentioned.

Additionally, the US government has turned the military on its own protesters several times. The Kent State massacre, The Battle of Blair Mountain, and the 1967 Detroit riots are all instances where they murdered civilians and faced no consequences. It's completely legal and, in all three of those cases, was happily endorsed by much of the populace.

Yeah, I gotta admit I definitely assumed most of those things would be true. I knew it could be messy, but I didn't realize it was such a loosely bound garbage heap.

Code Ment "Where are you right now!?" "I'M AT SOUP"

A classic that has not aged well, but that scene will always be great.

This may be unpopular, but I don't use the dividers at checkout. I just wait my turn. Once all the previous person's stuff is scanned I start loading my stuff on the belt. By the time they finish paying, even with a tap card, I've got the belt full and I'm waiting again.

Some guy got mad at me at Costco recently for it. I guess he really wanted to get some stuff out of his cart while the person in front of me was still getting scanned. It feels like flooring it to every red light. You still have to wait, so what's the point?

What do you do with the used oil? When I was a kid my family would dump it in big barrels, then we'd bury them once they got full. Obviously not something I want to do now. But I've asked the oil change places around here and they charge a fee to take the used oil.

I shed a tear and sing In the Arms of an Angel by Heather McLachlan every time I do this. Even for a single noodle.

It's definitely not required, but ever since we got one I've grown to like it. If you have a ceramic sink it helps prevent scratches. It also helps dishes stay put, like pot lids that normally slide around. Most of all I like it when I put a strainer down. I know the strained liquid won't touch the sink and flow back into the food, even if the risk was low before.

Ripped off the brand-ad, some would say.

I wish! It's more of a loose collection of random business softwares in various states of abandonment. D365 CE is a platform for Sales teams to organize and track leads, quotes, contracts, etc. D365 BC is an ERP platform born out of the ashes of NAV, the core of which Microsoft bought decades ago. D365 F&O, D365 S&M, and others are various flavors of AX, another ERP platform Microsoft bought over a decade ago. They are direct competitors to D365 BC for some reason. None of these softwares can communicate directly with each other, and none allow direct access to the Azure SQL. Occasionally Microsoft will throw a bone towards integration stuff like DualWrite or Synapse or Fabric, but they can never seem to commit and eventually abandon those too.

I would actually be much happier if it was just crummy databases instead of an archipelago of rotting digital islands.

Against every developer's advice, management has moved our entire stack to Microsoft Dynamics 365. It took over a year of prep, millions in ISV consulting charges, and it performs like trash. Now management is constantly complaining about outages, Microsoft nickles and dimes us for tens of thousands more than the estimates, and they are constantly jerking us around to half-baked tech by removing support for anything that actually works. "Want data out of F&O? We're killing everything except Synapse Link. You spent months migrating yet it drops data? That's not surprising since we fired everyone working on it. You should be on Fabric! No, that's not finished either, but we need to test it on someone!"

I'm very bitter.
