Some of us always look like shit.

I just assume it's a convoluted way to present Loss.

Same thing is happening a lot of places. One large american company that I'm not going to mention is doing several rounds of layoffs along with a return to office initiative.

Goddammit, you brilliant bastard.

Especially if you don't make six figures or more.

Six figures ain't the line anymore and hasn't been for a while. If your household income is $100,000 in a lot of places you're still living paycheck to paycheck. They ain't working for those people because there's no immediate money to be made helping the middle class.

is making me get the distro itchy foot.

They make a powder for that.

I'm a big believer in the "both sides" theory. Stick with me here.

One side is a trash can fire. They do some fucked up shit.

The other is the Springfield Tire Fire.

Both sides suck, but one side sucks so bad that there's no way to ever fix it.

I prefer funny over accurate.

That's no fucking joke. Please just send me an email about this meeting because it's not really worthwhile and I just want to crank out code.

Yep. A bunch of police departments give out cable locks if you just ask. I bought one for $4 because I don't want to go to the police department for any reason and I use it to lock my helmet to my motorcycle.

It's not a perfect solution but it's cheap and helpful.

Yep. I've tried several others and they're not for me, but a lot of people are really happy with them.

I like SteamOS so much that I'm using HoloISO on mini PCs around the house to simulate consoles and stream couch games from my gaming rig upstairs. But my experience isn't everyone's so get your hands on it and try it out.

That's what I was wondering. Could they please release the full definition of the version of the word "genocide" they're using?

Except for the <.1% of users who do things like compile their own version of Infinity with their own user agent. They're still there and not looking at ads.

Capital One lets you do unlimited virtual cards for each service. X1 gives you the ones like I described. There are others.

That's just garbage.

You may want to see if your bank will let you create disposable cards. I have two credit cards where I can create temporary or reloadable cards at no charge for transactions.

So if I wanted to trial something, I would create a card with $1 on it. The trial starts and does the test transaction. I forget to cancel before the trial is over, but the card has no money so it automatically cancels.

If I wanted a subscription to HBO, I could create an HBO card and load the amount for it every month. When I cancel, I don't have to worry that they'll try to keep charging me because I just don't add anything else to the card. It also makes me think about whether I'm using a service every month.

It saved me a few hundred bucks not terribly long ago. I tried a clothing subscription box that was absolutely terrible. So I contacted their customer service to cancel because they don't have a real way to do it on their site. They didn't get back to me in time and attempted to charge my card for another box. Luckily it was on the temp card and there was no cash on it so I just got a rejected charge on my card.

It's like the people who call Ted Cruz stupid. They're absolutely wrong. Those two aren't stupid, they're just terrible people (assuming Cruz is a person) and are actively working against the well-being of the vast majority of the US.

Yep. A few of the big boys are pushing for hybrid but I think the great majority will never be full time in the office again.

The ad gets into your brain just like this liquid gets into this egg.

They watch TV/movies/news.

I'm also a person with a million hobbies. I've got TV or audiobooks on in the background as I do woodworking, smoke meat, play instruments, record music (ok, there's nothing on in the background while I'm recording), go sing karaoke, rock climb, work on motorcycles, garden, or one of the other million things I might be doing. My family passively sits and watches television.

As far as I'm concerned, that's fine. If it makes them happy then I'm happy for them. I couldn't be content that way but it takes different strokes to move the world.
