  • 6 consecutive wins, and 1 draw in the latest game against my father in law. We each claim it was a charity call but he's the sweetest guy in the world so I know I woulda taken him in the end.

    My sister's boy, though, he plays it cold. It's a nail biter from the first roll if he's in. We only played once and he stonewalled me so hard we both agree it was pure dumb luck he landed on one of the yellows and I was prepared with my hail-mary setup despite the fact he practically lives at the power station for how often he misses the yellows. Then I turned the screws hard and hit up the chest for a ride to St James for the pain and me hooting like a bastard.

    We are a mean bunch. Last family game they all ganged up to knock me out early but I hung on like a cockroach until they got bored and fell to infighting. Soon as they had to start mortgaging their crap to fund the chrome I could breathe. How I crowed when my sister gave up. I try to be a good winner (or loser) but being an absolute dick is important for monopoly so they don't play that game with me leat I lose next time.

    Hate that game. Wanna play?

  • My friend had a heart attack during a divorce proceeding and was on medical leave for 3 months recovering. He was required to pay a sum that was 110% of his gross pay while he was on medical leave.

    Super-bad divorce settlements happen.

  • It’s a service that’s mostly used by businesses

    almost entirely consists of financial statements

    When was the last time you

    I can’t even remember

    • 4 points
    • 2 of them bad-faith arguments
    • 0 of them pertinent to whether a consolidated mail service with a mandate to deliver mail from and two all Canadians (even if it's not the profitable places) is something we need to preserve as a service; just like roads we all pay to maintain that go to places we don't need to go to.

    because

    when is the last time you

    • drove? 2 years ago
    • rode a bus? 2 years ago
    • used a school? 30+ years ago
    • needed police? never so far
    • needed an ambulance?
    • needed a fireman? 38 years ago

    But I still fucking pay for those! This is a society and we do that; don't be selfish.

  • Topgrade - Upgrade all your system packages and dependencies in one command.

    Keeping your system up to date usually involves invoking multiple package managers.

    As someone who worked build/rel before working OS security: if you're intentionally breaking Single Source of Truth for software state management, then you're in for a bad time. This can only delay the inevitable, but the technical debt comes at a high credit cost on top.

    Building an RPM is SO trivial to do, even without some LLM feeding it to you; and maintaining an existing one or rebuilding it to suit another distro or version even more trivial. Save your sanity and avoid out-of-band 'package' managers!

  • Maybe the nations belligerently bombed by Israel should begin issuing their own evac orders? "We are going to do something nasty. Please don't be inside overnight on Monday" and then bomb something minor.

    Repeat weekly, different day each time. Something small.

    Week 11 say Thursday, really wreck some stuff the day before with no injuries, and say "oops".

    Repeat until they fucking get it.

  • The vaccine they were testing was derailed when participants reported behaviours that resemble anti-vax talking points now. It killed the human testing in the final stages at a huge commercial loss.

    But if you go to the vet and get a vax for a big dog and it accidentally gets into your arm and not Rover's paw, that's the same thing. They repurposed the 'failed' vax for use in pets.

    Or so I heard. Go confirm.
