AI rice cooker, anyone?

Spoiler alert: the rice cooking function was analog the whole time.

My guy gets high up and projectile vomits to inflict maximum damage lol

I'm sure it's a soothing place for him but damn, does it make a mess sometimes.

This makes me wonder how many Lemmy users have optical drives. I do.

Don't forget the soothing splat once it hits the floor from two meters up.

I don't think this lake named itself.

I'm a business/accounting grad and I can verify business majors look like this.

Finally had something good to say about Alabama and they had to go and ruin it.

Honestly, there are worse ways to go.

If the dildo were chilled to -40°...

There was a promotion around at the time where if you bought a Windows 7 laptop within a certain time frame, you could get $25 off your Windows 8 Pro license, which cost $40 on launch day.

And so on launch day, I paid $15 for my retail copy of Windows 8 Pro and installed it on my new PC.

Everyone shits on Win 8, but I had some shell extension that brought back the Win 7 start menu so I have somewhat fond memories of Win 8. I almost never had to deal with the Metro Start Screen.

My thing is I've got years of experience in Linux. I began using Ubuntu in 2012 because my laptop's hard disk failed, the sticker with my product key had worn away, and I wasn't paying $100 for another copy of Windows 7.

I've only been noncommittal about it this this long because of my Steam library. But with the Steam Deck and Proton being so damn good, and all my games working just as well on Linux as they did in Windows (many times, better), I just stopped using Windows altogether.

So there I was, staring at GNOME Disks for a couple hours. Knowing that like a bad relationship that was doing something for me, but also hurting me, it was best to break things off. And then I nuked that bitch lol

I finally deleted Windows 10 on Sunday. Ubuntu too. Now Debian is my only OS. I realized that every time I log into my Windows partition, it's got a trillion updates to install because it'd been weeks since I last logged in. So why bother?

If I really need it for something again, I'll just virtualize.

I also use private mode for searching things that I myself would be appalled to find in my own search history.

It's all about what you're acclimated to. I've lived with 105 and dry in west Texas AND 90 and swampy in Oklahoma and I'll take the former. When the dew point hits about 70 degrees, you can sweat and sweat and sweat and sweat and none of it matters because it will almost never evaporate off of you. And 70 is baby humidity. We had a few days last summer where the dew point came up just short of 80. Which can make a 100 degree day yield a heat index of 125+.

And all that humidity really saps your AC's cooling potential. It spends most of its energy pulling moisture from the air instead of actually making the air cool enough to be much use. It'll be 80 degrees and swampy inside your house too, especially if it's older construction. Nobody ever mentions this when talking about dry heat vs wet heat. If you can keep your indoor dew point below 60, you're doing alright.

I'll take this over Florida or Houston. We start to get some real relief by Labor Day and it's usually gone entirely by Halloween.

McDonald's has lost their place. They think that just because they decorate their stores like a Millennial's minimalist dream hellscape that it suddenly makes a McChicken $2.49. No. It's the same god damned sandwich I could buy 15 years ago, 2/$1. A couple friends and I once bought dinner there on couch cushion change and the few bucks we had in our pockets. And it was glorious. And I know the McDonalds' around me are still paying $9-10 an hour. Like they were in '09. I'm not convinced the cost of everything else justifies the annihilation of the Dollar Menu.

It used to be that I went to McDonald's because I was broke, tired, and hungry. I wasn't going there because I wanted to be there. I was going there because I was burning the candle at both ends and was just desperate for anything that wasn't meatless spaghetti I cooked last Wednesday. It was an inexpensive morale boost. I just can't find a reason to go there anymore. For the money, there are WAY better options. We have more local chains that blow McDonalds out of the water.

Taco Bell is going the same route, but at least the food is consistently pretty good. I mean, it's pretty hard to fuck up a bean burrito. But is a bean burrito really $1.79 now? I get they can't be 79¢ forever, but damn, man. I just feel bad for broke college kids these days. You really can't get a cheap meal anymore.

And don't get me wrong - I'd happily pay today's prices if I knew the workers were being paid $20 an hour like they should be, but I know they're not. Not in Oklahoma.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

It starts to really sink in after about 100 hours lol

My first job out of college, I worked with a lot of Indian people. It was like I was uniquely prepared to work there.

Indian man on YouTube put me through college 10-14 years ago. He's a real one.

It wasn't that my instructors were discouraging me or anything. Indian man just has a way of explaining things.

I used to clean the stalls on the weekends for my uncle for some spending money when I was a kid. Great way to make a quick fifty bucks for a couple hours of work. The horses were all chill. They'd leave you alone and let you work. The one pony was a fucking piece of shit. You put him in a different stall or he'd get behind you and bite at your ass cheeks or your arms the whole time. Absolute rat bastard.

He also had a donkey that was the sweetest, neediest guy. He'd follow you along the fence begging for attention. Sometimes, I'd grab a few carrots just for him before heading over.
