Google doing its best to push me away from all their stuff. It's probably for the best since they have become so toxic anyway.

If this is true, then I will never renew any licenses for Jetbrains tools for my team ever again. They can get fucked.

It's no coincidence that every friend I knew that worked for Amazon as a dev or related job has left. This started a few years ago and has clearly gotten worse.

I guess if they didn't read the books, watch the show, or play the most popular and most recent game in the series, then it is fairly reasonable for them to be confused as they won't know shit.

That's not true, that's impossible!

I am all of the sudden Luke Skywalker, a character from that old classic film.

I don't love the layout of most Wormier keyboards, but if that doesn't bother you I'd definitely just get some new switches and stabilizers. That's the entire point of a hotswappable keyboard! As another commenter said, you may just be able to tighten and lube the existing stabs and see if that takes care of your rattling issue.

So, basically always then? Yeah, me too :)

Must be a Europe thing, I see listings this very moment for some under $100 that can fit a whole chicken.

We're clearly thinking of or seeing different products. The older glass convection ovens I used to see were in the $300-$400 ballpark in the US back in the 90s and early 2000s, where as typical air fryers here are all sub $100 unless you are getting a "fancy" model that includes some sort of "grilling" or rotisserie functionality. As you are referring to prices in euros, I can only assume that we had very different marketed products.

Calm down Dahmer

You could do stuff like that with the older DOS versions of Norton Utilities. I used to do fun stuff like set my friend's files as the drive label. He thought I was basically a wizard.

EA (through Maxis) likely still owns this as it was part of their Full Tilt Pinball game. I can totally see EA pursuing this just because of their inner evil.

I remember when our local Florida county redid their DMV office and made it actually not suck. Once word got out, we got such an influx of people driving in from other larger counties that they had to ban them except on a specific day.

The magic of "air fryers", other than a good marketing name, was that they were also much cheaper that those awesome glass convection ovens and were not targeting a higher class demographic.

Once Fedex lost a gait trainer to help my disabled daughter learn to walk. They then fought me for 6 months to stonewall me on getting reimbursed. When I was finally going to get my money back (it was quite expensive), it shows up at my house broken and now my daughter was too big for it anyway. I did find a local therapy center that said they could use some of for parts for their other trainers at least, but I was out nearly a month's pay. Fuck Fedex forever.

The days of Oink and what.cd are long gone

Sorta...

We used to call Panama City the "Redneck Riviera", but I grew up in FL. The panhandle is most definitely closer to "Lower Alabama" in hindsight. Funny enough, we did call the other part of north Florida "South Georgia".

We'll compromise and say Florida panhandle, which is probably generally worse than either :)

Is this a Florida pic? I feels like a Florida pic.

Both pics are accurate at times
