I am ashamed to admit having done this more than once. 🤣

eek2121,

There are medical issues that cause weight gain fyi. Not everyone that is overweight can control it.

eek2121,

Not office, but one time I was at the grocery store getting ready to buy my lunch and happened to look in a car next to me. There was a completely naked college age chick in the passenger seat casually smoking a cigarette. She saw me glance at her and rolled her eyes. Is being completely naked in a car in a public place normal or something? I made every effort not to stare, and she was gone when I gone when I got back.

eek2121,

That’s great. It is all about Stacy’s mom, though. I hear she has it going on! 🎵

eek2121,

Using the activity for anything more than entertainment is folly.

Only 60% of companies I work for use GitHub. Some of us create new users that are only for our employers.

Yet companies still use it for hiring purposes.

eek2121,

You can, but it is difficult. Spam prevention has made life hard for those that want to host email.

How much is Comcast charging you compared to the fiber? If I were in that position I would have decided differently (assuming I owned the property) as the difference for me peaked at $150/mo. Even more if I chose a slightly cheaper plan…and I have AT%T fiber, not municipal.

The first iteration of the mouse used regular (or rechargeable ) AA (or was it AAA?) batteries. I still have that mouse, but lost the battery cover.

eek2121,

Just hit the refresh button. None of the variants I have seen pop up on reload.

That being said, as long as you ONLY have uBlock Origin installed (no other ad-blockers), you should rarely see this popup, if at all.

eek2121,

Why are you downloading chrome? You are supposed to download Firefox.

eek2121,

That is because every single mobile version of Windows was incompatible (After version 6) with the previous. They kept reinventing the wheel over and over again.

eek2121,

uBlock Origin has no issues with blocking ads.

I get trying to fight it via legal means, but it is a solved problem.

eek2121,

Not in my city. It is illegal for motorized vehicles of any kind to travel on sidewalks.

eek2121,

I bought a color brother laser printer 3…almost 4 years ago. It still has the toner that came with it. We use it probably 1-3 times a week. Still going strong. Still plenty of toner left.

Water slides can/are engineered to slow you when you get close to the end. You absolutely should not be put in a position where you could be injured.

eek2121,

Do. none of you use case insensitive autocomplete? “do ” “Downloads”

eek2121,

I mean, the empire was the true hero in Star Wars, so…

eek2121,

Okay. I stopped using reddit (and cancelled my premium membership) when Apollo stopped working, so hope it works out for them.

New Orleans officials seek to build a freshwater pipeline as saltwater wedge inches closer (www.cnn.com)

Water barges and salt-filtering reverse osmosis units will not be enough to prevent saltwater from contaminating New Orleans’ largest water facility, officials said at city council meeting on Wednesday. Instead, a pipeline will be needed to deliver freshwater from upstream — not just for New Orleans, but likely for...

eek2121,

Yeah I am going to disagree here.

eek2121,

The extended periods of drought could very well cause the river to dry up. We just don’t know. i do know that in my part of the southeast, we have definitely seen a decrease in rainfall. Will the trend continue? Who knows. Climate change is going to redefine our regions.

eek2121,

Or get hospitalized. I dropped 40 lbs after spending a month in the ICU.

eek2121,

Thanks! Thankfully it was years ago. Mostly recovered except the more permanent stuff (scarring, other conditions)

I consider myself to be doing great today.

eek2121,

We could use something other than plastic. We should be banning the use of single-use plastics everywhere.

eek2121,

Aluminum is lighter than glass. Cardboard can be treated so that it holds fluid as well (and can still be made recyclable)

Regardless, plastic requires fossil fuels to make. It needs to go.

I have aluminum cups that can be (hand) washed/reused/recycled. Most plastic cannot be recycled

The tech is there, companies just need to be incentivized to use it.

eek2121,

It doesn’t work at scale.

$1, $10, or even $100 is nothing to me or possibly you, but to someone else that is grocery money, and most of us won’t pay a dime just out of principle.

I pay around $50/mo to my favorite sites for content. I wouldn’t give Twitter a dime. If this gets the few stragglers off Twitter and onto mastodon I am all for it.

eek2121,

As an autistic person with ADHD I am going to leave this one alone. 😬

eek2121,

Apple always does this before a big launch. Most likely they are applying site updates, major patches, etc.

Side note: thanks to Apple Card changes, this is the first phone I won’t be preordering.

eek2121,

If you make payments over time (0% interest) they now require you to select a carrier. This means you get charged an activation fee for activating tje new device. It also means you can’t use that option if your carrier is not Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.

eek2121,

my smart watch was $799, so not far off?

eek2121,

They would have to have a home grown solution since Valve is unlikely to help them and other platforms like gamepass exist.

I can’t wait to write a script to install Windows and install shitty publisher’s Unity game repeatedly in VMs, old hardware, etc.

[Discussion] With the recent rumors of a possible hardware refresh, what are your most hoped for changes in an updated Steam Deck?

In the leaked info, we know that Valve has an upcoming device that will use the same APU as the current Steam Deck. We don’t know if this will be a new VR headset or a Steam Deck hardware refresh. Even though using the same APU means there won’t be a performance increase, there could be various other improvements in an...

eek2121,

Strip it down and make a Steam Machine out of it. Valve could likely sell a tiny set top box for under $100.

How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?

My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I’m stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I’m gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna mentally burn...

eek2121,

I would say get a hotel room, but it has uh, been 6 hours since you posted this so…

eek2121,

Dark and Darker, Starfield, Factorio.

eek2121,

My employer bought my laptop and had it shipped directly from Apple to my doorstep. No nefarious software installed. I must be missing out on some good old fashioned fun.

eek2121,

I caught it (again) and I rarely go out in public. This is the third time I have had it. Thankfully I am vaccinated + boosted so all three times have been pretty mild, though this time is definitely the most brutal.

eek2121,

Because people do pay the money.

If an item is hard to find they will pay it.

People that only buy stuff on eBay will pay for it.

If someone randomly sees the item they need they will buy it.

Example: I paid $2,200 on eBay for an RTX 4090 FE because they were sold out everywhere. The extra few hundred bucks for me was worth it to get the FE card over 3rd party cards since it is the smallest and quietist of the bunch. None of the other 4090s fit in my case.

eek2121,

As a US Citizen I have quite a few EU friends (I like hanging out there okay?!? and the people are mostly kinda awesome?) and the biggest and most humorous thing I have discovered is that most Europeans don’t realize how small their countries are compared to the US.

eek2121,

Paid sick leave, no, but your job is protected by FMLA.

Have you ever been sexually attracted to someone you found repulsive?

It happened to me recently at work. I don’t even find her physically attractive, and her personality is not what I’m into at all. But I was still somehow attracted to her - and she also was to me. She didn’t like me, and I certainly am not the kind of man she goes for. It’s like we had a strong connection in one area...

eek2121,

Yes. 2 decades ago I met someone I wasn’t attracted to physically, and we had no common interests at all. However she was quite independent and just a smidge dominant and she had one goal: she wanted to sleep with me. That alone lead us down a brief fling which ended with a one night stand. The night was sleepless and enjoyable, but we split up after.

I don’t regret it.

I still occasionally talk to her (as a friend).

eek2121,

Use Cloudflare. They are the cheapest out there because they don’t add a markup. After the Verisign increase the new price will be $9.77.

eek2121,

Man I dunno about that. IKEA furniture lasts forever. I still have furniture that I bought from them decades ago.

eek2121,

I mean, if youtube premium were $5/mo I would consider it.
