Jesus, would be interesting seeing people lose their minds over it. But of course he’s probably not real so we’d get nothing.

dan1101 , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in People who back into parking spots: Why?

If you have the time and space to back in when you’re parking it can make leaving easier. Invest a little time now to make things easier later.

I wouldn’t make people wait on me to back in though unless there was some important reason to back in.

I think some of you may be losing your mind. It will be ok, tell me what the Java did to you.

dan1101 , 11 months ago to news in Elon Musk's Twitter was fined $350,000 for snubbing the special counsel investigating Donald Trump

Now that is more compelling than a $350,000 slap on the wrist. That was a rapidly approaching trainwreck they were naturally interested in avoiding.

It’s funny how the pendulum swings, first people would never let other people have their files, then they invested wholesale in cloud computing, now they are seeing the downtimes and expense and are backing off.

Same thing with client/server, had it in mainframe days, then got away from it with PCs, now we have Chromebooks and Microsoft wants Windows to run from the cloud, which is basically back to client/server again.

I forgot how bad the default site was, I’m a regular Wired reader and have blocked things on at least a weekly basis.

She likely can’t be compelled to pay for the packages. If they are COD it’s up to the shipper to get the Cash on Delivery and they are failing in that. Still a big annoyance I’m sure.

It’s funny, my Steam games are like physical items out on my desk where I can see them every day, every time I turn on my computer. The free games I claim on Epic are like physical items in a drawer somewhere, that’s the Epic Games client. Not quite sure what I have in that drawer until I open it and search through it.

$1 is better than $0, but can’t tell that to CEOS and stockholders.

So is it time to get rid of them then? Usually when I encounter one of those “click the motorcycles” I just go read something else.

Nature doesn’t need money but men need money to compensate them for doing things.

dan1101 , 11 months ago to news in Trump says he won’t sign RNC loyalty pledge ahead of first debate

Yeah this shit even happens in local elections. Our republican sheriff candidate was decided at a republican meeting rather than an voter primary, and to vote at the meeting you had to sign a pledge. It felt like the year 1905.

That’s great, every soldier there isn’t killing Ukrainians.

I hope it does pay them. I always had the impression that lots of viewers watching ads gave them money.
