You don’t actually give the card to the employees, do you?

Typically when I go through a drive thru, I hand my card to someone who then leans back inside to swipe/tap/whatever it, then they hand it back. So yes, commonly I do give my card to an employee for at least a few seconds.

During 2020-2022 more of them were in the habit of placing the PIN pad at the window so it could be reached by customers from their cars, but it wasn’t designed to be used that way and I’m sure it caused other issues.

Gotta imagine that ladder was covered in ice for much of the year.

Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it’s not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.

Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice…

This is just my head canon, but the noise actually comes from speakers on board the ship /in the cockpit

I’m pretty sure this was explicitly addressed in at least one of the pre-Disney novels, and was somewhat entrenched with a part of the fanbase afterward.

Trump filled the compliment today

trump could make the compliment and he will back him

I’m guessing “compliment” was supposed to be “complaint”?

This is patently absurd, 10 years ago was 1994.

I’m not color blind and almost didn’t see it. This was an okay idea, executed with a terrible choice of colors.

I had to specifically mute all of my notifications because I couldn’t find out what app was causing them and it was driving me nuts.

I’ve been doing that for years. I only have a handful of apps with audio notifications, basically the most important ones that need my attention right away. Everything else gets vibrate.

I think this is about it coming out of Early Access?

The developer published this trailer on March 15. Looks like they’ve made a channel for the game specifically and republished it there.

a Red Storm Rising movie adaptation

This being one of my absolute favorite military fiction novels, I very much fear Hollywood screwing it up. At the same time, I’d love to see a miniseries, maybe directed by Ridley Scott.

Is this the one where they used footage of New York instead of London?

Yep. From the article:

Issued by Conservative Central Office (CCHQ), it has already been edited and re-uploaded after viewers spotted that one of the dystopian-looking scenes it depicted was of the New York subway rather than the London Tube.

McConnell endorses Trump for president. He once blamed Trump for ‘disgraceful’ Jan. 6, 2021, attack (apnews.com)

With McConnell’s endorsement of Trump, it gives the green light to other remaining skeptical Republicans — and the deep-pocketed donors who fuel campaigns — to fall in line despite any reservations they may have about a return to the Trump era....

Named for Johns Hopkins, who got his first name from his mother’s maiden name.

(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

What a weird thing to say. I’ve always heard it described as one of the best TOS films and I always found the ending quite an emotional and fitting send-off to the TOS crew.

His feelings might be related to his plan for the sixth film involving the TOS crew being forcibly retired and then slaughtered.

In a real job, sometimes we need to get something done TODAY, or even 3 hours from right now.

I work third shift and it’s so much worse in this case. I walk in the door at 10 PM to an email saying I have to do a training module that takes an hour, and it has to show completed before midnight. Then they wonder why I wasn’t able to get my work area set up and make progress on a long term project in that same time frame.

Technically, the new flag doesn’t come into use for another 5 months or so, assuming the legislature doesn’t stop it.
