stinerman , 2 hours ago to mildlyinfuriating in I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

Most people have already pointed it out, but I must say, I don’t recall the last time I ordered pizza and didn’t use a coupon.

Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes…and that’s when your mom didn’t kick you off the internet so she could make a call.

We had an IT person quit this year because we transitioned to fully remote after they closed down the office in December 2020. He couldn’t handle working from home.

It does seem like the TL;DR of right wing Israelis is “Hitler was right, but his only problem was that he was killing us.”

It will come down to the laws in your country and how much money you plan to spend on lawyers if your employer wants to force the issue.

They’re absolutely right. I don’t believe this.

Taco Bell most likely.

stinerman , 14 days ago to nostupidquestions in What do you do with Nazi memorabilia?

I think it’s better to take the Nazi’s money and use it for good. YMMV. Whatever you do will be fine, I’m sure.

stinerman , 14 days ago to nostupidquestions in What do you do with Nazi memorabilia?

I would auction it off and then take the proceeds and give it to an organization that is dedicated to fighting fascism.

Sent this to my wife and we talked a bit about how I don’t like lights on.

I realized that even when I’m home alone at night (and not taking care so that she doesn’t wake up), I will use the flashlight/torch on my cell phone rather than turn on lights in the house.

Absolutely.

I just picked up Fallout 2 at GOG for $2.49. There are so many games you can get for less than the price of a coffee. The best way to fight against these prices is to simply not buy.

I’m old enough to remember when Doom 64 for the N64 was $74.99. In today’s money that’s around $145.

I’m not saying that’s reasonable, I’m just saying it used to be a lot worse in the cartridge age.

Really the bank should know what they are, and they should say “we don’t accept these.”
