I’m ineligible to win the Darwin award.

Edit: huh, having kids doesn’t disqualify you.

I’ve never been able to figure out how to use usenet. Do you have any suggestions on how to get started?

Audiobookshelf. I’ve started using it this year, and I’ve listened to it every day except for a single day since I started lol. Its amazing to keep track of my podcasts and audiobooks. My only complaint is the app doesn’t do autoplay for podcasts but headset media controls work, and the web client autoplays podcasts, but my media controls don’t work. Even with those minor complaints, its an amazing tool that I don’t know how I’d live without again.

To be fair, 20 years ago your computer would have choked doing 1/10th the stuff either one of those apps do today. Hell, I still remember writing a prank program that would lock up my school computers because I made it beep too fast.

Experian does it with every. single. login. Really fucking annoying when you have to login multiple times for thawing and whatnot when necessary.

Security Now is great for getting Tech/Security industry information explained in a way that’s fairly understandable even if you’re not immersed in it.

Omfg, one of my banks did this to me and was infuriating. I was able to call in to fix it and made a bug report, but goddamn, what idiot silently truncates the sign up password but not also the login form?!?

No other languages have evolved to say that.

Bloons may have been ported to netflix, but the Bloons games release native on tons of platforms.

It’s basically an electric version of hot potato, The item in my Amazon wishlist is called lightning reaction.

That toy has been in my Amazon cart for like a decade lol

Yep, that’s what happened to mine. The jacket frayed until the wire got out and strangled itself. My 502 is still rocking strong after 5+ years, but here’s hoping your g5 sticks around for a while, that was a great mouse.

I had a G5 for close to a decade and I miss that heavy little bugger. I’ve got a G502 right now and its rather good, but the max weight isn’t as heavy as my old one.

I’m only a few years older than you, but I agree. And I’ll also say that some (respectful) criticism at home is ok, and if I’m honest, should be expected.

We’re all not perfect and can’t expect to get nothing but praise or adoration from our partners, nor should it be expected of us. But all criticism should come from a place of love and respect; it’s not your partner against you about a problem, it’s you and your partner against a problem.

Healthy relationships require hard conversations like that, but no one deserves to be in a relationship where they can’t feel comfortable to be themselves without being attacked for it (with some obvious exceptions).

If you build an idiot proof contraption, the universe will just create a better idiot.

Some people’s bodies continue to grow well after their brain stopped developing.

The republicans have officially made impeachment a purely political performance, just like they’ve treated it for decades.

I think he spiraled for a good while after he broke up with his girlfriend. Seemed like about that time he went dark, but that could be related

I actually didn’t realize that KoR died because I gave up on him a few years before that when he and his wife put out that stupid video where they were denying they were doing click bait shit in a video with the same problem. It was just a bunch of whiney bullshit that showed he wasn’t what is signed up for anymore.

Was rather surprised a few years ago when I went to watch some random video and it was all new people. Still not very interesting.

Yeah, formatting is the only place that I really enjoy using AI. It’s great at pumping out blocks of stuff and frequently gets the general idea of what I’m going for with successive variables or tasks. But when you ask it to do complex things it wigs out. Like yesterday when it spit out a regex to look for something within multiple encapsulation chars just fine, but telling it to remove one of the chars it was looking for was impossible, apparently. Spent 5 min doing something I figured out in 2 minutes on a regex test site.
