My original reason to get Prime was that I was building a PC and the no-fuss returns policy seemed like good insurance against faulty parts. Some sellers blame problems on the customer or otherwise drag their feet on returns. TBH I hardly watch Prime anymore, but the ads really are annoying. It’s like “Oh sorry, the pitted olives will have pits from now on.”

Netflix Lite - gives you more time to enjoy the ads you love!

If I want to save something I’ll back it up myself. My attitude toward an OS remembering what I do: “We don’t know each other and I was never here.”

I’m currently deciding on a distro so I had a look. Not impressed by their front page - a big pile of sales presentation buzzwords. Their examples of “office software” are music player, screen capture, and video player - wat?

Maybe by “sensitive information” they mean theirs.

Grabs their attention is right, until next Thursday when something else does and we’re back to business as usual. I wouldn’t call it “having a direct effect” I would call it a very temporary delusion of one.

“also I fucked your wife, which I feel almost as bad about, sorry bro.”

“If you can see this it means I have to come back from vacation and go to the fucking office.”

“Somebody get the transition team away from the keyboard please.”

Dunno how much nicotine it would take to kill you but dissolving it in a shot was probably a lot more pleasant than gnawing on it lol. I imagine your heart just gets cranking like a drum machine until it seizes up, probably in a couple minutes - might feel a lot longer. Less messy than a gunshot tho.

I don’t get it, Witcher already has a bunch of female protagonists.

Sometimes a pot roast only goes bad on one side. Any cook’ll tell ya that,

My family skeleton has nothing to do with abuse. My great grandmother got addicted to Laudanum, an old-timey pain killer opiate. To support her habit her husband Barney eventually mortgaged the family farm - which already had a mortgage on it that he didn’t tell the second bank about. He got found out and the sheriff came out to arrest him. Barney asked to go in the house and collect some clothes to take along. He then went into his den, poured himself a shot of whiskey, took a pipe he had smoked for years and scraped the glaze out of the bowl - a powerful storehouse of concentrated nicotine - which he dissolved in the whiskey. He downed this shot and gave himself a quick heart attack. Apparently this was a fairly well known method of suicide back then.

Not sure you read my whole comment but yeah, it has an impact on Tuesday that will last until next Wednesday, or whenever the usual distractions bump this down to the bottom of people’s feeds.

Remember the Panama Papers, which exposed the offshore finance links of the wealthy? Didn’t think so.

Or the Paradise Papers, which also exposed the offshore finance links of the wealthy? Didn’t think so.

It means “Our useful idiot will make us even richer!”

In a recent thread somebody said their great grandmother killed her abusive husband and took their daughter from Texas up to Alaska to live. Another person said their grandmother just made stabbing motions and said something like, “took care of him.”

Almost like “obviously” isn’t a solid argument for anything.

I don’t think American elementary school teachers were allowed to be married until the Civil Rights Act of 1964, at least in some states.

They don’t come in furlongs anymore?

Spoiled rich kid with back pain kills insurance CEO, some industry-wide practices abruptly change.

Public: “Yay, justice at last! Spoiled Rick Kid is a god!!!”

Insurance practices slowly go back to the way they were. New CEO is just as bad.

Public: “The system betrayed us again!”

Duh?

And they lived happily ever after.
