Plenty of people saying their tap water is not good. Just buy/install an RO for your tap ya dummy. They aren’t that expensive or difficult to install. Or some kind of brita-type filter. I’m lucky enough to have an in-fridge filter. Cold, clean water on tap. It’s the best.
Bottled water companies don’t produce water. They produce plastic bottles.
What a drag.
Is there a way to this with like a MAC address instead of an IP? Allowing specific devices (my parents have a Firestick that they travel with) would be pretty ideal.
I recall he was actually somewhat progressive at first, but then he had a stroke and suffered brain damage and is now a republican. Go figure.
I’ll probably be hung for this one but Disco Elysium.
And the thing is. I like text heavy decision-based games. Like I could go on and on about Shadowrun Dragonfall. But Disco Elysium was just so drab. It just felt like a slog of memorization, and when I gave up on trying to do that I was like “okay, I’ll just play and do whatever I feel like” the game punished me. Maybe people like that? I don’t know… Like… Maybe I like games for escapism? So playing some peice of shit alcoholic didn’t do it for me? It just felt like a depressing version of a good game. People kept telling me “you just need to keep playing it gets so good”. At like 6 hours in when it’s not good yet, you failed at good story telling and you failed at good game development. To each their own I guess.
Ugh. My friends and I recently played through “V Rising” . It’s a good game. It’s like Valheim meets Diablo but you’re vampires… Because of our busy adult lives we played together once a week for usually 2-3 hours. It’s took us damn near a year to get to the final boss, and it was just wipe after wipe after wipe. We weren’t making any progress. Like we couldn’t get him down past 75% life no matter how hard we tried. We changed our skills and equipment, same thing. We looked up some guides online and they were basically like “git good”
We never beat him, because we didn’t want to waste any more of our limited adult gaming time just getting crushed by a boss for hours.
It was such a slap in the face because nothing else in the game was that difficult. There were some tough bosses that took us down maybe 3 or 4 times. But this was just hours of getting wrecked without even getting close to winning. It was truly a morale blow.
Sigh… We switched to a different game, and I guess we will just never finish that one.
It’s pronounced ketch-up
I used to work IT in a hospital, and you would be surprised how many medical devices still run Windows 7 or even XP. Offline devices, of course. And behind locked doors. But stuff for scopes etc.
They are? Could you explain? Because I was under the impression they were synonymous.
The most recent one followed the anti-soda and anti-sugar trend. Hard Seltzer, as far as the eye can see. I feel like it’s on the way out though. What will they think of next!?
They said the dystopian part out loud.
I love to shit on middle management as much as anybody else, but good managers are great. My manager worked his way up as a systems architect. He’s incredibly smart, very friendly, and always has my back.
What getting rid of middle management does is build a solid wall between the workers and the upper class. There’s no corporate ladder to climb. If you start at the bottom, you stay at the bottom. The people on top hire their buddies and other people in their class. This is like a drone strike on the shrinking middle class.
And it’s got “cool” right in the name!
I do the same, but I have different colors. Like I have the same tshirt in 12 different colors. The same shorts in 5 different colors. The same shoes in 5 different colors. Etc etc. I usually just grab what’s on the top, but occasionally have to grab the next thing if it’s too mono-color.
It’s happening??
“No one in the group examined Trump face to face, the letter said, nor is he a patient of anyone in the group.”
Oh… Nevermind
Sure. Draw the cube for me and I will plot it’s path.
Totally thought the last line was going to be:
“for this phone to flop”
Either way, good poem.

Find your local tournament, get accepted by them. They will teach you new tech, be super friendly and accept you as one of their own. Then one of the TO’s will sexually harass and/or attempt to rape you. If it’s not a TO, it’s another member of the community.
Really weird and consistent shit.
Never seen that in the USwith dogs, but I have seen it with cats. Sometimes an area will just have a cat that will bop around the neighborhood begging for food. A bar I frequented in my 20s had an outdoor seating area and I always enjoyed when the neighborhood cat swung by for a visit.
Good point. And it’s often just municipal water too. So uh… Tap water.
