Popcorn makes me fart.

I eat it anyway.

Toot toot toot.

And you’re kinda into cats.

I just want the train from Denver to Boulder that was promised back in the early 2000s. We voted for it, we funded it, and it… never happened. Now the money is gone. Nobody knows why.

So please do it. Start there. Then go up to Fort Collins so my son can get to college, then finish the southern route.

We do like trains. Everyone should like trains.

Oh yay… a low-speed rail from… Pueblo to Fort Collins.

That will literally never happen. As much as I’d love to use it the one time a year I need to make a trip like that, the ROI would be so far in the negative, even I’d vote against it… and I’m a train aficionado and a fan of government-funded rail.

My wife bought a new Pixel 8 recently from Google Fi. They sent a Pixel 6a for some reason. She attempted to work with their incompetent, powerless, disconnected and foreign support for a week to get something to happen, desperately reaching out every day for someone to just tell her what was happening. Then, she just purchased a new one because you can’t go longer than that without a phone.

Then it was 2 more weeks of them failing to issue a refund for the original wrong phone, trying to ship another phone that she no longer needed, and simultaneously trying to bill her a penalty for not yet activating the phone that was originally shipped.

All it would take is one person who had information, authority, and a modicum of understanding. Nope. That is not a thing that can be achieved through any level of escalation at Google anymore.

Nokia had the same problem recently during a recent issue. They have intentionally made it impossible to solve issues. This is what some companies want. Don’t buy from them.

"Prosecutors said Philip Sean Grillo, who is running for the seat previously held by George Santos, had videotaped himself during the 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Interesting. I’m curious why he brought 20+ year old video equipment with him. It seems like the article would address that oddity. It’s getting tough to find new old stock blank video tapes.

I can’t imagine a more unpopular idea in all of politics.

I’m not sure if lawyers think their words are magic sometimes, or if they’d just really like them to be magic.

I live in a state that prohibits most non-competes from employers, and any effort to try to get employees to sign overly restrictive agreements can actually result in a fine and penalty. My company sent me a legal agreement saying that by signing the doc and continuing to be employed, I agree to waive my state’s protections against non-competes. As if… that would hold up in any court, ever.

It’s a blatantly illegal clause and I could have fought it at the time… but in the end I knew it was totally unenforceable at worst. I’ll go after them for the penalty if they ever try to enforce it, or if I leave under bad circumstances. It was more valuable to me to have this document than it is for them to have it.

Not a domain, but I did register a yahoo email address of [email protected] just to confuse people who asked for my email address.

People need to be willing to suffer small conveniences to send a message to companies, but they aren’t. And then they complain that the government should step in, while they constantly elect people who protect business interests and are anti-consumer in the name of “small government.”

It’s requires at least one or the other… a free market with consumers who drive the demand, or big government. With neither, you end up with constant corporate abuses.

Google search does it too. Hangouts used to. Not sure about Messages and other Google services.

If you’re choosing to do audio production in Linux, the odds are that “easy” wasn’t your top decision criteria. lol

Personally, I recently hooked up my Berhinger USB audio interface to Mint, and Ardour and Audacity saw it immediately. I was impressed. I was ready to google around for how to use lusb and dmseg and shit because I never remember what I’m doing.

It would be best to make the switch today. That has the dual benefit of a) Showing Google that they will lose users, and maybe they will change their mind (again), and b) Show every website that they do need to put actual effort into supporting and testing against Firefox.

I mean… he’s already a rapist, found to be 100% liable for his rape by a court, just this year.

And this article is claiming that a blow to his business reputation might change his story.

Rape is bad. People should really take notice of the raping thing.

I remember purchasing Opera mobile. I can’t remember if it was for Windows Mobile 5/6 or if it was the super early Android. It was the only browser that really worked on that phone, whatever it was. Well worth the $5 or whatever.

I don’t get the outrage. I’m sure his campaign headquarters was just a little warm and he needed something to create a breeze and cool things off.

A place that only sells fans is where I’d shop as well. Nobody knows fans like a place that is for Only Fans, right?

I have been looking for high-quality video of Junkyard Wars for years. I found one torrent once of like 320x240 rips of a singe season. It’s miserable.

Don’t forget the raping, which a court found he definitely did. I don’t know why that isn’t mentioned in every article. “Proven rapist, Donald Trump…”

Pretty sure that’s John Hamm with photoshopped hair?
