Yeah, I wonder which one I’ll choose.

Kiwi strawberry Snapple.

It was a 30 years ago, but it kinda killed the whole concept of calling things “gay” for me.

That must be why mobile and discriminating populations choose to move to China.

Never give up the domain. I’ve let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.

Man, I rode my bike everywhere as a kid. I could get through 5-6 elementary schools. I could get to the rich kids neighborhood and the ghetto. I could get to 2 different movie theaters. I could get to 6 different great record shops.

I miss mixed CDs. You meet someone, you understand their music tastes, and you make them a mix of stuff that you think they’d like, but from your favorite known artists. I made plenty, and ones I received got me into some awesome bands.

Have you tried explosive diarrhea? You will.

I’n using Elementary OS right now. It’s been my daily driver for several years on a low powered laptop as a Chromebook replacement. I run browser, messaging, and occasionally some light photo or audio editing.

No complaints. Works great. Solid. Looks great. If you have a similar use case, I recommend it. All of the people ITT talking about what’s wrong with it have not changed my mind that it’s just what I need.

I hear Americans eat babies too. I’m not even sure they are human, right?

I’m sure people get annoyed or ignore you because you’re just too truthful, not because you’re ridiculous.

I’d be surprised if Chase actually did this. This is just ammo for pro-corporate politicians and lobbyists. “Government rules are going to make it worse for people, see? Stop making rules or all the banks will have to do this!”

It’s bullshit. Keep making rules. Big banks are dangerous.

Interesting. I’m running it on a Celeron N4020 with 4GB RAM right now. This system was allegedly shitty in 2019.

I replaced my Chromebook with Elementary OS. On it’s face, it’s a lightweight, web browsing OS with a limited “App Center” of approved apps (similar to ChromeOS), but underneath, it is a Debian-based distro that you can do anything you want with.

This just in: Google suddently discontinues support for popular and profitable ad blocker blocker blocker blocker, because literally all they know how to do is kill things that work.

My favorite stores in the mall in the 80s and early 90s were the Electronics Boutique, Waldenbooks, Tape World or Sam Goody, and Sharper Image. None of those thing exist anymore. When I go to the mall now, it’s 90% clothes and jewelry, and I’m just not that interested in it.

My kids like the rock/skate shops like B&C, Hot Topic, Zumiez, Vans… but it’s still just basically clothes.

Disagree. I owned flagship Androids from the G1 until last fall.

Android is a privacy nightmare, and serves no technical advantage over an iPhone. So I got an iPhone. It’s 100% as adequate of a black rectangle that runs apps as any Pixel.

What exactly does Google have left that people like? Gmail?

Shhhh! Dammit. Now they are definitely going to realize they haven’t ruined it yet.

If you use Debian-based linux (Ubuntu, Minut, others), Mozilla recommends getting the package directly from their respository rather than flatpak or other repos.

Personally, I saw a major performance increase on my low-powered laptop when I switched from flatpak to the Mozilla package.

Dell Latitude 5000 series are usually bought by corporations for employees. They are made of sturdy metal, and have features like backlit keyboards and physical trackpad buttons. Then, after 2-3 years, or if they have some minor problem, they end up in a giant stack that either never gets diagnosed, or just gets sent to recycling.

I have had fantastic luck getting a couple of these either direct from the company I’m working for, or from ebay or a company that recycles laptops. They usually don’t actually have a problem, and if they do, parts are readily available on ebay. You can end up with a high-spec laptop from just a few years ago for practically nothing.

I quit smoking and got on the nicotine lozenges. I was eating a bunch of lozenges, almost constantly. Then I started kinda smoking again, but didn’t stop the lozenges. Then I had a stroke which left me with a permanent disability, likely partially caused by wild blood pressure swings due to high levels of nicotine.

I quit by default after 3 weeks in a rehab center. The lesson here is… quit before the hospital. It’s worth it.

I got an idea.

Aggressively develop and move everything to non-fossil fuel technology. Share that technology with the rest of the world. Then, boom: Iran loses 70% of it’s GDP, and everyone wins without any shots fired.
