I wonder how long it will take for all the NSFW artists to leave now?

Gonna have to disagree with you on Popeyes. They’re generally good for the first few months they’re open, the nosedive. The fries are good, the chicken is dry and extremely thin for what you pay.

A US news echo chamber at the whims of whatever they think will appease trump is going to be horrifying…

Try Linux in a VM (virtual machine) for a while.

• Low hassle compared to dual booting,
• no risk of Microsoft randomly doing something to windows that breaks your Linux install.
• low/No system downtime if you decide you don’t like one distro or another and want to switch,
• no loss of game data for your son (I’ve lost so many saves because of games putting them in nonsensical places in windows; why is appdata still the default for minecraft saves!?)

IT support everywhere sigh in satisfaction

I would not be surprised if this was repealed (if only as an effort to further purge government employees):

Prior to this, my understanding is that back pay was given in good faith, not by actual requirements.

The first Trump presidency is known for the longest government shutdown in US history.

Job stability is not a given for federal employment anymore.

Other than that, I would say non-defense jobs are certainly worth maintaining institutional knowledge.

Squirrels and raccoons are wildlife.

Keeping wildlife as pets is generally not legal.

I legitimately asked my dad to buy an airhorn at one point while I was still living at home (only used a few times, once with a cat sleeping on me; I was VERY lucky not to have been clawed). I have (and still do occasionally) shut alarms off in my sleep.

I am just very hard to wake up and keep awake for the first hour or two if a day.

I think the strobing lights idea is genius

Probably good enough for police to half ass their way into a warrant?

McConnell with the facesitting fetish

exits stage left to vomit at the imagery

I didn’t either, but if I am cursed with this thought, so is everyone else.

Bold of you to think trump would go down on anyone.

Cheaper to just bribe a couple teenagers and give them slingshots 😁

I just use an app on my phone. Being able to set a timer with multiple stages is important to me for baking (I can make a custom timer that pauses at each stage of rising).

If i just need a quick timer, the basic clock app works for me.

Ehh, plant a tree sapling over it and nobody will find it. Trees will devour a carcass for it’s nutrients.

Responding to them only confirms a person exists at your number. Flag them as spam and ignore them.

Samsung is known to be one of the more cancerous of ad-ridden “smart” TVs

I haven’t had any issues with my Sony TV but I bought it several years ago and don’t really use it (I generally consume content on my PC with 3 monitors). It is not connected to any network.

(Disclaimer; don’t do this.)

Prooobably Klan shit

If the conversation is civil I’ll comment occasionally, but i don’t think I’d care if my instance defederated from them. They’re where a lot of tech related conversations are, sadly.
