Lol, this isn’t part of my workflow! I just happened to notice it one day and was intrigued.

I have no idea. It was just something I noticed. If I were to guess, it’s just some odd combination of dust, resistance, and the architecture of the cores that causes a hundred little things to mesh together into a whine.

I still listen to the noises. The cpu makes a unique whine when I highlight text.

Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah! Everything else is fine, but you leave my condoms alone! A man needs something in the middle of the night when he gets up for the glass of water and then starts feeling a little peckish. Hunger should not be denied.

And then group c proceeds to grab the first dish with some flippant saying about it being no big deal. It’s not just weaponized incompetence or avoiding any help at that point, it’s being an asshole. Living with others that don’t have cooperation as a goal is a nightmare.

Not a clue. They got it from inside of one of the big box stores or grocery stores, so I guess from one of those little kiosks they sometimes have.

Well, he doesn’t care that facebook tracks him, and you apparently don’t care that youtube sorry, google tracks you.

The faces training was all of the filters. Every single time someone took a video or picture and used filters to add cute moe eyes, or make themselves look like a crab, it was being used to make whichever company was doing it have a better bottom line or to accelerate their facial recognition.

There was a service that only charged if the phone was used that day. A family member of mine would turn on their phone once a month, check messages, make a few calls, and then turn the phone off until the next month. I think they were paying about $2 a month.

One of the few sad things about a transition to a car free(er) environment: no more bucees. They pay well, their bathrooms are great, and their food, though expensive, is great.

Also, you reminded me about the local gas station where I once worked nearby. They had better food, though it was all fried, than any place within a 20 minute drive.

Please stop! The flashbacks, oh god, the flashbacks!

Go watch it, and the show it spawned from. Just be prepared to feel bad because someone yanked it before it finished.

Oh, and show first, chronologically and airing date. Movie has spoilers.

fermented… carrot, onion, and garlic

That’s the way I knew them from childhood. Still bland, still disgusting. The loss of the actual jalapeño’s substance is huge, even if you add in other flavors with it to make it complex. I, with few exceptions, don’t like pickled foods. I also avoid the overpowering condiments. I like to taste the actual foods, not throw something on top that becomes all I can taste.

If I order jalapeños on nachos, I expect them to be pickled.

And you’re free to be disgustingly wrong in your preferences!

I find that it does, but likely because, as the dyslexic said, the pith has the heat, and that always seems to be a victim of the picklers. The only time I find jalapickles to still be hot is if the juice of some hotter substance, like a habañero, gets added into the juice.

Your cat isn’t name agamemnon, is it? Because good lord, that looks exactly like a cat I know, leash and all.

Aye, anecdotally, there was a school near my childhood home, other side of the street and about .8 miles away. The line of cars used to be about halfway to my house. Now, when I visit family, I see it stretching past my house and it at least stretches a full mile in length now. It’s nuts.

The best explanation (ever) for a sovereign citizen is found in a legal opinion by a Canadian judge. He spends about 176 pages delineating their beliefs, origins, and manner of interacting with the legal system.

I’ve had it happen to the point where they’re leaning on the car’s window, and I’m desperately holding in the urge to let my foot off the brake pedal.

Odd. I find it to be the exact opposite. If I want a real article, with thought put into it beside how to make it pop up as #1 in the search engine, I need to set the most recent date possible as prior to 2015 (sometimes even further back).

I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for. News articles obviously have to be recent, and it’s relatively difficult to bullshit your way into an informative news piece. Advice or DIY instructions though? You better search waaaay far back.
