I used to have my pockets always filled, but since a couple of years I have a leather bag (i.e. a manpurse or as my wife calls it: the gay bag) in which I have my work phone, keys, wallet, chewing gum, sunglasses, reading glasses, paper tissues and sometimes a drinking bottle. Also occasionally a book.

I have 4 cats and I handle them all without getting scratched while trimming their nails. There is one cat that will bite the nail scissors, she is tricky to handle because of that. When she catches a finger between the nail scissors and her teeth, she bites full force and that does not make a pleasant experience. I tried burritoing her, but it’s just easier to have her on her back and using sleight of hand to distract her.

I think he has incredible interviewing skill. The guests are often not very interesting though, although they sometimes have absolute gems. The one that surprised me the most was Naomi Campbell. That woman is way smarter than I ever would’ve guessed.

I say it every now and then, but only for normally abled people acting like idiots. Is that an acceptable use?

It’s actually quite ironic that the best phone to degoogle your life is sold by google.

I went to check on the valve after reading this comment and apparently it takes hulk strength to move it even a tiny bit. Thanks for making me aware of this. Will get that sorted today.

Yep, exactly the same. Has saved my ass on an occasion or two when changing the uplink config.

I have never heard of this kind of thing being an issue in EU countries. If your warranty is still good, they’ll simply fix/repair it without issues. Of course that’s purely anecdotal.

The guy on the left is sad because they missed the guy on the tracks, and the guy on the right is happy because he can see a train coming from the other direction.

Waw, a backgammon meme! As an avid player, that makes me happy.

I was in the market for something low budget with two nics for a local firewall. Since this gave me a nice discount on top, I ordered a zimaboard now as it’s pretty much exactly what I need. Thanks for the tip

Crock, as you are, as you were, as I want you to be…

Ah, that hits close to home. I have spent a lot of time and energy to get my direct bosses onboard with following best practices and doing things right from the start. To their credit, they got onboard with it and are pushing that message themselves now. Of course, the board doesn’t care about that and just jams random projects with strict deadlines without any thoughts given to the IT aspects of it up our asses, but our head of IT has apparently grown a spine and started pushing back, with some moderate success.

The MO of my company has for years been: do a POC and then as soon as it works, push that POC in production. I’m still cleaning up the mess of idiotic shit like that from 15 years ago.

I saw a comment about kagi.com two days ago in a thread complaining about duckduckgo and decided to try it out. The search results are spot on every time so far, so I might keep using it and get a paid account.

But it is steadily improving. A couple of months ago the everything feed would hardly change in 24 hours. Now when you refresh after 4 hours you already see a lot of new content. It’s not a sprint, this is a marathon and lemmy has a highly engaged user base.

The mod tools are improving, the content is improving, the user base is active and engaged, the larger instances have become stable and there are a ton of third party apps available now. Things are looking up for lemmy, and the users will come whenever a large site like reddit screws up again.

Well, I learned something new today. Now I’m happy I don’t have a tail.

We have 4 and two litterboxes. No issues with them doing their thing. I have had it recommended we need more litterboxes, but since there are no issues, I don’t really see the point. That being said, we religiously clean those twice a day, so I suppose that helps. And on the point of 4 cats, I agree, it’s a bit much. We had two and then last year we found two kittens on the street (not at the same time), one scroungy as hell and the other one had a gaping wound. We nursed both back to health and then didn’t have the heart to give them away, so yea, that’s how that went.

I travel a lot and taking your bags with you on the plane is just inefficient as fuck. Sure, you’re out of the airport 5 minutes quicker, but you also have to take that shit everywhere with you. I consider you the amateur traveller.
