I have a bunny named Felix. He likes to lick things, so I called him “Licky Bun” for a bit, that turned in to “Felicky”, which turned into “Licky” and finally “Licker”.

When I come downstairs to work in the mornings, I when I walk by his enclosure and whisper “lickerrrrrr”. The other day my partner told me they hear this every morning, and it’s like an alarm lock.

Yeah. It’s always fun “convincing” the bean-counters that spending money is usually cheaper “in the long run”.

Soecifically, my department was refurbishing laptops to enable us to keep our new hires supplied with computers. We asked for a nice new computer for a department VP coming in, and we got told to send a refurb. That guy put in about a dozen tickets in the first week about how one of the desk workers had a newer computer. We just sent those straight to the team that denied giving us the money for new computers.

And because management lacks nuance, that extra budget came with a new policy…“No more refurbished computers”. So when an intern got hired, and all we had was a few refurbs and a 2200 dollar executive 2-in-1 ultra book, we sent the ultra book. After 3 layers of that guy’s bosses submitted immediate tickets demanding to have their brand new, lower spec machines replaced, accounting finally decided that they should let my team do the work we were hired to do.

All user logons to a non-persistent OS installation such as a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or equivalent as application packages must be installed each logon in such scenarios.

Cries in supporting multi-user AVD Hosts

It’s really useless too. If I wanted to cheat on a test so fucking bad, I’d learn to read braille and just stick reference material under my desk.

Real answer is that the direction AI is going right now is to save money for billionaires, not to improve the lives of everyone else.

Honestly, this works more often than not.

Oh yeah. If you’ve got 4 GB ram, win 11 is going to absolutely skullfuck that machine.

You’re goddamn right.

2016, we got a dictator because people wouldn’t vote for checks notes a “lesser evil”.

2004, we got a warmongering fascist with daddy issues because we wouldn’t vote for checks notes a “lesser evil.”

The irony of saying this when we literally have a fascist dictator trashing the Whitehouse because we checks notes didn’t vote for the “lesser evil” last year.

All those tech companies downsized or all together pulled out for some reason in the last year…

In a different timeline, that would be funny.

Too bad the Arbiter wasn’t around to council on that one.

Some people just obediently blow up the illegal broadcasts without reading them.

I’m here for it. Is it okay if I throw Facebook and Twitter/X on the pyre? I’ve long considered them to be horsemen of the apocalypse.

Yeah. I’m waiting on them to show ICE agents as helldivers or something. That IP could not be more clear about it’s parody of the far right “freedom” quislings.

… Did they not realize that the UNSC is an authoritarian fascist organization, and the Spartan program was originally aimed at fighting “rebels” who wanted to have control over the planets they lived on?

Literally the MC was kidnapped and experimented on to become a killing machine for the military junta for the express purpose of murdering colonists. No pay, no benefits, no end of contract.

There is still time to stop the key from turning.

I worked retail for years. This is every retailer’s company policy. Nothing in that store is worth dying for. The only event where you would go hands-on with someone in your store is when you get to the last option of the active shooter response. The best thing you can do is note what they theives take, and call the cops with a description after they have left the store

I was very nearly run over one time because there was a group stealing shit in my store, but I didn’t know it at the time. They thew a half empty Gatorade bottle at my storefront and when I went out to pick it up, they ran their car up on the curb at me. I ducked back inside the store, locked the doors, and called the police. Reviewed the security cameras and notices they had lifted a few small items from my endcap displays. I also called the store down the street from me that they went to next.

So yeah, if someone was stealing shit from my store, I’d hold the door open for them.
