Probably not what this article means but had a coworker at a previous job give a bunch of suggestions or answers at one point (want to say very small company single programmer is me, few tech support and sales people). One guy gives suggestions based on chat gpt, so I end up figuring out what is incorrect from the suggestion.

Mean I know he’s trying to be helpful but giving suggestions that don’t work is a bit of a time waster. To be honest I’m probably middling as a programmer, I can figure out stuff but not a fantastic one (maybe I sell myself short never come across an issue I couldn’t solve but took time). So having to spend time to go over that just makes me go over stuff I really don’t need to. Quite a pain, as much as I appreciate them trying to help it’s a time waster checking out those options to see if they work.

When I slept in the room with the ensuite, we didn’t care when we slept. Mean don’t think either of use dropped deuces (#2) close to sleep time there, we also have 2 other toilets so that bls.

Basically my thought is, if someone can smell it less if I pooped elsewhere in the place, do it that spot. Cause I don’t like smelling poop so assume others do not care to either.

Course I have my own issues but still assume that’s a good rule to live by. Man when a date had a curtain over the bathroom doorway and not a solid (well semi solid there mostly empty in the middle) door I couldn’t relieve myself. Mean enough making out maybe I could tinkle but that’s about it.

In very early 2000s my friends and I used to comment on water appearance in games. If I saw Black Flag ocean then I’d have probably shit myself. Really water was a benchmark between us still recall it on the amd 9500

Sometimes the silliest jokes are just what you need. Though I kinda prefer stupid comedies…okay I usually prefer them but yeah laughing is great.

Even if it’s not a good joke, I always feel things are better after a laugh.

I basically only use Youtube to watch let’s plays (video games) never dipped my toe into other media site to see how it tries to show that stuff. Then if I need something new to watch I’ll find newer games I may be interested in and search accordingly or watch older videos of people that I enjoyed.

I’m sure that keeps me in the bubble of entertainment vs political stuff but really I’ve rarely seen that stuff pop up. I’d probably stop all together if I only saw some of the crap I’ve heard of people’s experiences.

New can be interesting but rather just prefer a good player explaining why they’re playing like they do. Some strategy games (paradox) can be quite complicated to understand the finer points. Makes life better not hearing/watching dumbasses.

Pretty much I don’t care for random audio, I prefer text articles or comments to get the jist of things. I actually hate noise unless it’s for entertainment or another person (well sometimes I don’t care for that but polite society and all).

A 30 second video would be a nice short article.

Haven’t watched it but sounds like someone with strong convictions and an idea why things are the way they are. Hopefully eventually enough people recognize the fact that we need a functional society that allows the random person to feel comfortable. Cause if you get enough itchy people things get scratched.

Learn a other new thing again appreciated, I don’t think I’ve heard of that one…or did years ago and memory failed hard to tell heh. Always nice to realize new things so thank you.

We have the expression (well in English for those unaware of it) of a stopped clock being right twice a day for a reason. Guess that expression is probably going to the wayside these days though. Even the worst people make an agreeable point now and then afterall.

I won’t say it’s always my thing but sometimes a plain action movie with few cheesy lines is all you’re looking for. Definitely saw enough Chuck Norris in the 80s to confirm that.

Seems odd they’d both end up in the same crappy movie together in that year. May not be remembering movie years well but Urban was least in Star Trek and Bettany in Marvel even if only as a voice but assume the plan was to make him Vision from the start.

Was it entertaining at least? It sounds like it could be a fun watch, in theory…like the synopsis of Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst movies probably do.

Talk about feeling old I played almost all the games until 2006, but fewer of the list after and hardly from the 2016 one. Not trying to one up but figured good place to comment.

It’s been a fun time seeing progression over the years, haven’t stopped playing since my first Gemini (Atari 2600 knockoff that played the same games) system. Going from 2d squares to a proper video representation has been awesome. I always enjoyed the graphic improvements the gameplay has had its ups and downs but the remembered ones did that part right.

Very much appreciated, thank you I’ll never understand everything but I’d at least like to have a bit of an idea.of what I can.

Always love their comics but since I don’t know crap about this stuff it’s amusing to see how this one is relevant to a meme. Wish I knew more but only so much I’ve learned so far. One day perhaps but not today.

I always get my isp outers as pass through so network is controlled by my entry. I have never bothered doing much with it but it’s nice to have the option.

I used to use a ddwrt firmware for years but eventually my hardware could never keep up with my net speeds and manufacture firmware was faster. Trying an Omada network now seems alright but haven’t added their wifi.

I do like how Canadians differentiate by saying first nations now though it makes things so much simpler. Do recall native vs Indian days for sure, older myself. ~~~~

My dad was native but I never got the card, band was disolved or something and my dad kept trying but no luck. In the end I’d rather all people have the best rights, we should all have the same rights and then being the best (dental medical education etc). We all live here and want this country to prosper. But evidently the government says that’s not cool. Mean I’d still take our government over the fucking tangerine down south. Fuck that shit but it’s be awesome if we offered everyone advanced schooling and good social net regardless, it only helps build our country.

To be fair I’m not saying anyone should have less we just need to all get the best from our government. I do understand that first nations have been given the shaft but I’d hope the best for everyone gives everyone a boost. Or at least those that need it, cause we’re a decently well off country.

Sometimes I do…most times I’d have preferred better comments but by now I can rewrite it better anyways. So no need for further comments…

Cheap computer (I’m Canadian so let’s say these are maple bucks) say $500, what’s a rental $30 a month, so 16ish months before it’s paid off.

I ran a media PC off a $300 computer for years (I can’t recall exactly least 2 maybe 3). If you need more you probably don’t need a cloud one, if you get a cloud one it’s cheaper to buy a cheap computer every 2 years.

It may make a sense to some but I enjoy having my nas backup and separate media PC. Also if Amazon goes down you can’t even access the calculator, least with no Internet there are options at home.

Definitely one of my favourites somehow didn’t read (well listen) till like 8 years ago, wish I made the effort much sooner but grew up mostly without an Internet or friends to tell me I should check it out…then decades happened. Took me a listen or two to really get it but it’s one of those I pick up on some line I didn’t ponder before that says more than first glance.

Rest of the trilogy is great too I’m hoping the 3rd in the peripheral series will be good.

At my age (sorry dunno yours) everything comes quickly but I agree this, and other tech stuff lately, come on fast these days.

Side note reminds me of neuromancer (book) where it’s described as subcultures can come up and disappear quite fast. Oddly relevant to today even if we can’t plug into the net. It’s a single line in the book so don’t think that’s the focus if you haven’t read it, but I do recommend. Though the prose can’t be difficult sometimes cause sometimes almost written poetic.
