Doesn’t help that the media has been infantilizing millennials for 20 years.

It’s 2am and all I have are the extended edition DVDs.

They did (in the US). Bain Capital bled them dry and then sold off the scraps. There have been a few attempts to revive the brand but to my knowledge nothing has stuck yet.

I used to love Al-generated content when I was a kid. Still do, but I used to, too.

until we come up with a solution to this “infinite growth” problem.

This is why cancer research is so important. But for now, we can try the old standbys of surgical removal and full-system poison.

Just another Tuesday in our boring dystopia.

It’s in the settings.

Well I’m glad to hear you had a better experience than I did. I have my fingers crossed that everything holds up on this end, and the washer was a freak occurrence.

you want reliable? go with LG or GE.

Going to have to disagree based on personal experience (which admittedly has limited value). Bought LG washer, dryer, and fridge when we moved. The washer blew the clutch seal after about 4 and a half years. The dryer sensor is unreliable (leading to taking jeans or blankets out, them still being damp, and having to put them back in on a timer). And the fridge compressor sounds like it’s struggling.

The most absurd part is that we replaced the washer with a similar LG model (one with an agitator - I looked into just replacing the part but it was half the price of the washer, the underside of the impeller was moldy because lack of water flow, something no amount of tub clean cycles will fix, and the outer bucket was absolutely disgusting from the leak, with no easy way to hose it out) because everything else was either crap, ridiculously expensive, or both.

I hate this timeline.

Samsung never met a bad idea they couldn’t help but imitate.

That sounds like a nightmare.

We talkin regular mermaid, or reverse mermaid?

Most folks will probably freak out when they see a terminal window (“DOS box”) on a computer.

Many many moons ago I was working at a small mom and pop operation that used ancient PCs to run their registers. The entirety of the front end ran on a 3.5" floppy. One night after closing, I exited to the CLI and opened edit. I typed in “HELP, STEVE BROKE ME” and went to the back to count my drawer. The shift manager had a proper shit fit.

“What are you editing?!? If you break this machine the boss is going to have your head, it’ll cost thousands to have someone come out and fix it!”

I calmly exited back to CLI and ran the front end exe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He’s got to get them from somewhere. They certainly aren’t coming from his little piggy brain.

I’m not sure whether the version of this I saw previously was the original and this post was cropped, or if this post is the original and the other text was added later. But I much prefer the context here:
