Blue Powerade slushy from Sonic on a hot summer day is the GOAT

Not a chance. Basically your opinions would be to retrain your entire user base, or set a GPO or Intune policy to disable a service you don’t want.

I lost 7.5 lbs in one night due to that stuff. I went to the doctor because I kept having diarrhea. Turns out I was so constipated the only thing that could make its way out was liquid. I drank a bottle of that stuff and 45 minutes later…well…you know that one scene from Dumb and Dumber? Yeah, that was me for like an hour and half straight.

As someone who lived in a neighborhood without an HOA, I completely agree with this. I had so many bad experiences with the neighborhood without the HOA. Aside from people not taking care of their yards or houses, including one person who replaced their grass with laminate tiles, there were much worse things.

There were constantly cars parked up and down the streets blocking your view and making it impossible for two cars to pass. We had two neighbors feuding over parking in front of each other’s houses. One of them decided to line the curb with cones. And the other would just leave their trash can out 24/7 blocking the curb.

I had a neighbor start a computer refurb business out of their garage. Which caught on fire at least 3 times. One time it caught on fire and there were so many cars parked on the street the firetrucks couldn’t make it to their house.

The neighborhood I live in now has the perfect balance. The HOA is run by a 3rd party who does not live in the neighborhood. And all rule changes require a meeting and at least half of the residents need to be in attendance before it can be taken to a vote. This keeps one neighbor from taking things over and turning into one of those nightmare HOAs you always hear about.

Had to look it up, he is the head of Threads

Microsoft in 1995: Let’s put the start button at the lower left. So people can always find it.

Microsoft in 2012: Start button is gone, but you can still click the lower left, like you have been for 17 years.

Microsoft in 2013: Fine have your button back since everyone is so used to clicking on it.

Microsoft in 2021: Let’s make the start button move around every time you open and close anything.

Not anymore. The last version of Windows 11 I installed on bare metal did not allow the trick when you just turn off the WiFi. I had to Shift+F10 to get to the command prompt, enter “oobe\bypassnro”, then reboot before it would allow a local account.

I’ve played around with a few of them. I’ve found LM Studio the most robust and user friendly.

I did buy a house in 2008. January of 2008. Two months before the market crashed. It took me years not to be upside down.

I’ve failed 6 times today

I’m so sorry to hear that.

But on a lighter note, I glad to see I’m not the only person with dogs that lay next to their beds instead of on them.

Xennials here, can confirm, this will be stuck in my head for a week now.

I was singing to my daughter when she was around that age and told me to stop singing. I asked why and she told me, because you can’t

Windows accounts for 12% of their profits, and I’m willing to bet that the consumer versions are a very small part of that. Most businesses are not buying OEM licenses. They are already using a subscription model for M365 which includes Windows licenses or a standard EA or SA agreement.

They learned after the Windows Phone that they don’t need to win the client OS battle as long as they can get their other products on the devices. Since then Windows has really focused more on keeping you locked into the Microsoft ecosystem versus keeping locked into Windows itself. Hence why the upgrades have all been free where in the past you would have to repurchase each new edition of Windows.

Of course I could be completely wrong. They have done some bonkers stuff in the past.

As someone who has to use Azure DevOps for work, I can safely say GitHub is safe. Microsoft put so much effort into while Azure DevOps seems like an after thought to them now.

I would consider what my company is doing right now as board line abuse. They’ve done two rounds of layoffs this year, but the amount of work as not been reduced in the slightest. So everyone is overworked and scared of saying anything in case there is another round of layoffs. Of course this is also having a ripple affect where long-term hardworking employees are jumping ship.

I currently have a backlog that is four years long. That was when I had a team working for me. Now I’m the only person on the team and not a week goes by when I don’t get ask what the status of XYZ is. Or have 2-3 more “high priority” things added to my backlog.

For those like me who have only heard it called SAG, SAG-AFTRA is Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Since I guess the article assumes everyone knows that already.

But call me Aloysius Devadander Abercrombie

The biggest obstacle, besides politics and oil/gas money, is neither of these cities are non-car friendly. Both cities are so sprawling you end up spending significantly more time using public transportation than driving. That’s even if public transportation goes to the part of the city you need.
