I cleaned up when I moved, so the oldest gadget I have right now is a 15 year old MSI laptop, still happily running with linux.

Holy shit his sex offender record is the first thing that comes up when you search his name.

I was fresh out of college so was very susceptible to anyone calling for an interview invite. Got a call from a company I didn’t recognize and I was too innocent to not question how they even got my number. I dressed up and everything, brought my resume, etc. When I arrived, there was a bunch of us and then there was a presentation.

Yep, you guessed it, it was an MLM. It was the mid 2000s, so it wasn’t really well known as an MLM or pyramid scheme at the time. Hell, I couldn’t even understand why I was sitting through a presentation and not doing an interview. I realized it wasn’t a job when they started asking for money to commit. Barely 20 me still didn’t realize it’s a scam, but fortunately I literally had no money so couldn’t offer anything either way lol. After a lot of prodding, they finally let me go if I wrote down the names and number of 5 people I know. Then I realized that’s how they got my number. Someone in my circle went through the same thing and gave my contact info away.

I noticed I’ve been using “for sure” on in-person conversations often. Not on chats and comments for some reason though.

The same for me, but with Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never see him disappear into a role for some reason.

Dude watched too much action movies.

I don’t think taller trucks make you less exhausted. It boils down to how comfy the seats are. And cars and smaller SUVs typically have more comfy seats, unless you have a newer truck that boasts a car-like ride and comfort.

As for tips: Check out some videos on how to properly adjust your driving position. Get something for lumbar support if your car doesn’t have it. And take breaks, don’t force yourself to drive all the way in one go.

Every few hours or so, refresh the air in the cabin by opening a window for a few seconds.

Ok so this is a bit clearer than yesterday’s news that said he opened the emergency door and jumped out before the crash.

Right, I understand he was in the best position. But if you see the videos, it crashed within 32 seconds of liftoff, and there wasn’t really indication other than it stalled at the same very low altitude until it quickly went down, unless it was obvious inside (i.e. oxygen masks deployed, etc.).

If he managed to open the emergency door and jump out within that time span, that is some very very quick timing and reflexes.

On a related note, are the reloadable plastic strings on electric trimmers intentionally designed to unravel within a few uses so you have to keep buying replacements?

Wait, how? Based on what I’ve seen (might no longer be the case as with ongoing investigations), the plane crashed literally within seconds of getting airborne. How was he able to 1. Know the plane was gonna crash, and 2. Be quick enough to unbuckle, open the emergency door, and jump within seconds?

I wonder how a corporate product deal would ever be cheaper than FOSS software. Bundled apps perhaps? And maybe central management? And maybe centralized or cloud-based storage and content management?

Aloha Burger! It’s good.

I take them off because I can’t see shit.

QR coding everything. It has it uses and is practical in certain use-cases, but don’t use it everywhere.

A belt-like loofa that you hold on both ends and pull from side to side.

Thunder is cross-platform. For desktop UIs, I prefer Alexandrite because of its 2-column layout option that maximizes screen real estate and allows one-tab browsing.

I chose lemmy.zip because it has similar fed/defed policies as lemm.ee.
