Maybe not but I’m surprised yours doesn’t. It’s been a common feature for a while, and how long do modern fridges last? Like 5 years?

-al, heathen.

Modern fridges just…do that.

My fridge sends a push notification if the door is opened too long.

I used to have a bread machine and it came with a recipe for potato bread that used instant mash and it was so damn good.

I got rid of it after I gained like 100lbs. Still have the 100lbs but don’t have the bread.

Of course.

Rotisserie Chicken is a loss-leader. But that smell stimulates your appetite and gets you to buy more.

Plus you’re gonna want some high-margin foods to go with it. Maybe some veggies, potatoes. Box mash is a pain in the ass when the chicken is already cooked, may as well get the pre-made heat-and-eat stuff. It’s right here next to the chickens…

Plus if you get box mash you need to get milk and butter too…and walk nearly the entire rest of the store to get all three.

This is basic supermarket psychology.

If we can’t have shitposts then what can we have?

Ehh still better than reddit’s.

I mean yeah that’s one reason.

But the main reason was to be able to form militias to catch runaway slaves. They didn’t want the government interfering with their slave patrols.

Slaves and even freed black men were prohibited from carrying firearms by state law. Dread Scott v Sandford in 1857 even had SCOTUS chief justice saying that black men can’t be citizens because then they could have guns and that would be an unacceptable threat to public safety.

Madison (a Virginian) wrote the second amendment specifically to appeal to Southern states.

One of the primary goals Republicans (the ones that freed the slaves, not modern republicans) had for the 14th amendment was specifically to ensure black men could arm themselves to protect against persecution from ex-slavers in the south.

I know what I’m adding to my ChatGPT system prompt now…

Big Gay AI.

Eventually the AI bubble will burst though.

Super. Thanks for asking.

This is exactly why I switched to LibraOffice.

Rocks or salt. Rocks because they hurt, and salt because it kills them by dehydrating them through osmosis, drawing water out of their bodies

Badoom chicka wow wow.

Lol nobody Rs TFM anymore. I’m in the middle of having ChatGPT teach me terraform lol.

If they want to make me to eat that little they should at least make insurance cover GLP-1s ffs.

Science now has two outlets:

• you can pay money to publish in a scientific journal and get critiqued by other scientists…

• or you can get paid to publish on Amazon and get praised by idiots (while also getting critiqued by other scientists…which won’t matter because by the time your book is popular enough for peers to notice, you’ve already got an army of idiots to drown them out)

Take a wild gander as to which this likely is.

I’ve been quite happy with moonlight/sunshine on Wayland. Is that an option?

I have a few, some fractional shares in a company I used to work for (3-letter US pharmacy chain), that got lost in the ether when porting my 401k out to my next employer. Estimated value < $200

They need a fucking proof of residence matching my address at the time…my early 20s bachelor pad, nearly 20 years ago. My old landlord is dead. My roommates at the time…one went off-grid and disappeared himself, other was and remains a deadbeat and I don’t think he was actually on any bills or the lease anyway.

Is it even worth the effort of trying to track it down now? It’s almost just on principle at this point.

Great things. Terrible, yes. But great.

Reminds me of when I was getting pissed off that, on my work computer, Windows would randomly close Teams Windows and browser tabs, exactly every 59 seconds.

Till I found out that the windows version of caffeine hits the F15 key every 59 seconds by default. I had previously set up PowerToys to map an “extra” key on my keyboard to do Ctrl+W. That “extra” key actually turned out to be F15.
