Can we stop giving meanings to numbers, please? I can’t keep up. How long before my kid’s math homework tells me to microwave my cat or something?

It was in the fridge for 11 of those 12 hours!

My wife just threw out a ~12 hour old fried rice we doggy bagged last night that I was planning on lunching on because we “touched it with our spoons”. Sigh.

The removal of YouTube dislike is still fucking infuriating to me. I get it: now I have to watch the video to find out if it’s a piece of shit, and that’s exactly what they want, but holy fuck what a shitty decision designed to waste my time and maximize their chances to flash an ad in my face.

Sexy Parodius

It’s super fun to get drunk and play through. Fantastic music! Gotta MAME it, though. Unless you actually have a Sexy Parodius machine.

OMG, I just realized she looks exactly like “GIVE HIM A TICKET” lady.

Judging from responses in here, I got unlucky.

Philips Sonicare. My first two developed the same problem: some connection inside came loose and the head would be loose and rattly. I tried opening them up and fixing them, but they were too bent out of shape. My third one ( a slightly different model) is going strong for some time now, so maybe I just got unlucky.

Electric toothbrushes. They really are superior to regular old brushes, but they tend to break down after less than a year and aren’t exactly cheap. Ironically, the last time mine broke I replaced it with the cheapest one and it’s lasted longer than the ones before it. Go figure!

Phoenix Suns for me. I don’t even like basketball.

Maybe we should be trying less hard to not hurt ourselves. 😝

I stumbled a few months back stepping over a rope that was about fifteen centimeters off the ground and cracked a rib or something. I didn’t even fall, just kinda leaned forward the wrong way a bit. Pain for weeks.

Haha! I started watching one Pewdiepie video, I dunno, five-or-ten years ago or something, and as soon as I started the video he started screaming. I turned it off and never went back.

Yep. There are still swastikas all over Korea because it’s been associated with Buddhists for far longer than Hitler who appropriated it. Freaks out visiting westerners, though.

Ubuntu 6 on a Samsung laptop I had lying around 2006ish. The webcam and trackpad wouldn’t work, but a mouse and not caring about the webcam made that tolerable. It was the only OS I ran for a year or so. I went back to Windows for gaming shortly afterwards, but have been using Linux off-and-on in some form ever since.

It’s been largely phased out in Korea as well.

That’s good to know. Thanks!

I’m curious. I just updated to Windows 11 because I got tired of the full-screen EOL IS COIIMING PANNIICC! messages. I also just moved. I will be plugging in my PC tonight and won’t have Internet until the day after tomorrow. I wonder if it’ll let me do anything.

That’s what tax is.

Yeah, a good example of auto-correct being - as is more typical - useless.
