in some neighborhoods, you could literally have a cart corral next to every single parking space and somehow these lazy morons will still leave their cart in a parking space or driving lane.

some months that ‘fee’ is more than my actual usage billing… and that’s without any solar or other ‘green’ improvements.

they must use the same glue to hold the wheels on as they do the side panels and bumpers.

8 hours to pay the landlord, 8 hours to pay the other bills, 8 hours for everything else

it may be a ‘reunified’ state, but the divide between the former east and west germany is very much still apparent in many, if not most, maps that outline pretty much any demographic.

our public utility used to include reports from regular testing in with the bills… they make them available online now (cost saving, it was a specially-printed multi-page insert before), but it’s still public information.

at their peak, the auto skip didn’t even exist… just the manually-activated 30-sec skip that you had to enable yourself like a cheat code in a video game.

replaytv got sued out of existence due to the same basic functionality. dish’s hopper still exists but i think they made a deal with the networks (we won’t sue you if you delay the feature for a number of hours).

the networks will sue as soon as tivo makes it a specific line item on a bill for the specific feature of automatically skipping commercial breaks. and that’s on top of subscribers leaving due to the rug pull… but where tf they gonna go? alternatives kinda suck and are not as easy to set up or use.

little canada, minnesota.

how much of that is a ‘royalty’ payment to dipshit grifter-in-chief?

it’s 64gb so you can run local ai models to ‘re-clutter’ your windows experience.

it’s so much cheaper to buy-up an existing product than starting from scratch in a new market.

i only got rid of my 20in CRT television about two-and-a-half years ago.

that’s what the small square one is!

those were the days, back when netflix gave a month free to new accounts. even when you used a prepaid card, they tacked on the extra month.

mom absolutely loved his movies, so we never missed 'em.

E.T. the dipshit is et, and because the fucking game is bugged, we can’t get rid of him.

fitting. erie is the shallowest, and the most polluted of the great lakes.

The ICE official expressed concern that ZeroFox tech could now be used to weed out whistleblowers and critics of the Trump administration.

sounds more like the actual intended purpose.

i usually optimize images i post. mostly with the help of RIOT, a program and plugin i’ve been using for nearly two decades (yea, even on linux). i keep an old, supporting irfanview specifically for it.

and i always optimize images used on sites i work on that aren’t intended to be high-res (like full-size or detailed photographs). high speed internet was slow to get widely available here, and it’s still not everywhere. the ‘weight’ of a web page view does matter.

i also use browsers the same way. block by default, whitelist known trusted sources only for sites i frequent. and temp accept everything else, but only that which is required to load a page i actually ‘need’ to read. if it’s “too much”, i’ll just take the known page title and run it through duck and find an alternative source… if i care to bother at all at that point.

there’s a very small number of sites for which i use a wholly-dedicated browser for, or at least a separate profile for. they’re custom configured, including addons, specifically for whatever task or site it’s for.
