(H)Okay so…

It made sense with t9 texting. Smartphones have easy to use keyboards and autocorrect. No reason to still type like you have to make 7 or 8 key presses to type “you.”

I remember a study that linked car colors with people’s perception of the economy or something. When people were optimistic, they bought brighter colors.

But all I want is fun brought back to cars. Give me neon, pastels, or bright colors. I’m sick of the monotony on the road of white, gray, and black. Even the reds and blues are darker and deeper. Give me a nice surf green or candy apple red.

My parents put in a stair lift. I’d expect more are doing something like that where they are a few thousand bucks. But you still need to be able to transfer to/from the seat. It doesn’t accommodate a wheelchair.

It’s not such an extravagant purchase when it’s the only way my father could make it up and down from his bedroom.

There was an article just days or a week ago about prisoners who were stuck in cells that were flooded and toilets that didn’t work and backed up into their cells for days following Helene.

She also wrote a great book that I recommend.

Ah yes, the tech the deep state so controls, but somehow Trump still let hurricanes hit and refused to use the same technology for whatever bullshit he would while he was president and had control of this supposed technology.

You put new thermal paste on things? Did you remove the CPU as well? You could have damaged some pins there too.

The delay in the failure sounds like it could be as the components expand with heat.

Take it apart and look at all the pins of both the RAM, RAM slot, and CPU (if you removed that) for any damage.

I would unironically drive something like this. I’ve often wondered if I could make a street legal go cart.

Oh man. The crushes I’ve gone through. Some I’ve helped set up after they rejected me.

Some are bittersweet though. I’m always so happy that they’ve found someone that makes them happy but sad that our friendship dwindled as a result.

It makes me want to make more of my own stuff. Sewing isn’t terribly hard for basic patterns and machines are relatively cheap

I honestly don’t know. It’s just something that requires a lot of programming and logical flow knowledge. So I imagine that skills would translate well. I don’t work in that field, but it’s an area of tech that isn’t talked about much and aligns with other mechanical proclivities.

The state mandated the outcome. The town came up with a plan to meet that outcome. The voters should be voting on the plan, not the outcome. Or perhaps the town needed to raise funds by raising property tax. That’s something that voters would need to approve.

But some people will try and be indignant and vote no regardless of the plan to try and defy the state.

PLC automation and programming.

All the fancy computer controlled industrial equipment.

Everyone talks like it’s the dock workers going on strike that’s the issue and not the corporations refusing to pay more.

Businesses make decisions to have a strike by refusing to listen to their hundreds or thousands of workers.

I can’t stand the competitiveness now. Like, I know I suck and I’ll never be good because quick reactions aren’t my jam.

I still want to play every now and then, but since I play infrequently I really need something with a very simple mechanic. 30 characters to pick from is overwhelming and I can’t learn how to level up and pick a character build during the 10 minute matches and I’m not going to study builds before I play games casually. And I feel bad when I’m trying to learn and I sink the team. Like who wants to be the one that causes a dozen other people to not have fun or get frustrated. Give me counterstrike. You get good guys or bad guys. Then a handful of guns in very specific categories.

I really like RPGs where I can take my time and learn the game. Where mechanics arent too crazy and where there is only one currency in the game.

I feel like it’s become too complicated to pick up some games now.

You’ve got normal gold, then some weird premium gold that you get at a much slower rate. And somehow a third currency that you can only buy.

There are hundreds of build paths, and somehow within the first 5 levels before you even know the game or whats good you have to make a decision and lock yourself out of half of them.

Each character has a gimmicky different way to level up or learn moves.

Then there are mini games, where you have to collect things or others where you now need to level up in a whole different way. And then lock out entire portions of the main game unless you spend a dozen hours playing a mini game that really isn’t that fun.

But I digress, I really like single player that at this point are pretty easy to get into and start having fun or experience the story right away.

I don’t use the service, but I know a lot of banks do it. It’s really nice for the bullshit places that add “convenience fees” to pay electronically. Which I always found funny. Since the electronic payment is way more convenient for them than getting paid by check.

See if your bank does “bill pay” where you can add bills and they mail a check for you. It’s usually free.

Was maybe 20 years ago. People said it wasn’t true. But I swear to you.

I was also named person of the year. Maybe 20 years. Maybe 19. Possibly 18. But maybe 20. Who knows. That’s the thing. Nobody knows. They say “you” weren’t person of the year. But that’s a lie.

As my girlfriend will attest when it happens, I will yell at the car “I know more than you!”

Maybe they help sometimes, but they have too many false positives.
