What I really don’t get is people delivering with someone else (also an adult) in the vehicle

If you could spend the boring part of your job chatting with friends, would you decline?

When I hear people talking about books, they often speak of them as if it was a comodity. Do some people just read a random book every once in a while?

What am I missing?

Yes. The most clever gangs even incorporate and offer legit security services for the government.

Although, it took them a while to realize that this is the best exit strategy, so the '90s were a bit crazy in the eastern europe.

There. We just broke the law.

They absolutely are. It’s one thing to beg for the right to do something. It’s entirely different to be able to just do it without the permission.

Did people forget how big of a deal the printing press was?

For real. The new logo was the reason I switched back then. It was a tough experience, but worth it.

People hear “technology” and imagine Facebook, when in fact technology means not dying after scratching your foot on a dirt road.

Nope, it’s a CityEL. Originally made in Denmark in 1987. The manufacturer went bankrupt several times. Each time someone else took over up until 2018. The design has never canged much. There has been something like 3 iterations of the top cover and 3 different motors throughout the years. Mine was made in 1995 and utilizes a motor originally intended for a forklift.

When I’m done with it, it will hopefully get a proper registration and will be able to recharge either by connecting directly to the DC output of a solar panel, as well as the standard grid outlet, and a type 2 charging station.

Yes, you can see the french doors in the background. The car itself is a little more than 1 meter wide, with rear-view mirrors sticking out even further. I got something like 5cm to spare on either side.

Can’t speak for the rural people of the US, but when you’re working on a bunch of projects, while the life keeps getting in your way, causing delays, stuff tends to… pile up. For example, I have a car in my living room at this very moment.

Did it seem like a good idea at the time? Sure. 24x7 access regardless of the current weather means more time to work on it.

Did I work on it? Nope.

Was there a wasp nest embedded inside, releasing a steady flow of young wasps inside the house? Absolutely!

Sometimes the victims even pay the attackers money upfront and install the wiretap themselves. looking at my IPTV box suspiciously, while the robotic vacuum hums in the background

The best thieves steal from the poor.

someone with no job

TIL. I’ve only ever heard it as a euphemism for a vagina.

Wasn’t microsoft the only phone manufacturer to ship a standard uefi on their devices? I mean before they eventually scraped what was left off of nokia.

Proxmox is based on Debian, but its installer does not offer you as many options as the base Debian installer. People figured out you can just install debian with your prefered settings and then just slap the proxmox packages on top.

Oracle free tier is honestly not worth the hassle. Their portal is absolutely confusing, and those who figure it out will just get banned.

like the desktop icons, the minimize button, the ability to adjust fonts, change themes, right click menu icons, systray…

Nomophobia

There is a religious figure in the sacred texts of the AllatRa cult, called Nomo. In this context, nomophopbia would be a good thing. Especially once you find out whom in the real world he’s supposed to represent.
