Canine Blues Arooo posted:I'm pretty sure I could fill this thread will the rapidly decaying state of Microsoft Software. Windows, Outlook, loving Excel are all just circling the drain. It makes me laugh that Dynamics is also just seeing stupid changes too. I would go ahead and say that from a combination of capitalism and covid, ALL software that existed pre-2020 is on its way into the toilet (due to staffing changes, for-profit mentality, and AI cost-savings)

The Grimace posted:Echoing this, Lays Stax are way better than Pringles and are usually 20 cents cheaper here. The more prominent "snap" they have when breaking in your mouth is heavenly. Lays Stax have the flavor on the inside of the concave so you can imbibe with impunity and I have written 14 books about how the way Pringles does the complete opposite is essentially a war crime

AARD VARKMAN posted:i was in the grocery store the other day and every single bag of iceberg or romaine lettuce was wilty, there were like 20 tomatoes total, and the hot dog buns i picked in the insanely crowded aisle turned out to be over 2 weeks out of date and seriously hosed up looking when i got to the cash register US Agriculture + Trade has spent the last 50+ years building a network of commerce for food. Most of the food you eat is not grown in America. Why? An excuse to trade. As a result, US farms have dedicated so much of their operations to foreign interests -- Soy Beans, Canola, Castor, Corn, etc. So much so that things such as Lettuce are in basically non-existent growth supply for national markets. Can we blame covid and globalization? Kind of. Covid forced major every government to start thinking about its own people foremost. It's hardly a mystery why a country might shift its food production so that its o own citizens benefit primarily. Can we blame capitalism? 100%. As countries production powers for domestic supply weaken (such as the United States' existing obligations to places like China) they are left with the choices: Make less profit, or make less profit AND also restructure your operations to meet a much-less-profitable domestic need. Capitalism means that no farmer will take EITHER option. Hence we have no lettuce. But there are plenty of soy beans if you need those. edit: Just kidding, you can't buy them, they're earmarked for international markets.

Most people both don't use and actively hate keyboard + mouse setups. It is inevitable that any and every UI will continue to trend to tablet-friendly streamlines. We, the interpret and nerdy pioneers, suffer. Many of here probably type, like, 100wpm or more. We're practiced and experienced with it. Kids these days type like your parents did. 40-50wpm disasters. They did not grow up playing Quake. This will dramatically change everything about how the internet is used. For a lot of people, it'll seem better. For us, it'll suck ridiculous donkey poo poo. GolfHole fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Jul 9, 2023 |

erosion posted:"Report spam and unsubscribe?" If it helps at all, your email is probably known to like, hundreds or possibly thousands of scam lists. There are millions of scam messages going out every hour. The people who run these scams are basically full business enterprises, with multiple staff, multiple offices, and multiple redundancies. One positive email ping means nothing.

DrBouvenstein posted:T-Shirts all suck now. I know I've put on weight, but this isn't about my misguided attempts to still try and fit into a large shirt when I almost certainly need an XL and then getting mad it doesn't fit around the middle. No, this is about the sleeves. buy 'athletic' t-shirts instead they have long sleeves still also they are usually moisture-wicking so they dry sweat quickly you are welcome

They deliberately pick the bad produce and expiring items for curbside + delivery orders because even if only half of people claim a refund it's a lot cheaper than throwing it out. Grocery Store Profits.txt

When there is a still-a-stranger outdoor car being friendly I have found that it is almost always a power thing, insofar as there is usually a second cat around too. Watching. Is the friendly cat posturing over the second cat by claiming the human? Is it showing off its bravado and guile? Is it emboldened by the fact it has overwatch? Does it just want lasagna? I don't know the answer -- but I do know that my 2-cat theory has proven itself more than it hasn't.

wash bucket posted:Welp, YouTube seems to have finally defeated my ad blocker. I'm seeing commercials for the first time in forever. They're starting to directly stream ads packaged with videos. Ad blockers could theoretically detect this and "fast forward" you or something but for all intents and purposes it'll appear the same as any other video and will be unblockable. Youtube is rolling this out slowly so they avoid too much backlash about it. ergo we need a new youtube.

You can make your own tv. Buy a caseless screen, speakers, all the components. Hook it up to a raspberry pi or something. Surely some artisan is making and selling these already.
