  • I use mine all the time, much easier than dealing with a nasty sink strainer as I just spray down the sink into the disposal and run it. Also keeps the trash from smelling.

    If it’s being smelly under the sink, it’s broken or not installed right. If it’s being smelly from the drain hole sink side then you’re not cleaning it from time to time (Which is as easy as dropping in some cleaner and running it every other month or so).

    I’m actually looking to upgrade mine so it can handle some bones





  • Health, Financial and Education are some of the worst sectors to work in IT for differing reasons. (And usually, DON’T give a salary to match)

    Health, because if something breaks people might just not be able to work, people might die. And regulatory environment.

    Financial, just sucks because of the regulatory environment and banks are some of the worst offenders of “IT is just a cost center”

    Education, (Well funded colleges/universities might be different) because of lack of funding and annoying bureaucracy

    I’ve worked in 2 of the 3 (education and financial) in IT and they SUCKED, but probably would have been a bit better if I had a good paycheck to match the suckiness.

    I will never work any of those three again.






  • If my Apex client tells the server I got a perfect headshot, how would the server know I didn’t fake the data?

    Any game that works like that is fundamentally flawed and AC is nothing but an attempt at a cheap bandaid at best.

    The client should be doing nothing but rendering and sending player actions to the server and the server should be managing the game state as well as running its checks on those actions. And when one client sends actuons that are weird and doesn’t line up with it’s internal game state it should kick the client immediately always deferring to what ITS game state is telling it, not the client.


  • One echo chamber is spreading toxic shit and pushing fascism in an attempt to take away all our rights in one way or another.

    The other echo chamber is spreading facts, truth, empathy, science.

    One of these is objectively better than the other. By a wide margin. Have you ever tried to get a family member to quit mainstream SM when they don’t want to? It’s like trying to get a drug addict to stop. It’s a shitty situation with no good options, but the stream of toxic shit needs to stop.


  • Like old school antenna? Do they have one of those big roof top antennas? If so, you might be able to splice the line somewhere inconvenient and insert something that’ll cause just enough interference to make it annoying over the better alternatives like streaming.

    Gotta be careful though, OTA tv is their jam unlike all the other “high tech new fangled wizardry”






  • Heh, I’ll do ya one better, I already replied with this to someone else in the thread, but I’m currently thinking about rerouting their Internet through my network via VPN and pinning my own HTTPS cert to their devices so I can alter Faux News “articles” on the fly with a ChatGPT integration maybe. Wouldn’t be able to alter videos, but might be able to slow them down to dialup speeds so they just get frustrated with it and just lean more on the written stuff

    I figure this would be more effective than straight blocking


  • It’s definitely annoying having to constantly correct “drift”, but at the same time it’s SO MUCH less mental load than the “traditional ways” of deprogramming. I’m hopeful that (eventually) with good precision filter keywords and blocked profiles they’ll start to engage with more sensible content more and the algo will track from there


  • Heh I may or may not have peeled off one “certain Trump vote” to a “Fuck it, not voting for anyone” so far
