My soul? Shit, I already gave that up to our corporate overlords. Best I can afford is the $12.71 they gave my wife when I died.

standardebooks.org is a great site for reading classics.

They make very nicely formated ebooks for our enjoyment. Defiantly better than the wall of text you’ll get from the .txt version or a lazily converted ebub.

LPT: label the unique power bricks/cords when you get them.

Use a piece of white tape, a silver marker or get a cheap $20 label printer at Walmart.

Last time I was gifted socks…they were the wrong one (somehow, I get my socks from Walmart, so I’m not too picky, or so I thought). I’m pretty sure it was an amazon special - anyways now I tell everyone I’m super picky about socks or that I have 20 pairs already.

the 3rd road; Be awkward by making random noises.

I found a solid metal strainer, not mesh for my sink. Holds up forever and much easier to clean. Even if you have a disposal, its not great to just dump everything down the drain [citation needed]. You especially want to catch things like small bones and forks.

The disposals seem common enough, a lot older/outdated homes don’t have them. I have no idea what they’re putting into new houses and renovations.

Never had an under the sink mess like you describe, maybe yours just had a small leak?

I always liked Qui-Gon.

A Jedi who was always true to his faith in the force and never fell into to the politics of the order.

talent shows for sure real.

Take your kid to work seems to have decreased as people realized it really only (safely) works out for office jobs, and trying to entertain a child and get work done is no small feat.

I’ve never seen a career day where you bring your parent to school to talk about their jobs.

Linux … you guys make money spying?

I suppose, but if you’re going for the American diner experience, you might as well go with a good one. Or just try all of them.

Are IHOP and Denny’s still good in Texas? Where I’m at, you’re better off with a box of your own pancake mix. I tend to find local dinners offer much better food.

I agree, the unified experience is really good.

Its just their prices are highway robbery.

Its seems less on the software side, but more of a hardware reparability and cost issue.

For the iphone 16, going from 128GB to 512GB is $200.

The new Mac mini is asking for $200 for 8GB extra of ram, and $800 for 2TB of (non-removable, encrypted) storage (the base model is only $600). For an extra $1200 you can upgrade the Mac mini to have 32GB RAM, 2TB of Storage and 10GB ethernet.

For reference a good Samsung top of line 2tb nvme drive is about $200. And most 32gb ddr5 kits are about $100. So instead of $300, you pay $1100.

On the software front, they are more stable. If you jumped from a 2014 iPhone to a 2024 iPhone (and iOS), it’d be similar enough you wouldn’t feel you’re on a brand new OS.

Good luck trying that with android (or even windows to some extent).

And even then, some don’t care about the quarter.

Seems so, they guy who posted the uncensored version thanked OP for updating the post.

Wikipedia has a page talking about making your own page. Its definitely biased, focusing on why its a poor idea, but it was still a mildly interesting read.
