So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence.
  • No table saw needed. You could use a 10 dollar hand saw from horrible freight, measure the length and pull from the finish end and cut it like a normal person.

    I guess it's good he didn't cut them to match so it stands out for the guy who pulls weeds in between the property lines. They'd be less likely to get stabbed by a 16 penny nail. Even getting scraped by a nail hurts like fuck. Anyone dismissing the nail portion of this job as "ok" or "have a friendly conversation" is missing as many brain cells as the person who fixed this fence.

  • Big, beige ’80s PC case started out as a joke, but it’s becoming real in Japan
  • I just recently adopted an old gateway PC with this intent in mind. I'm excited about it.

  • AI Expert Warns Crash Is Imminent As AI Improvements Hit Brick Wall
  • A well researched pre-owned is the way to go. I bought a 6900xt a couple years ago for a deal.

  • The king Bernie Sanders based take.
  • A democrat's favorite pass time is ignoring a fuming Bernie Sanders.

  • Brooklyn woman sues Subway, claims Steak & Cheese sandwich in ad has '200% more meat'
  • One could say this case has more substance than a subway sandwich.

  • Stuck in the middle with you
  • basic cables

    Bless his heart but we had a new guy setting his dock station up a couple years ago now, he tried daisy chaining his monitors display input together to make a dual display set up. We were small talking about our PC setup a little bit before this interaction. This was my moment of "what happened?"

  • Cerberus was next in line to the house of Hades, but Charon was not his master. Hades was.

  • I enjoy the mythos around Charon. If you lived your life to the point where you didn't have a single person to care for you enough to make a small payment in your name (think 2 pennies), you suffer the fate of merely waiting. He's like a minimalist renown filter of sorts. It's like a judge of character, so to speak, based on what others would do for you when you can't act.

  • Blessica Blimpson
  • You swear correctly. He is the boatman of the river Styx. He ferries souls to Hades in the afterlife if the individual was buried with the ferry toll. If they didn't have the ferry toll they'd be fated to wandering the banks of the river Styx for 100 years before they could cross.

    I think it's a cool name. Apologies if this was intended sarcasm and it went over my head.

  • Redding landlord fired after allegedly committing voter, mail fraud in Reddit posts
  • He missed the part where you need a lot more money to be able to broadcast your crimes and get away with it.

  • The habits of successful people
  • I was just at a depressing job fair trying to recruit for maintenance. It was held at a plant set to close in 3 days. Most of the people I talked to were there for 30 years. It was partially employee owned. Somehow a person in power (I don't know the piece of shit's title) convinced the employees to sell their share at the promise of expansion and investment.

    The person in power closed the shop, cashed out, and retired. Will not have to worry about a thing. 200 some people and families now have their lives upended at the benefit to few.

    This kind of aligns more with the person you responded to but still relevant.

  • This child wanted to be a Transformer for Halloween
  • She looks more on the split side if you ask me.

  • The 1900s
  • I put this on an unlabeled squirt bottle once at work. It was wrong to do because technically it's an OSHA violation for being improperly labeled because it was just in sharpie and not a standard label. But it was night shift I was bored and the bottle was already unlabeled so it was already out of compliance. Why not write on it?

    A week or so later I heard people talking about this squirt bottle that said dihydrogen monoxide. Two safety guys were there so I didn't take credit for my shenanigans based on the reception not being great.

    I said I think it's just water, but the chemical name. Ya know? Nope, they didn't get it. The kind of doubled down and started talking about things in that link because they "researched the name" and it was actually harmful.

    It was a strange experience.

  • This is a real tweet by Walz
  • Someone had one posted in a discord chat I was in to calculate the resistance on a resistor by image. It didn't even give you the color band chart to calculate anything. Just "What resistor is 200Ω?"

  • The real oppressors
  • The only good thing about third shift was being drunk at 8am convincing yourself it's normal because 8am is your night time.

  • How medical insurance works
  • Question: how the fuck did any of this ever become legal?

    I would guess lobbying.

  • Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
  • Buy a commercial TV. It's a plain jane TV. I put one in as a SCADA, but it's just a tv with no frills. When I saw what it was, I knew when I'd need to purchase a tv this would be the type I wanted.

  • Lingering damage
  • If you don't know someone that burns old oil put it in an old container and throw it away in the trash.

  • "Valve is being sued in the UK for $843 million for 'overcharging 14 million PC gamers and abusing its dominant position' with Steam"

    Being the most favorable game market does not mean "there is no competition". It's just the competition is doing it wrong so everyone flocks to what they like or have stuck with.

    We heard you like toggles so we put a toggle in your toggle.

    This toggle is annoying because what was once 1 press to turn on BT is now 2. It gets me every day.

    The Google messaging update looks bad. It reminded me I purchased textra a while ago.

    They really didn't have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don't need another pop up in my life.

    I couldn't click "set" while trying to set the safety network number on a 442g-mab

    After using bootp to turn off DHCP and set a static IP, 2 hours later I didn't realize that I also had to turn off DHCP in RSLinx.

    Thank you fork truck driver for smashing the working one.

    Kind of crazy they can cram the same technology into point I/O modules. Had to take this guy apart today to move jumpers to change it from -10vdc to 10 vdc range to 0vdc to 10vdc for a system upgrade.

    Really made me think how convenient new stuff is. Those jumpers are a mouse click in studio 5000. Was a fun experience today working with some old reliable tech mixing with new stuff. This module might be as old as me.
