It’s not obvious at all bro. I see unironic shit like that posted on here all the time. I live and breathe IT so I am all too aware some IT folks are fucking assholes about this.

That said I really do think the bar needs to be raised a bit. People struggling to setup meetings in Outlook in 2024 is not ok.

Do you pay people to change your car’s oil? Do you call in an HVAC tech when your air conditioner’s capacitor dies? Do you bring your computer into a shop to have the storage upgraded?

These are all fairly easy things to do. I make good money replacing and upgrading storage in laptops, desktops, and other devices like Steam Decks, a few hundred a month from that alone. It’s nearly trivial in difficulty, like replacing the fill valve or the chain that connects it to the handle, but people pay and I’m not about to tell them not to.

If bathrooms were properly designed instead of having half walls that don’t even meet, I doubt people would care nearly as much.

I’ve seen it a lot (I do PC builds/repairs as a side gig). I just assume it will cause me grief from the start and keep both USB2 and USB3 sticks handy.

To be fair I’ve had the issue with Unraid too, but only on one brand’s B450 motherboards in my testing. I didn’t have a whole bunch to try of course but MSI and Asus was fine, Gigabyte not. X570 didn’t have this problem in my experience.

Given the nature of their matchmaking approach, this is probably the best option.

Would be easier if we could choose our lobbies out of a list…

Not sure if you played the original version but the remaster adds new attacks to some enemies and changes some of their behaviours. It also seems to have changed some enemy spawns, I think. It made the game feel fresh in a way I wasn’t expecting for something I probably played through a few dozen times lol.

Mankind Divided has some too close to home moments but the first game? That shit was almost like a playbook of the next two decades, it’s actually nuts.

You probably would have liked Guild Wars 1 as well. You get to max level (level 20) well before you finish the content, and the rest of your advancement is farming mats for high level equipment and stealing elite attacks from enemies to unlock them for yourself.

ADL report

Opinion discarded. Those ADL fucks lie about damn near everything.

Doing God’s work right here.

Forklift certs ain’t nothing compared to amateur radio. When you get that personalized license plate too… They’re going to be climbing over their boyfriends just to hear you ask for an RST from the guy you bounced to with 10m.

Bake some bread brother. I never got so much attention as when I worked in a bakery (though I imagine the sheer size of my forearms probably contributed)

When you propose it comes with an SLA

Imagine when they find out you run your own media server. Bad boys out there downloading videos without licenses about to pop off on dating sites because no one can afford the “Netflix” part of netflix and chill

I make mods for video games. It actually pays out too, I make a few hundred a year. It’s basically computer parts money lol.

Does that count as a hobby? I’m afraid to ask, women are pretty judgy about this stuff.

Taking pictures specifically for a dating profile would show that they actually care about finding a person they would do other things specifically for.

This is a dead giveaway that you’ve never asked men why they don’t take and share pictures of themselves. Most men in the anglosphere consider it vain and self-destructive to obsess over their looks. You can also see it in the way they buy clothes (“I’ll take 5 pairs of the same pants, thanks”), the way they cut their hair (“just take an inch off and even it out”), and the way they present themselves, often with as few accessories and adornments as possible. Those they do have are utilitarian or deeply personal.

Right? Just the other day I was thinking about how many hobbies I dropped once I started seriously dating, and then later how many more when I had kids.

My guitar hasn’t been touched in years. My books have gone unread. My 3D printer is getting a workout making organizational tools and little toys for the kids though lol

Oh that is uncanny, I was just thinking about this game today. Really a surprisingly unique car combat game, I still haven’t played anything like it.

Voters are saying “I am going to be homeless and can’t even afford bread”. The Democrat response to this is “stop being racist, the economy is fine”.

I’m really not sure what anyone expected besides failure from this.

It sucks because some of the agencies were doing good work, especially the mounting attacks on landlords and monopolists/oligopolists, which are necessary but will almost certainly end now. Honestly it felt like they wanted to lose, having learned nothing from 2016.

Lost to Trump again, opinion discarded
