My computer has been torn down for a while due to a move and renovations, but as soon as I set it up again, the first order of business is to migrate it to mint.

Sounds like you should be sober from weed too.

If your default state is high, you're never sober. You're just experiencing the hangover state between highs. Think of it as the weed version of delerium to an alchoholic. It's not a physical hangover, so it's not as obvious.

Stay sober for a few weeks. It'll drag at first, but it'll go away after a bit. You'll even out your neurotransmitters and feel like yourself again. Then getting high on occasion will be an event, not a medication.

Anecdotally, people I've known who smoke everyday tend to be okay with things they shouldn't be. The chemical joy seems to make them content with having a kind of shitty life and never actually doing anything. High activities just became their only activities when weed changed from weekends to everyday. I'm not saying this is true of everyone, but I've seen it happen more often than not to daily smokers.

Drugs and alcohol should be occasional modifiers to your life, not the default state. Give your chemistry a rest.

Dionysus in hades. Dude amps me up so well I pick him over boons I like better.

Anyone in Texas know how to etch brass?

A gas powered fire machine shouldn't be able to lock up because an update was hanging.

My washer is also a fucking liar. I consider that a sepparate issue though, which is every appliance sucks shit whether it's smart or not.

I don't have a solution for that one yet.

I have no judgement for accessibility needs, but for the vast majority of consumers who need a shortcut for everything. There can be a good reason for someone to have a specific feature, but there is no reason for everyone to have every feature. Wheelchairs serve a purpose, but if everyone quit walking because wheelchairs were cheap, it would be a silly place.

on top of privacy, technical, and advertisement issues, I would bet that a house full of smart devices idly uses more power than leaving an led light on all night every once in a while.

"Alongside the jokes, the discovery prompted conversation around the trade-offs between privacy and convenience as our lives become increasingly connected with data and data collection."

What fucking convenience can come from a smart washer. Three settings and a bell. That's it. There is nothing an app can do that offsets the complication of having an app and more settings for a washing machine.

Here we go:

Speed

Temperature

Time

Ding

Nothing else. No other setting is necessary or convienient.

How the fuck are people falling for all this dumb shit.

"Oh the fridge texts me when I need milk". You're right opening the door was too difficult. Almost as difficult as remembering you finished the fucking milk. Better get a smart fridge.

"I can program and adjust the thermostat from my phone" thermostats have been programable for 30 years and didn't need the internet and an app to do it. Who adjusts the device so often they have to be able to do it on the fly from anywhere? The entire purpose of a thermostat is to adjust the tempurature AUTOMATICALLY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

"I can turn on the oven before I'm home and read the tempurature from anywhere" was preheating time a major problem before? At least you have another reason to look at your phone while driving home. And by the way, my oven tells me the tempurature too. By beeping when it's at the tempurature I fucking set it to. I don't need to have a live feed, because if it's not exactly where I set it, it's fucking broken.

"I can control every light in the house from my phone." You don't need to control lights in rooms you aren't in. Just say you're too fucking lazy and the seven steps to the switch will wind you.

Smart appliances are the dumbest shit and you're dumb for buying them.

We used to be a proper country

Does pussy riot have time to play shows between arrests?

It says 2019 to trick the viewer into commenting "no 2012" or 2016, since no real human thinks everything was great until 2019. It's bait for interactions.
