The right to drink a beer while operating a riding lawn mower in full view of the public without wearing a shirt.

We're probably going to find out eventually. For instance, I have never once in my life had any manner of account for any traditional social media. Just reddit (not anymore) and here. That's it.

So good luck with that, fuckers.

Chip bags are full of air to protect the chips from being crushed in transit.

Your corn is full of... uh, whatever it is that's in there with creamed corn in order to protect your corn. Obviously.

There is no surer way to ruin a work of literature for someone than to force them to write a book report on it.

Or switch Firefox to reader mode (F9), which usually reveals the content of the article with any extraneous CSS trickery removed.

Authoritarian fuckwits making sweeping ultimatums to change typefaces for spurious, racist, and political reasons?

Believe it or not, this has happened before. Perhaps most famously... yes, guess who!

 

We just got gifted this quilt. Meow-meow has decided she's all about it.

The Quest was never not Facebook. Meta/Facebook bought Oculus in 2014 and even the OG Rift wasn't released until 2016. Arguably only the DK1 devkit units were produced not under the Facebook umbrella.

The major difference was that they weren't playing it up at the time and they didn't yet require you to have a Facebook account just to use the damn things. That came later.

Right above Dat Boi is the Distracted Boyfriend meme.

Given the look on its face, the owl may be an O Rly?

I'm drawing a blank on the egg and its army, and the guy in the group of four with the nice hat.

Aside from the terrorism aspect, the remaining non-blown reactors were still providing power up until I think 2000 before it was finally fully shut down. Russia has obviously had a fixation on trying to destroy Ukraine's infrastructure and outside of any other potential fuckery is probably concerned that Ukraine will be able to power it back up again if they need to, especially if more of their infrastructure elsewhere is blown up.

Plus, even if the Russians lose Ukraine will still be left holding the bag for cleaning up and repairing whatever additional damage was done to the containment structures.

You, uh, didn't turn multiplayer off in your options, did you? That setting doesn't follow your account around, it's per machine.

I leave it off on my laptop because it causes the Space Anomaly to devolve into single-digit frame rates when other players are present and rendered, especially when docking.

Note that this doesn't prevent you from seeing other players' bases, nor impact the ability to see people on your friends list or their status. Your game will still connect to the servers if it can. It only prevents other players' keisters and ships from being placed in your universe.

It's also an incredibly stupid bureaucratic clusterfuck of the magnitude that only customs and border people can achieve. Surely there should be some mechanism wherein you can send a letter or something to the Russian authorities to inform them, "Hey, we're trying this stupid stunt and here is our plan, let us make our declarations now and we'll pick up all the paperwork on the way once we get there." But there probably isn't, and then you wind up with crap like this.

The tinniest of tin-pot jumped up little dictators are never to actually be found in your nation's capital. Instead they're all lined up along its borders acting like these various lines in the sand were laser-etched there by god and aren't ultimately just arbitrary and, indeed, historically much more fluid than they'd like to pretend.

Task Manager is launched by the listener in winlogon if you use the Ctrl + Shift + Esc method though, right? I'm pretty sure you can still launch Task Manager, and from there attempt to relauch Explorer, even if Explorer is borked or not running. You'd just have to know how to do that and that you can.

That's what I always do when Explorer's ears inexplicably catch fire and I'm either too lazy or too naively hopeful to reboot.

For anyone following along at home, Windows Explorer is also responsible for displaying the start menu/taskbar. In the example in the article there's something else funky going on inside Explorer, though, because the taskbar and even the desktop icons are all there, it's just not rendering correctly. (Explorer is also responsible for showing all of your desktop icons.)

 

Y u no put the paper towels in the fucking dispenser rather than leaving the half torn open pack on the countertop?

Getting the new brick of towels out of the supply room and dragging it all the way to the bathroom is like 99% of the effort already. Just stuff them in the damn box.

(This is right up there with the old classic, getting out a new bog roll and leaving it delicately balanced on top of the old empty cardboard tube rather than just installing it on the damn spindle.)

You'd think I work in a building full of toddlers.
