Sucks but it's true. I've been trying to de-microsoft my household for over a year now. My partner won't switch away from Windows, despite how fucking bad 11 is, and we're still paying for office 365, even though I haven't used MS office on a non-company computer for about 15 years at this point.

I haven't had anything sony in decades. Everything I got from them was overpriced trash that broke under very meager circumstances.

Next on my chopping block is Google. Once the my phone is paid off, I'm switching to Graphene. Currently trying out open street maps, and trying to spin up my own email server so I can ditch my Gmail account.

True but also, people are stupid/ easily confused and have a lot of trouble figuring out what you mean unless you use the "As In" description.

Source : I both take and make a lot of support calls. I'd say about 1 in 5 or so people can handle the NATO alphabet at a normal speaking speed.

No, digital storage in your phone is like ghosts playing a interdimenional clarinet when you look at the quantum tunneling aspects of an infinite universal wrap-up around rejected improbabilities of unstable bilateral states.

The airbags go in the pillars because the pillars were mandated to be thicker, not the other way around.

Fun fact, this is why we have touchscreens in cars. Basically everything shitty about cars today can be traced back to the chicken tax.

I'd have a raffle to allow someone to hit the button to cube the vehicle, and use the money from the raffle to pay for more/stronger bike infrastructure.

I was thinking they should be connected with a steel cable at the bottom, and a hook inside the plastic shell, so if a car hits them, they grab on and start slowing the car down.

If you were paying 2k a month on a luxury truck loan to pay 6 bucks for a gallon of gas to go 11 miles at traffic speeds slower than a bike on the shoulder, you too would be incredibly stupid and irate.

Also, that truck driver needs to have their license pulled indefinitely and the truck impounded. That's multiple murder attempts happening in a few minutes. I don't give a fuck if public transport sucks, or if you are crippled and can't walk anywhere. Should have thought of that before you tried to kill someone multiple times with your truck.

Millennials' midlife crisis is realizing that they owe more on their student loans than they intitally took out despite paying on them and scraping by for the last 20 years.

I guess it's a silver lining of living in a country that is completely captured by oil companies. I catch a lot of flak for having an EV, but the truth is in the odometer readings. We had a 2 car household, and we put 24,000 miles on the EV in a year and a half, and went from 14,000 miles a year on our gas car down to less than 2000. We just sold the ICE because we stopped driving it, and couldn't justify the 400 dollars or so a month to keep it.

Definitely buy used. These things drop like rocks during the first year of ownership. I got 50% off MSRP for letting someone else own the car for the first 9000 miles.

YSK that your toilet lid isn't a gasketed seal.

Putting the lid down does reduce the amount of shit mist, but it does not even get close to eliminating it.

So why the fuck did two thirds of the country let him take power.

Two answers. Either racism, or because there was a genocide being done somewhere else by someone else, and it was easier to let him be elected than it was to vote for a candidate who didn't expressly say she would do enough about it, also, he said he would make the genocide much worse and would get us more involved in it.
