We just got ambushed in a courtyard by about 15 enemies standing on a walkway above us, with no immediately obvious way for us to get up there. We were sitting ducks.

Over Christmas my oldest who is six months pregnant brought with her a home heart monitor device that lets you hear the baby’s heart. I heard my granddaughters heart for the first time the other day and yeah, happy tears!
They could have fitted the whole ring / tape / mouse assembly into a small paper bag Aragorn could have kept it in his jacket and fed it little bits of lembas on the way how lovely x
i went to the mall to do stuff and wanted to try on some sweaters and asked the clerk where the fitting rooms were. and this dude instantly had this quite severe sort of - disappointed stern adult look about him as he pointed me there. like, he was very sort of clean and clean shaven and had a fitted sweater and everything. and...
Department store employees are weirdly conceited, especially if it’s a fancier shop like Nordstrom. I don’t know why, but it has been that way my whole life.
I actually ended up using the corkscrew on one of these at a mountain cabin! Everyone cheered. Seriously, everyone cheered when I pulled out the cork with my little Swiss Army Knife.
Oh, that’s a good way to get them to ring the bell. I tried making them ring the bell other ways, but they never do. Uber Eats has a feature where they need to get a code from you to prove they handed you the food. I had several drivers leave the food at the door and then text me, asking me for the code. Fuck off
I know a guy who has always taken 10x more substances than anyone else, and seems to still crave more. I watched him eat an entire handful of Percocet once, and then work all day like it was nothing. Half of one of the pills he took knocked me on my ass. I puked, then passed out, and slept for six hours. He was eating like 8 of them at a time, several times per day. He does the same thing with alcohol, and any other drugs he can get his hands on.
I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...
This movie had way more influence on me than it should have. I was pretty young when I watched it, and it left me yearning for the apocalypse. I really only remember a few scenes by now. The scene that I remember most clearly I think is near the end of the movie, where a guy pulls up in a supercar, I think a Lambo. He had just taken it, since it was the end of the world and all. That left me thinking the end of the world would be a paradise, where I could have anything I wanted. Sure, you’d have to fight mutants, blasting them with uzis, but to a little kid, that’s all fun and games. I should watch it again, and see if it’s actually any good or not.
That doesn’t account for the frustration and confusion, the time wasted troubleshooting, the loss of property and time spent replacing it, the consumer trust violations, and the destruction of private property. They should face criminal charges for destruction of private property. By “they” I mean the executives who created and mandated this idea. Then they should be required to pay pain and suffering to each affected user at a rate of $100 per hour, with 5-10 hours assumed, and then have to replace the controllers they broke. Not give money to replace them, they should be required to immediately ship a new controller of the same type that they broke. Anything else is just lip-service, and a nice check for some random law firm.
Blade barrier is fucking amazing!
