Nobody is both that bored and that motivated. Unless paid.

Inflation.

What a great use of my tax dollars.

I would bet cash money these are symptoms of systemic problems at the airline.

The hero we need! Ty!

I’m not entirely sure why but Calibri has always mildly annoyed me. Maybe because it was the new default at one point and I preferred something else. Or maybe because I felt that the default font size should be 10 or 12 points not…11 (pffft huff) Maybe it was just misplaced resentment for having to use Office products (at work). The new one has kind of a fun look, though. Maybe I will enjoy it.

Also watch out for AMD’s army of Neanderthal social media accounts on reddit, forums and youtube, they will be singing their own praises as usual.

Wat

Fellow AMD Neanderthal Army soldiers: any idea when I get my cool uniform and …paycheck?

Zen 4 needs to bring substantial IPC improvements for all workloads, rather than overpriced “3D” marketing gimmicks.

…

… the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D performs reasonably consistently under varying real world conditions.

Uhh… Aren’t… Aren’t these two statements kinda contradictory?

I kind of think if they got punched in the fucking face on a regular basis maybe we would see a lot less of them and their evil bullshit.

As far as I know local bottlers have been a thing for a long time yes. I remember TV ads for soda with a tack on slogan at the end from the bottling company. “Bottled by the good guys at Kalil”

Good summary. Apparently even the Democratic judges are skeptical of upholding the Colorado Supreme Court decision.

For me it isn’t “some” word it is “many, many” words.

charcuterie (shar-KOO-terr-ee) (TIL)

potable (POH-tah-bull)

prerogative (preh-ROG-ah-tiv) – wait, wat? Damn. I say it (pur-OHG-ah-tiv)

preternatural (pree-ter-NAT-chur-al)

remuneration (reh-myoo-ner-AY-shun) – I’m not admitting how I say it lol

surprise - let’s just say I spelled it suprise for ages. sigh

victual (vittle) - wait, that’s how you spell it??

Indefatigable (IN-dih-FA-tih-gə-bl) not in-dee-fa-TEEG-able

Primer: \PRIMM-er\ – small book / short informative piece of writing. (Brits can use long-i for both the paint undercoat and the book).

Mischievous: \MISS-chuh-vuss\ though mis-CHEE-vee-us is a non standard alternate pronunciation.

Interlocutor: \in tuhr LOCK you tore. I had no idea how to pronounce this so I never said it.

I think some “mispronunciations” are down to regional pronunciation. Like, I say miniature as MIN-ih-chure by habit though I’m well aware of how it’s spelled and “should” be pronounced. I swear that’s how I heard it growing up.

Maybe it isn’t regional and it is just me. That would explain some things lol.

And uh, yeah I have a bunch more, some I know but am forgetting at the moment. Undoubtedly I mispronounce many more while having no idea. What must people think of me? Lol

Ha I don’t even know what that is so I will never say it.

I was alive and eligible to vote in 88 but I was a dumb kid that voted but didn’t pay attention to the primaries so I don’t remember him at all.

And he wasn’t a “great public speaker” in that he was known for saying dumb shit as you say. (If anything gaffe was a term that applied earlier to Dan Quayle, former VP).

I don’t recall for sure if the stutter was present then or to what degree.

I also don’t see a lot of evidence that he is mentally unfit (for his age) as far as I am aware.

That treatment sucks too especially for kids. What was the purpose? Retribution?

We don’t need a Fox “news” equivalent for Democrats that pumps out propaganda (your term used above) and traps Democrats into an echo chamber.

I mean we already have some fairly biased left leaning news outlets. Nothing like Fox or OANN or Breitbart.

Still, I would like to get rid of heavily biased propaganda outlets because – yes – they basically brainwash their listers with various techniques.

I’m not sure brainwashing is the right way to go here idk 🤔

I can probably manage PQ (potato quality)

I don’t think anyone else has said this, so I shall.

What in the actual fuck.

It could work! Although, if you’re already getting a $50,000++ SUV it’s going to take a pretty big number to make you rethink your purchase.

Some other regulation to dissuade companies from selling bigger vehicles would help.

Maybe do something to raise the price of gas so filling up a 20-40 gallon SUV looks a lot less affordable than an economy car. (Of course that would also fuck the economy silly but so will climate change).

I kind of miss the small 2000-2400 lb cars of the 90s. My little 2 door Sentra SE-R got 25 mpg city and 35 mpg hwy and always fast passed the emissions dyno test.

I was comparing the Corolla, 2000 and 2023 model years. While the new one gets slightly better mileage, it is 600 lb heavier. I’m assuming the weight is in part due to the reinforced cabin and doors and a bazillion miles of wiring for all the additional computers and electronics. I wonder what kind of mileage a 2500 lb car would get with a modern drivetrain.

True… I think even if they don’t, it’s still potentially anti-competitive.

(Gawd, Imagine how life would be with gas station incompatibility with your car. Holy shit that would suck).

Yes except everyone knows YouTube has a massive, massive market advantage in that space. And the channel you want to watch isn’t on the others. And you know this too.
