Barbecue Cowboy

I’ve used it a few times to order lumber because I thought it would be a pain to get everything into my car. Consistently ends up with a guy with the tiniest possible car showing up and me being surprised that a car that small can hold that much wood.

I do usually pad it out with a few other things whenever I make a big order of lumber though, have definitely ordered caulk.

He does feel super canadian.

There are areas with apparent damage that don’t appear to be in the second part of the video. Feels likely.

We can see it from here, but we haven’t hit rock bottom quite yet.

We’re kinda famous for not exactly being welcoming, and it’s not undeserved.

I’m with you, I know we’ve had a lot of recent Linux converts, but I don’t get why so many who’ve used Linux for years still buy Nvidia.

Like yeah, there’s going to be some cool stuff, but it’s going to be clunky and temporary.

I know the Arch community is kind of rough, but any reason we know of that they’re being targeted? Feels like a weird target for any major actors to prioritize for destabilization.

We’re going anecdotal here, but here’s mine. Not going to out myself, but this used to be a pretty heavy part of my job, we were looking at significantly more than a thousand and our workforce was very mobile so we might have been plugging/unplugging/etc more than y’all.

The increase in replacements on docking stations went up dramatically for us when our main vendor first switched to USB-C docks from the old proprietary connectors they used to have. That had already been rough switching from the rock solid docking stations you would actually sit your laptop on top of. I’m not working in that area anymore, but I have friends that are still there and they say it has improved with the docking stations themselves mostly being reliable, but the USB-C cables are the major point of failure and there is difficulty in sourcing the right USB-C cables without the docking station. Main problem being that even the ones the vendor recommends as potential replacements frequently don’t work at all and if they do don’t tend to hold up. Supposedly, price of cables that they’ve tested to definitely 100% work is close enough to the price of a docking station that they just kind of gave up on fixing it and just treat the entire docking station package as disposable. USB-C standards get crazy y’all.

Vendor also had a few years of seriously flaky USB-C ports on their main enterprise line that did not help. Frequently left us in a situation with piles of computers that were just a brick because there was no way to charge it. Still under warranty, but man, user experience was not great, it made it to the point where people outside of IT were talking about it and that’s always a real bad sign.

Frustrating that you can’t even get to the pornhub press pages and look at the year in review without hopping on VPN if you’re in a restricted area. I feel like Cherie Deville with her PSA on the block page might technically be the most viewed model on there now.

Similar boat, it’s kinda frustrating that it takes 6 months to approve 30 minutes of work, but at least the job is boring.

I do hate having to switch regions in the console.

I have the same when moving files sporadically on an AMD card, maybe don’t have Nvidia to blame on this one.

Don’t forget, it’s kind of multiple WiFi connections.

I’m cautiously optimistic, from a sheer speed standpoint, it could be faster than most wired connections available over short ranges. It’s not going to actually reach optimal speeds likely ever, but the few who have seen it in action seem optimistic about it too.

You’re not allowed to say on social media platforms due to advertiser pusback.

Still probably the best surprise a game has ever given me.

Oh, you finished the game? Nope! entirely refreshed revisit to the previous game!

I think it was overall a step down from win2k but that was the best software Microsoft has ever shipped.

I started at the bottom with ewaste, it is truly amazing what companies will just throw away because they don’t want to deal with it.

I am really looking forward to picking up some cheap used mini PCs here in a few months after the market gets flooded from corporates disposing of their old hardware because of the Windows 10 end of life. Consumers have already started ditching them now, but it takes a minute for enterprise to get it to a disposal company who then gets to pawn it off on the used market and that’s the good stuff.

I’ve done that before, most reliable wifi connection I’ve ever had.

That idea feels very useful but I also distrust it and it makes me angry for reasons I can’t articulate.

I’m going to stick with my current process of accidentally opening vim, typing semi-random things that feel like they should work for a minute and then eventually looking up how to quit on my phone.
