I worked at Target 15 years ago. I still have half a dozen around the house including one in my pocket. I love being able to use it as a pry bar or cut something against concrete and just change out the $0.10 blade.

I knocked up the worst person I’ve ever met.  It was a stressful year until the DNA test results came back.  Here we are 10-15 years later and nothing is that bad.  Have to move across the country?  No big deal.  Not getting paid for 6 months?  Sure, no problem.  That leg doesn’t work anymore?  At least  I didn’t…

Can we all agree now to send in pictures of Ajit Pai for proper shit identification. Sorry for the NSFW image.

To be fair, a knife made of poop is still poop and AI should still be able to identify it. Add it in.

Dark Crystal. Gelflings are horrifying. It’s kind of an uncanny valley thing I think.

I knew I recognized her in Orphan Black, I didn’t realize Ginger Snaps 2 is where I saw her before.  Thanks!

This is the cable I carry around.  It does USB 3 speeds and 3A.  To do that current and those speeds, there is a lot of wire in there.  It has about a 3" bend radius.

With just the hot water running something like the dishwasher or clothes washer or toilet flushing will cause pressure to change, but you won’t have hot/cold pressures changing independently.  That means the temperature remains constant.  It’s also convenient for doing dishes, only having to change one knob to vary…

I don’t just look at the star ratings, I also read the reviews. If other people can get 3A through a cable and USB 3 speeds then it’s probably good. Fake reviews tend to not have those details, just ‘very nice cable’ or ‘cleans dishes well’ for the cable review.  Off-brand is usually my go-to for adapters and oddities…

I heard somewhere that sexual selection tends to cause exaggerated traits, usually oversized body parts. This appears to have the same mechanism.

Because Lifehacker hasn’t told you how to delete it yet and you, like me, are helpless without their instruction?

Waking is such a problem on my HTPC that I created a batch file to do this. It just has powercfg -lastwake and powercfg -requests, followed by a pause command so the window doesn’t close without me seeing the results. It’s usually NextPVR’s recording service needing to be stop/started that wakes it 2 minutes after…

On my HTPC NextPVR constantly wakes it after a couple minutes even though there’s nothing to record. Every couple days I have to stop/start the recording service to get it to quit it.

Once again, lifehacker almost to the rescue.  My cat hairballed my new sofa a couple hours before you posted this.  Will look for a label for next time.  Thanks!

There are a lot of ways a company can handle this kind of problem. Officially firing her, but having her work secretly as a consultant or something, would have stopped the phone calls. Blacklisting her is just some vindictive shit, justifying a nice high-profile lawsuit.

I do agree that legal action is going a little far for this tweet. As CEO he should definitely be more clear about what he means, possibly having a lawyer examine tweets before sending them out. Of course that was the agreement about an August 2018 tweet, so why are they still settling a May 2018 tweet?

Don’t just throw those on the ground, McDonald’s fries can take up to 10,000 years to break down.  Or a decade.  I don’t know.

This seems relevant:  I came across canned water that’s supposed to last 50 years in storage.  It’s filtered and sterilized and whatnot.  It is also ridiculous expensive; >$2 per can.
