At least we’re not doing duckface anymore.

I"m 100% with you. Faith of the Heart fans unite!

In what aisle in Coscto would I find one of those? Asking for a friend.

In all fairness, my HOA isn’t that bad. They’re more annoying than totalitarian. HOA President Commander Toreth is actually pretty nice. Weirdly, all the people close to my age (mid 40’s) like her, and all of her Boomer peers seem terrified of her. I kinda want to know the story there.

Honestly, if Commander Toreth was a little older and had white hair, she’d be a ringer for our current HOA president.

I’d previously just thought your alias was a deep cut

I guess it is now lol. At the time, though, I thought I was being creative.

Similar vibes lol:

Barclay has a cat named Neelix, so maybe that’s what Janeway named her replicator.

That also explains why the food from it is always awful:

Maybe just that model? I’ve got an X1 carbon. It expects 45W and will run from anything that spits out 20V. Even hooked it into a 20W power bank. It complained that the supply was below expectations and that the battery might not charge but it worked.

How does it make you feel when I say the word… “moist”? Moist. Moiiiiiisssttt

Dell Dimension 2400 or a descendant of that?

That was THE computer to have in college when I went.

Why would we? lol, we wouldn’t. But when management says “Help Delores with her app problem”, what are you gonna do?

The grammar pedant in me is annoyed they’re not called “The Beverlys Crusher” lol.

No/Low-Code: Letting people who don’t know what they’re doing half-ass things poorly without understanding the first thing about it and leaving them completely incapable of fixing it when something goes wrong and then pissing off actual developers when they have to go into the Playskool interface to fix it.

Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).

Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

By Grabthar’s Hammer, what a bargain.

That’s like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, though.

All the stuff I’ve ordered from Ali is still in use (or in my parts bin awaiting use). e.g. All my smart bulbs are from Ali and were pre-flashed with Tasmota. They’re almost 6 years old and going strong.

That might be it. I was guessing since it’s not one I subscribe to.

I almost gave up on the dairy free cheese because Daiya was supposed to be the top-tier one. Tasted like vaguely cheese-flavored plastic strips, and I was not a fan. Also refused to melt until it was just below the temperature of the surface of the sun, and when it did, it was like a pile of glue.

On a whim, I bought the Kroger store brand (Simple Truth I think?) and it’s pretty damn good. Tastes like cheese, doesn’t feel like a mouth full of plastic, melts at a reasonable temperature, the whole works.
