  • TIL the US Military operates a massive non-profit "socialist" grocery chain called the Commissary. It is taxpayer-subsidized and sells goods at cost

    Jump

  • But, if you die your family gets commissary access for life...

    As long as you stay near a base. Cheaper to pay more at whole foods than drive to the closest Commissary.

    What really matters is the exchange and tax free on big appliances.

  • I would like to go to there

    Jump

  • People also made more, dollar to dollar, so they could afford a more expensive appliance...

    And if they didn't? Well, we don't think about them when we think of the idealized appliances of the past.

  • Trump’s acting cyber chief uploaded sensitive files into a public version of ChatGPT

    Jump

  • I can't tell you how many times I emailed someone last week asking that they don't send me any sensitive information over insecure channels.

  • Paper is the new privacy measure.

  • Use a pen board behind your pages and every third or so page so a scribble page just to be sure.

  • Trump administration goes after Second Amendment rights in justifying Minneapolis shooting

    Jump

  • Except for when that open carrying leftist Vet got shot by the Uber driving other Vet when he decided that a low carry was a threatening posture and got off.

  • the more things change

  • 8 year Border Patrol veteran. They've always been trash.

  • Why doesn't it feel as classy?

    Jump

  • Although Melee was the first big 'hardcore' Smash community I was aware of, there are quite a few of its contemporaries in the Counter Strike community that also stuck with CRTs...

  • Hundreds of active-duty soldiers on standby, 2 defense officials say

    Jump

  • From experience, artic warfare is more about wearing snow shoes than walking on ice. The rubber boots and thick socks don't do much for ice but they make walking back to Wheeler Sacks more comfortable after a week of sleeping in a snow drift.

  • You need to stop using Brave

    Jump

  • Firefox... I mean, regular old from the app store Firefox... Not even Waterfox or anything, just Firefox.

    How did you end up at Brave without knowing Firefox could do all that?

  • Dell seems to be the first to realise we don't actually care about AI PCs

    Jump

  • I have three U2312Ms in my house. They've been my monitors for over a decade and they've held multiple roles. They used to be all on my desk but they're now on three different setups and I've literally never had an issue with any of them.

    They're from 2011.

  • Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models

    Jump

  • The Latitudes are balls in the worst way. Including the new "Pro" models. I've had i7 and i9 Latitudes that are slower than my i5 XPS 13, and yeah that thing sucks too but at least it sucks predictably.

  • Insider trading, but make it worse

    Jump

  • I bet you a dollar that the ratio of votes on your post will be some number by January 11th.

    I bet you a dollar that President Trump will not live to see 2037.

    We're just two people making bets here. Anyone want to sidebar on this action?

  • The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices

    Jump

  • Just keep old computers is all. Eventually your spec will be considered 'retro computing' and you can still enjoy the thousands of games that are playable on real hardware.

  • You posting on the Internet is also useless digital garbage, so put your money where your mouth is and go do something productive.

  • US military to stop shooting live animals to train medics for the battlefield

    Jump

  • I mean, you don't need an agreement if partner nations bring the goat and if the SDF wants the training, who am I to judge them? Just means we're eating goat tonight instead of MREs.

  • Something's not math-ing

    Jump

  • Not as fresh? Maybe grown out of season in a different climate and also (in the case of cauliflower) usually growing black spots before it comes out of the bag.

    My local grocery has been real bad about green beans as of late.

  • It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects

    Jump

  • They even have a part with translated subtitles... You could've at least chosen Snatch for your reference for Brad Pitt's Pikey impersonation.

  • If you automated 95% of your job, but still had to report to an office/cubicle, what would you do with your (40hrs)time?

    Jump

  • Work on the backlog! Of what? Anything! My back log of books, video games, hobby projects sitting half finished in my workshop! My boss would stop by and I'd have my soldering iron and extractor fans set up and I'd be like "Yeah, I'm waiting on the phones right now."

  • McDonald's pulls AI-generated Christmas advert following backlash

    Jump

  • KFC in South Korea was the worst KFC I've had in my life... but it wasn't the worst experience.
