You just know this is going to change some minds about climate-change, but in a bad, pro-climate-change kind of way.

I never understood this. When I was a wee lad I wanted a car that sounded just like KITT. Completely silent.

The only difference between now and 10m years ago is that every creature had bigger teeth back then. Prove me wrong.

It probably requires an app to monitor the wash cycle. All they have to do is start charging a subscription to use the app. If people bought the dishwasher because they would get alerts when their dishes were clean, now they have to pay a recurring fee.

Roku pushed an update to their TVs requiring owners to agree to a new terms of service. There was no “disagree” button, and the TV wouldn’t work until people accepted the changes.

This is such a new problem that it’s never been challenged in court.

There have been instances of network-enabled devices updating to put existing features behind a paywall, unilaterally changing the terms of service (can’t use device anymore until you agree to new terms), and simply removing features that you paid for when you bought the device.

Why does a dishwasher need wifi?

I would pick something remarkably awful, like Valerian and the World of a Thousand Cities. And at the end of the movie would be a note that says “I have to live with this, and now you do too.”

Never pass up a chance to fuck with future self’s mind.

You want to fill the area above that wall, just between the floor joists? I’m not sure the faced fiberglass is worth the trouble. Are you trying to mitigate noise? What’s that wall made out of, and how thick is it?

The welding blanket is a great idea. But, fiberglass, can you cut it without shedding fibers everywhere?

Avoid ANYTHING that will burn. You’ll violate your new code compliance. You can get fiberglass insulation panels with a foil backing. These can be cut to size with a utility knife. Some good tape should hold it in place.

Do a search for “basement fire barrier” and you’ll find other ideas.

911, what’s your emergency?

I found a dead body on the side of the road.

Where are you? I’m sending police to you now.

Uhh, I touched it.

OK, don’t do that. Do you have hand sanitizer?

I may have eaten some.

…

Also, I tripped. I may have slipped inside.

What does that mean?

I…completed.

Listen just stay where you are, police are on their way.

I once walked down to the local ice cream dispensary to get a cone of some type. But they were short-handed that day, and had closed the walk-up window. So I walked over to the drive-thru window.

They would not serve me without a car. Instead of closing the drive-thru and making drivers get out of their car, they closed the walk-up window, and wouldn’t serve any walk-ups at the drive-thru.

Fuck drive-thrus.

If Trump is elected, not only will the US continue to arm Israel, but also pressure other countries to arm Israel?

My favorite phone was a Sony Xperia Compact. If they still have SD Card slots my next phone will be Sony.

“I make online honeypots.”

I just had to make a password for a hotel.

8 to 20 characters Uppercase Lowercase Digits OR special characters.

The capitalized OR is important. You can have either numbers in the password, or special characters, BUT NOT BOTH.

Took me 8 tries.

• First one was too long.
• Second and third used both numbers and characters, but I thought the characters were TOO special.
• 4 through 6 used both numbers and special characters.
• Seventh password used just letters and numbers, and it was accepted.
• Eighth try I used just letters and keyboard characters, and that was accepted too.

Happy cheesecake day!

Remember when BMW got shit for a subscription for heated seats? Subaru has been doing that shit for some time now.

Scott Adams is my favorite self-destructive asshole. The massive ego goes perfectly with his complete lack of self awareness. He’s a total expert in every field, but all science is fake.

He 100% believes that the 2020 election was stolen, and elections are, by design, incapable of being secure. When a (republican) election expert tried explaining how our elections are actually very secure, and there’s extremely few instances of fraud, Scott’s response was “I’m not reading all that.”

He’s also a trained hypnotist. I’m not sure what that means, it probably has something to do with clown school. Except all education is fake too.
