  • TIL if you google 'Comic Sans', the search results webpage will change font to Comic Sans

    Jump

  • Another but if Comic Sans trivia, it was originally designed for Microsoft Bob OS. However it was not finished in time to be included.

    For those not aware, this is what Bob looked like.

  • Savings Hack Rule

  • In the US Air Force they use US currency at all overseas facilities and shops on the base. But they don't ship pennies because it's not worth the cost, so they round up or down to the nearest 5. I worked with a guy who was so cheap that when it would round down he would pay with cash and when it would round up he would write a check (this was before debit cards, yes I'm that old).

  • Itch.io games site taken down

  • I could understand that if they were an overseas company, but they are from the US. That had to be one of the most incompetent customers service reps ever.

  • Republican senator introduces bill to abolish US Department of Education

    Jump

  • IEP ensure that all children receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restricted way possible. Unless you want kids with special needs just shoved in a special education classroom until their 18, they are absolutely necessary.

    As a parent of a child with special needs, all of this scares the crap out of me. The second the department of education is gone so will the enforcement of the IDEA act. And that is the only thing keeping states like the one I live in from providing these services. It is already hard enough to get schools to do what they are supposed to. I've had to threaten a lawsuit against ours, and it's one of the better school districts.

    The second they don't have to provide for these kids they will shove them in the deepest darkest hole and leave them there until they age out.

  • Republicans admit they plan to implement Project 2025

    Jump

  • Just like the constitution, states can add to, but not take away from federal department of education regulations. For example, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law that makes available a free appropriate public education to eligible children with disabilities throughout the nation and ensures special education and related services to those children. Changing laws if difficult and no one wants to go on record voting against special needs. So they can just get rid of the department that enforces laws and say they are leaving up to the states.

    As someone who lives in a red state and has a child with special needs, the IDEA law is the only reason my child gets any support in school. If they get rid of the department of education then states like Texas can reduce their special education services even further, so they can build more multi-million dollar high school football stadiums.

  • How I imagine life without an adblocker must be like

    Jump

  • So I have a conspiracy theory around that. Android used to put the volume slider at the top of the screen. At some point they moved it to the right side, and now blocks the skip button on YouTube. I won't doubt this was done on purpose, so if you lower the volume for an ad, you will be forced to watch more of it.

  • Could you do me a favour and make this post look like a Reddit post?

  • see ISO 8601

    Got to get those datetimes properly formatted. I can't hate on that

  • But I imagine he's probably really sweaty and hogs the arm rest and/or makes it greasy

  • Parents and Gen Alpha kids are having unintelligible convos because of ‘brainrot’ language

    Jump

  • This is basically repeated every 10 years. Some of them will stick around for the long-term some will die. I don't for see skibidi or gyatt stick around long-term. At least not unironical. I'm in my 40s and I don't have any peers who still use words like "phat" or "whateves". But someone saying bling would not seem out of place.

  • TIL the film "Close encounters of the Third Kind" is shown every single night at the Devil Tower KOA, making it one of the most screened movies ever.

    Jump

  • There are a lot of theaters that have regular Rocky Horror showing. Which combined I think would easily surpass this. Unfortunately, the article doesn't say when they started screening it, but I know Rocky Horror showing that go back in the 90s.

  • What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲)

    Jump

  • Don't forget the situations where you find a good blog post or article that you can actually follow along until halfway through you get an error that the documentation doesn't address. So you do some research and find out that they updated the commands for one of the dependency apps, so you try to piece together the updated documents with the original post, until something else breaks and you just end up giving up out of frustration.

  • What is something people you encounter at your job say that makes you want to scream? (Job, person & quote)

    Jump

  • Can you change the report for this one customer who has a nonstandard completely fucking stupid set up that none of your collection points account for and goes against the entire point of this report?

    Well, maybe not those exact words. It's more like:

    • rep: customers XYZ doesn't like what they see on the report
    • me: well tell them to clean up their shit and stop leaving orphaned systems in their environment
    • rep: well can't you just exclude the orphaned ones
    • me: the point of the report is to help you clean up your environment. If they did that it would show improvement week over week until it got to the levels they want to see.
    • rep: they don't want to do that, they just want them excluded from the report
    • me: no

  • Forgot to pay my domain for a year and now I have to spend £2200 ($3000) if I want to get it back

  • Reminds me of a guy I knew who kept getting letters for a $10 parking fine he got while at university. He waited until they spent more in postage than the fine before paying it.

  • What's your favorite underrated band?

    Jump

  • My first thought too. I can listen to their entire discography without skipping a single song. And they are even better live. Saw them a month ago and even after tonsil cancer Mike hasn't slowed down a bit.

  • In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?

    Jump

  • I was 8 years old when I moved to Texas. I've never been more disappointed than the first time I saw a roadrunner. My only frame of reference was Looney Tunes.
