Hah. I just got my first one today. I immediately chalked it up to spam, but didn’t know it was so widespread. Hilarious.

My favorite is probably the Drab breasted bamboo tyrant

LMABF8 had the coldest water. I’m all for the EZH20 because I carry a bottle around with me and it’s less likely to spread germs and causes less waste, but I feel like the water coming out of them is barely chilled. I like my water to be so cold it is borderline painful when I am drinking it.

Nothing hit as hard as coming out of gym class in high school and getting some fresh gulps of ice cold water from the LMABF8. Peak refreshment.

Any given second he could go mad postal

Oh my fucking god. Thank you!

Confusion like this got me my current job. They were looking for somebody with experience in “Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager”, and I look that up and I’m like “Oh, that’s SCCM, I do that”. Go through the interview process they keep asking me if I know Endpoint Configuration Manager and I’m like “yeah, for sure”. I get the job. Day one, the other systems engineer is like “here is the link to our Endpoint Manager Tenant”, and I’m like “oh… Shit I have never ever used this”

Well… Ends up Endpoint Configuration Manager and Endpoint Manager are two different things. Fortunately for me they are pretty similar in function and rely on knowledge of Windows and Powershell, which I know.

So my first 2 weeks of work was taking a shitload of courses in Endpoint Manager and watching a lot of videos and learning it inside and out.

2 years later and I’m an Endpoint Manager/Intune pro.

Linus was ahead of the game on this one. Nvidia should start building data centers next to public pools. Cool the systems and warm the pools.

I am saying this with all seriousness. Have you had your eyes checked recently?

A friend of mine was complaining about the print quality of some text on a can and I was like “hah what? Lemme see” and it was perfectly clear (just like the bear emoji or any other emoji for that matter).

You may need glasses.

Hold the phone… You’re telling me that it’s possible that Bob Marley also shot the deputy? Wait… Did he even shoot the sheriff? And if so, how can we be sure that it was in self defense?! Oh man, my whole world is upside-down now.

For the uninitiated - It’s a song made by AI. We certainly are living in the future.

In a perfect world, there would be the recommended mix, and then the apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc) would let you adjust the faders the way you can with EQ. Instead of one stream of sound, you can balance the voice/music/fx by yourself. Hell, throw EQ on each of those channels. Late at night and you don’t want to bother the neighbors? Let me turn down the bass on the FX and Music channels. Also let me just turn down FX and Music channels in general because I can’t fucking hear what the actors are saying.

Edit: I was talking to my wife about this subject and she was like “yeah, I can do this on my Peloton. Adjust the voice vs music”

So yeah. The technology exists. It may not be retroactive. Like movies and shows already made won’t have the option (but vocal isolation plugins have come a long way). But we have the technology and bandwidth to do it moving forward.

I put “Chaotic Neutral Technomancer” as my title at work and HR said I had to change it.

This is like the 3rd time I’ve seen somebody bring up Outer Wilds today, and I still haven’t played it. It looks like that might be next on my list.

It does indeed.

I was undiagnosed for a long time, and my progress reports always came back with “work is erratic”… How did that not send up flags?

I remember the Voodoo brand cards, so not only do my back and knees hurt, but I should probably start getting my prostate checked.

Ahhh those. Yeah I’m fine with those. Text me the voicemail lol

My voice mailbox is full and a refuse to empty it. If you want to leave me a message, send me a text.

How the fuck else are you supposed to hold a Klondike Bar? This is not an end user issue. This is a engineering issue.

Edit: apparently there’s a wooden handle to the side. I did not see that. I regret everything that I have said, and I deserve to be publicly shamed.
