My marriage

I was kind of rolling my eyes at you until the last sentence

They’ll always tell you.

Chaturbate

What’s a Gboard

Hitachi wand

I think we as a species ran out of funny subject matter for rage comics. I still assert that they’re better than wojaks though

Ah shit you’re right. I suck

If Jodie Foster had been impressed by James Earl Ray, we could have had a much better timeline.

Good thing neither of those things will happen

This might work to stop autism!

The brain drain is going to devastate science in the US for generations. Totally squandered in a matter of a couple years.

Best for who?

For people who want a streaming box.

They insist upon themselves

Hate to break it to you, but AppleTV really is the best option.

I haven’t tried it, but I would think that running something shitty like a Roku but gating it with a pi-hole would be reasonable. You just have to make sure that there’s no open networks within reach (neighbors, etc).

That’s ALL he had to do!

In addition to the great advice in this thread, as a dev you were probably working in one stack for those 7 years. When that happened to me, I realized that my skills were out of date. So I did some leetcode grinding to get current. Also, lots of jobs use leetcode-type screenings now, so best to get proficient there. It sucks but that’s the way it is now.

Gather ‘round kids, time for a story. The year was 2003, and TiVo had defined the category of DVRs and instantly become indispensable. People loved that they could fast-forward through commercials, much to the chagrin of networks and advertisers.

But a new competitor entered the scene: ReplayTV, a product that did everything TiVo did with one major added benefit: it automatically detected and skipped commercials without having to press a button. It was glorious. So naturally, like all things which improve the life of a consumer, the powers-that-be took umbrage. Funded by TiVo lobbying, the FCC decided that not having to press a button on a remote was a bridge too far. ReplayTV was crushed by a heavy fine and ban, relegating them to the tech scrap heap. Thus TiVo maintained their position as market leader, despite having an inferior experience.

All this to say: fuck you TiVo, you wasted your brand clout and position by getting into bed with the same lawmakers who fomented your demise when the HD era was legislated to ban commercial-skipping mechanisms.

Ah, looks like you’re following ’murica’s lead. Don’t worry, it gets worse!

Your Walmart only has two carts like that!? The one near me (which I refuse to go into) looks like a shopping cart battlefield.

Walmart is the physical manifestation of not returning a shopping cart.
