Yeah I've been taking probiotics supplements. But the antibiotics kill the things faster than they have time to make a new home in my tummy.

Oh well, small price to pay to keep my current shoe size.

the red green show

I loved the Red Green show, and I still do because it's on Youtube!

I am genuinely sad.

As opposed to when Henry Kissinger died: I ordered fries with my burger that day.

The nation's treasures are not Trump's to give.

And this is surprising how?

Apple is like all the other corporate monopolies operating in a fascist country: they're in cahoots with the powers that be. It's just that somehow Apple has managed to convince a lot of gullible people that they're on their side.

As always, follow the money - because Apple's friends are rich fucks and people in power that can give them more money, not you.

apt generally downloads more things than apt-get on my Debian machine. apt-get never broke anything, but I tend to eye it suspiciously now.

Yeah alright. That's one way of looking at it 🙂

I guess what I meant is that I don't like upgrades that happen without me explicitly requesting each and every one of them, and me watching the upgrade process as it happens for errors.

No Linux system of mine upgrades itself without my explicit consent. That's one of the many reasons why I don't run Windows.

The poster would be more convincing if you hadn't inverted apt-get update and apt-get upgrade...

The author is caching images to offer their users the privilege of not having to hit a Google server - and have to trust a Google server.

The stealing isn't what you think - or even what the author thinks: they didn't steal the images from Google. The images never belonged to Google to begin with, and Google was serving them up for free.

What the author did was deny Google an opportunity to track the users hitting Google servers. In other words, the author stole a bit of datamining revenue from Google.

Good on them!

“We’re being invaded by our own military.”

ICE is to the military what the Gestapo was to the Wehrmacht.

 

Great tech, terrible company.

I will never get them, and I would probably punch the first guy I talk to who refuses to take them off and stop filming me with them. But the technology is fascinating.

 

That's Trump's favorite TV show, and the show the current Secretary of Defense anchored, people.

It's getting Nazier by the minute in this motherfucker....

So I got tired of waiting for the slow-slow public hospital and decided to have my bone spurs removed in a private clinic. I got the surgery yesterday, and I've been lying in bed with my leg elevated, trying not to move, waiting for the pain to subside.

This morning, the phone rang in the living room. Damn... I got on my feet, grabbed the crutches and hurried out my bedroom to answer the phone.

It was the clinic: "Hello Sir! You've had surgery at our clinic yesterday!.To thank you for your business, we would like to offer you a free podiatrist foot and nail care consultation!"

...

Really?

I know it's just a machine triggering the call for a commercial offer. But they could at least have someone check the person's medical record first. It's a bit depressing. Kind of like when my Dad reached the age of 100 and he started getting ads for baby formula because the advertisers' database encoded the age on 2 digits...

 

Funny how no flags are ever lowered at half-staff for any school shootings.

Cuz you know, children aren't nearly as important as one MAGA pundit...

 

I question whether reaching "flagship level" in prosthetics and the unprecedented growth of the domestic prosthetics industry is something a country should be proud of.
