This shit drives me up a wall. The local, formerly awesome pizza place switched to DoorDash for delivery and it has sucked ever since. Pizza arrives cold since door dash drivers don’t have insulated bags, half the time they chuck it on the front porch and it sits there on the cold concrete even longer.

Delivery driver was always a reliable stoner job, I had so many friends in my youth who delivered pizza. Despite the cloud of weed smoke that came with the pizza, it was always hot and fast. They were motivated to get those tips after all.

ding, ding, ding… It’s much more lucrative to be pursued than it is to be part of the machine. He’d be a relatively progressive republican (at least according to them) and he’d be getting criticism, instead of praise from the fascists.

It’s not that tiny, it’s at least 27%.

Lunch Discussions #145: The Crazification Factor

there’s that pesky concept that this clown ignores laws and norms, and has 2 additional branches of goverment who are dedicated to nothing more than sycophancy to him.

The US government is currently run by calvinball rules.

I bought my Bambu back when orca slicer and local network was out of the box supported. It was only a few months later that they locked out their firmware and started down this path.

I’ve been steadfastly refusing to update firmware. I hope to modify it someday but if not, I’ll just make sure it’s my last Bambu.

It’s good, it’s bad, it’s good, it’s bad, it’s…

Fuck it, life is better with coffee, and fruit.

Never forget.

if only, it’s like america’s superpower.

I’m m an Infrastructure architect and engineer, this is the same problem in enterprise. Cloud, SaaS, proprietary vendors, they all want to lock you. Time and place for all of it, but you’ve gotta know what you are getting yourself into.

What chance does the average, non-30 year veteran of industry have? It’s bad out there.

Nah, wasn’t “we” , it was “them” who sold us on a promise, but was really a leash, or muzzle. The “them” is the oligarchs, the billionaires, the epstein class…

Oh, I know, ai was trying to point out the insanity in a few words as possible. All the solutions and conveniences we are being sold are bullshit. They are sold as helpful but just make you hate the world.

I had an Apple Watch, the simplicity of not having to take out my phone was the draw, I could see my notifications quickly and easily. All it did though was create more distraction, more digital cruft to wade through and dismiss. I get more value out of the rubber band that I have on my wrist right now than I did the Apple Watch.

Goddamn, I am so tired of modern convenience. My god we have made shit complicated in the name of simplicity.

Thank you. I live for comments like these. I feel this sentiment is lost on most these days.

I sat next to a lady on an international flight, who took off her shoes and clipped her toenails mid-flight. Dude on the other side of me was too drunk to notice.

My coffee experience is fine thank you. Every morning I boil the kettle, hand crank the grinder while it’s heating. Combine in the French press, wait a minute, stir, wait 4-5 more, press and pour into my mug.

It’s a great morning routine, less than 10 minutes, cheap and results in a great cup. I have no interest in the coffee flavored milkshakes they serve so why would I ever set foot in a coffee shop?

The fact that someone even asks this question tells me there is something deeply wrong with the culture these days. No shade on you OP, I’m sure you are a good person. But it’s obvious that corporate propaganda has worked extremely well.

No, absolutely not, you are well within your rights to buy off brand and second hand equipment. Heck, I consider it a moral victory in avoiding the hellish markups the big brands put on their consumables.

Push back when kind of question comes up, we have to counter the propaganda, otherwise it will soon become law. I’m certain home tool manufacturers would move to a printer ink model in a heartbeat. It’s bad enough that there isn’t a universal battery mount as it is.

yes, work in progress actually…

With how fucking slow windows has gotten on my work PC with all the copilot bullshit, I’m pretty sure MS is doing the same thing. No proof, just a painfully slow machine after getting all the AI updates…

I hate having that machine in my house, on my network.

He’s only concerned because he knows his and his allies actions are so bad, one might say biblically bad, that he’s trying to control the narrative to look in another direction.
