Or the time Ulysses Grant ordered the Treasury to flood the gold market - temporarily tanking the US economy - in order to crush his own brother in laws market manipulation scheme.

You can pull the fuse but this also disables Bluetooth iirc.

I need Office/PowerBi/Teams to work without issue. The web versions do not cut it for my use cases.

Same problem. I actually use Mint on my laptop but the desktop still has Windows 10 because some apps are still just not useable or fully useable on Linux. As much as I wish Libre Office was a full replacement for MS Office, it’s not. At least not for power users.

My Dad: Whips open copy of “Grays Anatomy” (the medical textbook)

“…So the egg travels down the Falopian Tube…”

Me: 😳

Some of us are very sorry that our country, particularly our leadership, is a giant fuckwad and we would put a stop to it if we could.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“No.”

I hate places that drop ship from Amazon.

My electric bill last month would have been $1,700 at that rate. We would just have to freeze to death.

What’s funny is their attempts to rebrand Office have just fallen completely flat. Kind of reminds me of when Willis Group bought the naming rights to Sears Tower and all the Chicagoan’s were just collectively like, “Yeah, No. We’re still going to call it ‘Sears Tower’.” Hell, nobody that I know of calls it “Willis Tower.” Nobody calls Microsoft Office “Office 365”. Nobody is going to call it “Microsoft 365 Copilot.” This is just a huge waste of effort by a tech firm that has long since run out of ways to be innovative.

OK, Art Vandelay.

I’ve always found it interesting how brands that are either not household names or have been mostly forgotten shaped technology that we use every day. You can find LED bulbs or cheap electronics with the Curtis-Mathes brand nowadays but back in the 60’e and 70’s, they set the standard for repairable TV’s, at least in the US. They basically modularized everything to where there were like 10 replacable parts and the repairman carried all of those with him. They could swap out a bad component in minutes.

Another one that was never a household name is Allen Organ Company. They make electronic pipe organs, which replicate the sounds of an actual pipe organ, sans pipes. In the early 70’s they created the first fully digital organ. It had a small computer that generated the tones. Even though it had a several large PCB’s and a pretty big footprint for its limited capabilities compared to computers today, at the time it was a pretty impressive feat.

Salesforce needs no help ruining their own image. Their software is just a giant smoldering pile of shit.

I often VPN to my home network while on the go. The overall web experience is so much worse without DNS level ad blocking.

He should resign as governor because I guarantee he does not have time to do both jobs at the same time.

That said, Trump received 60.22% of the popular vote in Louisiana in 2024 so I’m gonna guess they’re fine with it. Republican voters are usually fine with their politicians doing nothing to improve society. In fact, that’s kind of a selling point.

Once again, I would like to thank stupid politicians and greedy media conglomerates for their contributions to media piracy. If not for all their hard work, we would still be playing Russian Roulette with shitty DIVX rips on Limewire.

Everyone else should just ignore us (the US) and tell Russia to fuck off. You probably don’t have to worry about us interfering too much since we’re too busy planning to lose a war with Venezuela.

He’s just looking for a bribe in the form of a settlement, as usual.

The news has prompted scrutiny online, though there is no evidence of any connection between the award and prosecutors’ move to dismiss the charges.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
