Nobody uses dropbox because they like dropbox. They use it because it's usually the only such service supported by the stupid fucking app they need on the stupid fucking ipad their company insists they use which has no other viable way to put files on and off of the fucking cunting thing because apple is fucking stupid and so is this god damn company.

Someone once told the IT manager that apple devices are "the most secure" and he doesn't even fucking realise that by forcing us to use fucking stupid third party fucking services like fucking dropbox to get files on and off that they are subjecting confidential commercial fucking information to being fucking exposed to third fucking party boneless fucking cunts.

If you're considering a side hustle, the best one is preparing yourself to apply for a job that pays a living wage.

We shouldn't have to work in our downtime to live a good life.

I was at an xmas party one year where the workshop boys did this with an upturned 44 gallon drum. It was the loudest bang I've ever heard. I thought we were under some sort of attack.

They expected the drum to launch a little but what actually ended up happening was the upturned metal bottom blew off and launched a LOT punching a hole in the workshop roof. It's a miracle that nobody was hurt (their hearing probably was). Somehow they didn't get fired.

I'm not interested in any vehicle that requires an app or has its own connection to the internet.

I cannot stand turn based combat and generally avoid RPG's these days and even I think this is a ridiculous take.

I don't own BG3 but I've played at a friend's place and that game is about a thousand levels deeper than Starfield. If you like RPG's and mucking around with dice whilst you play computer games, BG3 is a god damn masterpiece.

If you're so smart, how do you turn the light switch off after you get in bed without firing a shot?

Just before I flew out of India after many months of travel I decided to try a whopper, just to see if it was any different than usual.

Let me tell you folks, hands down the best whopper I've ever had.

The biggest reason for that was that the tomatoes were actually ripe, and fresh compared to the miserable garbage HJs / BK use at home.

To me a burger without tomato is not a burger at all.

I'm so tired of everything becoming an ongoing subscription. In the end the most powerful vote we all have is our wallets.

It's a pretty easy thing to just immediately stop buying from companies that pull this shit.

You have said it very well.

In Australia even our absolute harshest lockdowns made allowances for millions of "essential" industries.

Unless you owned a business installing styrofoam nuns, you kept going to work in some capacity.

We're an island for fuck's sake! We could have stopped this thing in it's tracks. But no, the flights must keep arriving. Business must business.

I am presently using a super niche device. SUPER niche. So niche that I have been dealing really closely with the manufacturer, who worked with Qualcomm and made a specific firmware just to get wifi calling working for me in Australia.

I have quizzed them so many times on why they won't support rom development. You can unlock the bootloader, but the rom files are heavily encrypted. There's no way to extract the boot IMG so we're dead in our tracks.

The manufacturer basically say that they have to fight so hard to gain google certification that they won't do a single thing to risk losing it.

They've been pretty generous with their warranty policies so probably another reason is they don't want to risk anyone doing overclocking etc and then having to cover device repairs or replacement.

I've tried just about every type of automated system Sonarr, Radarr fully integrated with usenet and my libraries etc.

After a while I realised I quite enjoy doing things manually. I get to vet the content a little before I grab it, a bit like going to the video store.

It was fine. Thanks.
