  • Trying to explain to people that the much larger flying cockroaches you find in Florida are fine and the much smaller invasive German cockroaches are far more of a problem is near impossible when they first come across them.

    I feel like we call them Palmetto bugs instead of roaches just to make them feel better about them. Yet they don’t spread disease the same way, or seem to cause home infestations, which is why they really arent as bad. But when my partner moved from Tennessee to Florida and saw one out on the balcony by the beach, she almost chose to fly over the railing to get away from it either way.


  • For me it was always, what do you want for Christmas? How about a computer chair (because she didn’t like the chair I used, it was one you knelt on kind of like this.

    I would say absolutely not, I love my chair. And she would get me a computer chair for Christmas.

    Same thing happened with my graduation. She got my brother a watch a couple years before when he graduated, told her absolutely don’t get me a watch I never wear them as they always bothered my wrist. (I sweat and run hot, and we lived in Florida, which means it’s always 100% humidity). I of course got a watch for Graduation. I took it to get sized 7 years later, wore it home from the place that sized it put it in a drawer and the battery died god knows when after that, but long before I ever went to wear it, I just saw it was dead when I had to move it to another house. So now I carry a dead watch from place to place and I doubt it’s worth anything as it was engraved on the inside, so I doubt you could even pawn in.






  • I’m sure the character build is to slow for many people but I’ve really liked this season. I’ve always liked over detailed drawn out shows though. The one thing that makes me not like to watch it is Disney plus though. I watch most things through a service with no ads but my partner has access to it there and insists we watch it there to have the best quality or whatever. Every 5 minutes it feels like it pulls a rip cord and jerks you out of the immersiveness to take a shit on your enjoyment and play the SAME FUCKING ADS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. The ads don’t relate to anything, it’s almost why I give targeted ads elsewhere a pass. Emotional moment drawn out in painstaking detail…TRY OUR NEW SUPERMAX PEARL GHOST PADS!!. 1. I’ve never used a pad in my life. 2. I don’t have a vagina. 3. I don’t menstrate. This ad has done nothing but make me no longer want to participate in watching this content on your streaming service and is actively working to get me off of it.

    Yeah the show is fun though.




  • Yeah the UEFI requirement is likely specifically required for secureboot/TPM as well. TPM 2.0 didnt work well with legacy boot options. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Microsoft wouldn’t force those things as requirements if they didn’t think they were going to be held liable in court to provide security for their users. Sure it sucks to have it “forced” but there are worse things to complain about. Like the Microsoft account requirement. Yet once again I’m sure that’s because if you encrypt a drive and forget your password, being able to prove your identity and reset the password is preferred to them than saying the data is gone. Only so many “my wedding photos” and such are unrecoverable you want to deal with. Having a solution for a forgotten password is better than not. And not encrypting the drives isn’t a better answer, as once again, your back to being sued. The advertisements and bloatware are what bother me much more.



  • Born in 89’. I’ve always hated PDF’s. Hey, do you want to enlarge your file for sharing? NO!

    But you can make it so only people with money can edit it? NO!

    Well we’ll let other people sign it for free, you just have to sit all of them down and teach them how to create a signature.

    No, not that signature, that doesn’t count legally. We need you to buy a security certificate and link it to it.

    Can’t I just create the cert on my computer?

    Well yeah, but no one will accept it.

    Fuck off me!
