I didn’t say they don’t, I said it’s difficult for people who don’t know how. You have to spend time on education when you go vegan.

It’s about as dangerous as using IE in the old days, or Edge in administrator mode.

That doesn’t account for the frustration and confusion, the time wasted troubleshooting, the loss of property and time spent replacing it, the consumer trust violations, and the destruction of private property. They should face criminal charges for destruction of private property. By “they” I mean the executives who created and mandated this idea. Then they should be required to pay pain and suffering to each affected user at a rate of $100 per hour, with 5-10 hours assumed, and then have to replace the controllers they broke. Not give money to replace them, they should be required to immediately ship a new controller of the same type that they broke. Anything else is just lip-service, and a nice check for some random law firm.

It’s not even that. That’s like a rounding error for them. They won’t even notice.

People pay it. There’s yer problem.

That’s a cell phone!

Yes, and it’s trivial to retask with the AC97 HD Audio program in Windows, but I couldn’t find an equivalent program for Linux.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.

I do use Linux, and I’m usually glad about it, but I wasted an hour last night trying to figure out how to change my microphone port to a subwoofer port, and never did solve the problem. Linux is awesome, but sometimes basic stuff is ridiculously difficult or impossible.

I have tried to out-crazy them, but crazy has gone beyond my ability in the last few years.

Nah, he threw it on the ground. DUH!

Which turns into coffee grounds when it hits the bed?

Why would a Borg need such perfect breasts? Not that I’m complaining…

I always thought it was BS in movies when they pick a door lock in a few seconds, but nope! That’s completely realistic. The rake was even faster than my key on some attempts.

I don’t want to change anyone’s mind anymore. I’m so tired of trying. I just want them to STFU and believe their wacko shit in private like the good old days.

I have a dozen different hobbies, but I was really into flashlights for a while too. I was into them enough that my wife asked me to stop buying more flashlights and lanterns. I didn’t stop though! I only stopped when I finally decided I had scratched that itch, have obtained what I want, and was bored. But now I have great flashlights in both of our cars, in my mom’s car, one at each exterior door of the house, one at the garage door, and a few lanterns in the closet. She very much appreciates the fruits of my labors now that I’m finished.

Most apartments use Kwikset locks, which are cheap and ineffective. Picking one of those was easier than picking the practice lock from my kit. I could get my front door open in 30 seconds flat with a single pin pick, or like 2 seconds with a city rake.

I don’t think you need the “what if” parts

I guess I like prehistoric the best from an artistic perspective, but none of them effectively convey the size and power of the balrog.

We were all hoping that Red’s help meant Hyde wouldn’t turn out this way.
