Get the largest vacuum bag. Stuff a giant stuffed animal into it. Suck all the air out of it until it looks llike a midsized irregular object. Wrap it and give it to your 5 year old nephew, having Christmas at grandma’s house (6 hour drive from home).

Bahahahahaha

To be fair, my brother-in-law started it by giving my kids the loudest most annoying shit possible. Vengeance is mine.

The OS desktop environment has stagnated over the past 15 years.

Many businesses have transitioned from a 3-4 year rotation on desktops/laptops to every 5-6 years today. Hell my work laptop is 6 years old and I don’t forsee replacing it for another 3-4 years. For work functions there is no significant improvement to upgrading more frequently today.

So if they launched W12 next year, widespread adoption will likely not occur until 2032-2033 or at the Win11 EOL whichever comes first.

The developers today are working on a system that will not become mainstream for 8+ years. They want to launch in the next 2 years knowing it will not be adopted for years.

They ignoring the reality of today’s market and building to meet the latest fads. It’s Windows 8 all over again.

BYU aka happy hunting ground for rapist.

As a university it has an extremely high level of unreported rape and sexual assault. This is because reporting the rape often leads to the victim being punished, kicked out of the university, and all credits lost.

Its a U.S. medical bill.

The hospital asks for whatever the fuck it wants after it does the treatment.

Then insurance says “we only pay a negotiate rate” and pays $25-$30K."

I had intern from France a year back when I worked in research. He went skiing and broke his leg around 6 months in. The French healthcare system sent him a check for how much the medical treatment would cost in France. It was around 10% of the bill. He paid the 10% to the hospital.

The hospital kept billing him and sent some of the bills to collections. He asked me what to do about it. “Tell them they have been fully paid by the French health system and to take it up with them. Then go back to France in 2 months and forget about it.”

He laugh and said they immediately stopped bothering him after that.

Further explanation:

Mongoose are snake predators and have developed resistance to cobra venoms native to their home range. Most of the time they avoid any bites with relfexes and speed but they do get hit.

Although Australian poisonous snakes are of the cobra family, they have different venom complexes to those in India etc. Their immunity developed over millennia of evolution doesn’t work. So the introduced mongooses ended up as a dinner for the snakes.

Be better to ban loans on financial assets. These are loans against stocks/bonds etc that they commonly use. In order to get a loan it has to be against a physical asset. Also set firm limits to how much any physical asset can be leveraged.

Windows 11 UI is a downgrade from XP.

Windows 11 is also deeply unstable. I haven’t had this many program crashes, errors, and other bullshit since Vista and ME. Windows 10 had it’s annoying quirks but it was at least relatively stable.

I have saved myself the headaches with UI changes since the Win8 clusterfuck when installed a 3rd party taskbar/menu.

Some of us have never forgotten the gunpowder plot.

When I was on the travel circuit I always did a carry-on and a backpack. The backpack was usually full of job related equipment so there wasn’t much room for clothing etc. The carry-on was enough for trips of up to 2 weeks.

As I was in agricultural fields and hot temps everyday in all sorts of countries, full changes of clothing was required plus at least one laundry stop before I came home(phytosanitary rules and all). My carry-on often weighed in at 40lbs or more on those trips.

They are also totally not using cheats as they go 95:8 in the round.

Honestly most of the issues with OneDrive are from one setting:

Files On-Demand - it’s turned on by default. It uploads all the files in the drive to the cloud and then deletes them from the local computer. Its absolutely, fucking stupid and should be banned.

AI hardware is a sales pitch without a clear product. Consumers have no clue why they would want to buy something with AI on it.

For most consumers AI is a webpage that kids cheat on homework or adults attempt to cheat at work with. It makes ugly fake pictures with all sorts of weird errors. Its also the annoying as fuck answering services that you have to yell at 4 or 5 times to get to a real person.

Why would an AI PC be desirable?

It’s worth $30 more per year. Aka it’s a subscription rate hike.

They hiked up all of the subscriptions. Then made it confusing as fuck to subscribe back to the one that you had.

Grammar is the attempt to enforce random arbitrary rules on a continuously evolving language.

The real solution would be for the EU to mandate an standardized open source connection platform that all car companies are required to support.

I currently use android auto on my truck. I had to make a bunch settings modifications to make it semi-functional. It took me months to figure out how to get it to do what I wanted, when I wanted it

They have been proven multiple times to significantly decrease productivity but they are cheaper to build. Visual and sound distractions break up concentration when you are tying to work.

I had one place that insisted on an open office with these these torture style “ergonomic” chairs. I hated the setup so did some sleuthing. The chair model was discontinued because they sucked and the company got them on a steep discount. The “open office” desks where 1/8 the price of a traditional cubical setup.

My favorite was to take a screenshot of the desktop and set it as the background. Then put all of the icons into a folder. Most people I left the folder on the desktop. The IT guys, the folder was then hidden.

Non-destructice hijinks were highly encouraged at my first job. It was a way to encourage people to remember to lock up their computers when they stepped away.

So mouse button settings were often reversed, hotkeys were mapped, desktop backgrounds were modified, and basically every other non-destructive computer prank was pulled.

Strange, what mysterious land is this where farm laborers are paid fairly. I have traveled to every continent and 40+ countries visiting thousands of farms. Never have I found a place where farm laborers were paid fairly. They are always the abused serfs of the society working long hours for little pay.

I have seen human suffering in vast quantities but never a fair wage.

Try dragging a fishing net through that and see how long it takes for the government to show up to kick your ass.
