Not everyone has the luxury of choosing where they work. People need to eat. Are some people complacent? Sure. But that doesnt mean every person working at Microsoft is a horrible person.

From the trailer and article this looks and sounds well done. It reminds me of Amnesia, at least in that type of psychological horror.

I’m forgetting the episode but darknet diaries podcast had one where a guy took revenge against a former employer and wiped out an entire schools email system and wiped all phones that has logged into the school email. This was done from compromising the school’s outlook admin account.

That was the first time i learned that logging into the employer email could give them the level of control over your device. Fortunately i never have done that for the #2 reason.

Agree. I had that much garlic last night

Germany actually has some good labor rights, top 5 worlwide according to world justice project.

Hey yeah, i get it (or, to some extent) . I am chronically cold due to being a healthy weight and having poor circulation. I wear thermals and hoodies year round even when it’s 90+ out. But for me it’s the extremeties and my ass isn’t too bad.

But to be more constructive, since you know yourself better than anyone. If this is really a deal breaker then id look into getting an extra outlet installed in your bathroom which can vary on price depending on the type of wall (and their service minimum-- if you have other electrical needs you night be able to tackle all at once). It’s been a few years since i had a new outlet installed but i got it for around $250/ outlet. Might be as high as $400-500 for your set up.

And an electric Bidet lid with heated water will cost you $250-500 (maybe there are cheaper ones but I’m just going by some options i looked at for my partner).

Low end $500, high end $1000 for outlet+Bidet. I’m assuming you can install the Bidet lid yourself (it wasn’t hard, promise).

Now i can’t do the next math for you, so I’ll share my toilet math. Costco toilet paper is ~$24/30 rolls (I’m using the price online which may be higher than warehouse, but also closer to other stores). I used to go though a roll per week because my hairy ass loved to play marker with the TP. After i got a Bidet my TP usage dropped my at least 4x. A roll lasts me a long time. So if my weekly cost of TP used to be $1.25 then I’m saving $3.75/ month. And that’s just me maybe you have more people using the restroom. So saving $45/year. We’re looking at 10 years to break even from a cost perspective for the low end of things.

Ok, maybe that doesn’t make the most sense from a cost perspective. My cheapo bidet paid itself off within a year.

Outside of cost id say this:

• i feel much cleaner.
• Ass sweat doesnt feel like I’m making a poo swamp
• my butt thanks me. No more raw asshole
• if you’re in a house with septic system, less TP in the septic system. (This could potentially decrease the amount of time between pumps).

Sorry for the long message. I spent 3 decades thinking my sister was the weirdo for buying a Bidet and i wish i wouldve made the change sooner

When I have to poop away from home I feel like a barbarian.

A year or two ago i could’ve written that. Then i discovered travel Bidets. I have one that is a small bottle i fill up at the sink. Then i also have a Bidet that is just a cap for a plastic water bottle. That one is real tiny so easy to take places.

So if I’m going on a trip i take the small bottle one, and if I’m just going out then i bring the cap

Honestly cold water is not bad. If that’s your deal breaker find a $30 Bidet attachment and give it a try.

Agree or delete account is real “good guy gabe” energy.

What a fucking trash monopoly

Edit: Ok for the corporate apologists; the company gave 0 days notice to this. You HAVE to agree or you can’t access your account, which locks you out of your games. The only options you have are to agree or delete account.

At least discord allowed you to opt out by a certain date when they updated to forced arbitration. Not only is steams move here to protect their 30% take on transactions, more than double of competitors, but steam is also choosing to fuck people over who don’t want to agree. Supposedly if steam ever went under they’d let you continue to access your games but i guess they can instead just enshittify their subscriber agreement so that no one would still have an account. For instance you now agree to only access your games for 1 minute per day and you will be charged $1000 for each time you start up steam would be a great way to force people to delete their accounts so steam doesn’t have to honor their EULA.

But go ahead, keep talking about how good gabe is. Steam is a monopoly. And there are no good monopolies.

I just returned it, but my idea was a separate VLAN and block all connections except for whitelisted ones for streaming. Smart tvs/rokus/etc do a lot of talking and they could theoretically brick themselves if there isn’t an internet connection available.

The future is a wonderful place!

Last tv i bought wouldn’t let you set it up without connecting to the internet. Guess we’ll need open hardware tvs next if they don’t aleady exist

My health insurance denied covering my vasectomy so i put it off. Later that year i was in an accident and hit my max out of pocket pretty quick. I called up my doctor and had them resubmit the preauthorization. got it covered at 100%

I’m still pretty pissed that sterilization for women is covered at 100% under my plan but not for men. (It should be both 100% imo)

i did recently go through and turn off auto renewal on a few. I still have several projects i never launched though that I’m holding out hope for… someday

In cycling it is because some dentists buy the most expensive stuff even if they are only riding 20 miles once a week. Some years later they’ll sell an originally 10k bike, and it has less than a thousand miles on it. Enough dentists have done it that it is now just a term you call anyone who way overbuys their needs.

My old dentist got into cycling after talking to me about cycling. He ended up buying a 10k+ bike even when i told him not to. He rode that summer but after that the bike stayed mounted in his office. I used to poke fun at him for being the meme

In cycling we call them dentists.

But if someone is trying out one of my hobbies idgaf what gear they can afford. We all start somewhere.

Here are some good rule of thumbs for work and schools:

• do not connect to their networks with your personal devices, ever.

• Only use work/ school devices on their own network.

• Do not do anything personal on those networks. only do work/school related tasks. This means don’t log into any non school/work accounts.

• If for some reason they don’t have a device for you but require you to use their network, then leave your personal devices at home claiming you don’t own one and make them accommodate you.

You cannot expect privacy in these situations, and by going to the extreme lengths to try to get it then you will ironically just paint a bigger target on your back if any network admin cares. In some cases this can cost you your job or get you in trouble with the school.
