Not like the millions or billions of man hours wasted to make 50-ish removed into defacto-gods.

Pretty much, most of the gen x I work with are indistinguishable from boomers at this point.

kids don’t want to work these days

people need to just save more money

immigrants are taking all the jobs

Having just jumped over I might be bottom of the priority list for company communications.

Guess I’m a low-value client.

You guys got to work from home? I had to work on Christmas 2020.

My GF got around the Honda reliability problem when some jerkoff stole her CRV last week. Guy walked up, did some SDR magic, opened the door, started it up and drove away. Both keys were in the house :/

S-Tier security there, Honda.

Sigh More Jeep stories. Despite regular oil changes and maintenance my Jeep would occasionally just fail to build oil pressure all together when starting. Shutting down and starting again always fixed it, never had any crud in the oil pan, happened 3 or 4 times a year for 12 years. New owner says it still does it.

Debian, based distro.

I was with Google Domains but switched to Namecheap. They are easy enough to work with and not the most expensive.

They suck to edit but you can create them in most Free/Open/Libre software. It’s my favorite way to distribute drawings so that they print the same on every machine.

Canadian here, no, not at all. I had a family doctor but they retired, the new doctor was already full up so I am left without a family doctor. If I need medication it has to be paid for out of pocket, any dentistry that is not life altering (cleaning, fillings, braces/retainers/corrections) has to be paid for out of pocket. Therapy? Out of pocket. Glasses, hearing aids, you guessed it.

Sure you could have a job with health coverage but that is up to the discretion of your employer, they can drop your coverage and all you can do is nothing. Canadian health care is an absolute embarrassment and should never be celebrated as some achievement over the only country with a worse system than ours.

Web is the way. No apps, no filtering, just the site as intended by the dev.

This doesn’t get said enough:

Fuck Reagan

I think cars should not be dependent on a touch screen for ANY of it’s functions (or really have one at all). They are more difficult to use than tactile buttons, distracting, and do not receive long term support from the OEM.

What do you do with a 10 year old car that runs but the touch screen nuked due to age, firmware bugs or mechanical damage? Ford isn’t going to be selling replacement units 10 years later and I have yet to see an ‘infotainment’ system that has aftermarket replacement considerations.
