    Dave. We ate too many shrooms, you look like a cat. And I got you into Linux, remember? Your fringe looks annoying as hell to live with. I’m gonna get a beer… DAVE! COME LOOK AT THE CARPET!..Look, it’s like symmetrical craters…Now you look like a baseball team’s mascot.

    I travel a fair bit and one of the most embarrassing things is that I’m monolingual. Something like 4-5 BILLION people are 2+ languages. And then there’s me from a rich nation with a solid education, trying my best to speak the local language, just to have the other person step in with perfect English out of pure sympathy.

    But, hey, people love that you make the effort. It’s like the joy of seeing a 3 year-old count to 10…except you’re an adult trying to say, “Could I have two, please?”

    “Oh! That was very good!”

    3 year-old grin on my adult face









  • Haha, I had that recently setting up a VM. Using my old key I had since Win 7 came out, just upgraded along the way. Suddenly it doesn’t work.

    “Uuuuuh… Wtf do I do now?”

    I got it working, but after forgetting how painful a Windows install is and then setting it up properly, I gave up. Got Vivaldi on and just was so over it at that point, knowing there was still at least an hour of more work to put in before Windows was under control.





  • How does someone get to know thermal paste is a requirement without accidentally seeing how it’s required?

    This is like knowing petrol is needed for your new car, then just stopping at some point, referring to the note “Get petrol” and deciding pumping it into every orifice the car has is what that means. “I assume that’s what that meant. I’m in a rush. No time to Google how to pump this “petrol” thing into the car.”







  • It’s listed as a feature and you can see it in action if you’re like me and keep displays on for 10+ mins of inactivity… I think the only conflict to it would be if your computer put itself to sleep for power saving.

    I’ve had no issues with it; can’t even recall one. Sign-in issues could just be your company SSO being shit as Microsoft’s SSO so often is…
