  • Oh, I went full Jesus during the pandemic, with long hair and let my beard grow out. . .and it just never made up for the fact that I have literal bald patches throughout it. . .I almost needed a comb over on my beard it was so pathetic.

    That, and I have seborrheic dermatitis, and growing a beard makes it flair up and it seems the only way to get rid of it is for me to shave when it happens. And then I just have a red face which is no good.

    Better for me to just stay clean shaven. lol

    It’s expensive up front, but I switched to a leaf razor years ago i just had buy a new pack of 100 razors for 19 bucks. I use 3 at a time, but they last a long time.

    They last a long time, are cheaper, I get a better shave (especially since moving to a puck and horsehair brush), and I don’t generate nearly any plastic trash.

    I can’t recommend moving over enough.

    You really can’t think of anything more obviously a case of treason than what you believe trump has done?

    The guy is loyal only to himself, no doubt. But, I don’t even see how it would fit this definition at all, and I can easily come up with many things more obviously a violation. Also keep in mind that Russia is not an enemy; we are not at war with them. They are an adversary.






  • Funny. I have a buddy who bought his around the same time as I did. I remember talking about it. I saw him a month or so ago and he was still using his. He’s got a ton of money (well paid, no kids) and in tech so I figured he would have at least upgraded, but he said there was no need.

    Although I just looked it up and they have bad reliability ratings, which is surprising to me based on how good mine has been with decent usage.

    I’ve been extremely happy with my windows surface book, which I got over a decade ago, still use regularly, and I can even still develop on it without a huge headache. I think visual studio is the best ide I’ve used. Vscode has replaced pretty much every other basic text editing tool I use (windows based, at least). I’m not a big fan of windows adding more and and tracking shit to the os, but I can’t remember the last time ive had a bsod, and even then I was fighting with hardware problems.

    They definitely have their crap and shit that drives me nuts, and like all the big companies they are trying to slurp up as much data as they can get, which is enough reason for many people to move away, but this idea that they “suck at everything” is just circle jerking.





  • I disagree because you probably use the entertainment buttons more than anything. For instance, my wife’s car has the volume control on the touchscreen, which is super annoying because it’s something I like to manually adjust a lot.

    I honestly can’t think of what I would prefer be touch screen…really it should just display on a touch screen so I can use it if I want, but everything should be controllable through physical buttons too.


  • It really depends on how complicated your set up is and how much you value your privacy. I use personal capital (now empower), which also helps me manage a budget as well, and see our multiple investment accounts all in one place, so I can balance both mine and my wife’s. So I would recommend that, with the caveat that you might not feel comfortable sharing all of that with a third party.


  • Microsoft expects me to pay for Office 365? No, fuck you, I’ve got LibreOffice and your older Office software still works as good. Your word processing program, Word, hasn’t really changed that much since 2007 or even 2003. Hell, maybe not since 1997!

    So I moved to foss probably about 20 years ago and have been going back and forth between libre office and open office.

    A couple of years ago my wife wanted me office, so I got the subscription…and man it’s so much better than either of those two, and to suggest that maybe it hasn’t changed since 1997 is mindboggling.

    I’m a big proponent of not signing up for these services, but this paragraph really misses the mark for me.
