It’s been tried. A huge percentage of the internet runs on Amazon web services… And a massive ddos attack on that barely bumped it beyond the level of holiday shopping.

To get anywhere on “taking down the internet” they’d probably have to physically take out many sites across the globe.

Thank you. It started long before chromebooks were a thing. If anything, we can blame it on windows. I remember people of my generation not understanding any tech from the mid 90s on…

They try to apply it to Biden because he acts a little weird around kids. The worst was when he appeared to be sniffing a young girl. It was weird for sure but I’ve known a lot of elderly to do it. Apparently after a certain age it’s common for young kids to smell really good to the elderly.

Obama really doesn’t have any kind of scandals. After Clinton and Bush it was quite refreshing to not hear much of anything about our president.

For most loads of laundry you only really need like 2 tbsp of detergent, way less than the amount they tell you to use.

Basically just a boot cut at the wrong length for your legs. They look better and are more comfortable when you get the correct size.

5 is the pilot g2 pen. They’re pretty good pens. I preferred the Atlantis series before they changed it.

That’s probably my choice as well… It’s a decent gel ink ballpoint pen that is relatively comfortable to use.

I can actually answer this one. I’m a fraternal twin. I can confidently say that my dick is bigger than my twin brother’s. As for how I know that… As kids we had no issues bathing together… And later in life we just never cared about either being nude. Nothing sexual just a straight up lack of feelings one way or the other.

Also I lived with him and his gf for a bit and she accidentally walked in on me as I was getting out of the shower and her exact words were “I hooked up with the wrong twin”… Unfortunately for her I’m gay.

Yes, although IIRC she was sort of sponsored to go. She didn’t pay for her seat or dress… I’m not sure we should hold that against her too much. Still don’t like that she went but when someone else foots the bill? Fuck it, go have fun.

Yeah, I used to manage a Google account for a school district. I was able to disable the reply all for certain groups. My solution was to disable it for all groups except for one that I specifically created to allow it. The only members of that group had to be allowed in through a vote of our little tech committee which consisted of me and various upper level admins.

It worked quite well and it was hilarious listening to the students bitch that I had locked them out of one of the pranks they wanted to do.

We’re suffering… How do you expect me to feed my family when I have to compete with HAL here?

Add in that as a teacher she likely has student loans to pay on… At least until she can get through the system and get on the public service repayment option. I think they were trying to improve it but last time I tried to get on it the system was less than ideal to work with

And that was the 4th grade question 🤣

I had one where yes everything was plugged in but… The power strips never plugged into the wall… They were just plugged into each other.

That one turned out to be an annoying bit of cable management that I wouldn’t have had to do if they would have just left things alone and let me handle the original ticket

Same here except I can sleep well enough up to around 90 degrees. Above that and I will need a fan.

I bought a phone mount one, it charges quite fast and it is so much easier to place my phone in the dock and have it charge. It does get quite warm but that’s easily remedied by pointing an AC vent to the back of the phone.

Honestly it sounds like you got a low wattage one and yes those do charge much slower.

My favorite fps achievement took place in Halo on the Xbox. We did the thing to play online and during an online ctf match I was on point with the sniper rifle. The match was tied up for flag captures and we were in a stalemate for a bit. The other team managed to get our flag and were running it back. As I’m in my sniper spot trying to line up the shot they all jumped at nearly the same time right into my sights. I take the shot and head shot every one of them… Except for the flag carrier because they apparently jumped just a tiny bit ahead of the others and dropped just enough to go under the bullet.

The entire lobby was going nuts over that last sniper shot. Even though we lost it was the talk of the match. The loss sucked but that shot was amazing. I quit playing for the day after that… No way was I going to top it so I left on a high.

I had one years ago… It never made a sound. It just recorded how I drove and I started getting safe driver discounts on my insurance.

Which is overkill when you can get the same result by just drilling a hole into the drive.

In fairness… Most of the “behind the scenes” are done in metric so we kind of did convert to metric. It’s mostly just the public that is imperial still.

Except that idea was completely undone by Malcolm in the Middle… The Simpsons just didn’t do it right.
