Maybe they've never seen the original? It is a bit deep fried here, but that would still make me feel old.

Absolutely. My spouse looks at me like I'm crazy for putting black blankets on the floor in front of all the south-facing windows, but it's a noticeable difference in those rooms. I also keep the leftover pasta and kettle water out until it's cooled down instead of dumping hot water down the drain. Helps to avoid running the humidifier too.

This is obviously funny, but I think the end result will be a bit sad. Spammers will (or already are) start to use similar AI programs to cold call people, then transfer to the scammer if they've got a live one. Eventually we're just going to be heating the Earth so that invisible chatbots can have conversations no human will ever hear.

That's my primary gripe too. I could theoretically work around it if the chat search worked. I'll try searching for a specific word to see who said it to me and when, but if it was more than a couple days ago I'm out of luck. Later I'll remember who said it, eventually find them in the sidebar, scroll up 40 pages in the chat, and find the exact word Teams claimed it's never heard of.

Exactly what I was going to say because this hit me a while back. I still have no good solution; I have to delete shows/movies from the *arr then manually delete them from qbitorrent too.

I Think You Should Leave is such a gold mine of meme templates.

The trouble is that Management's only job seems to be turning their problems into our problems. Or maybe it's just the only thing they're good at.

I accidentally spoiled that part for my wife. I had already seen it several times before and was watching it again with her. She had her head on my chest and apparently my heart started beating faster at the ramp up to that part, so she knew what was about to happen and called it right before it happened.

Any mod recommendations for a 5 year old? He's got a laptop with Debian on it and I'd like to set him up with MineTest, but I'm not sure he can handle the full MineClonia experience.

Making your own meaning is Existentialism talk! Embrace the lack of meaning!

For a second I thought you meant that you watched Hacksaw Ridge in class.

It was definitely considered piracy by the public at the time. Everyone I knew called it a "legal grey area", but as far as I know it was legally permissable.

The media companies tried their hardest to make it sound like you were destroying the entire industry and you'd go to jail for life as soon as they caught you.

What makes me mad is the boomers I watched copy rentals and NFL games are the same ones telling me I'm stealing by using an ad blocker.
