System Tray Icon?!? What is this sourcery?

Sounds so futuristic. I mean I may be stuck in the 70s reading my electronic mail in pine on a pdp11, so that may influence my judgment.

Water? Like from the toilet?!? But Brawndo’s got electrolytes

No, you’re thinking of Mercedes, this is BMW so you have to buy the ‘fuck you’ subscription, just a monthly 15€, to get that amount of response from them.

That subscription is only available for customers who have bought the “car seat heat ON”, “car seat heat OFF”, “AC direction control with an optional AC temperature control upgrade”, AND the “rear mirror defrost” subscriptions … as well as having less than 20000km on the odometer, past 20k km the subscription is 20€ and requires the “advanced oil leak detection system” subscription (it’s just a light on the dash to remind you to casually look where you parked for oil spots)

Fuck BMW, let me have an Opel Kadett instead

[a] Fork That Promises Better Features

Have they released anything yet? Or are we at the project stage, where they’re yelling at their CLI confused about git?

Promises are cheap, releases matter. I mean I could announce a project called Betterfox, promising to bring better features to a well-known browser. But in reality I’m by myself, overly ambitious, and going to leave the github page abandoned after the initial commit.

Classic DIY landlord story. Had a coworker who bought an all but derelict house, which he split into “apartments” and did all maintenance himself. For him, tenant turnover was pure profit - he’d grab the cheapest paint from the supermarket, slap it on everything (outlets included), give the floors a quick once-over, and pocket the full security deposit. Three months’ rent for a Saturday’s “work.”

His favorite scam? Convincing tenants to pay deposits in cash because it would be “easier to return” from his safe. Several times a year he’d pocket thousands in untaxed cash since there was “no paper trail.” Tenant turnover was his real income stream - much better than dealing with those pesky long-term renters always complaining about moldy walls, leaky faucets and unplowed snow.

Last I heard, he was trying to unload the place on Facebook Marketplace. Don’t know why, maybe the IRS (or tax daddy, as it’s colloquially known in Danish) got wind of his cash flow.

He should have gone to the Anne Frank museum

Wait, those games came on CD? I thought they came as ISOs with a nocd_patch.exe

Marking your territory probably didn’t help you either

Good…

It’s hard to apply the gel as they may fight back, but gassing them is a better bet, unless they have a gasmask. But in that case I guess they may also have a knife, so the gel is still a nogo.

There’s plenty of other things about Seagal to make fun of. Tom Segura has a whole bit about it.

Ok I think I get the idea… But even with me, who is definitely not well endowed, metal shears would take quite the effort. Giving me more of an opportunity to attempt to hinder the impromptu castration… Wait are we talking taking of the ball sack? Still, box cutters would be more efficient.

I still don’t get it. My metal shears don’t open enough for anything but sheet metal, and they’re definitely not suitable for anything hardened. I get the feeling that the reference is about using them on people, but I don’t understand how.

I think that was part of the humor intended. Because it was spelled with a lower case m, which (ignoring the author’s possibility of mistakes) means it was referring to the smell and not the person.

What calendar do you use where Thursday occurs before Monday in the week?

Yes, sorta like how you’re able to drink mercury, but you really shouldn’t.

I know we’re not supposed to invite violence. So this is pure satire ;-)

huh, I guess that your pericardium isn’t stab proof. Who would have thunk?

That’s almost the exact qoute in my clipboard, and pretty much my response.

Let’s not turn a tragic incident into a trend. Most people don’t hate CEOs. They don’t care about CEOs. They have bigger issues to care about.

They will have bigger issues to care about. the quiet part said out loud.

How can you be so oblivious? When you’re the biggest issue people have, then you get to act all indignant when people deals with their issues.
