I'm in this comment and I begrudgingly like it. Carry on.

I still hate "leverage" used as a synonym for "use." "We leverage technologies" yeah sure, when was the last time you had your asshole leveraged?

I've no more fucks to give

My fucks have runneth dry.

I tried to go fuck shopping

but there's no more fucks to buy.

I've no more fucks to give

my fuck rations are depleted.

I rallied my fuck army

but it's been fucking defeated.

You know what would really impress that group of children? A Costco size box of rocket pops.

The Cybertruck is less cool than $20 worth of frozen sugar water.

Well, was it worth learning that about it?

I honestly didn't find it to be that much better of a mouse, the angle of the ball meant I couldn't move it as far in the vertical axis, and the rubberized coating on mine perished so it's got petroleprosy now.

I think I missed that episode of Family Guy.

The mouse I defurred is in fact an M570 trackball, and yeah I usually have the ball out of them quite frequently to clean the three little points. My old Microsoft branded trackball had a much larger hole to push out the ball, this one is barely big enough for a finger, and the one on the MX Ergo is so small you can't even use most pens.

Nope. She's an ordinary short hair. It's just shedding season and I haven't brushed her enough.

This kind.

So, the hub of the mouse wheel, imagine a wad of cat hair you would think would completely fill that space comes out. And then three more.

Hello, CGP Grey here, with a sheet of A4 paper, which is a special aspect ratio that remains the same shape when doubled in size to A3, or cut in half to A5, into quarters to A6 or eighths to A7. It's such a hypnotizing effect, that you can keep going...down...down...down...to the size of a bee, the size of the organs of the bee, the cells of those organs, the molecules of those cells. Just ten doublings down and the lights go out, as we hit the limits of anything that could be called human vision. Turning on magic science vision, we see DNA, the instructions of life, and the atoms that make it up. Falling through the electron shell and then twice as many doublings in scale as we've already gone we find the nucleus of the atom, tightly packed protons and neutrons, each made of three quarks, at which point we fall down, down and down and down to the basement of existence to reach the Planck length, the smallest distance the universe can contain, which hints at a reality pixel, which we probably shouldn't think about. At this scale, at the bottom of reality, there is...nothing here, except for the violin on which I shall play you a sad little tune.

Both PalmOS devices and Blackberries had an app ecosystem before the iPhone did, and I don't really give a shit about the capacitive touch screen. I will grant you that's basically what the iPhone's selling point was, Steve Jobs stood in front of an audience on the edge of their fucking seats and boldly proclaimed "You can use your finger."

Things like the N-Gage and the Sidekick predate the iPhone and frankly were more interesting. That's the part of "You could get a phone to fit your lifestyle." "I text a lot, so I want the Sidekick with the QWERTY keybaord." "I like music so I want the LG Chocolate." Then the iPhone came out, and it was a jewelry rectangle. And then everyone else quickly either exited the market or also began making jewelry rectangles.

I've long thought that phones needed a taze button. Every telephone in the world should have the power to deliver a high power electric shock to the user, and the phone network should only allow the callee to taze the caller. So if you call someone, the person you have called can taze you.

I don't see any problem with the telephone network that can't be solved by putting a 30,000 volt potential across the caller's jaw. Make it work on call bots too, if a computer automatically calls you and you don't want it to, put Shearon Harris on the line. Modern problems require 2nd Amendment solutions, and if you elect me as your president in 2028 it is these policies that I shall energetically enact.

The writing classes I took in college were about MLA formatting and not effective transmission of ideas. It's a real rot in the system, the people who become English professors are the ones who like English class enough to teach it, so English is just a semester of sitting through a pointless middle age woman's pet peeves about grammar and document formatting.

There's something about a handset manufacturer I've NEVER heard of that gives me a raging case of the don'ts.

IMO the bed needs to be at least a foot longer. I've driven an S10 with a 6 foot bed my entire life and I'll go no shorter than that.

ITT: A lot of guys going "Ah man this was first days in my first apartment out on my own. Good times."

Chocolate milk, GameCube, and me!

The wavebird!

Diabolical, isn't it?
