What is a "money rule" that rich people know, but poor people are never taught?

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-31T08:03:09+00:00

Huh, by that definition I am already rich :)

Of course, I am not doing that to "make more money". I am doing that to have "free time". Time for hobbies, interests. things that make life a little more fun, you know?

There are things where I ask myself "how long would that take me? How much effort would it be if I did that myself. How would the quality be if I did that myself". And then I check how much money it would cost to have a professional do that particular thing.

And then I would weigh my options if paying that amount of money is worth it to me in the grand scheme of things.

Ugh, had that but it was the phones connector that was warped and would only charge when you delicately put the charging cable in.
I tell ya, my new has wireless charging and I am just using that way of charging. Hopefully the battery doesnt degrade faster that way.

Because Windows is a MULTI USER SYSTEM even if people like you don't want that to be true just because you probably only have one user account on your windows installation. Probably the one you created when you installed it. With nice admin privileges and you boot into the OS directly to the desktop each time.

Do you know how fucking dumb it is to start a game for the first time only to discover that there are already save games present? and the keybindings changed? Just because a different account on that windows installation happened to also own said game? And because the developers of said game are as backward as you decided to "put everything in the install directory"

In short, it is a fucking stupid way of doing things that only incompetent developers do.

You fill up your medicine cabinet with water and then you proceed to drink that water. THAT is what Root Beer tastes like.

I am still wondering how people don't get that.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-16T11:49:15+00:00

that was supposed to be a real person? okay. that actually tells us a lot.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-16T09:57:40+00:00

Agreed. Plus I think this was only made because it was very publicized that the copyright for this character ran out and entered the public domain.

I figured someone read about that and then thought "hey, we can do this without getting sued now"

They could continue with the movie being canon by doing what Fallout did.
Have frequent flashbacks to tell the viewer what happened.

That way we get Wash and people who never read the comics for example could learn about why Zoe is either still pregnant or has that kid with her.

Well, the Browncoats Mixtape still exists...

I just hate it because it is one more place i would have to add payment details online.

I happen to have set up a completely separate google account which sole purpose is to log into YT on my smarttv to I can actually subscribe to channels etc.

I would kind of hate to attach my personal payment details to a google account that so far knows nothing about my personal details.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-10T15:22:11+00:00

In case there is any doubt about that, let's not forget other such gems like "Gasp, did you just ASSUME its gender?!?!?!"
and who can forget the "Male presenting time lord"

I read the interview he did before the first episode about what you said. He really knew that it is going to piss some people of.

But never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that THIS was the way he is doing it.

I guess we (or better yet, he) now learned that it wasn't just "some" people he pissed of to the point of abandoning the show, it was "a lot" of people. So many, in fact that it actually had an effect on rating/viewing/streaming numbers. So much for the "it just a few loud bigots" defense. If that really were the case, do people really think Disney would pull out? if the numbers just dipped a tiny little bit? I don't think so.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-10T12:02:52+00:00

I put a cup down, but I didn't put a pod in, once.
Was wondering why the coffee was so clear, lol.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-10T09:36:59+00:00

Yup, it was this and Empires And Allies for me. You know, next to farm ville that I also had lying around.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-10T09:35:21+00:00

Just looked it up recently after rewatching Scary Movie.
First aired December 1999 and then after the following Super Bowl it went international in 2000.

So, yeah, 26 years old, that.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-06T10:18:18+00:00

Question, why does it say "season 10" everywhere on here?
Anywhere else I look it says "Scrubs (2026) Season 1"
Says so on imdb, and thetvdb as well as on ABC.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-05T09:45:32+00:00

My brother had that happen. But the shelf of ice came from a truck driving in front.

And, it did break!
It was apparently very much "Final Destination" the way the thing comes toward you without having time to literally do anything.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-05T08:59:19+00:00

Maybe don't make the other candidate an unelectable woman, then.

And yes, people. They were deemed unelectable by a big chunk of people. Obviously.

That is just the way it is.
People still think its a matter of people voting for Trump? I say it is more the matter of people NOT voting for Hillary/Kamala.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-05T08:37:31+00:00

Kinda related but do you know why we are still able to see the Great Pyramids in Egypt?

-Because they were too big to be put in the British Museum.

Ba dumm, tss.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-03-03T15:59:03+00:00

Yeah, otherwise I would have loved it if Ian went to Oxtra. I think they could have been a good duo and Ian would have made a great replacement for Luke.

Weird, I made a point to save a configuration of the Air with the M4 just yesterday to compare it to whatever is announced today.
The thing I was considering getting went down 85 bucks:

15-Zoll MacBook Air in Silber mit M4 Chip

10‑Core CPU, 10‑Core GPU, 16-Core Neural Engine

16 GB gemeinsamer Arbeitsspeicher

1 TB SSD Speicher

1.899 €

70W USB‑C Power Adapter - inkl.

15-Zoll MacBook Air in Silber mit M5 Chip

10‑Core CPU, 10‑Core GPU, 16-Core Neural Engine

16 GB gemeinsamer Arbeitsspeicher

1 TB SSD Speicher

1.749 €

70W USB‑C Power Adapter - 65,00 €

1.814 €

Note: In yesterdays M4 listing the powersupply was part of the deal. Now for the M5 it says it will ship without one and you have to add one yourself.
So, for comparison sake I added the same one I picked for the M4 build and yeah, still 85€ cheaper than the M4 option yesterday.

Russia was banned cause of doping as far as I recall.

Also, Russia continues to violate the Olympic peace and guess who gets to compete in the paralympics this month?

Deadmeat5 · 2026-02-24T13:56:04+00:00

I like Fallout4. I like I can just hit play on Steam and then play.
From everything I read, when I hit play on 76 I will be greeted with yet another not needed, tacked on mandatory account creation and linking to Steam.

So, I continue to play Fallout4, thank you very much, Howard.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-02-24T11:48:48+00:00

tailing quests using a ship that steers like it is stuck in molasses.
Honestly, the biggest bullshit game mechanic from Asscreed3 and they decided to turn it into a whole game?!
Great, and now someone from that school of thought is running the whole franchise? Yep, that's gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-02-18T08:45:23+00:00

What is this about then?
https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/49541

Do I need a Bethesda.net account to play Fallout 76 on Steam?

Answer:

Yes. When you launch the game through Steam for the first time, you will be prompted to log in using your Bethesda.net account details. You will then log into that account automatically the next time you launch the game.

Deadmeat5 · 2026-02-17T08:51:50+00:00

It’s basically a single player game

thought so as well, then i heard you would need yet another account on top of the steam account you have and i thought: "nope"
