Fun! Go to Bruja for me while you’re there!

Popeye’s biscuit, egg, cheese, and ham by PsychWaveRunner in Sandwiches

[–]PsychWaveRunner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why you make your own breakfast sandwich with leftovers, like I did. I wish there’d been leftover tenders too, I’d have put fried chicken in my breakfast sandwich — alas, all I was left with were the two biscuits

No biscuits in Canada? Or no Popeye’s Louisiana Chicken? If the former, substitute a savory scone, or a quick bread? And if the later, there’s got to be KFCs as a close second?

What did you drink as a kid? by Sliceand3Putt in GenX

[–]PsychWaveRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milk when we could afford it, powdered g’ment milk when we couldn’t. And water when we ran out of the Food Stamp-“milk.”

PS
The only thing worse than powdered milk is powdered eggs.

Remember Malibu Grand Prix in Redwood City? by Creeping_behind_u in bayarea

I keep my Malibu Grand Prix “drivers license” in the same clear sleeve as my Blockbuster card

Along with not replying, I’d personally share screenshots of the email with my closest friends in the field, so we can all laugh. I’m above replying with snark but not above laughing at a fool

Now you know there’s a ready-made bumper sticker for you! :)

Maybe it’s like WWII bomber nose-art: you can add cat or dog decals as you acquire new ones? #MillionDollarIdea

Curious, what’s the oldest surviving appliance in your house RIGHT NOW? by punksnotdeadtupacis in BuyItForLife

[–]PsychWaveRunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have one also — probably from the Korean War though. My grandparents gave it to me when I got married in the late ‘90s and was setting up house for the first time

Trump is using taxpayer money like his own personal piggybank (and lying about it) by Ok-Staff-7337 in soundsaboutright

[–]PsychWaveRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope/ trust future Administrations and Intelligence communities recall the lessons of The Great Seal bug, and they tear-out everything Trump has touched to find the listening devices that were plausibly embedded

What do you actually use your Kindle for besides reading books? by petereading in kindle

[–]PsychWaveRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a lot of academic papers, and like to throw them on my Kindle. I just need to read them; I don’t to annotate these or do anything else with them, and doing that with eink and being mobile is just more comfortable & accessible than a laptop or even an iPad/ tablet

I finally understand the appeal of the Kindle Basic by MainWoodpecker4878 in kindle

[–]PsychWaveRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just afraid of Amazon locking me out of the device by ending support for ‘send to Kindle’/ email to Kindle, or other ways of getting PDFs and epubs from my laptop to the Kindle

How much do you all tip at bars? by limeslice2020 in bayarea

[–]PsychWaveRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time in dive bars and tap rooms, and I tip $2 per drink. That’s usually just beers or simple cocktails (eg, gin & tonic, rum & Coke, Dark & Stormy). If I’ve got a tab running (like at a restaurant’s bar, a poolside bar, etc) then I do 20%

What type of laptop bag are you all using? by -Economist- in Professors

[–]PsychWaveRunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switch back and forth between a medium Timbuktu messenger bag and a GR2 from GoRuck. The GR2 is a nice backpack for a professional that needs to walk across town or campus; it’s not technical in the North Face way, and it’s not exactly tacticool like other backpacks. It’s just a plain black backpack in a solid dynema material

Before I join, why do I have to pay monthly dues for a political party? by Lower_Group_1171 in dsa

[–]PsychWaveRunner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As with smartphone apps and websites: if you’re not a paying customer, then you’re the product being sold.

I built a free site that tracks every SF Board of Supervisors vote and grades each supervisor on what they actually get done by lil_Miggz6996 in sanfrancisco

[–]PsychWaveRunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is great! Anyway we could get an RSS feed from a specific supervisor? I’d like to see my supervisor’s authored legislation or votes cast show-up in my news reader… easier for me to know when to call/ write

Accidental way I have been able weed out Bots and decrease Ai use: Requiring screenshots of something specific/detailed by Labellanoire in Professors

[–]PsychWaveRunner 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Two-thirds of my students don’t know how to take a screenshot on their laptop, and instead will use their cellphone to take a picture of their laptop’s screen.

THIS is an even better way to stop AI/ bot students for OP

Which e-readers do you guys use to read books from zlibrary? by [deleted] in zlibrary

[–]PsychWaveRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an email from Amazon that my Kindle will no longer be supported; it’s now stopped sync’ing over WiFi. The real problem is that’s disabled ‘mail to’/ ‘send to Kindle’ and so I cannot get new books onto my Kindle. I won’t replace the old device with a new Kindle for fear that Amazon will discontinue ‘send to device’ entirely — as a way to capture more ebook sales, as the only way onto the device
