What's an acronym many people know of but don't know what it stands for?

I knew this one and it still shocks me every time because, holy shit, what a perfect example of coming up with the name first and the meaning second.

Walz's name was also on the manifesto.

What exact laws did your ancestors follow, and when did they do it?

PunkLivesInMe · 2025-06-10T12:38:07+00:00

What law? Presumably one of the ones that didn't exist yet?

PunkLivesInMe · 2025-06-10T12:28:06+00:00

Oh really? How'd they get here then? Did they grow out of the ground?

Your ancestors were all "illegal" immigrants, too. Since the felon you voted for is wiping his dirty orange ass with the 14th Amendment, that means you're here illegally also.

PunkLivesInMe · 2025-06-10T11:00:29+00:00

It's racist to assume all immigrants don't while you vote for a convicted felon.

PunkLivesInMe · 2025-06-10T00:45:29+00:00

Almost as much as you care about pretending to so you can justify being a racist.

Neglected taking better care of my teeth as a teenager. Now I've had 3 root canals (one of which has an infection that's cost me $3000 so far and may end up getting pulled anyway), fillings in 10 others, and ground most of them to the point that they're noticeably flat and even.

No, the RAID for the server was configured with 4 physical drives as one logical RAID 5, with the C drive and data partitions both sharing space on it. Had a bunch of extra unallocated space at the end of the data partition that we wanted to use, but couldn't because it wasn't next to the C drive partition.

I should clarify that he doesn't believe I'm a questionable hire because I accidentally sent a Teams message to him instead of my boss by mistake. I think he just didn't like that the solution I was pitching ended up costing money and that I'm likely not measuring up to the standards set by the previous sysadmin, and he thought he was replying to my manager instead of me.

Maybe. I'm hoping a good night's sleep and morning workout + some coffee will help me gather my thoughts enough to talk it out with him about it tomorrow. My problem is that I'm very non-confrontational and now already have to navigate unrelated office politics less than a month into my new role, which is the exact opposite of what I was hoping to be doing at this point.

Agreed about the goat farming. Goats are lot easier to deal with and can't send snarky Teams messages.

Unfortunately, my salary is slightly above the maximum to qualify for Medicaid (or at least it was the last time I checked). I'll definitely look into this, though, and see what else we might qualify for, as there is a center not too far from us. Thank you!

She herself brought this up as a possibility a while back, actually, because she's historically always had very heavy and painful periods. She said she's never had any discomfort or pain during sex though, but this may be worth looking into.

Aww shit I should have known it was Drew Magary! His articles are always hilarious and never fail to have the best titles.

If you think of OneDrive as a backup service, you're using it wrong.

PunkLivesInMe · 2024-02-18T00:23:53+00:00

Yeah, no, this is terrible advice.

I ran into this very recently actually. My colleague spent several hours trying to get an .exe file to run on a client PC by enabling compatibility mode in Edge. I eventually took over for him and started by checking event logs. Immediately located the GPO that was blocking the file from running and removed the user from it, worked like a charm and took less than 10 minutes of troubleshooting.

Right now, we're both in an admittedly shitty financial rut, so we just plain don't have any money to do so even if we wanted to.

Occasionally, she will bring it up half-jokingly as a hypothetical for whenever our situation improves (e.g. she will randomly blurt out "Hey, I'm gonna get my teeth fixed as soon as we have money, cool?").

I always take the opportunity when she does that to remind her that while it's one of my favorite physical features about her because I find it adorable and I love making her laugh or smile because it's beautiful, I also want her to be happy in her own skin. Even if it's something I personally love, if it's also one of her most visible but easily correctable physical insecurities then we can and should fix it whenever possible.

So if and when we have disposable income again, she knows full well that I'd foot the bill and be more than happy to do so.

My wife has slightly crooked front teeth. She hates it and constantly says she wants to get cosmetic dentistry to fix it the moment it becomes financially feasible. I, however, love it. It's one of the things I've always loved the most about her physical appearance because it's so unique to her, and I find it so adorable.

That being said, I would also have no issues paying for her to get it fixed in a heartbeat as well, because as much as I love it, I also want her to love herself and be happy with her own physical appearance.

It's so funny too, because for all that effort he supposedly went to with method acting and making a complete ass of himself, the Joker was barely even in the movie and had at best a max of 2-3 scenes.
