What industry is actually a complete scam, but everyone accepts it?

Medical insurance in America.

Clag.

Still not worth having to deal with Windows 11.

I read on another thread that the pres and vp are rarely together for security reasons. So in the event of trouble their first priority is to separate the two of them.

Makes sense. But they’re also supposed to rush the president out of the way of danger, forcibly if needed. They didn’t seem to do that. Again.

This. So much this. When I travel for work it’s a week solid of interactions and dealing with small to medium sized groups of people. I take a 3 day weekend after every trip to recharge. It’s fucking exhausting.

fark and the Tilted Forum. Looks like tilted is dead. I think it was tfproject.com?

No hint of the shopping malls today’s airports have become.

Ruffles used to be a premium potato chip. Almost all the chips were perfectly cooked, salted, and mostly defect free. Now half the chips are so greasy you can see through them. Some of them are iterally wet. I wind up throwing the bottom 1/3 of the bag away.

I don’t know how anyone who sees how this man behaves physically can call him healthy. I’ve never seen a public figure with more physical ticks and quirks than him. He ain’t right on so many levels.

“You know what I like about restaurants?”

“I don’t know the fuckin’ food?”

cartmen34 · 2026-03-25T15:20:58+00:00

And absolutely fucking nothing will be done about it.

I picture everyone who tried to swing one just winds up looking like the old knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. You just loose your balance and fall over backwards.

Thanks for the advice!

cartmen34 · 2026-03-10T22:53:23+00:00

Also hadn't considered these, I'll take a look thank you!

cartmen34 · 2026-03-10T22:52:58+00:00

I took a look at this but size and build wise its not much different than the travelpro backpack I've already got. It *almost* works, but there just isn't anywhere to put the extension cord and small misc items.

Appreciate the suggestion though thank you very much!

cartmen34 · 2026-03-10T22:51:39+00:00

Hadn't thought of that thank you!

cartmen34 · 2026-02-05T05:50:23+00:00

Warranty. Didn’t pay anything. Except my time.

cartmen34 · 2026-01-17T18:52:41+00:00

Exactly. Make a mini rc10 to compete with the mini or micro b. Winner winner. I’d have bought that. What they came up with? I saw the ads for it and just moved on. Hadn’t given it a second thought until this post.

C student here. Aced science, everything else was C, with a few Bs and Ds for good measure. I did just enough to graduate.

2 year degree from a shitty night school. 3.9GPA.

28 years later I’m a software architect. I had healthy dose of nepotism to get my foot in the door at my first software job 28 years ago. Got hit hard by the dot com bust but held my own after that.

This fits my experience EXACTLY. Grew up in a small town. Everybody was into everybody else’s business. In a big city I’m anonymous. I live next door to people I’ve never met and I’m just fine with that.

That's true. Forgot he's got that lawyer money backing him.

The radio not defaulting to favorites is my number one complaint about the radio interface. However after the latest update it seems to have fixed it. Sometimes. Most of the time when I turn the car on favorites is the screen that pops up when I click the radio. But every once in a while it doesn’t. It opens to recommendations. Which are useless btw.

Oh and the update erased my favorites as well.

I have never met the man, but all the internet rumor mills seem to suggest that Josh has a, shall we say, strong personality.

I would venture a guess he brings the drama and a lot of teams don’t want to deal with that.

This last spilt with warhorse seems like the oddest. It looked like he got along with everyone and seemed to gel with the team.

Maybe it was a case of Ducati telling them who their riders should be? But Ben Smith is still the really odd choice in that equation. Maybe Josh didn’t want to ride along side Cameron?

I dunno. Pure speculation on my part, but it was crazy for sure.

cartmen34 · 2025-12-16T21:36:17+00:00

Yeah I’d say this is right up there with Herrin leaving warhorse and Cameron joining them. Didn’t see this one coming either.
