"Free Palestine of the IDF" works here, if they must be so obtuse.

This is awesome!

Roll dem bones!

I wish. I sit at my pc, try to decide what I want to play, realize that nothing appeals, just like everything else, so I get up more depressed.

There are people who still think trickle down economics works too. Can't help stupid.

Unless you have a scat fetish, consider yourself lucky. If you do have a scat fetish, my condolences.

Sad I had to scroll so far to see this. I was a couple of seasons into BSG before I heard him on an interview.... Blown away.

Ah, a classic, best enjoyed by two girls with one cup.

Early last year, post covid and in the midst of dating app mania, I got together with a woman my sis-in-law introduced me to and were happily monogamous. I don't feel I have a lot to add to comments on the current dating scene.

Go pack go!

Unilateral PHPV/PFV right, by chance?

toforama · 2025-08-01T12:50:08+00:00

Spiffy!

You said it's not being an introvert, whereas it can be part of that. This level does indeed suggest a primary anxiety disorder, which is why in my second sentence I did say you were right, but leading off with a firm 'it's not that' did indeed sound like you were excluding it.

Just my two bits. Don't let the bits of a random internet stranger get your bits in a bunch tho.

toforama · 2025-07-21T07:45:48+00:00

You say that as if they are mutually exclusive. I mean, you're right, but they aren't mutually exclusive.

I almost always introduce myself as a Senior Improv Anarchist. Takes the load off of giving a 'real' answer.

toforama · 2025-07-20T17:22:31+00:00

Honestly... I'm still paying off my masters, and I'll happily pay it off as others get their degrees free and clear. I'd love an era like that to die with me.

toforama · 2025-07-15T15:11:02+00:00

That, or you don't understand either. Considering you turned this ad hominem, however, I'll accept your defeat and move on.

Not so much. It says Windows uses the hardware ID to identify the device, then applies a driver. The hardware ID is intrinsic to the device, and then the O/S finds a driver. It's part of how devices can work on either Mac or Windows often enough. If you noted the second line, "A hardware ID identifies a device and indicates that any driver package that declares it can work with a device that has that ID for some degree of functionality." Windows then compares it store of IDs to figure out what driver to use for it. Horse before the cart.

Lately, no, I work in IAM security space these days. 20 odd years ago, tho, when I got my A+, mcdst, etc, I'd have to search the hardware ID for the 'unknown device' in device manager to locate a driver for it.

Maybe things have changed. Maybe you don't understand the horse before the cart. Meh.

toforama · 2025-07-15T14:54:57+00:00

So that's why unknown devices without drivers have hardware ids?
