You could do what my dad did and accidently delete some of the system files, leaving it for your kid to fix.

The reason I want my children to have access to a computer specifically, is that while TVs and phones are used to consume, computers are used to create.

Joking aside, that’s an interesting perspective. I hadnt really thought of it that way before, despite using a computer to create things almost every day.

It really used to piss me off when the older techs would make me crawl around in nasty crawlspaces while they stood around and smoked cigarettes.

I get not wanting to be there but I’m not not about to leave some poor kid who doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing fumbling around in the dark by himself for half the day.

Sometimes I think I should have stayed in the trades. Then I remember having to tear hundreds of HVAC smoke dampers out of a new building and replace them with fire and smoke dampers because the boss decided he was just going to whatever instead of what the blueprints called for.

Then I’m good for a while.

I’ve seen plenty of back ends that needed to be destroyed.

He’s just mad that John Tyson hasn’t shown up at the White House with a box of steaks yet.

Trinkets and a little ass kissing are all it takes to passify the toddler in chief.

Imagine being a white Evangelical in Texas of all places and somehow believing that YOU are the one being “discriminated” against.

Orthodox Jesus is willing to overlook the sixth commandment as long as the person you’re murdering is Ukranian.

My oldest is a senior in highschool. From what I have observed, appearance – especially for teenage girls – is less about self expression and more about seeking approval from other girls. Clothing is entirely a status symbol.

There’s often a few girls who are the “trend setters”, a much larger group of “followers” that basically look like carbon copies of one another, and yet another group that doesn’t follow the latest “trend” because they either can’t afford to or (much less often) don’t care.

My daughter is obsessed with looks, as are most of her peers. Trying desperately to fit in because she’s not yet mature enough to realize that it doesn’t matter if all the other girls “like” her. It only really matters if she likes herself.

I’ve told her, only half joking, that she will know a guy is good boyfriend material when he asks her which books she’s read lately.

A long time ago, for whatever reason, I decided to do a port scan on my entire WAN subnet. That’s how I discovered that a certain brand of DSL modem (I don’t recall which) made the admin portal accessible from the WAN. And of course the credentials were admin/admin.

I think most hardware providers do better now but it was just mind boggling to me that it even happened in the first place.

Not going to lie, It took me a second.

With TP-Link, I would say the bigger concern is that they are reeaaaalllyyy slow to patch vulnerabilities, if they do it at all.

I’m the older brother and have two younger siblings. I love both of them. Even when they piss me off, which fortunately is pretty rare. I have a much closer relationship with my youngest brother. Something that I didn’t realize growing up is that your younger siblings kind of look up to you, even if they don’t know how to say that. If I had known that I probably would have been a little nicer to them.

As an adult, I try to make sure they know they can come to me if they need help. Sometimes I need help too and I know I can lean on them for support.

But, there are lots of people who don’t get along with their siblings for one reason or another. If your brother is unhappy, that’s not your fault. If he’s throwing away an opportunity to have a good relationship with you, then he’s a fool.

Love, not blood, is the thing that makes families and holds them together.

🎶Baddum. Ts.🎶

I would not buy them here or there. I would not buy them anywhere. I do not like appliances with ads. I do not like them Sam-I-Am.

If you’re leading an organization that somehow managed to “overhire” 30k employees, then the first person to hit the bricks should be you because you really suck at your job.

Mavis Beacon: “Am I a joke to you?”

Mine don’t make me feel happy. They just make me feel not depressed and kind of “blah”.

It’s not great but it’s better than feeling depressed all the time.

Lol I know. Years ago when TBS aired the movie, they changed the phrase to “Yippee Ki-Yay Mister Falcon.”

I still think is hilariously dumb.
