Yep. Use a rubber band in the screw when trying to unscrew it to help with a bit extra grip and then never use those screws again either. Either that or use a Dremel to turn it into a flat head screw and remove them.

It all depends on how you state it. I’ve never been called an incel when talking to grown-ass adults about these issues, but I also don’t have to turn to misogyny in doing so. (Not saying this is how you do it, it’s just a generality, and I’ve seen it a sickening amount of times online) That toxic masculinity really shines through when I see men posting online talking about double standards because the focus is on blame. Make it a positive discussion about how you’d like things to be rather than hate towards those holding you back.

Right?! I totally understand that. The place I worked at was a diner, and weekend breakfast rush was always insane. Would go through hundreds of eggs in a single shift to the point the grill would actually cool off if we went through them too fast. We’d always get a few stacks out and ready for whoever was on the grill, because that was the one position that you had no time to do anything except attend to what’s in front of you. But if we went to fast, we’d be using eggs that came straight from the fridge. I loved being on egg grill duty because I had only one job, no other responsibilities, people brought things to you, and I was damn good at it.

As a teen, I worked at a restaurant as a cook. The pay was terrible, the hours were unforgiving, the amount of cuts, bruises, and burns I got deserved hazard pay, and my coworkers were overly dramatic backstabbers. Liked the cooking and getting through a huge rush of customers, loved that when I left for the day my responsibilities and thoughts about work were behind me.

Knowing a timer is almost ready to go off.

I have this stupid sense to know that any timers I set (for cooking mostly, but other tasks around the house too) are very close to going off. Without watching the time when I set them with Alexa, if I ask how much time is left, it generally is always < 10 sec left. If it happened somewhat often, that’d be over thing, but this happens like 80% of the time.

I’ve even had 12h timers (slow cooking, etc) where I’ve checked once the entire time and it was within 10 to 30 sec remaining.

Nothing to do with my time management skills though, because I’m still late to all events. Whoops.

I did see that, and it doesn’t ruin my day because as of right now everything is encrypted without any backdoors to it, but yes I’m absolutely keeping an eye on it. When I saw that headline though I was pissed. Problem is I also don’t know of any other good, safe options currently.

Thank you, I definitely looked at this sideways for a second until I realized what they meant and you confirmed my thoughts. Yeah I’m happy that my main email is now Proton, and I’m slowly moving accounts over.

Lol I’m looking at my new 9800X3D + ASRock build right now. So far so good???

Same. Honestly kinda forgot I hadn’t done so already.

Also it’s rare that a classroom would have a no watches rule.

Right, the “they” I’m talking about is the commenter two up from my original comment. I understand what the article is talking about, but the commenter I replied to misunderstood that “car’s mic” wasn’t referencing a peripheral device rather than the factory mic in any car that has Bluetooth.

They said your car’s mic, not the Google one. The car’s mic generally is on the driver’s side and the Google one is better for use with passengers because it’s centrally located.

Thank you, I’ve been using my own docker image that adds in the PIA scripts and creates a Dante SOCKS5 server which works decently but I’d like something a bit more provider agnostic in case I want to change.

Have you ever considered it’s not propaganda and just people wanting to feel comfortable in their own skin? Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong. Identifying itself as anything, including cis is just called “living”.

If colors can disgust you this much, you’re the problem. People who identify as LGBTQIA+ live their lives by that same identity 12 months out of the year, not when it’s convenient for bigots and corporations.

Oh man, this was stuck in my head for weeks after watching the Bryan Cranston movie The Infiltrator. Perfect fit.

Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.

Oh fuck, I replaced you…

To each their own. I get the need to have historical chat and all, and I run a Mattermost server for friends for the last few years and I depend on history there too. But on Signal it’s really just what I use with work peeps for after hours non-Teams IT chat in case something breaks and they needs emergency help since we all basically mute notifications for Teams after work.

Correct, it will only have all future messages. Nothing historic. But it should sync literally everything going forward.
