59 years old today and still in denial.

From Atari’s Combat, through Tribes, and now Helldivers, the gaming goes on. There may come a day when I put away my mouse and controller …

BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

I wish I could afford red meat…

Take a page from Ukraine. Drones can drop all kinds of interesting things.

Well, all the Nestle stuff gets sent back to them. Pretty much all the big name cereal outfits have orders that damaged products are to be sent to a salvage company.

Happily most cheese and sliced meats can be donated, plus we generally send 8-10 shopping carts of baked goods and produce directly from us to them every day

I’m one of the returns clerks in a Costco. First thing we do every morning is process stuff to send the food bank. It irks me how much stuff we aren’t allowed to send because the manufacturer won’t allow it. Even despite that we send a lot every day. Everything that does spoil at the food bank goes to a local pig farm, who donates pig products back to the food bank whenever he can.

I debated how to reply to you for probably too long. The best reply I could think of, is the following:

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

No, a man with the right to be innocent until proven guilty is being presumed guilty before due process can be done.

There is a difference

Possibly/Probably but as I said. Right now win 10 runs all my productivity, gaming and streaming software such as OBS and Veadotube.

They run and run well. I have literally no incentive to switch to either a Linux distro or win11. If that changes, then I’ll consider changing my OS, but until then…why would anyone?

I have no plans to either update to win11 or change back to chanting magic spells at my computer to get it to work (Ubuntu, many years ago).

My computer works and does everything I want it to. Basic internet security and reasonable precautions are sufficient for a low level user like me to stay safe.

Well tbh, I’m still working out how a lot of this federated thing works and this was my gateway to Lemmy after the Redditpocalypse

I was the buddy hanging on for dear life. The driver was a good friend, but a horrific driver. He almost got the title. Both times, cause they invited him back for the Worst Ever season

I was on a show called Canada’s Worst Driver. Hence my username

We don’'t check there, as we can literally look up into the rafters. But we do have the tools to physically check if we need to.

Costco evening employee here:

Yeah, we check those at closing time. As well as behind the mattresses, the bathrooms and anywhere else someone might reasonably hide. There are generally people stocking stuff for 3-4 hours after the store closes and from 5 hours before the store opens in the morning.

There’s a small window when the place is completely empty, but it’s only from about midnight to 4am.

Used Ubuntu Linux for a year back around '08-'09. Didn’t have a great experience and went back to Windows. Since then I’ve never had a reason to try it again. That said, I’ve nothing but respect for those that use a flavour of Linux or Mac OS. At the end of the day doing the things you need done is what matters and if a different OS than mine gets you there, that’s awesome.
