Yeah, the “Boys” are 7 and 9 pounds, and my little lady is 11.

That’s a fair assessment. I can’t be around the bunnies all the time to train them. I’d send picture of my buns, but my partner has asked me to keep them off socials. They are two big red New Zealand mixes, and the third bun is a New Zealand/Flemish mix.
That’s sweet. I’ve got 2 farm rescues that I “acquired” in a marriage, and 1 shelter rescue. Poor shelter bun had been there for 2 years.
Unfortunately, I can’t free-roam the bunnies. I’m actually allergic to them, so they have to be contained in a room to reduce dander in the house, but they have big x-pens instead of cages, and we let them out one at a time for about a half hour each night.
That’s fricken adorable. I have 3 right now and they ignore about 12 different commands.
My bunnies disagree with you.
IT
Scripting menial tasks isn’t that hard. You can learn basic shit pretty easy. It’s a nice little dopamine hit when you get even something small that works. Make your computer work for you, not against you.
Also, Excel. If you have to use Excel at all in your job, learn the basics of formulas, formatting, and tables. It will take you maybe a day, and your excel shit will look 100x nicer, and work 100x better than whatever the fuck you are doing now.
Somebody didn’t live though the “Morrowind on Xbox” era where “creativity” meant intentionally freezing the loading screen and rebooting your system in order to save a few KB of RAM so the cell would load.
But also having no automatic corpse cleanup, so the game would eventually become unplayable as entities died outside of your playable area, so you couldn’t remove them from the game, creating huge bloat in your save file.
Not all creativity is good creativity.
That’s basically what Apple carplay and Android Auto do. However, it’s nice to have independent audio settings (like fader, EQ, and balance) for the car. Big ol’ GPS/map is nice too. Bluetooth controls for multiple devices. Fuel Economy and car management applications, radio… All things that I enjoy in the car that a simple phone dock would not replicate.
I wasn’t big on the backup camera at first, but having it in conjunction with a mirror really helps when parking in tight spaces, or backing out of a parking space. I use it probably 95% of the time when backing up.
Also, it doesn’t really hurt anything to have the backup cam if you’ve already got an infotainment system in the car. You’re not losing or compromising anything to have it, and it’s not going to affect your operation of the vehicle if it turns on unintentionally.
Everybody in the line is part of the problem. If you aren’t passing, move right. You should be checking every 30 seconds or so. Am I passing or going to pass someone in the next minute? No? Move right. Only times I’d consider an exception is if there was an on-ramp lane merging down, or an exit ramp coming up, or if you need the left lane for a turn (and you better have your fucking signal on)
If you get passed on the right, and there is no room to your left, you’ve created a dangerous situation and you need to move fucking right ASAP.
I think we need a car that “weeds out” all the shitty tech that has been integrated and comes “standard” now.
Let’s take my partner’s 2021 Honda Civic for example.
Lane Keep Assist (LKAS) - it’s garbage. The car does not recognize construction zones, and it will actively fight you if you are in those zones, or if you have to make an emergency lane change without signaling, like if a deer, or child runs in front of your car. We turned this feature off.
Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) - This system legit tries to wreck the car. We’ve had it flag and even slam the brakes dozens of times in non-emergency scenarios. It was so bad we took it back to the dealer to have the software updated (which changed nothing) and considered returning the car. The system has to be manually disabled every time we drive the car, we cannot permanently disable it. Slamming your brakes at highway speeds when someone makes a close merge is a real good way to wreck your car and the 6 or so behind you. The risk of causing 12+ accidents to avoid or mitigate 0 is not worthwhile, and it needs to go.
Adaptive Cruise Control - A great way to make idiots fall asleep, and causes left lane lollygagging. I tried using adaptive cruise control for a few long trips, and what I noticed is that there are long lines of cars driving 4 under where they are all using ACC. When the car automatically adjusts it’s speed, you lose feedback on the speed you are actually going, because you never get into that “decision zone” behind a car where you either slow down, or pass the other car. It also makes people feel more confident to let the car drive, so they’ll fuck around on their phones. Get rid of it, you’ll get where you’re going faster and safer if you do.
Auto Dimming Headlights - Turns on by accident all the time, and very hard to turn off. Works ~50% of the time. Could be good, but really sucks right now.
Here are some features that rock, and should stay in.
Keyless entry
Remote start and push button start
Apple / Android phone integration
Brake hold
Backup camera
Thanks for attending my rant.
For all the people in here down about their favorite creators, I’d humbly like to ask you to check out NKFHerping. Channel is basically Steven Irwin re-incarnated as some dude from Georgia flipping over trash and finding snakes and turtles.
Hopefully this makes your day better.
Did the YouTuber regress, or did you outgrow the content? CB always took shots at the low prod values and laziness of his videos.
Nuh uh, it was a body double clone that he operated remotely, and JFK accidentally hit the contingency plan button, detonating a small explosive charge in the skull.
Just charge it and use it. Recharging and discharging the battery shortens the life of the battery. In an ideal world, you would charge the laptop battery to 50% and then never charge or use it again, but that’s makes your battery fucking useless.
So use your laptop. My advice is to keep it plugged in as much as possible. Most laptops (even 10 years ago) can run directly off the wall power, which stops the battery from degrading (as fast) as older laptops where they were constantly powered by the battery, and the charger just kept it topped off.
Most of the battery advice you hear is just voodoo bullshit, or it makes a very small difference in the overall life of the battery. Just use your computer like normal.
Yeah. Also, clearly doesn’t understand what is going on (TBF, I don’t know shit about Canadian politics either), but the stupid violent people with guns will be overjoyed if trump is the president.
Someone tried to mug me when I was walking back to my dorm room.
If someone you’re with has a phone on them, even if it’s off, you’re probably being tracked.
…said the subjects go beyond what the state requires to teach and creates “a perception that humans are bad”.
What are the chances this person subscribes to a religious belief that has original sin as a core component?
Stop, you’re scaring me.
