Who fucking cares at this point? Trump has done so much worse things by now. He can’t legally be president for a third term, so it’s not like it’s gonna impact his re-election. Most of the world already hates the man and think he is vile and disgusting. What is one pee tape going to change.
The pee tape could release today and be barely in the current news cycle. One camp will say “This just confirmed what we already knew”, the other camp will say “Fake news”. And tomorrow it will be forgotten.
No, it has to be something way worse than a simple pee video.
Thanks for the suggestion. It’s my laptop from work, I have zero say in what software it runs, I don’t even have admin rights on it. None of my personal stuff runs Windows. But it might help other people on their own machines.
Not true actually, there are many hotels with excellent food. There is a hotel not far from me where a lot of people go to their restaurant even if they aren’t staying at the hotel, it’s just a really good restaurant in it’s own right.
I’ve also been on holiday where we had excellent breakfast options in the hotel, even the ones included were very good. You just need to check for those when selecting a hotel. I’ve definitely had worse meal in some restaurants than I’ve had in some hotels, there’s plenty of overlap there.
Please let them also remove all the XBox nonsense. The other day my laptop from work that runs Windows 11 Pro gave a big ass prompt if I didn’t want to try XBox Game Pass with the new Doom game. It’s basically an ad for games on a Pro machine, ridiculous.
Please note the 6 ohm value printed is the impedance, not the resistance. However measuring the resistance can still be useful, if it measures open circuit or extremely low it can indicate an issue. Just don’t expect it to be exactly the same as the impedance.
I assume it’s to handle DDOS attacks? If somebody has beef with your instance, it would be very easy to bring it down for an extended period of time without some kind of protection in front.
It’s kind of like a fire extinguisher, everything is fine without it, right up to the point it isn’t.
The evidence is he only did his daily briefing around 12 times during his 100ish days in office. Saved you a click.
I don’t know why news must be this way. Just state the thing, don’t dance around the subject and waste my time. Oh wait no I do, it’s fucking capitalism.
How are you going to play that guitar Egg? You’re a fucking egg. Did your inside get scrambled? You ain’t got no bloody arms man!
I remember when I was 15 living at my father at the time and my girlfriend was visiting for the weekend. I had to work on Saturday, but she wanted to stay over the entire weekend and would find something to do whilst I was gone. I told her to be free to use my computer.
We also had a couple of cats and one of them would always hang out in my room. Now this wasn’t your regular cat, this was a big boy. Not fat, just a huge bundle of muscles, big claws and huge teeth. We’re talking dog sized cat here. He was very sweet, but could be a bit playful and use his claws and teeth whilst playing. He was very careful with humans and tried to be gentle, but it could be intimidating for people who didn’t know him.
When I got home I found the cat sleeping on my desk and my girlfriend on my bed reading a book. I asked her how her day went, she pointed to the cat and said: “I wanted to use the computer, but that asshole over there didn’t let me.” Apparently what happened was the cat lay down in front of the keyboard, easily blocking the whole thing. And every time she wanted to type he would try to grab her hand and play with her. Being so large, she got scared of him and just didn’t use the computer. The cat declared victory and slept in front of the keyboard to celebrate, thus blocking the computer all day.
After she got to know him better, they got along just fine. He was such a sweet boy and never hurt anyone on purpose. You did need to be careful giving hem treats tho, T-Rex chomping off a hand comes to mind with that one.
They should have black flagged him and given out the penalty points. If Max wants to play bumper cars, he can go do that instead of F1.
I ride my bicycle to work, so on average I eat at least one decent sized bug each week.
Ah you are from the US? No then it probably won’t be available. The US is very slow to make changes in retail. You only recently got those digital price tags that update constantly, we’ve had those for 10 years or so. In Europe the hand scanner or app self scan thing is very common.
Yup, that’s the one.
I think where I live it’s a company that offers the whole thing white label to supermarket and other shops. The systems are very similar across a bunch of different stores, but the branding is specific to the store. So their logo, their colors. Not just on all the UIs (both the scanner and the checkout), but also the physical hardware colors.
The hand scanners all run Android, the other day I got one that said Google Play Services had crashed. The scanner itself is probably made by Zebra and then customized by the company providing the scan and checkout solution.
It has become super common around here, to the point where I’m annoyed when it isn’t an option and I have to use the self-checkout where you need to scan at the checkout.
No, the hand scanners aren’t connected to the kiosks. They are at the entrance, you pick them up, scan all you want to buy. Then at checkout you place the scanner into a kiosk, it knows what you bought and you can checkout as usual. Every once in a while a store employee takes the scanners and puts them into the holders in the entrance. Depending on the size of the store there can be up to a hundred of these scanners available.
Other stores do the same, except your phone is the scanner with an app you can download. It works basically the same way. Most stores that offer the app also offer the hand scanners, which I prefer.
For me personally, the self checkout is just a way better solution to the problem. It’s for me much faster and more efficient. It’s also easier for the store itself. The best kind of self checkout for me is where you can scan everything with a hand scanner or app whilst shopping. Then just pay at the self checkout and walk out. That way I just put the stuff in my bag directly, instead of from the shelf into the basket or cart. Then from the cart to the checkout and then from the checkout into my bag. It also spreads out the action of scanning the products, which means avoiding a slow and repetitive task scanning it all in 1 go. I’m also not blocking a checkout whilst scanning. I hate it when stores that offer the hand scanner have people scanning a whole cart full of stuff at the checkout. And then bagging it of course, which blocks a checkout for ages. Just go to the regular checkout if you want to do that, the cashier is faster than you are and you can focus on bagging exclusively.
However the lack of human contact is an issue. I’ve seen a lot of stores that offer self checkout recently make one or two lines available for chatting. It’s just the regular oldskool cashier, but they are relaxed about it and chat with the customer. This means people in a hurry or that don’t need contact right then can go fast through the self checkout. And people who like to chat can use the chatty checkout with a good old human being.
This for me is the best way to apply new tech, all of the benefits for all parties involved and hopefully none of the downsides.
In trouble shooting it always important to answer at least these questions when asking for help:
This will help other people help you quickly and efficiently. This will greatly improve your chance of other people being able to help you, or you being able to help yourself.
I’ve always thought it to be important my partner comes first, I come second or not at all and that’s just fine with me.
I got your mom off last night
