Not all heroes wear capes, thank you.

Look at these weak children these days, with their molded plastic dizzy spinners with built in seating so you don't fly off. Back in my day you had a round piece of steel with some bent pipes to hold onto in the feeble attempt not get thrown across the playground into a railroad tie that's holding back the splinter filled wood chips. Oh yeah and the lead paint was flaking off the whole time..... come to think about it, I think our parks department sucks.

You can set it up to auto delete, but that's not the default. Either way agreed, it's a major failing in this purpose.

The playground Mafia, you stop cutting into my business or your going to have an extra long nap time. Capiche?

Eh, I couldn't think of a better word so I just went with it.

My mom put herself through nursing school by working at a nursing home. Once I was an adult she opened up about some of the stuff she saw, she said there was so much sex that they joked about installing a hose in the hall so they could separate patients when they caught them. When I asked her why they didn't just look the other way and let them have their fun she said they actually did but the administrator was a hardcore Catholic and told them they were to separate them as soon as they were caught.

One way is to be me and have a nursing instructor for a mother. She had multiple stethoscopes and just gave me one to play with as a kid.

Also I've never been in a doctor's office where they left a stethoscope laying around, they always bring theirs in with them.

I get what you're saying but as a counterpoint I charge exclusively via wireless and my last phone lasted 4 1/2 years. The only reason I replaced it was my friends kid was playing a game on my phone and dropped and it got damaged. It was running just fine right up to the end.

Maybe it's because I only use low power wireless chargers, or maybe it's something with Samsung's wireless charging controller. Who knows.

2001, Dre's album drops, nobody has it yet. In walks the kid who has a T1 line and a 5 disc CD copier with a spindle of discs. He sits down in homeroom, puts the spindle on his desk and says Dre's new album five bucks right here.

He sold out before the end of the day, made a good amount of cash, and was racking it in for months getting people albums that they requested because none of us could get it work with our slow connection. Of course when the two competing ISPs upgraded their networks later that year, he lost the majority of his business, but for a few months he was our pirate savior.

I use a knock off ergonomic keyboard from adesso. 60% of the time, it works every time.

You can still get them on Amazon for like $40 if you ever decide you want to relive the split key glory days.

I'm sure the doge boys are expert grock vibe coders, it will be fine, they've got big ballz on the team, what could possibly go wrong? /s

 

I run 4 subs on reddit, I got curious since I haven't seen any activity on my main sub. All 4 have been set to private. 3 of them are dead and I don't really care, but one is used to promote my blog so I flipped it back to public and saved the settings. When I went back and checked, it was private again.

I guess I'm being shadow banned, oh well no reason to post there again. I'll just have to set up a sub on Lemmy and move on with my life. Just curious, any other reddit mods seeing this?
