Glad I could help 🤝

Most thermal paper isn’t recyclable though, the chemicals that allow the heat to print onto them can’t be easily recycled. A simple Brother laser printer would be a better option for most people if they’re just printing black text

I snapped this at a local station in MA this morning, luckily it’s for my work truck so I’m not paying for a truck getting probably 8mpg filled twice a week

Ah yeah I remember that from when I lived there, got local wine once and never again. I thought you were gonna say they had a recall for making people sick or something lol

We didn’t really do any drinking while we were there, what’s wrong with their wines?

Lots of the “worlds largest” attractions in America are made to gain tourist attention, like the worlds largest picnic basket, pistachio, etc. They’re usually in areas people wouldn’t normally go. This one is at PistachioLand, which is a large pistachio farm near White Sands National Park, so it’s not necessarily in the middle of nowhere (but maybe a little). They do make a lot of really good pistachio based snacks. Different flavor roasted nuts, pistachio ice cream, red and green chili based foods like jerky or jams. It’s definitely a tourist trap but the nuts they make are good, local and not from Wonderful Pistachios which has terrible quality control and less flavor options.

If anyone here ever heads down to see White Sands, definitely try the garlic or green chili roasted pistachios there.

I generally don’t take a lot of photos besides things I need to grab at the store, so he’s the worlds largest pistachio in Alamogordo, NM from when my wife and I went down there to visit friends and sight see in January.

“…and just works without any fuss”

Unless you bought an Xbox One/Xbox One X and found out the software was total shit and you can find yourself forcing system software repairs and having video cut out issues on the One X. The amount of times I had to download a repair tool to a flashdrive for the Xbone is embarrassing even for Microslop.

Otherwise your statement is correct

The stupidity of the general public. Most people couldn’t be as stupid as some of the people I deal with if they tried.

Some examples;

No, you will not receive mail anymore if you haven’t picked up your mail in almost 2 years, it doesn’t matter if it’s important, you’ve lost that privilege over a year ago. Get a PO box.

Yes, you are required to pick up all your mail, whether you want the junk mail or not. You cannot pick and choose what you pick up. Empty it all from your box or you won’t get any.

Yes, you are required to use your apartment number on ALL your mail. Insufficient addresses don’t get delivered, especially in an apartment complex. I don’t give a shit if Amazon delivers without an apartment number, we’re not Amazon. If you don’t know where you live how can I?

You haven’t received mail in 3 weeks because you’ve had your car in front of your box for 3 weeks, move your car if you want mail.

No, writing a note to your mailman saying not to deliver mail for “current resident” and saying “NO JUNK MAIL” doesn’t work. You ARE the current resident, and again, you do not get to choose. You get all your mail or you get no mail. Pick one.

“I’ve lived here for 6 months and haven’t gotten any mail.” Well, is you name on your mailbox? “Well, no why should it be?”

It’s about 2 spouses planning to cheat on each other because they’re bored with their marriage. The only thing that saves them is he coincidentally responds to her personal ad in the newspaper and they laugh about it after meeting up. They’re shitty people

She lost her Gulag

3 of my 4 desktops are running AM4. My main rig has a 5950x, the home theater PC has a 5500 and my wife’s gaming rig has a 5600. I rebuilt the HTPC several months ago and specifically went with AM4 for price to performance (and because it’s a Linux box)

If only one of these disgruntled former FBI agents would just leak the unredacted Epstein files as a final “fuck you” for being fired. Hell, leak anything, leave the country and leak that shit. Take one for the team. They don’t care about you, why keep covering shit up?

WARNING DO NOT CLICK, MASSIVE SPOILER YOU’VE BEEN WARNED

Call of Duty Warzone.

When it first released it was a very fun battle royale, a much better implantation than CoD’s first go at it, Blackout. You could actually buy back your teammates if they die, they added the Gulag as a chance to come back if you’re killed, you can create loadouts and use money you find in game to buy them. The map was big and expansive and you could usually find some interesting places to drop and not get absolutely dumped on immediately.

My friends and I played it for a long time, both on PS4 and later PC. When they moved the map to Black Ops Cold War’s version I’d argue it was a bit of an improvement even though all the Cold War guns outshined the Modern Warfare 2019 guns. That was the start of the decline in my eyes. Making the guns from the new game perform better than from the old one was how they pushed you to buy the new CoD so you could level up the guns and play better in Warzone.

Warzone moved to Vanguard’s Caldera map, which I think was a fantastic map, had some cool limited time modes and events, but at first they had some kind of issue with the light rendering because it wasn’t the easiest to spot enemies or items on the map. They fixed that and it was fine, we had some amazing games and lots of fun on Caldera.

Then they released Warzone 2.0 (which was arguably Warzone 4.0 but that’s an argument for a different day) using the Modern Warfare 2 engine. It was a very bad Warzone. The map was boring, the sound effects like hit markers by default were new and ear piercingly awful, and whatever rendering system they used made it extremely difficult to see enemies. Keep in mind I’m running this game on a 3090 so it’s not a graphics issue, it’s an engine one. Also on that note, the game literally struggled to run on my friends 3070 and 3060 12G cards. It was bad.

We stopped playing for a long time, moved onto other things, then did try again when MW3’s version came out. It was fine, map was better but the engine still had the rendering enemies issue.

Between the bad changes they made, the horrible monetization with the obnoxious skins and shit, at one point there was a gun you could only unlock through the battle pass or buy a skin for later which was an OP gun, and a plague of other issues we stopped playing. The game stopped being a fun shooter with friends and just became a slog to play. If we could go back to the original 2020 Warzone we would, but even when they rereleased Verdansk in MW3 it wasn’t the same.

The nukes start flying at 12:00

Todd Howard at 12:01 “Hey guys, I’m excited to announce the launch of Fallout 5, our largest map in any Bethesda game, it’s literally the entire planet! Graphics will have 16 times the detail, unless you need glasses, and your carry capacity will be based on your very own actual strength. Weapon variety will greatly depend on which country or state you live in. We’ll be releasing this new augmented reality experience starting right after the first bomb drops. Oh and one more thing, we did run out of time on development, so we don’t have a Pip-Boy for you and there are no Vaults. Good luck!”

Had this issue once, 2 drives kept not initializing during boot, rebooting a few times got them to register but showed drive errors. I thought either the drives or my SAS card was dying. Fully reseating the connectors fixed it and haven’t had an issue since.

Back in the day I loved seeing what people would do on that other site, /r/photoshopbattles. Lots of good shops from there rattling around in my memes folder.

My wife was an au pair, she’s still in a few nanny/au pair Facebook groups and sees posts with asinine requirements all the time.

Once she saw a women post a nanny position for 4 kids with the same “bring your own snacks for my children” requirement and they were only paying $18/hr. Most nanny positions around here are paying $25ish depending on the hours and that’s for no more than 2 kids.

That lady got flamed in the comments and left the group.

I just finished Bojack last week. I watched through season 3 before but dropped Netflix and never got around to finishing it. I basically binged the whole show and as much as I’d hate to give Netflix any money, I’d buy a full series blu-ray in a heartbeat.
