Amech (Aimac) SGT-4 in case anyone was wondering.

The lowest common denominator fuck up a lot of stuff.

You want to watch them? You pay for them.

Just remember: It’s always projection.

Can’t win any way except to cheat.

They had to put a comma in there somewhere. Even of it was in the wrong place and upside down.

Proven? I’m not some conspiracy nut, but there are several reports of tampered candy this year. I imagine some are fake and from attention seekers, but a couple seem legit. The general impossibility of people inspecting every candy before eating would make pre-discovery proof all but impossible.

Sure. That was the pro and con for PCs. You could do whatever with them, but it meant that in doing whatever there was plenty of opportunity to break things or discover incompatibilities. Apple otoh was fuck you, you’re only doing what we let you do. I despised the walled garden, so I’ve been PC/Windows/Linux forever.

As always, this is a relatively tech-knowledgeable platform. 99% of people didn’t know shit about computers before or after the advent of the iphone, and even before that, building a PC wasn’t on the radar for most.

OTOH fixing issues with computers, PC users would know way more than a Apple user because PCs had way more issues. Not really a flex, but certainly relevant to the discussion.

The cold is fine. The short days absolutely suck.

Yeah. That’s what happens when you absolutely refuse to understand that tariffs are passed on to the consumer and not some tax on a foreign country that magically won’t affect you.

Quick google search reveals multiple cases of items being inserted into Halloween candy. Usually needles. Theere were a couple this year in the US. They are isolated incidents, though.

They’re plating politics?

Firing Victoria was really the end of the Old Reddit. It felt like the loss of that side of reddit - the un-guided AMA’s by famous people - just led to reddit descending further into bots and reposts. The site had nothing to talk about other than itself anymore.

I’d be a successful xenobiologist.

It never stops shocking me how awful people are. All it took was trump taking the muzzle off for a huge chunk of the country to reveal what shitty people they are.

Frustrated they can’t just steamroll everything, the dems are forcing the republicans to own their shitty policy they are trying to get the dems to vote for.

Self reinforcing policy for republicans in the US. Just keep making things shittier and more difficult which causes more unrest, so they justify more extreme responses and power grabs. Sounds like they know exactly what they’re doing.

Yeah.

I “blame” popular neighborhoods. Used to be you went around your neighborhood or went with a friend in town if you were more rural or something.

Now there are “it” neighborhoods or even small towns that seem to attract large groups, it’s almost like a block party. Tons of people arrive, there’s wild and extreme halloween decorations, effort gets put into costumes, and sometimes even full-size candy bars. My kids started going to popular areas with friends, one friend lives in a neighborhood like that so everyone uses his house as a starting point. It’s cool, but unfortunately large gatherings tend to bring assholes, too, and now there’s a cop nearby on standby because some people have to be dipshits and start being destructive or try to start fights.

We barely handed out one bag of candy in our neighborhood, last year we went through two big ones.

And there was the HDD shortage, the CPU shortage, and I’m sure we’ll see some variant repeat of any of them again.
