Complete darkness. Black out curtains on windows. Remove anything that has a light. I can see the tiny LED light on a charging cable through my eyelids. I fall asleep so much faster after getting rid of all light sources.

No alcohol. Drinking would make me fall asleep easily, but I would wake up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back asleep for 1 to 2 hours every time.

neofetch is deprecated. There are several alternatives like fastfetch.

I think you’re in the wrong classroom. Government abortion-clinic cellphone tracking software is next door.

Thank you, Ward Christensen. RIP. I was just commenting on another thread earlier today, recounting my nostalgia for dialing into a small BBS after school and talking to my friends.

I am still running an FX-8320 and it’s fast enough for everything that I need it for. It baffles me to see people arguing about the differences between different Ryzen CPUs.

As someone who modded his controller with metal buttons. Instant regret. It is not comfortable for extended gaming sessions.

Seriously, as an IT person, I still never know what most of my USB ports are capable of, but I’m glad they are backwards compatible. If something is slow, then I try a different cable and port.

The similarities between Happy Fun Ball and Elon’s childhood car drawing are SHOCKING (because both will likely electrocute the user)

We’re not buying the game, we’re buying the fantasy that we have the free time to play the game. I heard someone say that about books they bought and didn’t read. You can apply this reasoning to explain a lot of similar spending people do.

Every xbox360 console I have owned or known others to own was defective within a short timespan. I would never trust their hardware ever again.

Thank you. I watched this two times and now I have a better understanding of the combination pizza hut and taco bell.

I have a 2 TB Steam Deck running Bazzite OS. How does this impact me and my family?

Not yet.

Microsoft’s loss of cloud data for the Sidekick phone was one of the biggest disasters in cloud computing history.

REFUSED!!! I discovered them way too late. They were a band ahead of their time!

Screeching Weasel, NOFX, Pennywise, No Use For A Name, Rancid/Greenday for introducing me to punk.

I’ve lived in a house that has a Black Widow problem for 14 years. I had severe arachnophobia when I moved here. Unfortunately, I don’t use poisons in my house, so my only option was to kill them by hand. The first several years, I would do regular patrols of my garage and yard at night to squish them. Night is the best time to kill them because they will usually sit in the middle of their nests. If they are not in the nest, I can usually find a bug to throw in the web that draws them out quickly. I had a favorite tool for the job, but anything screwdriver-ish will work. I know all their favorite spots, so it doesn’t take long to do a sweep. I also destroy the egg sacks.

I realize that without covering my house with poison, I will never be rid of them. More than anything, I just try to keep my floors and yard tidy with less spots for them to call home. Luckily, I have never seen one in the house other than a few juveniles. I think there is no food in the house for them, so the small ones that get in the house end up starving.

Most people go with poisons, so I thought I would pop in with my weirdness. Don’t worry about it too much. But also take precautions like not leaving your shoes where they could get in. And inspect boxes that have been in the garage before bringing into the house.

Same. The Deck is my main computer and Bazzite is a much better OS than the default. I only wish I could boot straight to Desktop Mode, because I rarely have time to play games anymore.
