“You know enough to be dangerous”

It can be used as either an insult or a compliment.

Nobody ever gives the cow any credit…

I misread you as saying “Thanks late stage filesystem.” 🤣

A scifi short story I read was set in a somewhat idyllic future.

Robots did everything. Everyone was given housing, food etc. Health was covered and people lived virtually forever. Nobody worked, and you could travel and do anything you wanted.

The most prized thing, that everyone was desperate for, was having an original thought.

Worse still, no manual entry of the birth date, so it takes ages to scroll down and select the year.

That it’s never too late!

The ‘brands’ they are displaying.

I see people checking me and others out. What runners are they? Jordans or KMart? Is that a Lacoste or walmart? Is that a real Rolex or D&G handbag?

But for me, it’s not judging them like you think.

I judge them flashing brands as a sign of insecurity, a need to appear wealthy and ‘fit in’, and a likely ‘keep up with the Jones’ jealous type.

So, I actually feel sad for them.

And, yes, I am aware it’s super judgemental and I’m no doubt hypocritical as well, as there are some things I will buy certain brands for.

SILENCE, PEASANT!

You will now work Saturday as well!

What should I have said?

"Wow, sadly I think it means that person has some serious mental issues, and we should get them some help.

Are you feeling okay? Do you want me to call someone for you?"

Does up=off for British light switches? That’s unhinged

It’s sensible. It stops the electrons from falling out!

Seems to have deliberately taken the opposite path of anything British:

• Drive on the wrong side of the road
• The light and power switches are upside down
• Weights & measures. Imperial? Ha!
• Screw your English dictionary. Ima put z’s everywhere, drop the letter u and randomly pronounce words like buoy so you think there’s an animal in the water over there

It kinda makes me laugh to think about it as just anti-British 🤣

Sesquipedalian: A user of big words

I like that saying sesquipedalian makes you sesquipedalian.

In the darkened boardroom of ShittyStreamingService, the presentation continues:

“…and so we’ve set our price at $15 per month. This is a reasonable price that everyone in our target demographics can afford.”

What the numpties at ShittyStreamingService haven’t considered is that yes, maybe I can afford $15 per month. But I can’t afford it for each of the 7,836 different streaming/music/gaming services!!

I’ve got a random username if the stupid website/app allows it. Most don’t. It has to be your email address.

And a minimum random 20 char password for each website/app. Again if the stupid website/app allows it.

Secure your (I don’t mean you personally) fucking website/app and credentials storage and stop making your weaknesses my problem.

Most places, and all of my stupid financial websites/apps, only have phone/SMS as the second factor. And yet there are plenty of horror stories about people ‘losing’ their phone numbers.

Oh wait. There is one financial site that has developed its own authenticator app. I really expect that to go about as well as storing passwords in cleartext.

Then there’s all the shit websites/apps that I don’t give a fuck about that now insist on having 2FA set up. They’re not interested in the security, it’s just to get your email and phone number to onsell your data to whoever.

It’s fucking security theater.

I’m certifiably insane, have a doctorate in frustration, and many studies published of “Oh, fuck, what is this? I don’t have time for this now, I have shit to get done”.

Good luck.

2FA really stands for

2 FUCKING ANNOYING !!!

I don’t get it. What’s the point of doing any of that the night before?

The night before I mix two eggs with a little milk and put it in a microwavable mug. Then microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and repeat twice. It creates a round slab of egg that I put on a piece of buttered toast with ketchup spread on it.

Yuk. That would be cold and soggy by the next morning lol

All I need is mozilla on android to be able to load local html files.

It’s the only reason I left.

It’s the only reason I will return.
