Except when they’re not lying but windows by default has ‘fast-startup’ enabled, so every time they shutdown the uptime never resets.

Or they shutdown and turn it back on, which doesn’t count in windows as restarting unless you disable fast-startup. So you get annoyed tech support thinking the user is a liar and an annoyed end user that knows they turned it off and on again.

I’m a linehaul driver, pic from my first day at this job. I pull a set of double-trailers back and forth between two company terminals overnight. Same route each time, home every day. Pretty chill and easy work, I just listen to audiobooks and podcasts all night as I try not to slap anyone with my back trailer. any recommendations for something new to listen to I’d love to hear it

Ok random question: the Walgreens near me almost never asks for my ID when I pickup my Adderall, is it really not required for that? I thought it was a hard rule to check ID for any controlled substances

8 minutes? Damn, it takes me that long just to boil water on the stove

Forget 75°, just 65°C (150°F) will give you third degree burns in 2 seconds:

Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree water for two seconds. Burns will also occur with a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to 130 degree water. Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five minute exposure could result in third-degree burns.

nah, it was digitalcore

lies, sometimes I still need to flip usb-c to get it in. there’s still a hidden dimension there, it’s just better hidden than before

I’ve only been part of one private tracker, and I got kicked from them after not logging in for a month despite meeting ratios. haven’t bothered since then

Takes time to precisely seek to each timestamp, but really I just meant that an hour was reasonable even with a lazy cop doing the search

the pills feel about as solid as any others, it’s just the foil backing on the blister pack they’re meant to pierce through is damn near bulletproof.

oof, I forgot about cutting pills. those cheap pill cutters are absolutely useless. one trick I found for the pills too small to break by hand is to press them over a small wire, something like a small paperclip straightened out. then set the notch of the pill on there and press down on either side with each thumb. finnicky getting them lined up right, but far cleaner breaks than anything else I’ve ever found. worked better to do them in batches for future use than every time I needed one

I thought this had to be hyperbole, so I did the math myself. I’m assuming human history is 200,000 years as google says, and we want to narrow this down to the second the bike disappeared. also that the bike instantly vanished so there’s no partially existing bike.

each operation divides the time left in half, so to get from 200k years (6.311×10^12 seconds) to 1 would take ~42.58 divisions, call it 43. even if we take a minute on average to seek and decide whether the bike is there or not it would still be less than an hour of manual sorting

hell, at 60fps it would only take another 6 divisions to narrow it down to a single frame, still under an hour

edit: to use the entire hour we’d need a couple more universes worth of video time to sort through, 36.5 billion years worth to be exact. or a measly 609 million years if we need to find that single frame at 60fps

the worst are the pills in blister packages where the foil is stronger than the pill itself, so you just end up crushing the pill inside. like I get blister packages are supposed to make it harder to get a ton of pills out at once, but if it forces me to grab scissors anyways that kinda defeats the purpose

they could go the apple route and just make sms messages an ugly color

My digital timers have a ton of labeled times I’ve set for various things. One press and I’m set, and I can have multiple going at once and know at a glance which one is done or nearly so. My memory isn’t good enough to keep track of how long things take, and I lose physical notes. Having those notes all saved within a clock app attached to their own timers is far too convenient for me to do away with

Try the audio captcha, those seem to have actual valid answers to them.

Funny enough, there’s an extension that solves captchas by feeding that audio through a speech recognition algorithm. If anything it’s more reliable than solving them manually

AMdroid is similar, bunch of different task and puzzle options you can set for your future self to solve before you can turn the alarm off. I usually do math problems, just difficult enough that I need to be at least 90% conscious to actually solve them.

come morning time I hate the app with a passion, but it’s just the kick in the ass I need sometimes

it’s too bad the stock launcher on android doesn’t let you change app logos. you can do it using most 3rd party launchers, but that’s probably not worth it for that one feature

your link shows a \ before each underscore in the visible text for me in both comments, like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blue\_stop\_sign\_-\_hawaii\_-\_oct\_2015.jpg and hovering or clicking the link replaces that \ with %5C, so the entire thing tries linking to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blue%5C_stop%5C_sign%5C_-%5C_hawaii%5C_-%5C_oct%5C_2015.jpg. clicking ‘source’ on those comments shows just the \ before each underscore

no idea what’s causing it, super weird to have the same bug messing with links that reddit does
