  1. -Me, arriving on jobsite, to manager and store employee, "Please don't touch the things until we say it's OK."
    -Me, Installs two things, leaves the second to sync up while going to install the third thing.
    -Me, Comes back to the second thing to see it rebooting again. Asks store manager what happend.
    -Store manager:"It wasn't working, so I rebooted it."
    -Me, *fume*, "Yes, because it hasn't been configured properly, yet. Hopefully your reboot at the wrong time didn't break it."
    -Store Manager: "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO RUDE!"

    I mean, I wasn't rude. I was direct.

    She knew not to touch the stuff - I ensured that when I arrived. She touched it anyway. I ended up needing to spend an extra hour or so to unfuck what sh'ed fucked up by rebooting during a data sync operation.

    I will, undoubtedly, hear about it from my bosses tomorrow.

  2. I'm having an interesting time with Telus.
    The winds of the last week have bounced the landlines running from the telephone pole to the house off their hooks. The lines are dangling and one is caught up in a crabapple tree. Explaining this to 611 proved extremely hard and took two attempts. Finally a ticket was initiated for them to reattach the line.
    Now I keep getting texts that if I fail to meet with the technician, I will be charged $200 - for them to repair their infrastructure.

  7. I suspect RFK, Jr. works for the Kremlin. I can't prove it, but I can't prove we're in a simulation, either, and I'm guessing that at least one of those two suspicions must be correct.

  12. This is what happens when you match the intellect of Trump and his crowd with a genocidal maniac like Netanyahu. And now a wonderfully historic, deeply troubled country, is being pounded into anarchy.

    "Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

    'The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates,' Trump told me. 'It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead.' “

    And oh ya, Carney is like…. It’s fine. 👍

  13. People on the Fediverse pride themselves of being smarter than all those "idiots" on other platforms, and then I see things like a campaign to "block" Bluesky on the Fediverse...

    All that absence of thinking is tiring...

    Reply people, if you want to reply, be careful how you do it, you will be judged.

  19. A quotation from John Frederick Boyes

    The effect of continually reading inferior newspapers, or hearing trivial sermons, is not so mischievous by its direct influence upon our thoughts, as it is by gradually making us fancy that the poorest thoughts may be worth public expression.

    John Frederick Boyes (1811-1879) English scholar, classicist
    Lacon in Council, “Literature, Poetry, Oratory, Genius, &c.” (1865)

  23. A quotation from Chamfort

  24. "This Guy Got Shredded in 16 Weeks Thanks to These Lifting Tweaks"

    Yeah! What did it are the tweaks.

    It definitely wasn't genetics.

    Or the steroid that this guy was taking behind everyone's back.

    He's an ALPHA!!!! YEAAAARRRGHGGH!

    (You can guess what happened to Men's Health after this debacle of an article.)

  25. Techies: 'Fraid not. You're trying to #have your #cake, and #eat it too.

    #Canadian #Legacy #Media: We don't get it. How do you eat your cake if you don't have it?

    Techies: You didn't take any history classes, did you?

    CLM: Why would we need those?

    Techies: Anyways... as long as C-18 is in effect, you won't get any traffic or exposure.

    CLM: That sucks! Fix it!

    Techies: I give up.
