Am American. Our politics are currently one giant shit post.

Also, there are no rules against shit posting about international politics. So, fire flush away.

There are some subreddits that I miss but there’s also usually a lot less bullshit here. The giant “fuck you” to third party app developers was the last straw for me. I wasn’t even in that group but that pretty much told me where reddit was heading and I wasn’t willing to go along with it. But, there’s probably quite a few people here who still use Reddit. Either way, welcome!

I forgot my mom even had those dishes.

Nope. They get screened out by a trash filter at the sewage treatment plant and then find their way into the landfill. Unfortunately, they frequently fail to make it to the plant and cause some nasty clogs.

If you have a septic tank in your back yard like I do, then you’re just playing a $25,000 game of Russian roulette.

It does not matter how big it says so on the package. “Flushable” wipes are NOT flushable.

One time my wife got me a really nice DeWalt jig saw for Christmas. I already had a jigsaw. It worked well enough for as much as I use it. Although the newer one was better quality and had a few nicer features.

You know what I did? I thanked her and told her how much I appreciated it. She saw something she thought would make my life a little easier and got it for me as a gift. It was a very kind gesture. If it were the wrong one, I probably would have talked to her later and asked if I could exchange it for one that would have suited my needs better while still letting her know that I appreciated what she was trying to do. I’m sure she would have been fine with that.

What I wouldn’t have done was gripe at her for buying me a new power tool because I “don’t like new things” or “I already have a jigsaw and it works just fine.” That would be a terrible idea which would understandably hurt her feelings when she was just trying to do something nice for me.

It wasn’t about the “thing”. It was about the gesture. The fact that they gave you such a gift shows that they pay attention to what you do and they wanted to give you something to make your life a little easier. That was very thoughtful but you threw it back in their face. I completely understand why they’re angry.

“We’re going to use NestJS for the backend.”

Wait… Oh no. Oh please no. God why!?!

You were “filled with the holy spirit.” You really couldn’t help it. 🤷‍♂️

Reminds me of my neighbors complaining some websites had “liberal views” on vaccines.

I didn’t even bother to ask what that meant because the phrase itself was so stupid. I just knew the explanation was going to be even stupider.

“Always Tell the Truth”

Buddy, I have some really disappointing news for you.

“Welcome to Zombocom.”

All the function parameter and returns types are going to be “any”.

Still waiting to get my healthcare “fixed” after 10 years. Any day now…

And we’re not going to tell you.

Self hosting is a great opportunity to learn about some popular technologies and even acquire a few sysadmin skills. Required knowledge of a self-hosted solutions tech stack is not gatekeeping any more than required knowledge of tools and building materials is gatekeeping when it comes to renovating your bathroom. In either scenario, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s going to be a much more difficult job.

That said, you should not be exposing any of your services to the public if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s a quick way to a bad time.

What’s really annoying is when you spend two days trying to track down a bug, only to find out it’s not really a bug.

Third time in the last 4 months.

C’mon guys. The Republicans are totally going to fix healthcare just like they promised in 1993, 2002, 2008, 2010, 2016 2017, 2020, 2024, The Last Week.

Shouldn’t take more than about two weeks.

You could do what my dad did and accidently delete some of the system files, leaving it for your kid to fix.

The reason I want my children to have access to a computer specifically, is that while TVs and phones are used to consume, computers are used to create.

Joking aside, that’s an interesting perspective. I hadnt really thought of it that way before, despite using a computer to create things almost every day.

It really used to piss me off when the older techs would make me crawl around in nasty crawlspaces while they stood around and smoked cigarettes.

I get not wanting to be there but I’m not not about to leave some poor kid who doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing fumbling around in the dark by himself for half the day.
