I used to have a little program that would save a file to a user’s desktop. it was made to help with manually compiling files to send out in a package, and every user has a desktop, right? so just save the file there, instead of taking up space on our cloud storage or something (these are often big files, but they only exist for a short period of time) then OneDrive came along and all of a sudden the tool stopped working, because the desktop folder no longer existed. that was a weird one for me

6·9 hours agofor the poors, maybe /s
It’s always interesting hearing from people that this works, because I could be working solid for 2 hours straight but not actually put my cursor in the Teams application and so it thinks I’m away
why? I’d rather everyone knows it’s bullshit than they think it’s accurate

I think the assumption is that there is an unspoken “unless it was explained to them”
otherwise that would be the case for like pretty much all answers

2·1 day agoI think it’s pretty obvious that only gay dudes ride bikes
there is an indication, it’s just not that clear. it took me a bit to understand.
I like Steam as a launcher because I can organize my games
for games I know I want to play, pretty sure I’ve often just launched them directly. I don’t remember, as I haven’t played much on Steam lately, if it would then launch steam before launching the game.
do that after you start downloading/installing

5·2 days agothe world has to learn to do without the US sooner or later. might as well be sooner.
if they’re planning on that, then I agree with the play. if they’re not planning on that and want to continue with the US in as big a role as previously, then fuck 'em.
of course, I don’t know which it is. but it’s obviously the right play to make meaningless moves to appease him.
you don’t think Alan Ritchson has range?
I’m not sure of my own opinion on it, tbh. but I was introduced to him as Thad, so seeing him later on in serious roles was a head turner
well at least they can just tighten it up to regain the meaning

The only thing I can think of is that it detected you were sleepy when you knew that and had already chosen to continue driving

3·3 days agoautomated machine design. mostly automotive crap.
sure does pay the bills what with the always available overtime, but it also has a shit effect on hobbies because (1) there’s only so many hours a week you can spend using a kb/m and at a desk, and more work cuts into gaming, (2) there’s only so many hours you can spend staring at a screen, so more work cuts into gaming or other media, and (3) when your day job is designing machines and solving problems, more of that cuts into playing Minecraft or Factorio or something because hey that’s like the exact same type of thinking.
there’s a reason so many engineers are into climbing, cycling, camping, woodworking etc




crazy how different these lists can be. mine is more like:
rabbit poop
their own poop from an hour ago
my flowers (leaves or buds) that I’ve been working very hard to grow
window blinds
a dead bird of unknown origin
string lights
nothing, just smacking their lips
a bug
a fly
a piece of dog hair fluff, unclear if it’s just attached and they can’t get it off or if they mean to chew on it
