Seconded.

And if they’re not available for this model/brand, switch to another if possible. There are a lot of headphones with replaceable pads, many of them very affordable.

This is the means of production. We seized it. This is home now.

Time to order one unit of the cheapest thing on the menu and free cups of water for you and your 40 closest friends. More than likely, someone will be around quickly to cancel that and take your real order. Otherwise, wait for your original order and immediately request a refund.

Okay, we are a union of networked instances now. What can we make for you, comrade?

“Cronyism and self-dealing in my laissez-faire capitalism?”

It’s more likely than you think.

Sincere but possibly stupid question: what keeps people from joining a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing access as a proxy? Businesses have accounts for all kinds of services for the use of their constituents.

This is the way…except for that last part. Someone got my touring bike. I know their life probably sucks already if they’re that desperate, but a small part of me still kind of hopes they step barefoot on a Lego brick, like right in the heel, every single day until they turn away from their life of crime.

194k miles, but I got nothing on this guy with 3,260,257 miles:

My current car is under 15k. I got it new in 2020 because I thought I would have to commute forever. Fate smiled on me and now I walk or take public transportation most places. It’s weird having something that’s been essential my whole life become more of a cost than a benefit. It would have bene way cheaper to use a mixture of rental cars and ride shares if I could have seen the future. As it is, it’s paid off, fuel efficient, and cheap to maintain. I’ll keep it, but it’s probably my last car.

"The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal,”

Then they go on to list a bunch of anti-democratic suggestions. They also defend billionaires while criticizing “elites.” It’s less disinformation and more incoherent ramblings of wealthy, one-trick ponies trapped in an echo chamber of yes men.

…with effort and collaboration.

Maybe it’s a sample size issue. They were a less common in the 2000s. Also Iran is a lot bigger, more populous, and technologically advanced than Iraq was at that time.

Weird how the number of random crashes go up in war zone.

1890s or 1790s?

Shouldn’t you be serving breakfast before posting on social media?! Geez. Some humans. I swear.

I don’t know. Since we put ours on an alter and started placing burnt offerings of RAM before it, uptime has gotten a lot better.

First of all, that’s the most patriotic thing I’ve heard in recent memory.

Secondly, you should probably get that checked out.

Reminded me of the following for some reason:

Smegging hell. 70 is a good run, but still too soon for me.

Plus, they’re not famously reliable at being able to identify citizenship.

Agreed, and furthermore, it shouldn’t matter at all. If the worst Russian Intelligence can do is use real evidence to prove a crime was committed, that’s an easily solvable problem both by not committing crimes and by prosecuting crimes committed with transparent, due process.

It really is a very silly argument.

“Your honor, in my defense, the guy who saw me shoot the victim, called the police, and submitted some of the damning evidence to them was a known mafia member, untrustworthy, and had committed crimes against me in the past.”

“Okay, and what do you have to say about all of this other corroborated evidence from trustworthy sources?”

“Well they wouldn’t have found it if he hadn’t pointed it out!”

I don’t think he was a Russian spy, but I am also sure that it’s irrelevant.
