First time I ever got paid for tech support, my mom’s coworker came over with a laptop with wifi that refused to work. He was clever enough that he had tried reinstalling drivers and all sorts of stuff. He was so frustrated he gave into my mom’s suggestion that maybe her 12 year old son could help.

Windows was still booting up when I found the hardware switch for the wifi on the side of the laptop.

The guy looked so defeated, I couldn’t even laugh or smile about it at the time. He was literal head in hands, practically in tears, and then he peeled off a $20 without looking at me.

So don’t feel bad, this has been happening to the best of us for decades.

When you go to Luigi them, make sure the bullet ricochets off the ground so they don’t have a life insurance claim.

Boycotts don’t stop EA money. They have superbowl ad money. The market of consumers that really just don’t give a shit about this is way too large, and they will go with what’s advertised to them constantly.

I’m not saying don’t boycott them. I have for decades. I’ve preached that for decades. It doesn’t work, the AAA dev is going to still have the main stage during every gaming convention and there will still be some weird ass overnight line to be the first one to buy corporate slop game 2026.

I think the answer is already in the question.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly. The best images we have of this system that jams ukranian drones is a video of a ukranian drone casually idling by it? The brain drain hit russia hard, didn’t it?

I used a little self motivator to memorize B. “If you’re blue inside, it ends in shit.” That puts solid brown at the end, and keeps straight the blue/green pairs in the middle.

A cool and rebellious act to mask some severe daddy issues. “No dad, what about you!”
