Alright, my normal search-fu has been thwarted by modern search "technology."

I've stripped the threads on one of these screws (and maybe damaged the others) that holds down the bed of my Qidi Plus 4, so I need replacements, but what even are these screws? Are they custom made or are they something I can actually get replacements for? Qidi doesn't have any for sale on their website and "oval head screw" is something else altogether.

The kittens have discovered that they can reach through the gap between back of my chair and the seat and poke me in the lower back with their claws. I'm pretty sure they think it's funny.

Let this be an EULA for me: I do not, and will never consent to letting Palantir anywhere near any information about me. Anyone caught violating this will be publically shamed at the very least.

I'm having a hard time coming up with more alt texts for these. Does someone else want to have a go? (Please no "AI" tools)

How is it that they just keep getting cuter? 🥺

I find it hard sometime not to pronounce the word "Magician" as "Magic Ian." They're all named Ian, even though most of them will lie, it's all part of the illusion.

"If you need more support try our Chatbot"

No thanks, I'd rather stab my eyes out with a banana slug.

App? App. App, you wanna app with our app. Get our app. Is good. You want app. Get app here. Click for app. You need app. App is good. App is friend. Give life over to app and let app put you gently to forever rest.

All this speculation about whether a recent disease outbreak was the result of stolen samples from a lab has me wondering if it's part of the anti-vax movement and someone is trying to make pathogen research so unpopular that labs and their associated research start getting shut down.

Sometimes my fingers will type something they absolutely should not have, like just now when I meant to type "ladder" but it came out "latter." WTF, brain, are you *speaking* the word before sending it to the hands?

Apparently there's a whole town in Western Australia that nobody's allowed to talk about.

Self reminder: machines do no work if you fail to turn them on.

"It helps non-creative people be creative."

You have entirely missed the point of creativity.

Remember, no matter what the repercussions are for disobeying fascists, the reprcussions for capitulating to them will always be worse.

I wonder if there's an easy way to tell Linux/systemd "don't run this scheduled process if the system is already under heavy load". I *do* want it to run a file indexer on my documents directory, I just don't want it to do so while I'm in the middle of a game.

"Redundant RAID array" 😂

This is already my most successful poll. Thanks @alice 😂

How did you get up there?

Hold on, hold on, hold on. You had *all* this space to print stuff, *and* included a double sided card, and what you used it for wasn't including the install instructions, but providing the exact same message twice, including *two,* *identical* QR codes for the instructions?

Am I just an old fogey here? This is ridiculous, right?
