I’d love to be able to repurpose my old kindles. I have 3 of them that have been gifted over the years and another two that I could probably just ask for since family members have newer ones.

Ideally I just want to have a simple ebook reader and nothing else for at least two of them.

The only issue is from the (admittedly small) searching I’ve done, they aren’t easy to root or install custom roms due to the software version or how new they are. I’ll admit I don’t exactly know what I’m even looking for.

I’d rather reuse things I already have than buy a new tablet just to read books on, especially since it seems like they’re just overpriced generic crap that all looks and mostly feels the same.

Nobody wants to, but there is no bike lane, so…

$399.99

Lol

Lmao, even

I ain’t buying that shit. I will happily buy two 3d printers, upgrade them, and print a giant coffee table sized version before I spend that much on such a small set.

Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.

“The fuck is you talkin about, I looked a buncha stuff up on my phone that’s research!”

Depends on how many you eat…

16 years ago a girl my age slapped my ass and said “sorry, I couldn’t resist, it’s so nice”

I still think about that sometimes.

Diogenes bursts into Plato’s military lecture: BEHOLD! An unstoppable armored column!

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

“Yeah, he finally leaned left in the end” was apparently not an appropriate joke for the family group chat.

And now I know my sister is racist, so…

Quickest way to stop massive Russian losses: TURN AROUND and march your happy asses to Moscow, and have a few words with the shit bags in power.

Fuck, even just every soldier going home would cripple any ability to punish them for being AWOL.

Vanilla pudding in mayo jars.

Blue sport drink in index bottles.

France usually does a pretty good job of fucking shit up when the people in charge go against the populace.

I guess too few people today are actually concerned about privacy. Honestly I think it comes from a place of ignorance. They don’t understand the dangers so they don’t believe there IS danger.

Weird, I was literally just thinking about FLoB last week, and meant to see if he ever got there.

My wife asked what I was doing, so that side tracked me into explaining the Far Lands, and we ended up playing Minecraft for the night.

I honestly expected it to take WAY longer to get there.

If I wanted to go through the process of trying to recover my facebook, I guarantee I would get a few dozen people tossing out hand emojis and saying “amen” before anyone notices I’m not talking about the christian god

Rude is the coworker who thinks their shirts meant to antagonize anyone left of the US version of “center” are hilarious, rude are the coworkers who talk shit about trans people on break, rude are those who spend every conversation saying “mentally ill people should be locked up and oh by the way trans people are mentally ill”, rude are the ones who make the LGBTQ employees scared that one day they’ll just come to work and find a parking lot full of people waiting to jump them because the government said it’s legal.

I consider myself quite polite when these things happen in my workplace and I’m not slashing tires or torching cars, and instead all I do is say “hey that’s not okay and here’s why…”

Doesn’t stop HR from coming and telling me I need to be respectful of my coworkers opinions. (HR guy is a democrat, but like… One of those “if you’re being oppressed please resist quietly and peacefully within the confines of the oppressive laws made specifically to target you” kind of liberals)

Remember kids: the standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

Millions of tax dollars invested in programs, thousands of tax dollars in this case alone brought a hardened criminal mastermind to justice, over a bicycle that cost the company maybe $50 from the manufacturer.

I hope someone along the line stopped at any point to realize how colossally wasteful it was.

Friendly educational reminder that the most effective way to shoot down a drone is 12ga bird shot and clay target loads, you don’t need to pierce the body you only need to break the propellers. Your range isn’t infinite, but it’s better than video games would have you believe. Of course this information is only relevant if you decide to substitute clay target shooting with drones, as one does.

I used to work in a warehouse that made a HUGE deal about the employees using the proper recycling bin so the company can get a nice check from somewhere or other for “going green”

This warehouse recieved thousands of pallets every day.

Each pallet is wrapped with hundreds of square feet of plastic wrap.

Each box is individually wrapped with maybe 10ftsq-50 depending on size.

Each box contains goods in plastic bags. Many of them with plastic clamshell packaging.

The products get unwrapped, and placed in larger boxes on shelves.

When the items get distributed to stores, the items were put in plastic bags, boxed up and wrapped in plastic wrap, boxes placed on pallets that were automatically wrapped by machines in hundreds of square feet of plastic.

None of the plastic from the warehouse floor is separated from the general waste.

Remember, it’s your responsibility to reduce waste.

I think of the shareholders, board, c-suites, and all of their friends every time I gaze upon my Guillotine.

Do iiiiiiiiiit.

Let’s do it.

Let’s fucking do it.

I think we should do it.
