Makes sense. Hateful, but I get it now. Thanks.

Quite my last tech support job in 2007, hated it, ready to move up. Didn’t score another IT role for 7 years, hated the job I was in.

54, American here. Yeah, I think we peaked in the 80s and 90s after a small setback in the 70s. Through 2010 was pretty good as well except for 9/11 fucking up our politics and legislation.

Also, add this:

I meant to say your first part there and forgot. :) So, THREE reasons the times were called thus.

People always downvote that person just for the thorns. I dunno. I can read, it takes one sentence for my brain to compensate and roll with it. I think it’s kinda neat as well.

Everything is cyclical. Funny reading people on here acting like it’s the end of the world. No, they just haven’t lived through the end of a cycle. Gotta admit, the West had a hella run since WWII.

Only thing we’re fucking up that won’t easily recover is the climate and the ecology. (Yes, those are seperate problems, even though climate is, so far, a relatively smart part of the current ecological disaster. The BIG chunk of that is human activities.)

“Dark Ages” comes from Renaissance and Enlightenment scholars saying, “Thank God we’re so smart. Those people were morons.”

Also, it was after Rome really fell apart, darker times then the Empire certainly.

I think that’s only if you’re using their unifying dongle. They dropped that tech I think, not sure they replaced it.

My current Logitech mouse never bugs me, only using a generic driver.

Probably the unifying software (runs multiple peripherals on one dongle) or the solar app (kinda neat, not needed).

Guy at my last job would not speak if the Zoom was making an AI summary. He’d tell everyone up front, turn his camera off and go mute.

Grandpa taught me this as a child. Shake hell out of your hands in the sink. (This TED Talk caught some laughs, but he’s demonstrating how useful memes can spread.)

Shake dry, hit the dryer. Spread your fingers wide, rub vigorously, flipping one side to the other and in between your fingers. The idea is to splat the water droplets, break their surface tension, flatten them out. You can get dry in 15-20 seconds.

Show. Me. The. Spreadsheets.

Curious what and how you’re prompting. I get solid results, but I’m only asking for hard facts, nothing that could have opinion or agenda inserted. Also, I never go past the first prompt. There be dragons that way.

Wikipedia was not then what it is now. You’re spot on with all that, spot on, but in the early days it wasn’t nearly as trustworthy.

Show me. That’s a simple request.

Not following. Sounds like you were both in agreement? Or was the post above that relevant?

play in the cylinder along the axis of the cylinder pin

Got me in the zone! Testing today and the cylinder pin wasn’t seating tight. Tried to tighten the release button, already tight, seemed good for a minute.

Fired 6 rounds, but it got sticky. Same issue, but not as bad. Too tired to mess with it more tonight, but the cylinder is indeed moving forward on the cylinder pin axis.

You are now my rubber duck.

Nope. Among many other comms, those always fail to allow my posts. Firefox/Windows/PC. ?

I was a very small child in the 70s and my grandad who raised me explained contrails. I got it. Did I mention I was a small child? How in the fucking fuck are adults, 50 years later, with all the knowledge in the world on their portable computers, not getting it?!

We should use this as a test. “Know what jet contrails are and how they work? No? You are too stupid to be breathing my air. Go way.”

Got snap caps for almost all my guns! Love 'em! This model has a hammer-block safety. That’s safe to dry fire, yes? Never hits the firing pin.
