They're still around. They did a really good Karl Marx vs Henry Ford rap a couple of months ago.

Depending on what he did in the military, becoming a cop might have been the only decently paying job he was qualified for.

I prefer wired for almost all cases. The reasons are threefold:

  1. It seems like the only Bluetooth headphones being sold lately are either tiny individual ear buds that are easy to lose or big bulky over-the-ear headphones. Right now, my preferred wireless ear buds are connected by wires to an around-the-neck device, and I'm worried I won't be able to replace them easily when they finish falling apart.

  2. Wireless ear buds are one more thing I have to charge. I already have to charge my phone, watch, game accessories, and vape. I don't need one more battery to manage.

  3. Latency makes it obnoxious to watch video with wireless audio.

Right now, the only use case for my wireless ear buds is when I'm walking the dog and don't want to worry about the wire bouncing around and getting caught on my clothes when I've already got the leash in one hand. The only reason I use Bluetooth in my car is because my old car had annoying feedback when I listened on the aux cable while the phone was charging. I'm considering trying aux again in the new car because the latency on the car's Bluetooth is even worse and I've found myself watching videos in my parked car while on break from work.

At this point, I could honestly see a library being better for fact-checking.

I started a clean Windows install a few weeks ago. Upon first boot, I immediately deleted the program files folder for Edge in an act of defiance to Microsoft. I then realized I had no browser. Had to ask my son to put a Firefox installer on a flash drive for me.

3 days later, I found out that winget exists.

Thank you. It was my first time hearing the term.

What does chaser mean?

The main shift was that I now strongly prefer console/couch/tv gaming over PC/monitor/desk gaming.

This is the big one for me. My co-workers all wonder why I switched from pc to PlayStation, and I'm like, "dude, you just watched me troubleshoot 10 machines that failed our OS upgrade, and you think I want to come home and find that Windows update just broke my sound drivers again?"

Why do I accidentally find my wife's keys in plain sight when she's tearing the house apart panicking to find them?

I'm convinced that "sexual" or "romantic" relationships don't function long-term without friendship as a foundation. My wife is my best friend first and foremost. Even if the other aspects of our relationship crumble or fade, I can't imagine my life without at least being able to crack jokes to her or vent my feelings to her.
