They always rope you in with a riveting first season or so, then they spring the gaiety on you by season 3. They don't even ease you into that shit neither. It's just BAM! studly womanizer is a rump ranger all of the sudden.

Yup...
One of the first shows I ever noticed them purposely fudging after the first few (epic) seasons was "Lost"...
It wasn't gay stuff, lol, but it just...
I dunno, it changed and I couldn't get into it anymore.
First few seasons though, wow.
I had a few crazy epiphanies last night. I feel like a different person almost, like I centered myself again but without weed this time.
I'm centering myself again, and weed is definitely part of the process.
I'm gonna rename my WiFi network to ARPANET. You know, for the lulz.
Someone in the neighborhood I used to live in named their network DearPrudence. I never saw any goths going in and out of any nearby buildings though.
Protip: Twitter is the quickest way to get customer service from Amazon, the cable company, and probably other companies.
Re: Twitter, I honestly hate the fact that this is true.

Heaven yeah, smoke some of that whacky tobaccy in my honor bby.
"SurveillanceVan" and the like are my fave choices for WiFi names.

My friend had a medical marijuana card that was about to expire, so we decided to use it. We went to the dispensary, and I got 1/2 ounce of fruity pebbles for $35. They threw in another 1/2 ounce of shake that was pretty good too. So, a whole ounce for $35.
So... yeah. I got a dot matrix printer and 3,500 sheets of continuous feed paper with the green bars on it. I also got a 6-pack of ink ribbons, although one ribbon will print up to 4 million characters. This should last me the rest of my life. Maximum geekiness!

The new "panoramic" wifi modem/routers kinda suck.
First off, they want you to use a mobile app for router admin. The app used to allow you to change the SSID and password, but they evidently took that feature out and didn't change the documentation to reflect the fact. The support people on Twitter said they'll get it changed.
Fortunately, you can still jack straight into the router with an ethernet cable to access the admin. I'm not gonna do it right now because I don't have a cable long enough, and I don't want to move my desktop PC all the way across the living room to use the short piece of cable they provided. My lab laptop will arrive in a few days, so I'll wait till then.
Secondly, the new modems no longer support pulse dialing. I ordered a pulse to Touch-Tone converter, but it'll take a month to get here. I can't dial out on my rotary phones in the meantime.
That's not a particularly attractive solution either. When I
dial a number, I don't want to hear Touch-Tone. I want to hear the dial go "blub blub blub blub blub" when I dial.
I could do a whole thread about how the 1984 divestiture of the original company named AT&T was a mixed bag. Maybe I'll do so someday.
The notifications in Cinnamon (a Linux desktop environment) don't have sound effects.
I have my Proton Mail account open on my desktop and phone at the same time. When the phone makes that blingy Android notification sound, I check my e-mail on the desktop.
I wish there was a way to put the sound effect on the desktop.
Anyone else ever had ginger root fog up a sealed glass jar?

No but it sounds like you need to let that moisture the fuck out of there cuz that's gonna turn into a bad situation.
If it's fogging up it's not sealed. Did you jar it yourself??
Sounds compromised.
I bought it fresh at Walmart a few days ago and put it in one of those glass jars with the latch and rubber gasket. I'm pretty sure the moisture is emanating from the ginger itself.
Should I put one of those silica gel packs in there?
I took the ginger out of the jar and wiped the condensation off the inside of the glass. Noticed a little mold on the cut ends, so I cut it back to fresh meat. Put a silica gel pack in the jar with the ginger on top. We'll see what happens.
