Funny thing is, I don’t own a printer, so when I need documents printed I go to the local library. Their computers run Linux, and of all the times I’ve gone to get a print done it’s been an extremely flawless experience. No fuss, no hassle, just load up the document and print it.
“LINE MUST GO UP! LINE MUST GO UP!”

I’ve been doing the FBI Surveillance van one for years. 50 is the 5G band and I have 24 as the 2.4G band.
My gaming desktop has a 5950x, I can run virtual machines and all games just fine. No reason to upgrade.
My Plex server runs an Intel 10400, handles everything I throw at it just fine. No reason to upgrade.
My home theater PC runs a Ryzen 1700 and again, runs just fine. No reason to upgrade.
I think the newest CPU in my house is either my Steam Deck’s APU or the one in my PS5.
Yeah it’s basically a convection oven on wheels with the little rinky dink fan installed in them
I’ve used the old trucks in New Mexico, 140°F in the trucks wasn’t uncommon in the summer. It was a relief to get out of it and cool off a bit. AC will be great.
Yes, I’m 6ft and have to hunch over in the back of the LLV, or squat down while re-sorting packages. The inner compartment door is one of the best things about the LLV since the heaters suck and it helps keep the heat in the cabin, plus the ease of access.
I haven’t gotten to use one of these new trucks because I’m in a smaller office which will likely be one of the last to get them but they did try and get us the newer Metris vans which are horrible. No inner compartment door so you have to constantly get out and no adjustability to the mail tray.
I’ve got several flash drives from 2 different brands that are less than 3 years old that are already dying. SanDisk and Lexar, both large brands and they’re already losing reliability. Real shame that the older stuff works longer. I really only need them for making Linux bootable drives and they struggle with that.
Yes I am aware some people don’t have a choice but to buy cheap cars, I have been there as well. After high school I paid $800 for a 96 Suburban that was horrible on gas but it was my only viable option. I mainly judge people who spend obscene money on an overpriced vehicle or a big stupid truck that you can tell they only drive on pavement.
Not only am I one of those people, I’m also one who judges people for buying certain cars. Like “Ha, look at that loser who bought that early model Chrysler 300, enjoy your motor blowing up” or “is that a SUPRA that’s actually just a BMW Z4?” Then usually whoever is in the car with me asks what the fuck I’m talking about and I just say “nevermind” and move on to judging the next car in silence.
Except for Tesla’s, I will point at them and yell “ewwww” when I see them, but not because they’re EVs, because of Elon.
I’m just an idiot that tinkers with things. I’ve got a TrueNAS Scale system up and running as network storage and Plex storage. There’s about 44TB of raw capacity in there right now, connected via a server SAS card. I just follow tutorials if I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
Good point, launch the frozen demon core into the sun
Hey how about we put those the fuck back where they were and just make pretend viruses in Plague Inc. We don’t need to unleash the ancient virus that’ll make us shit our own brains out
Onya, Wade, bring more people to Linux.
I’ve been visiting Brazil the past couple weeks and this is something I see here, it’s so nice to not have to arbitrarily round up prices in my head to figure out the true cost before going to the register. I’ll miss that when I get back home.
You wouldn’t dare
In layman’s terms, they wanna move carriers to sorting facilities to cut down on cost for shipping mail to local offices. This could cause carriers who live in the towns the deliver in, like myself, to drive upwards of 45 minutes to an hour away to a sorting facility (this number is based on what my office’s situation would be, could vary office to office). After clocking in and sorting our routes, we would then have to drive back that same amount of time to town to deliver, then drive that far back to return to office.
You can see the issue here, sure you’re cutting on transportation costs to local offices, but you’re now spending a lot more on carriers fuel in the already inefficient mail trucks to drive back and forth to their routes. We wouldn’t get compensated for the milage and time going to and from the new office and it would lengthen our days because of the new drive time. That being said, if that drive time is accounted to our routes, our routes are supposed to be adjusted to 8 hours total time for normal mail volume. Now you’re adding that much time, you gotta cut deliveries per route. Now you have to add more routes to compensate, which means paying more salaries to cover said routes. Sure it’s good for us as carriers because routes need readjusting anyway, but is not the cost saving measure they think it is.
Edit: Another idea they’ve had is create regional delivery offices where 3 or more towns are in a single building, but this can cause the same issue, and in some regions it may not be possible due to the distance between offices in highly rural areas such as the Great Plains.
TLDR: will cause more problems than it solves.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk
At first I thought you meant quitting your Amazon job, not quitting from shopping there lol
Inspirational either way
