It's freshly baked daily at my local market, not the kind that sits on a shelf for months. If your bread can't last a few days in the fridge then it's also probably not bread...
I mean I'll take it at this point. I was talking to someone recently who was 18, and realized I literally was part of the community before they were born
My fridge bread tastes exactly the same for weeks?
I put a whole extra quart into my Camry, you'll be fine lol
I haven't read or watched the news for almost a decade now. I recommend it.
I do hate when people put the news in memes though, that ruins my streak.
‘I’ve worked here for a year already. It should be clear by now that I’m not a talkative person. This is a question I don’t want to answer. And I hope that you respect that.’
This won't be taken well at all and sounds incredibly assholish.
‘that I don’t talk doesn’t mean I hate you, it means I have nothing to say’ < I find it ludicrous even having to explain this.
Still kinda rude IMO
‘I don’t see what that has to do with the job’
Depending on the situation could also be rude.
‘I don’t talk about religion, politics or my private life with coworkers and I hope you respect that’
Yes, this is good. Firm and clear.
‘all right, I need time to unwind, which means today I’ll spend my pause somewhere else.’ and proceed to eat alone somewhere else. And if they pester yet again: ‘leave me alone’
How about just "Sorry, I don't feel like talking right now." except you say that every time like a broken record. They'll move on eventually since you never have anything to add.
I think it's hilariously naïve. The comments will be scraped anyway, and there's nothing you can do about it
Win11 was forcibly installed on my coworker's computers. This happened more than once. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1607264/why-is-my-windows-10-pro-system-automatically-forc
What if you needed to use a VPN between May 1 and May 14? https://www.pcworld.com/article/2320535/microsofts-newest-windows-update-breaks-vpns-and-theres-no-fix.html
I guess I hallucinated my computer restarting by itself on multiple occasions due to Microsoft updates, even after I disabled the services, before I nuked every sign of it from the registry and the reboots suddenly stopped. Crazy. https://superuser.com/questions/1277757/windows-updates-forcibly-rebooting-my-pc-at-night
Copilot appeared with regular updates on my sister's computer, unprompted. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/why-is-it-that-you-install-software-i-never-asked/a4fce101-b9e8-4d10-9c15-1f8350004e09
There were easy to find examples of everything that I said, some of them happened to myself, my family, or my coworkers. If you're going to be blatantly wrong and easily disproved then maybe you shouldn't go on after all.
Eeyup, same exact situation here. I leave my work computer overnight reencoding video pretty frequently, and would lose so much productivity due to restarts I didn't ask for.
To run as System and prevent permission issues from wagging its finger at you and saying "nuh uh". Yes obviously you can open Services the normal way if it wasn't windows update BS
Download and install sysinternals suite: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite
then run:
psexec -i -s services.msc
and disable Windows Update, Update Orchestrator, and WaaSmedic if it's there.
Alternatively, do the same psexec but regedit instead of services, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services, find those same services I listed above, change the Start value to 4 to disable. I went to the next step and neutered all the registry entries for each of those services to make sure they stayed dead.
What do you have against windows updates?
Forced windows 11 upgrades, breaking VPNs, breaking recovery partitions, intentionally targeting and breaking the win10 start menu for win11, installing unwanted software, enabling ads, adding additional telemetry, adding half baked AI nonsense that nobody asked for, restarting without a prompt and losing progress or canceling a running program... Should I keep going?
I do love the whine of the drive units when going full throttle on EVs, it reminds me how much current is surging through those wires
Think of the nicest sound you know. A well-tuned instrument performing a delicate melody, a passionate singer performing their heart out, a cacophony of songbirds. That's what my good noises sound like when done right.
Obviously nobody wants to hear a fart can Honda Civic at 4am, but a fantastically engineered Italian V10 has its own melody that can't really be replicated otherwise. These examples will be missed, and the survivors will be sought after like a vintage violin.
