Where we going Aunty?

But isn’t there a blizzard coming with -50 wind sheer expected?
Sure, but duh hockey team needs us and it’s better than just sittin here. Besides, you’ve gone ice fishin in worse hun…
True story during the 1998 Blizzard.
I still sport my old Think Geek T-Shirt: ‘No I Will Not Fix Your Computer’ to family functions.
The IT guy plight is real.
When you said you were more likely to complain about -40, I just knew. I literally live in California, but my Dad’s family are from Park Rapids, MN. and avid UNC fans due to many of my family being alums.
100% of my experiences there were cold af minus temps like that.
the poster: [email protected] seems to have a history of spam crossposting it seems.
VERY annoying madeindex.
Grand Forks, ND and MN would like a word…
Scratch out Enron, replace with AI companies 
We’re on track for what several analysts said would happen prior to an AI crash around November to February.
When you get to that point, you really need to just hire someone and quit fucking around with shitty wifi enabled products.
Edit: Being less obtuse, if you really need such a niche feature, at least block it from having Internet access and restrict it to your LAN as there is sincerely zero reason that cannot be labelled as laziness for needing Internet access on a home appliance.
It’s in a vault along with Song of the South, King of the Elves and other titles Disney is ashamed of.
Asian Tiger mosquitos bite 24/7 and are found in many parts of the USA and EU now sadly.
Eufy has offline models like the G, L, and X series which come with a remote that you can do 100% of that from, no wifi needed.
I have family in Frankfurt und Bad Hersfeld, Germany who will absolutely agree with you, but this happened in the USA.
These guys were born in 1988, a time when movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Tootsie and and and were showing how men can be different; to be better. The lines between parental jobs were absolutely in the process of being blurred and their Dads were either idiots or unavailable.
If they’re 38, that makes them born around 1988 and their parents firmly in GenX (1965-1980) territory.
Yes, Boomers did that dumb shit, but Xer Men in general were ‘Metrosexuals’, taking on tasks at home originally only designated for wives and genuinely tried to parent.
As an Xer myself whose kids are nearly 25, I call bullsht on that lame excuse. They sound like shitty parents on both sides.
Were the respective fathers or anyone in the room when these babies were born?
As a father of 3, I can recall in detail what each of my children looked like at birth and could even pick them out in the nursery and NICU.
The fact no one even bothered to look let alone remember what they looked like at birth irks me to no end.
No point in letting a bad situation get worse… I’ll get the Tajin y Mayonesa!
Not like Nvidia cares, Jensen Huang and company are too busy having gold dust colonics and cashing in on their AI cards.
The true irony in all this is Taco Bell’s headquarters is in Southern California (as is Del Taco) where REAL Mexican food dominates them both.
California Burritos, Baja Tacos and Carne Asada Fries any day, all day.
Similarly, I ordered floppies for Slackware from Walmut Creek. Spent weeks screaming at my system for not being able to get a 256k Tulip VLB ISA video card to init into X before I found my first Linux BBS on I think DalNET… times were… different.
