Fuck haggling. I set a lower price because I want something in good condition gone and would rather it be used than go to landfill. Set a price and that’s it. People want to haggle on marketplaces because they either have nothing better to do or resell. Don’t be a party to it imo. Makes it much easier because you ignore tyre kickers who obviously don’t read as well.

Having grown up around similar dipshits, I can definitely understand. It happens.

You two didn’t even have to read the article it’s in the OP about Palestinian Christians. Your reactions are also to criticise Christians instead of “checks out for Israel’s regime”? They’re also Christians in Israel. Assuming everyone in a religion is fundamentalist/extremist would sure make you fit in with the Israeli government ironically enough.

I don’t think this is right to repair tbh. You can’t repair the SSD in this state? You’re not going to go in and repair any of the NAND modules. What you refer to as “nannying” is to stop what an overwhelming majority of end users would do. Which click “ignore” after not reading the message informing them the SSD is pre-failure and then losing all their data when the drive fails. A good majority of users aren’t anywhere near as tech savvy enough to understand what’s going on. The drive effectively being unusable prompts them to replace it while they still have the ability to remove data off of it.

Yeah I noticed that seemingly artistic liberty as well. Still an odd position for Bernie to take if this article is to be believed.

Hell yeah, love me some DZ Deathrays, need to go see them at some point.

Nice, I’ll have to check out that site. As much as I wouldn’t want people fucking with airbnbs. Especially not in way the videos comments mention, no sir.

A class with an oddly high amount of women have all been made aware that you’ve pulled out a sketch pad in English class.

Man that is some bad subtitling. TL;DW? Is it just a worse version of lock picking lawyer? I guess it isn’t a great idea to secure your property with a $40 Bunnings lock if so. Still surprising that one of those common locks can be defeated by a metal shim. I lost the key to a small lockbox I bought from Bunnings and “picked” the lock with the thin end of a zip tie. Criminals must love Bunnings based security.

Yeah was the same, really enjoyed NV, played it to completion a bunch of times with mods. Never finished 4, story sucked, guns were boring and hated the voiced protag choice. Probably got half way through twice. Each time just got bored of it and stopped. The last time I played NV I still look forward to getting to parts of the game despite having already seen them multiple times (Graham, Ulysses, big MT).

I don’t know, all the characters just sucked in 4 or were unremarkable. Valentine might be the only exception I can recall. The main bad guys are largely absent until you find out the kid you’ve been searching for is running them. Also your genius kid dumps out super mutants and skin walking robots and can’t work out why the entire wasteland hates the institute. So much meh.

Hmmm I wonder why? Could it be aggressively sending warships around the country? Interrupting flights by conducting live fire drill between Aus and NZ? The history of belligerence? Guess we will never know.

Self promotion isn’t allowed; kindly stop spamming this AI rubbish.

The end product image is AIgen. Couldn’t even cook and present their own meal for this “blog”. The call to action is literally called call action as is the SEO shit. Could not have been less effort put into this if they tried.

So AI generated thumbnail, AI generated article and click bait (and likely also AI generated) title. All pointing to your own site (by the looks) to get clicks. Nice one.

If the software was designed without continuous input from the frontline users, they will struggle.

A doctor in my country coded his own practice management software and now it’s the leading PMS in the country. I like to assume it went something along the lines of “fuck this shit I’ll just code my own rather than keep using this trash”.

They treat you so poorly in these programs, it would be called abuse in any other field.

Maddening is right on. The fact the so much of the old guard has the “we suffered through it so now you should too” mindset as well. More than once during my brothers residency a senior doctor has attempted to throw him under the bus as well. Credit to them because it’s a solid “no thanks” from me.

This raises a lot of good points. My brother went through the medical program and probably did more study in his undergraduate/post grad than id be capable of in a lifetime. The workload they do just to get their degree is insane.

I’m in a similar camp having been around computers and tech since I was a kid. I think people under estimate how much age can factor into your ability to learn new things. We grew up with computers essentially as they became main stream and rolled out into schools/libraries. My parents got physically assaulted by adults in school if their cursive wasn’t up to par.

So not only were they entering adulthood/adults by the time these devices became mainstream but their entire life they were trained for a different skills/mindset. Sure some of them jumped on (I randomly have an uncle who is a farmer out in rural Aus who gave us CD-ROM games as a kid). The rest had no incentive initially and how much time does any of us have to learn a new skill outside work? Then they realise it isn’t just a fad or something just for taxes and are immediately behind the curve as it rapidly progressed. Doctors still use faxes here, write handwritten notes extensively, use prescription pads and would probably use pens/pencils exclusively if practice management software weren’t so useful. Plus think of how much Windows alone as an OS has changed since 95, let alone all the office suites, web and hardware that goes along with it.

Don’t get me wrong I also catch myself thinking “shit you'd think these people would learn the fundamentals of something they rely so heavily on to make money” but also think they deserve a bit of understanding too. We got lucky we grew up alongside it.

Hey, I just wanted to say I’m really sorry you’re going through this—it sounds incredibly overwhelming and isolating. I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be to feel like no one is on your side or even willing to listen.

When things start to feel like they’re always connected or targeted at you, even if others don’t see it, it might be worth checking in with a doctor—just to rule out anything physical or mental that could be amplifying your stress. Stuff like sleep issues, environmental things (like carbon monoxide as already mentioned; there was another users whose dad went through super similar because of CO poisoning), or even long-term anxiety can really mess with our perspective sometimes.

That doesn’t mean your experience isn’t real or that people aren’t being awful—it just means it might help to have someone supportive and objective help you sort through it. You don’t deserve to feel like this alone.

I’ve not used it extensively but never had it crash and it’s also undergone several large patches in recent times. Give it a go, it’s free after all.
