I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.
  • Add in that as a teacher she likely has student loans to pay on... At least until she can get through the system and get on the public service repayment option. I think they were trying to improve it but last time I tried to get on it the system was less than ideal to work with

  • No common rube
  • I had one where yes everything was plugged in but... The power strips never plugged into the wall... They were just plugged into each other.

    That one turned out to be an annoying bit of cable management that I wouldn't have had to do if they would have just left things alone and let me handle the original ticket

  • What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
  • I bought a phone mount one, it charges quite fast and it is so much easier to place my phone in the dock and have it charge. It does get quite warm but that's easily remedied by pointing an AC vent to the back of the phone.

    Honestly it sounds like you got a low wattage one and yes those do charge much slower.

  • What's your biggest gamer achievement?
  • My favorite fps achievement took place in Halo on the Xbox. We did the thing to play online and during an online ctf match I was on point with the sniper rifle. The match was tied up for flag captures and we were in a stalemate for a bit. The other team managed to get our flag and were running it back. As I'm in my sniper spot trying to line up the shot they all jumped at nearly the same time right into my sights. I take the shot and head shot every one of them... Except for the flag carrier because they apparently jumped just a tiny bit ahead of the others and dropped just enough to go under the bullet.

    The entire lobby was going nuts over that last sniper shot. Even though we lost it was the talk of the match. The loss sucked but that shot was amazing. I quit playing for the day after that... No way was I going to top it so I left on a high.

  • April Fools Day is the dumbest holiday in existence
  • Cheers for the explanation. It's come up a few times in things I've watched and read but I never really got a clear explanation. Just some mention about legal technicalities... And it kind of got glossed over from there.

  • Clean energy could be 'closer than ever' after a nuclear fusion machine smashed a record
  • IIRC, this is a big deal because they are achieving more energy out than they put in.

    If I've been reading these correctly they are achieving it with tiny amounts of fuel and slowly working up as they achieve success. I'm seeing these as proof of concept and fantastic steps in the right direction.
