My concern is that when people get their implant from waIletmor it will have the same expiration problems me and others had with purewrist, where the chips they sell have 3 year expirations when they were issued, but by the time they reach the consumer 1/3 of that time has passed.

Oh for fuckās sakeā¦ I ordered three ferrite sheets from Digikey - you know, like three A4 sheets of paper, only slightly thicker than paper. UPS just delivered themā¦ in a 1ā x 1ā x 2ā cardboard box full of polystyrene peanuts.
This is shipped from the US no less. Itās fucking obsceneā¦

Industrial supplierā¦ Thatās possibly the smallest box they have.
I understand the rationale: having standardized box sizes shaves a few cents off the shipping costs. But when pure economics run so directly against common sense and the good of nature, itās still obscene. Iād rather pay a few dollars more to have a lightweight envelope thatās not full of useless plastic shipped to me instead.
In fact, I seem to remember having badgered Amal over the very same issue - too much useless packaging

There is a problem with shipping in that all parcels shipped domestically within the US or internationally from the US must be in a box. If you placed these into an envelope, it would be processed as first class mail. This is often cheaper, but also violates customs and import rules since itās a product and not paper (documents).

Alright then. An A4-sized box without 2 metric fucktons of polystyrene peanuts perhaps?
Surely itās not complicated if they try. Itās just that theyāre not trying.

HP used to ship license documents (single piece of paper) in a box a little bigger than A4 and about an inch thick. So it is do-able. But then they would ship 20 or so of these with a system which came in its own boxā¦ Still wasteful.
Completely stupid but amusing idea

Gee, if ever proof was needed that the police aināt the brightest bunch, here it is:
Not only are only 42% of the officers vaccinated, the other 58% are so damn dumb theyād rather resign than be āforcedā to get the shot (as if it was some kind of sentenceā¦ morons). But on top of that, the sheriff goes along with those shenanigans and refuses to uphold the law, because heās afraid to lose too much personnel.
LAās finest at its finest here ladies and gents. LASD proudly upholhing its sterling reputation. Great example for the rest of the population.

Apperantly the cashier told a friend, and they didnāt believe it.

I need to share a struggle bus
Iāve been using a raspberry pi with octoprint to control my 3D printer and what not,
My powerful laptop is right next to my printer, decided I should finally hook it up while I was working on some stuff
The beater light and all day laptop has been my previous go to
Go to log into the IP address like usual, and the nice computer wonāt connect
Try all the basic stuff
No joy so I try the diagnostic stuff, āyou computer appears correct, device doesnāt respondā
Next I try the more advanced stuff Reset the network, reinstall drivers, cmd ipconfigs etc
No joy
Old laptop connects, new laptop wonāt
Wife was trying to be a sounding board, so I demonstrated how the old laptop would connect
- new tab, type in IP address
ā¦fails
ā¦thatās weird, wait thereās a tab right there thatāsā¦still working??? F5 yep itās still connected but new tab wonāt workā¦ what the actual fuck
Then in front her of watching me, I realized I burned a couple hours, because I was typing 198.168, not 192.168
Fuck me, I would like to change characters please?
