Yesterday my dad's truck broke down as I drove it to the beach to help with repairs. As I sat in the hot cab to stay out of the sun, taking measures sips of water, I kept hoping that bay12 would be back up this time.

Is it just me, or does that sound like the start of a novel, possibly a noir?

“The 12th Bay stood dark as my truck rolled to a stop. The broad that hired me - I was always a sucker for a pretty face and a sad story - told me that it was an easy job, one that would make me rich beyond my wildest dreams.

As the hours ticked by and I cooked slowly in my broken vehicle, I realized the error I had made. Number 504 by my count - I was always mindful of my failings - and I vowed to make things right...”

Hmmm. Have there been more outages than usual? Feels like there's been lots of downtime recently

I also feel like this is true

Had a problem running nVidia's garbage GeForce Experience program, which is all but required to download driver updates. That's not the WTF. I looked up and found someone had the solution - you had to go to the folder and run the .exe directly, rather than from the system tray. No, that's not the WTF here. The WTF here is the last post in that thread where I found the solution.

Hello, i want to know how you <username removed> do that. I thought you means "navigating" is copying the nvidia geforce exp folder into the nvidia folder on program files right? correct me if im wrong, after i do that nothing happens man

How do you equate "navigating" with "copying".

PRE-EDIT: Oh, I forgot you have to log in to their site through Experience to get driver updates.

 Back in the day you just shoved a disc on the tray and be done with it, or at most just download the darn thing from their website by a simple link on a table of products easy to find.

Of all the assinine recommendations I get from youtube, the most annoying and persistent are the '10 hours of XYZ' and the 'watch spongebob live' or 'youtube original show'.

- random chill stoner rock
- watch youtube original series 'orphan asks for patreon money'
- see a gamer stream live blackscreen
- 10 hours of somebody farting on a burning yuletide log



Some things I theoretically ask it to do, like watching one harvey birdman clip resulting in spam for other cartoons, or watching a video about political discourse resulting in antifa crap

Maybe the bills were getting paid late? I dunno how Simple Machine do though.

I'd figure service interruption from weather effects of one sort or another, really. Server got hit by a firenado or somethin'.

I thought Simple Machines is just a software distribution which is entirely separate from actually renting a server to host the site? Am I wrong?

Wow, journalists are really trying to tear down Tesla, it's like Opposite Day.

Tesla is selling so many cars that their delivery centers can't keep up, and they really need to hire more staff to cope. To read the articles, you'd think this is a bad thing, and journos are claiming it's going to wreck the company stock price. And they made it sound like the whole company is collapsing and that angry customers have the pitchforks out, when the wait to get your new Tesla car out the door is up to an hour.

Seriously, you can spin "we can't keep up with demand" either way. And 1 hour of someone's time to get a car they ordered isn't really that much, get some perspective media people. So many hysterical beat-ups about this.

I'm about half through an audio copy of Atlas Shrugged.  I'm absolutely mesmerized by it; it's brought me to incoherent babbling more than once with its incredible caricature of both sides.  I'm glad I'm stomaching it.


but Im reminded of it by a that post.

I read a synopsis online. Good thing it isn’t Fahrenheit.

Made me think twice on the virtues of capitalism, especially in a country which is having a lot of political turmoil around the amount of coal mining.

A friend of mine that keeps up with memes to an almost excessive degree informed me that there is a female version of bowser that is apparently some kind of meme.  That's not the wtf, though it is wtf worthy.  The wtf is that according to him nintendo's stock rose more after that meme took off, than it did when they did their last Nintendo direct.

Oh and he also tells me not to look that meme up, just in case I'm forwarding that warning to y'all too.

But if you don't look it up how do you know he's not bullshitting you?~
