I’d also spend a month researching the exact perfect router

Every time I do this I come away disgusted with how trash most technology is and just how awful manufacturers are willing to make the experience just to get those precious data harvesting bucks. See also: this thread. Womp womp.

Well that sucks. I am guilty of really only following Risa, mostly due to big gaps in my watch history and wanting to avoid spoilers for the newer shows. I'm not surprised though... Reddit had (and still has) tremendous amounts of inertia.

Successfully pulling off a lift-and-move like that was huge. I wish more niche/fandoms had followed suit instead of staying put.

Oh, no mockery intended on my part. I was just trying to make sure all of the elements got equal representation.

I worked in a "datacenter" where the humidifier function for the HVAC unit was turned off because it leaked under the floor into an adjoining office when it was trying to humidify. Management refused to fix the unit due to the cost, and saw no issue with running the room with relative humidity in the teens all winter. Madness.

No thank you, I just ate.

This. I am in a solidly blue district. 4 out of the 7 school board candidates, ALL of the non-incumbents, were running on some sort of "family values" or "parents' rights" platform. But their statements to media were highly scrubbed because they know to tread carefully and avoid the dog whistles. One of them unseated an incumbent (and the only POC in the group) yesterday. I'm glad the trend is going in the right direction nationally. But I wouldn't call for a victory lap just yet.

"I was unsure of whether I could trust y'all with this info, but after talking with you a bit I think it's time to come clean." And then start talking about Second Impact as if it happened IRL and not in a famous anime. (Spoilers for Evangelion in the link.) There's already in-lore conspiracies and coverups to use as talking points.

I can’t think of a time in like 20 years that they actually had the thing that I went there to buy.

Like a few folks have mentioned, I bought my last two TVs there. If it sucks or it's a bad panel or I just don't like it, I just box it up and take it back to the store. No wondering if it'll get damaged in shipment or ganked off the porch (or take a day off and hope it's delivered when it's supposed to be).

They're also really good with getting in amiibo, but that's a super niche thing.
