I donated a total of $430 to various Turkey/Syria focused charity campaigns.

Then I remembered - they're both muslim countries.

I asked for it back but IFAW, UNICEF and UNHCR all said no - cunts.

So I'm down $430 and only muslims benefited

Fuck
should've donated money to ukraine instead

Well I did that, I think if they crowdsource a drone the least they could do is put the user tag on the bomblets.

It would be nice to see 'Dilbert_X' disappearing down the hatch of a T72.

Really a whole lot of the IT stuff needs to be torn out, binned, and something consistent rolled out across the site.

Thats not even the worst of the IT problems by a long shot, the SAP guy needs to be put on a rack for a start.
Conversely, a lot of stuff IT could do or be doing to streamline company infrastructure/operations gets shitcanned by upper management.

Speaking from personal experience.

Stubbornly hanging onto hardware that occasionally needs wobbled to function and that nobody makes drivers for anymore. Just 'sign off' on an upgrade. FFS.

To be fair he never said he hated all musicals - just Cats - which he'd never seen.

I'm sure he reeee'd away to Gilbert and Sullivan for hours with his $900 earphones.

I'm pretty sure there's a paragraph or two somewhere where he hit the whole genre with the brush of disdain. There was no way he was going to like any version of Cats.

Fair enough, I guess. I don't mind musicals, but Cats is creepy af.

Keep an eye on that profile for an obit. It has been too long since he's said anything to Dilbert.

Are we just dealing with a new year's resolution?

He returned to the U.K. and immediately remembered why he left. He is learning Japanese as we speak.

In all seriousness he may be doing hard drugs again since he is back in the U.K. Struggling with addiction as we speak. Time for an intervention.

Then I can't wait for it to be explained in great boisterous detail (in response to something like a comment about a sushi bar) how he knows everything about where the Japanese culture is currently, Japanese thought, history, politics, and precision differences between Japanese and every generation of Japanese-American, after like a week and a half of residing there.

At least he'll be able to watch Dragon Ball without subtitles.

I wonder if he is genuinely sad about leaving that one girl behind. She was in most of his pictures. Only girl actually.

Fuck Daylight Savings Time

As somebody who works 2nd shift and stays up late, it's really depressing to see that extra hour suddenly disappear.

Also I got the PS5 today and after hours of trying out different games and whatnot, I decided to try a 4K Blu-ray disc and realized that the disc drive won't actually read any of my Blu-rays at all.  It will accept them into the slot after I eject them the first time, and then they still never start spinning once inside the drive, so now I already have to send it in for a warranty repair.  Everything else still works but I didn't pay a hundred extra dollars over the digital version for nothing.

Working nights is a tradeoff, I think. More or less left to your own devices at a lot of jobs, but everything's closed when you're up. Having the 24 hr grocery to yourself is a limited payoff.

I've been on weird shifts for 10 years(or a third of my life) now, it was 11PM-7:30 AM(3rd shift) from May 2013 until September 2021, and then 1PM to 9:30 PM(2nd shift) from then on.  I had a much better work/life balance on actual night shift, 2nd shift is horrible.

if it's not doing something it's supposed to be able to, sony will probably allow an RMA. something doesn't work right, better to get it taken care of.

imo - https://www.techradar.com/features/is-t … ray-player

I used an old version of the PS3s as my first blu-ray player until its disc drive broke down. replaced it with another PS3, and eventually a dedicated player. didn't cost $1k though. I don't know if there even were any $1k players at the store at the time.
