    Step 3. Put game away because you've already won.

    Paper is still the safest method to store your passwords.

    No software update, no operating system change and no hacker will be able to hack your piece of paper.

    And if someone has access to your piece of paper, you have bigger problems to worry about.

    Then bring your own plastic utensils everywhere you go.

    I want to avoid sugars as much as possible, so I bring sucralose-based flavors everywhere I go and ask for a glass of water. I'm vegan so I don't go to places that don't offer non-vegan options. I don't drink and I don't like loud music so I don't go to bars.

    Your situation is extremely easy to take care of, you're just too lazy to take care of it for yourself.

    You mean the tetrapak, the cardboard that's sandwiched with plastic making it impossible to recycle?

    Just because there's only 18% of it being recycled does not mean it cannot be recycled at all.

    The tactical advantage here will be small leaks (courtesy of Meltdown and Spectre and whatever else we haven't heard of yet) that are true and the occasional huge leak that's a ruse.

    Now imagine the Star Trek fans. They need a battery backup and a secondary backup.

    Why, you ask?

    GILORA: Starfleet code requires a second backup?
    O'BRIEN: In case the first backup fails.
    GILORA: What are the chances that both a primary system and its backup would fail at the same time?
    O'BRIEN: It's very unlikely, but in a crunch I wouldn't like to be caught without a second backup.

    And don't even get me started on legal, financial, or medical professions, where you need a professional just to interpret what the other professionals are saying...

    And yet we "little people" are supposed to read and understand paperbook-thick documents and sign them, binding us to whatever the fuck they say.

    At least with computers, you do not have to understand them, you can just use them.

    I would change that to "power led off indicates time to buy new widget".

  23. I don't think you understand. I'm using an Apple TV and the menus are always in the correct order.

    They're randomizing my list of things I've added to watch later, so sometimes something I added three months ago shows up before something I added five minutes ago. And when viewing the list and viewing more details about a movie/show, sometimes when I simply go back to the list it's randomized again!

  24. Why did I read your post with Stewie Griffin's voice?

  25. Netflix keeps doing the same thing to my watch list and it's fucking annoying.
