@QNAP_nas I deactivated licence & deleted QNAP account. You invoiced me for 2 McAfee licences. Can't create a ticket because my account has been deleted. Your chat service refuses to connect an agent and just repeats create a ticket. So now I have to dispute these with my CC

@FauxyFoxSATIRE @Magnum20071 @Rothmus Jaye Davidson was amazing in that role - my S.O. realized right away because of their hands, but I didn’t see it coming until the last minute 😢 A well deserved Oscar nomination.

@Magnum20071 @Rothmus it would definitely be a crying game ~ 😭

No.

@stevepicray @Rothmus 🫂 I understand because I had the experience in 2002. I expected better from the church we attended 🤷🏼‍♂️

In 2009 my wife and I had a miscarriage at 4 months gestation. Most people would say "No, your wife had a miscarriage" but listen when I tell you that it felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I had no idea I would feel that way, but we cried together, and only those who had been through the same thing understood.

@SynchedLogic @DC_Draino Walmart remains open every year. You sound, how did you put it? Ah, yes, “uninformed”.

This isn’t special news: Many stores close on that day like Costco, Target, Sam’s Club, Best Buy, Macy’s, Kohl’s, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Walmart, Publix, Aldi, Trader Joe’s… the list goes on and on. You sound uninformed and trying to make it sound like companies don’t observe Christian holidays. You say anything for clicks.

Lowe’s will be closing all 1,700 of its stores for an entire day on April 20 Why? Because it’s Easter, the holiest day in Christianity, and they want all of their employees to spend that day with family Bravo Lowe’s👏🏼

@Josikinz There’s the beginnings of an enchanting philosophical sci-fi novel here. The character reminds me a little of the game Monument.

I asked chatgpt's new image model to script and generate a series of comics starring itself as the main character. The results genuinely gave me chills. I'll post them all in a thread below.

@tedwrichards @elonmusk But it does comprise almost all of the developed world that would form the USA’s nearest peers

@elonmusk 72 countries out of about 193. Not very persuasive.

Almost all countries have voter ID

FBI Director Kash Patel at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing today. What do you see?

@KalterWuhn @Azovsouth One of my all time favourite albums

@CodeMonkeyReadr @analystbarbie The rules are generally different in a Concors d’Elegance. We can’t show our 1969 Firebird convertible because it has after market power brakes to make it much safer to drive.

@analystbarbie I wonder about that with cars too

found a guy on youtube who restored a historic racing sailboat with extensive rot in the wood and consequently has to address the ship of theseus problem very literally to respond to commenters

@Bikery1966 Summer 1979, I did computer analysis (Filetab on an ICL 2900) of Oxford City Council’s traffic accidents to figure be which intersections most needed reworking. I pulled Thames Valley reports and time after time it was 4 wheels not seeing 2 wheels and hitting them.

The strange phenomenon of everyone in the UK hating people who ride bicycles, meanwhile everyone loves drivers who killed 1,607 people and injured 132,977 in 2024.

@DrAllyLouks And at the same time running a very successful Gin startup - Renais Gin, which is delicious

People keep calling me real-life Hermione Granger and they are neglecting to note that Emma Watson herself is currently studying for a PhD at Oxford. There’s your real life Hermione Granger.

@JeffBezos Jeremy Renner

Who’d you pick as the next Bond?

@_trish_07 I’ve spent the last 35 years finding faster ways to get it back out again ⚡️

@BipolarVix @PatrickJBlum I’ve tried all those including both brown and black bear, they are all delicious

@PatrickJBlum "The Sioux ate buffalo, bear, deer, antelope, turkey and hens." I don't see a huge market for that.

why have I never seen a Native American restaurant?

@FerragamoWx I would love to see this projected as a sequence over time, say be decade, to see whether global warming is driving any large scale trends on landfall location?

It's finally done. Over 3 days of hand-plotting 173 years' worth of data. The end result is unbelievable. What an incredible dataset to look at.

@davepl1968 Number of examples of recursion in the Oracle core database code I have managed: 1

Number of times I used recursion in production Microsoft code: 0 There might be deterministic special cases where you know you cannot blow the stack, but recursion is more one of those things they teach you in school before someone pays you to figure out how to do it without recursion.

@FredBoycott Pliny has entered the conversation and would like to remind everyone that Rome’s imperial maps correctly identify it as Septentrionalis Oceanus

I've signed an executive order...

@theroyalbadness My elderly parents got a speeding ticket in London (100 miles from where they lived) while their car was in for repairs. It happens.

Just found out my mechanic has been driving my car. I only found out because I got charged through my autopay for my EZ tag 30 min ago. 🫠🫠 32 rides lmaooooo

@FranckPachot @TripCase I have always preferred TripIt Premium over TripCase (which is what O travel was integrated with). TripIt understands OpenTable and a host of other kinds of appointments such as concerts

😭 @TripCase ends was a great app to manage trips. Any good alternative?

@oraclebase @connor_mc_d instagram.com/reel/CkXKK_Lpe… No, LOL

@RogerMacNicol @connor_mc_d Was it from steroid abuse?

People say Australia is dangerous but we don't have these signs in our national parks 🤣 #india
