The Dawn Breeze, perhaps?

Just tried it on Ask Jeeves as you suggested. It wasn’t very helpful:

And the point is that I’d rather talk to a human.

See, now I’ve learned something that I wouldn’t get from Google.

I don’t use Google. I deGoogled my life. Besides, if we just used Google for everything there would be no point communicating at all and thus no point in Lemmy. We could all just ask the Master Google questions, chat with it’s AI and stay locked in our bedrooms eating pizza sponsored by Google.

It used to be called Oil of Ulay here in the UK. When I went to Australia in the late 90s is was Oil of Ulan. Then one day I discovered it was Oil of Olay. I thought I was losing my mind and that this was a classic case of the Mandela Effect. Turns out it was just marketing, like Marathon becoming Snickers.

Don’t need any of them which is good because it saved me having to watch some shitty YouTube vid.

Go for it man. It looks awesome. I might actually save up and get one myself. Fuck pressure washers!

Ah, but with a drum kit you could join a band, tour the world and pick up lots of hot chicks.

With a pressure washer you might be able to clean a patio or two, earn some loose change and be constantly covered in mud.

Drum kit.

Pressure washers seem great ‘n’ all until you use them. Then you end up soaked, splattered and covered in all kinds of shit. I used mine once to clean a driveway and no longer wish to repeat the experience. I didn’t even bother trying to wash the clothes I was wearing as it would have buggered up my washing machine. I just dumped them in the trash.

With a drum kit you don’t even have to leave the house.

It’s always worked for me.

Satisfaction at making your asshole boss do something that he/she clearly didn’t want to do. Satisfaction that you made it as awkward as possible for them. You can also play the game of threatening to take them to an industrial tribunal for harassment. They might even give you a financial incentive to go peacefully. It worked for me on a couple of occasions and the bastards deserved it.

Make them fire you. I’ve done it that way loads of times when dissatisfied in a workplace. There’s nothing quite like being fired and out of work to make you get your shit together and find something else. Also, make a plan to become self-employed if you can. Having been fired loads of times I now work for myself and it was the best move I ever made. I no longer have to deal with asshole mangers any more and if there’s someone you dislike and don’t want to work for, you can either not take on the job or over-quote on the costs to get rid of them. Sometimes they’re stupid enough to agree to those costs, so then you at least feel satisfied about working for an asshole.

Yup. “The map is not the territory” as Alfred Korzybski put it.

2012!?

Holy Smokes!

I thought I was late by 2005.

My dog is better than all humans. There’d be no forgiveness. Only murder.

As a person living in Scotland I was initially perplexed why this was even a story. I mean, isn’t this what Americans do? Shoot each other all the time?

If the guy that was shot was a bum living out of a dumpster at the back of McDonald’s would this even be a story? And therein lies my initial naivety: this was a CEO of a company ranked 8th on the 2024 Fortune Global 500, and therefore a very important person indeed apparently.

Money talks and bullshit walks I guess.

As for the shooter, I haven’t really been following the story, but I guess he was someone who got fucked over by the health insurance company.

To me this is just box standard America: people shooting each other, fat folk eating too much, car chases, wars everywhere, idiots for presidents, corrupt companies. The kind of stuff that’s in every Hollywood movie.

As an outsider looking in, it’s kind of sad yet fascinating watching the most powerful country in the world fall apart.

That’s an expensive way to sway an election. If that’s the case, critical thinking abilities of the average Xitter user is pretty fucking low. Breaking News: Shepherd Herds Sheep.

Elon’s lost the plot. It’s a joy to watch.

Underpants are technolgy.
