NAM

Deadly Nightshade is organic.

I can't give up my Stream Deck plugins. I don't trust that that Linux port thing supports all the plugins I use.

Thank you for giving me 3 huge reasons not to switch, cause I've been a bit tempted lately.

In recent memory I've gotten to explain the concept of Darmok a few times to friends that are either on the fence about starting, or had just started watching TNG. That episode is so goddamn strong.

And the default of chili, mustard, and onions is pretty un-fuck-with-able. If I wind up going to get my hair cut tomorrow, I could go for a couple double dogs on my way out.

What was the single thing I did that had the last direct impact on myself, that had the greatest lasting impact on anyone else?

Things like spending the extra time one day making a cup of coffee made it so this specific person was stuck behind my slow-ass speed limit driving, averting what would've been a multi-car pileup or some shit like that.

If they want a third option, I usually recommend Brother, and even more I tend to recommend used/refurbished. We just don't carry those in my store.

God, the amount of times I've had to explain the EcoTank vs HP math to customers in my store, and then STILL have them pick an HP is fucking baffling.

If the average user has to interact with a command line interface, EVER, as anything but a truly desperate last resort, with someone holding their hand the whole way through, they're probably gonna give up and never wanna look back.

A lot of people barely know how to copy and paste, or don't even know what the phrase "right click" means.

When I did some work from home training a year ago, I looked like a goddamn wizard for knowing how to manage browser tabs and put folders on my bookmarks bar.

TLDR: It needs to just work for people that don't know jack shit about using a computer, which in a lot of cases it just doesn't.

Me when I had to go to 3 gas stations last night to find one with a functional air pump for my tires, and the one that was working was not automated, and it even cost me 2 dollars for the privilege of reading that stupid analogue gauge in the dark.

The broken free ones were automated.

Also for the love of god, don't be sticking anything in places it could get lost without a flared base to keep at least part of it outside.

There are a few.

1, my Mavercade KeebBrawler-01, which has been pretty comfy for Street Fighter 6, which itself I can't count as my own best purchase since it was gifted to me.

2, Monolith M1070C headphones. They're the first pair of closed-back headphones I've ever had that I don't hate wearing for extended periods.

3, Final Fantasy 14. My girlfriend's been playing since its initial release, and some of my other friends collectively convinced me to join. In the last couple weeks I've already put somewhere in the range of 50 hours into it and it's been a good way to bond with everyone.
