Dear @steelseries.com , I am once again asking for GG to remember that I have headphones as my desired device after a Windows or driver update.
Sincerely,
Someone who gets agitated that it can't do that simple thing.

The heat death of the “free” and open internet is taking quite the brutal path, following in the footsteps of Netflix and the like. Everything will have a subscription and thus, everything worth visiting will parish. RIP @tomshardware.com . They may have to, but that doesn’t mean it’s good.

That wind hit out of nowhere. The first thing I heard through my headphones was the wind hitting. Just, boom, wind. #MN #TwinCities #Minnesota #Storm (possible #derecho )

I've hit my old man phase where fireworks being shot off by neighbors cranks my bloodpressure.
That, and the current state of the goddamn country isn't helping.

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

This Saturday, over a thousand pro-democracy rallies are happening across the country. And in D.C.? Trump is throwing himself a $45 million birthday parade, complete with tanks, helicopters, and military fanfare.

Dear @discord.com ,
No, I don't want ads in Discord. I have been a Nitro subscriber since the day it was available in the US. I will cancel my Nitro if I see another one of these.
Absolutely dumb.

I kinda wish I had a need for a GPU right now. The 9070 XT might just be AMDs rise to being an even stronger competitor. If AMD releases something that can rival my 4090 I might just consider it.

I had garlic & herb cream cheese on my bagel earlier and now everything I drink has this slight garlic overtone.
