  • Check the full article (linked within the posted shorter article) and you’ll find this…

    "About an hour into the visit, a staff member approached someone on the security detail and “asked to encourage” the governor to leave, “as she had finished dining,” according to the statement.

    Since the restaurant has a 90-minute table limit, the security detail was approached a second time and asked to leave roughly 10 minutes before that time limit.

    As they were leaving, the governor’s staff said that a man allegedly yelled, “it’s time to go,” and then proceeded to make a crude hand gesture in the governor’s direction. The Croissanterie would say that man was a customer and not an employee."

    Yeah, she just found out, that not only do people disagree with her views, she’s also not special and not above the rules. Get gone, bye Felicia…




  • When I’m almost certain it’s a scammer calling, I’ll answer as professionally as I can as if I’m running a business…

    “Thank you for calling Ding Dong Double Dildos and Dirty Devices! How would you like to fuck yourself today?”

    They usually just hang up and remove the number from the call list LMFAO! 😂🤣

    I actually did this for my mom one day, scammers had been calling her left and right. She found it quite hilarious too, and by the next day, more than half the scammers quit calling 👍

    Edit: Merry Christmas! This is how you fuck the scammers…


  • Nah, they mailed all their customers, informing everyone that once they finished upgrading their infrastructure, that they would triple every customers’ internet speed for no extra charge.

    Then, as everyone waited in hope, within like 6 months they renamed to /Sparklight, and that 100Mbps > 300Mbps upgrade they promised disappeared like a fart in the wind, plus /Sparklight ended up eventually increasing customer bills anyways, without any performance increase.

    Honestly I think that’s exactly why they renamed, just because they wanted to back out of that promise, but didn’t actually have the fine print to legally back out.





  • If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.

    But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.

    Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.

    The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.



  • As a one time only event, as a first and a last, I wish I could go back and change the last words I ever spoke with my late father.

    In the hospital bed, he was fussing at me because I told him that I was cleaning trash and old food from his house. I didn’t expect him to fuss, I was only doing the right thing ya know.

    He passed away the next morning in hospital. I’m still sad to this day that our final conversation wasn’t more positive ☹️😭
