I used to assemble products and when someone came in for a pickup we always asked for a receipt as it was the easiest way to find what belonged to them. If they didn’t have it we’d just need to look it up on the computer, no big deal

I was about 16 or 17 and guy comes in and says, “I’m here to pick up my X”. I asked for the receipt. He instantly blew a gasket “I’m no thief, don’t you dare accuse me of stealing, blah blah”. When he settled down I said I only wanted it to find his item easier, which of course started him on another shouting rampage. I was the only one in the department and I remember him shouting a lot and then had his finger right in my face. It was my turn to lose it, I told him if he didn’t get his finger out of my face and stop shouting I was going to kick seven shades of shite out of him. The commotion had caused other staff members to show up, then the manager came up. I told the manager I wasn’t serving him, find someone else, theres more chance of me breaking his nose than me getting his shit. I explained what happened out in the back store and the manager said it was fine, I heard nothing more about it

I had another customer lose it at me in the same place as he said good were faulty. I said no you broke it. He said it just happened. I laughed at him. He lost his mind. I didn’t GAF when I was that age. Manager replaced his product FOC. I laughed at the manager about that too

No, I’m not talking about having cruise control on in any of my comments. Just driving with the pedals myself

It was a company vehicle and if it was crashed, we’d have known about it

Of

They didn’t get the car brand new but it wasn’t very old. Perhaps the previous owner turned on the setting

I have been in the settings and adjusted it but in the end it was just easier to turn the function off

Its probably awesome on the Autobahns but its a danger on windytight roads that I drive on. Probably 3 or 4 times it braked on me when there was no reason to do so. There’s one bit near my approaching a roundabout and it beeps like hell at me to slow down at least 50% of the time. Fortunately I’m back in my own car now as I don’t need the automatic (I injured my left leg)

My parents gotba relatively new Merc and I’d to turn that auto braking off. Its far too sensitive and nearly had me rear ended driving around a bend. My guess is its picking up the retroreflective spots on the markings as there usually isn’t a car on that bend but the Merc is beeping at me like I’m about to be in a collision

The mice!!!

Or maybe Paulo

Have friend. Is artist. Headline act in front of +40K. Goes all over world doing festivals and stuff. Steals music. Encourages me to steal music. Laughs when I steal his music

How could a .MP3 file be malware?

How was Napster slower than any other P2P client?

Bullshit. The world’s a big place and your rules don’t apply here

It may be but until other options are available on a PlayStation, I doubt I’ll move. I don’t even watch stuff but the people I serve to need functionally on the PS… maybe they’ll get smart TVs soon

I can imagine the hysteria you were going through as an 7/8 year old experiencing Y2K. Glad you made it through

CTRL + Shift + Home/End will select all to the start/end of a document. I use that one a lot

Reminds me of back in the days when guys were doing stuff like that to get a better hit off their X

I gave him a dollar

I still catch myself doing this on occasion!!

A torrent client may need settings in the client changed, firewall rules changed, and ports open on the router. Even with all that a VPN could still have a limited connection. Some VPNs allow you control over this but I doubt free ones do

Things are changing rapidly but asynchronous upload/download speeds are not always offered by ISPs and uploading was always slower than downloading… used to be never but I’ve seen more and more ISPs offer asynchronous speeds

There are a huge number of factors that we don’t know that could account for your slower speeds

I had a brief stint in a shit hole during COVID lockdowns. This old dude started and it turned out his wife and the lady in charge were friends. He was one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met. He legit had someone else’s glasses on and didn’t know until the other guy was trying to find his. He said he thought it was weird that he couldn’t see properly. He also seen a few guys with face screens rather than masks and he wanted one. We told him you can get them from health and safety, so off he goes. Comes back and says they’re awful, you can’t see shit out of them. He hadn’t removed the protective covering…

I’ve worked with some apes in my time but I’ve no idea how this guy got so far in life without dying or something

But what about me?
