    Helping my mom buy her first laptop. So we are in BestBuy looking at laptops when sales guy comes over to help.  Mom tells the sales guy she needs a new laptop as she is going to a Red hat convention.   Sales guy spends the next 5-10 minutes thinking that my mom works for Red hat (the software company) or that she is a hacker. Mom is oblivious to this and is talking about the Red hat as in old ladies in purple clothes. Then there is me trying not to laugh my ass off as neither one catches onto what the other is talking about.

    JohnMc45 got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in A portable blender manufacturer using Apple laptops to explain power consumption   
    It's marketing wank. They are trying to infer that there little battery operated blender is as powerful as a big wall power model. I think they are normally advertised as around 1500w
     
    Watts are commonly used as a measure of a motors power.

    So their blender runs great for half a second then throttles and slows down and won't chop a wet tomato?

    JohnMc45 reacted to kaiju_wars in Hurricane dorian man made?   
    Only when it happens to their frogs.  Just like the vaccines I tell you!
    And because of these slower, weaker winds, this proves the earth is flat.  A round earth would have 140mph winds.  But you know what flat earth has?  That's right, nine letters.  You know what else has a nine in it?  2019.  
    2019 - 9 is 2010.
    You know what happened in 2010?  That's right.  The ROKS Cheonan sinking, which Hillary Clinton, then secretary of state for the US, announced that North Korea sank.
    Hillary Clinton is in the illuminati.
    What does the Illuminati have to do with Hillary Clinton and Hurricane Dorian?
    That's easy.  There's 14 letters in Hillary Clinton.  There's 15 letters in Hurricane Dorian.
    15 - 14 is 1.  There is one eye of the Illuminati.
    There's two words in Hurricane Dorian.
    2 minus 1 is 1.  Again, one eye in the Illuminati.
    Therefore, Hurricane Dorian is Illuminati confirmed.

    JohnMc45 reacted to RejZoR in Titanium Apple Credit Card reportedly very sensitive | Say goodbye to Jeans and Leather wallets   
    People also have this misconception that TITANIUM is this indestructible metal. It's really not. It has certain cool properties like lightweight for its strength, it's hypoallergenic and very anti-corrosive, but on a hardness scale it's about as tough as stainless steel. Meaning it'll scratch, dent and bend about the same as stainless steel. And if you give it a matte finish it'll work like a sandpaper. Which is why it gets all messed up in jeans and leather wallets. If they made it polished they'd fix those problems, but then it would be a smudge magnet and you'd see all the scratches on it instantly from kilometer away.

    You are going through a breakup with a significant other and you know they have some of your passwords and have used them before. What idiot doesn't change there password? Worked at NSA. Quick someone go see if you can log into the NSA with Password as the Password.

    You are not actually suggesting that people do something. All current society asks is that you get outraged and make people aware. Then you can go on with your day and feel good.

    JohnMc45 got a reaction from goto10 in Raspberry pi 4 for TV and retro gameing.   
    Not in a rush. Probably hold out for a 4gb model then. 
    Can't remember who makes it or where I seen it for sale. But someone makes a proper CPU cooler for. Heat pipe fin stack and little fan.  
    I might do that for home as I can probably build something out of parts on hand. But will be much bigger then the Pi already have to much stuff in and around the TV stand.
    Second would be nice to travel with it sometimes.

    What about a video full of fun projects to do with a Raspberry Pi? 
    Such as...
    -using it to watch movies and tv
    -emulating games
    or do a sort of "Pimp my Pi" where you could try to build the most insane raspberry pi setup sort of thing???

    I think this can be summed up as. We believe in your right to say dumb shit, but we also believe we have a right to hold you accountable for your dumb shit. 
    So the correct response to inciting a riot is not to ban them from Facebook, but to arrest them for inciting a riot.
    Same as there correct response to threating violence on campus if you don't get you way. Should be.  Don't come crying to us when campus police pepper spray your dumb ass.
