    1. It showed up one day in your apple library
    2. You couldn’t delete or remove it
    3. The band’s stupid name stood out in any library due to it being short
    4. At the time you couldn’t get rid of the album. It sat there eating up memory space and the best you could do was disable the album from playing in shuffle.
    5. Thank you OP for reminding me about this. It took over a decade but I finally got that album out of a now empty music library on a device that sat unused in a drawer. At some point between then and now deleting the album from your library became easy. Back in the drawer it goes.







  • Why bring a laptop onto a filthy factory floor when the phone in your pocket does the same thing?

    “Hey boss we got a problem. Yeah, let me just try to fit your laptop with two cameras I am calling you with in this tight and filthy space in a broken machine to show you. Just one seconzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZzzzzzZZZZZZZ”

    … 2 minutes later a phone call:

    “Yeah boss I fried another one of your expensive laptops with two cameras. Yeah coolant and chips dripped on the keyboard again. No I didnt smash it between the spindle and turret this time. It didn’t fall into the chip conveyor brimming with coolant, lube oil, chips, and swarf either. Anyway, your machine’s still fucked up and now your laptop is too. I will hang up my telephone you do not pay for and text you pictures or video now.”

    Short of smashing it with the turret I’ve done all this to my phone that has 6 cameras. Shook and wiped the shit right off with a rag. A working machine most of the time looks exactly like a broken machine. If the boss can’t figure out what the problem is without it being a zoom call you’ve got a bigger tool problem outside the machine.

    I want to GIT GUD but I’m not the kind of person who can dodge and parry while managing a stamina bar. ER and DS games look awesome but I really can’t do much sightseeing in them. I tried Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 3, and Elden Ring and in all of them I hit a wall against the first miniboss who I should be learning to parry on. I’ve always leaned toward dodging taking priority before parrying and a stamina bar limits that.

    I recently played through Ghost of Tsushima and parried a thousand cuts. The game doesn’t have stamina though. I understand stamina as a game mechanic but find all it adds is tedium. There’s what I believe to be some good games hiding behind a stamina bar. I can enjoy the games until the stamina bar runs out and then I’ll be thinking about enjoying a different game.
