@npub1aka…zzz2 when I read folks posting "both sides are the same" I just don't know how they come to that conclusion. the only thing I can think of is that they're saying no one party or politician gives them every goddamned thing they could ever want so they're the same. which makes me want to reach for a baseball bat.

I'm really hating the general trend toward the venn diagram between foods I like and foods that cause me trouble is a circle.

@npub1aka…zzz2 I try to do the same thing. I live in my American Giant T-shirt and sweatshirts. Spendy, yes, but last for frickin ever.

I will never, never pay again for Ultimate support from Lenovo. This has got to be the worst service I've ever had. Instead of same-day repair onsite, the technician broke my laptop and left it unusable for six days.
This was after the Lenovo call center pressured me hard not to get onsite support--which I paid for and they tout as a benefit--and send the laptop into a depot. And when I say pressure, they held my repair ticket for a day while a supervisor approved the onsite visit, again for service for a covered laptop which I paid for. The phone tech squirmed when I told him that's what I wanted, and he let slip that the supervisor was pushing for depot support "but I already told him you refused."
This is so nickel-dime, low rent asshattery. I'll just keep my money next time and just expect to send it in and be without it. After all, the only difference is that my broken laptop is here and not in transit somewhere.

@npub18c7…er9d I had that happen on Ubuntu derivative Linux Mint. I YOLO powered off and restarted, and it seems fine.
