    See, there’s your problem. If you work more. Say, twelve hours a day seven days a week, like I was just doing. You don’t get any chance to feel emotions, just sleep and work. It works even better if your schedule 7PM to 7AM. After a couple of days you don’t even really know where you are anymore.






  • I’m with you on this. I’ve been using openSUSE since it was SuSE Linux, and I still here bs on occasion about how they sold out open-source to MS. I’m not a huge fan of what Novell did back in the day, although it did end up costing MS more money. That said the opensuse community is not whichever corporation owns SLE currently, and they still contribute back to the community.








  • How about don’t use online markets, especially near monopolies. When I buy Carhartt jeans from carhatt.com I get them just as fast for the same price. I’m not worried about having to send them back because they are counterfeit, and I’m not putting any more money into Bozo’s pockets. We’ve gotten so addicted to the convenience were willingly participating in the exploitation of our fellow people for the profits of a leach. It not even as convenient as it used to be, even before you add in the number of products you have to return.


  • But you don’t always know you are getting what you paid for from Amazon. I bought a pair of Knippex linesman pliers, brand new in the packaging. Their main claim to fame is they use harder steel than Klein. To test this you try to scratch the Kliens with the Knippex and you’ll get a scratch on the Kliens, but the Kleins won’t scratch the Knippex. Brand new pliers in hand I tried this test and had the opposite results. I had been shipped counterfeits, and it’s not the first time I’ve gotten a knockoff product on Amazon.
