This string of jokes requires patience. Tune in tomorrow for part 3.

 

Open the door, remove the elephant, put the giraffe in the fridge, then close the door.

My favorite band is Enter the Haggis. I'll give you a couple choices:

Swallowed by a Whale - one of their newest.

Gasoline - one of their most popular ones, a bit country-leaning.

To the Quick - a solid instrumental.

If you're browsing for torrents without a serious adblocker... why?

I already have to do this. My office wants everyone to use the MS authenticator app, won't run on LineageOS. Even if it did, I wouldn't install it, but still.

Ended up making them purchase a hardware security key for me instead.

 

It's okay, though. They told me to reapply every few hours.

Tilt your head 90 degrees to one side. Bam! Now it flips up and down.

My banking app is fine on it. It won't run Microsoft Authenticator, but if my company wants me available, they can buy me a separate phone.

Google--not really a fan of the company, but the Pixels have been solid for me. The cameras have always been great, and weirdly, the bootloader has always been easy to unlock (I'm running LineageOS on my Pixel 7), so you can still get some modicum of privacy if you like.

Capitalism. Specifically, the stock market. IPOs make good companies into bad companies.

Being owned by stockholders effectively removes any amount of "human" in the company's choices and direction. There becomes a single goal, to which everything else is sacrificed: make stock prices go up in the short term. The C-suite execs will say all sorts of other shit, but any appearance of accountability or altruism is solely geared to making more money at any cost. Any leadership with a soul will be forced to either give up trying to be "good", or they leave.

 

Bonus points if someone warned you and you went ahead anyway.

 

It was founded by a group of monks from the southern USA. Rather than building a chapel, they chose to live in a series of underground tunnels. The nearest town only saw the elusive monks once a year, when they would break their usual stoic diet and make traditional southern fried chicken for everyone in town.

They were known as the deep friars.
