  • Happened to me at work where they force us to use Windows 11. I had turned on the autosave feature on a Word document I was working on. Little did I know this meant it stopped saving the changes locally and started saving them on a OneDrive copy. I then worked all day on that file.

    The next day I notice the file on OD, find it odd that it is there so I delete it because I want nothing to do with OD. I then open the local word file and realize that none of the work I did the day prior was saved.

    I figured out what happened and fortunately the file was still in the recycle bin. But fuck that whole system to begin with. It won’t even let me use the autosave feature locally.



  • Here’s a shower thought I had over how stupid this situation is: Had she actually tried to run him over, there is a chance she would still be alive today.

    Here’s another shower thought: Some say that if the ICE agent feared for his life his actions are justified. But nobody seem to care that the soccer mom who was just coming back from dropping her kid to school was also fearing for her life when some ICE officer aggressively tried to open her car door. And also why should we tolerate ICE agents carelessly creating avoidable situations where innocent bystanders fear for their life to begin with? Sometimes those situations are downright created purposefully to give themselves a pretext power trip over people, even up to shooting someone and it looks like it could be the case there.


  • An invasion for a hostile place like that would be extremely reliant on supplies. Running out of supplies means rapidly becoming completely unable to fight and probably even freezing to death.

    Ships would be vulnerable to submarines and arctic ice. The US would have to rely mainly on its air power but the weather there can make it extremely difficult, if not impossible for long periods of time. It is also extremely challenging to distribute those supplies on land over long distances.

    And that’s even supposing that your soldiers even know the basics of how to survive in an Arctic environment like that or they’d just die on their own. And having done some cold weather exercises with Americans, I can tell you that the vast majority of them don’t stand a chance against the elements. Leave them there to their own devices for two days and the survivors will be surrendering to the locals in exchange for a warm place to be.

    Really, a place like that has many, many ways to make an invasion go wrong.






  • It has an emergency vehicle light bar on top and those police-style hub caps so I’m safely assuming it is their security guards trying to pretend they’re real cops.

    Technically you could use that push bar to move a disabled vehicle… if you don’t mind causing expensive damage to the bodywork of the other car. This kind of bar is for when you want to use your vehicle as a weapon to pit or ram other vehicles and keep your own vehicle in functioning order. As security guards they’ll never do that.
