Well we almost voted Renfoe out as president during the last convention for getting a DUI while in a postal vehicle so that tells a lot

It’s the same thing, cost of living is the inflation raise. We get regular raises every 42 weeks as regular carriers but even those are menial

Yeah but 1.3% raises? In this economy? Actual joke. They spent 20 months on this contract negotiation and that’s all they give us. The AC in the trucks was already in the works with the rollout of the NGDVs and the Metris vans they’re using as holdovers so that’s almost pointless.

My coworkers have already stated their displeasure with this contract so the members might vote against it.

I went to a Savers (local thrift store chain) about a month ago and they had a boxed Wii console in the glass case. It was used, not sealed, and they wanted $350 for it. I asked the guy if that was a mistake and he told me it was indeed the listed price. “I know for a fact this will never sell at this price because it’s been here for over a year.”

Some of these employees are just putting crazy prices.

At first I thought you meant quitting your Amazon job, not quitting from shopping there lol

Inspirational either way

Funny thing is, I don’t own a printer, so when I need documents printed I go to the local library. Their computers run Linux, and of all the times I’ve gone to get a print done it’s been an extremely flawless experience. No fuss, no hassle, just load up the document and print it.

Those goddamn Cloud People launching their attacks on the American way of life! It’s an act of war!

For anyone who doesn’t know, you can remove the Galaxy Store and any other Samsung bloatware you don’t want using ADB. Root isn’t required, but be careful when removing apps, you could accidentally remove something that’s a dependency on something else you actually use. For me I desperately needed to stop the constant notification from the Samsung Account app telling me to sign in to continue.

Yeah I tried getting it running on my Steam Deck and when the launcher kept telling me it couldn’t find Fallout 4 I just uninstalled them both. Not worth the storage space and hassle.

My gaming desktop has a 5950x, I can run virtual machines and all games just fine. No reason to upgrade.

My Plex server runs an Intel 10400, handles everything I throw at it just fine. No reason to upgrade.

My home theater PC runs a Ryzen 1700 and again, runs just fine. No reason to upgrade.

I think the newest CPU in my house is either my Steam Deck’s APU or the one in my PS5.

Yeah it’s basically a convection oven on wheels with the little rinky dink fan installed in them

I’ve used the old trucks in New Mexico, 140°F in the trucks wasn’t uncommon in the summer. It was a relief to get out of it and cool off a bit. AC will be great.

Yes, I’m 6ft and have to hunch over in the back of the LLV, or squat down while re-sorting packages. The inner compartment door is one of the best things about the LLV since the heaters suck and it helps keep the heat in the cabin, plus the ease of access.

I haven’t gotten to use one of these new trucks because I’m in a smaller office which will likely be one of the last to get them but they did try and get us the newer Metris vans which are horrible. No inner compartment door so you have to constantly get out and no adjustability to the mail tray.

I’ve got several flash drives from 2 different brands that are less than 3 years old that are already dying. SanDisk and Lexar, both large brands and they’re already losing reliability. Real shame that the older stuff works longer. I really only need them for making Linux bootable drives and they struggle with that.

Yeah I could do that, I initially thought of that but I’m considering switching to a Pixel to run GraphineOS. Something I’m still mulling over.

I’m just an idiot that tinkers with things. I’ve got a TrueNAS Scale system up and running as network storage and Plex storage. There’s about 44TB of raw capacity in there right now, connected via a server SAS card. I just follow tutorials if I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

Good point, launch the frozen demon core into the sun

Hey how about we put those the fuck back where they were and just make pretend viruses in Plague Inc. We don’t need to unleash the ancient virus that’ll make us shit our own brains out
