It doesn't seem to work that way.

The article is essentially a "day in the life" kind of thing, describing how the guy went about understanding how records were set and finding out that it was impossible without cheating.

This was true maybe 20 years ago.

I've been using Linux as my daily driver for a bit longer than that and it's only been recently in the last year I've come across two issues that are preventing me from doing what I want.

Edit: now only one. I solved one of them just now.

I'll just wait for John Oliver to give me a run down on the next episode of Sad Things told by a Comedian so You Can Feel Briefly Good Before Crying Yourself to Sleep.

I've posted this elsewhere in similar comments. The value of Amazon has shifted from "buy anything" to "buy something that's annoying to find".

Unfortunately local brick and mortar stores are to blame as well.

Say you're looking for a 3-ring binder. You likely know where to go for it at your local Walmart. You aren't tied to a particular brand (or you are) and it doesn't take you long to find it.

But now let's say you're looking for something small like car wax. You're not sure what you need. You'd think it's in the care care section but you're not seeing it. The Walmart app says it's in aisle K44 and your in, what the hell? Z4? Map does you no good. And when you get there there are so many small products that you can't find it.

Amazon has done studies and the majority of shipped products weigh less than something like 5 pounds. People find Amazon search better than the in-store experience.

Walmart, and most B&M stores unfortunately have no incentive to change because they want you to browse. For Walmart, it's basket size (items per cart) whereas Amazon is the speed of checkout.

Bleach. Their dear leader told them to drink bleach.

I believe Steven Crowder is on this train. His wife left him due to his verbal abuse.

She should call him a whiny little bitch.

His followers don't care about his draft dodge. But they will cry about Trump being called a little bitch boy.

It's always "Immigrants stole your job" and never "The CEO hired an immigrant instead of you".

I have a breeding kink and ...yeah, might have to add this to my rp prompts.

I sort of agree with you. It's entering "That One Joke" territory.

I think the reason this joke gets so much play is because it annoys the Republicans and it's been a long time since the Democrats have been able to rally around a joke that annoys them.

Sort of like zippers on couch cushions.

Or so I imagine.

I mean....if you don't want people asking questions about your military service, maybe, just maybe, don't question the military service of your opponent.
