  • SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Entra ID and M/O365 aren’t “stupid”. Your problems and complaints are the result of user error (although, to your credit, Microsoft in no way makes their intended use obvious or intuitive).

    Don’t take that as an endorsement of them or Microsoft. On a consumer level, you should actively avoid them all. I’m referring to people who have to use them at work and complain about intended behavior being “stupid” or “pointless”. If you learn enough about how it works, you realize it either makes sense or is simply a limit of “the cloud”.

    Fuck all of you ignorant assholes. Shooting another person is the last thing I ever want to do with any of my guns. That’s not why I have them, that’s not what I like to do with them.

    After the Hunger Games movies came out, there was a huge number of young girls taking up the hobby of archery because they wanted to be like Katniss Everdeen. Are you going to accuse them of penetrating themselves with their arrows while they fantasize about killing people? Of course not, because that would make you a sick weirdo.


  • Only if every soldier knows how to operate and maintain any kid of gun they can possibly come across, and only if they can magically build supply lines to move the right ammo to the right places without knowing where it all is ahead of time, and only if nobody booby traps anything. There’s a reason soldiers don’t procure on site unless they have to.



  • Yeah, that’s great and all, but consider the following:

    If I’m standing in the middle of a field and I need to measure sixty-ish feet for a fence, and I don’t have a meter stick, I can get pretty close by walking heel-to-toe for sixty paces. There’s no equivalent method for a meter and no metric unit that has a human body equivalent, while the most imperial length units all have human body equivalents.

    Also, even if I do have a meter stick, how tf am I supposed to measure and mark 0.288 of one? Sixty feet is easier to work with.

    There’s also the matter of a foot being equally divisible into 2, 3, 4, or 6 equal lengths, all of which also have human body equivalents. If you know them all, and measurements relative to other objects aren’t required, you can build things that measure up relative to themselves by just using fingers, hands, feet, marks, a square, and a straight edge, no ruler or tape required. I have projects close to ten years old built that way that are still standing strong.




  • He still gets drunk, forgets which guns are loaded, and puts new holes in his walls every few months.

    As a “gun person”, that guy is a fucking idiot. For one, alcohol and guns don’t mix. For two, the only loaded gun should be the one you’re ready to shoot. Leaving random loaded guns laying around is just asking for trouble.

    The more time you spend around guns, the easier it is to forget that people usually don’t get second chances. Every one of those negligent discharges should have been a come-to-Jesus moment about his habits. The fact that none have tells me he’s an accident waiting to happen.
