    I just hate the pollution, leaf blower is literally do not fully combust their fuel and some of the fuel is atomized in the exhaust. Which is why they have that distinctive smell because you are literally smelling the unburnt fuel. Given that the task is 80% of the time just a waste of time of people pointlessly blowing leaves in the direction they would have naturally ended up from the wind (not collecting or piling them just moving) and I get annoyed by it.

    Especially when you have those people that are out doing it literally every single goddamn week during fall. If it was an electric leaf blower then whatever the noise doesn’t bother me I’m just tired of fucking smelling it






  • It will never cease to amaze me how people don’t understand the law. No opening that mail was not a federal crime, if it’s addressed to the business building than it is considered property of the business even if it has a specific person’s name on it. They are fully within their right to open the letter, is it a dick move and are they assholes? Yes, is it a federal crime? Absolutely not

    I tried so many different office chairs, they all sucked. Even the more expensive ones. But the “secret labs” gaming chair was perfect. Gives whatever support my fucked up spine needs, has the right mix of cush but firm. And the little magnetic pillow is in the perfect spot. It was very expensive but worth it to me.

    Most gaming chairs are memes tho I’ll say



  • I’ve never really understood that argument. Most VPN software I’ve seen forces your DNS through the VPN as well which would bypass a public Wi-Fi’s attempt to DNS poison.

    I use a VPN anytime I’m not on my home network just because it’s a super easy way for me to force my DNS to my own custom DNS with Adblock listing on the machine that’s running the VPN endpoint.

    It’s wireguard, and it connects to a direct IP address. If someone tries to redirect or otherwise man in the middle of the connection wireguard will simply fail to establish a connection. Thanks to the fact that it uses a similar idea to pgp where the client and server already have each other’s public keys and there’s not really an unencrypted initial handshake even the initial talking has a form of encrypted communication thanks to the key pairings.

    So like, my vpn is definitely proving security. Whether or not every random ass VPN you can buy is smart enough to force all DNS over the VPN or anything else I guess I can’t say for sure maybe it’s not common and that’s why but it definitely can be used to help automate some security measures when using a public network
