The infinitive is the form of a verb that in English is said “to [x]”

For example, “to run” is the infinitive form of “run.”

OP probably meant “infinitely” worse.

Everyone has been in that space, and to OP’s credit, some folks react in a much worse way.

OP, you reacted in a way that may have looked odd from the outside but as long as this isn’t a weekly occurrence talking to your boss like the parent comment says should resolve things.

Meanwhile, consider that some people respond to the same situation by yelling at the person who asked, or throwing things, or otherwise becoming violent. You got upset and removed yourself from the situation, which is the right thing to do.

I know you’re being a little facetious but you raise a good point. As you start talking about a net worth more like 5-10 million, there’s a lot more people in that class. I think then it’s more about things like, do you have one fairly nice house, or one nice house and a half dozen shitholes you rent out, or a couple nice houses that you move between? Are you a business owner who pays well in a field that is profitable or are you the proud owner of a handful of subway or McDonald’s locations?

And the perfect counterpart is another rotund fuzzy tech guy, Steve Wozniak. The Woz, who isn’t a billionaire in part because when Steve Jobs decided to fuck over a bunch of Apple employees before the IPO Woz gave them some of his shares. Woz, who spends his time in part video chatting with elementary school classes and talking to them about technology.

As someone else pointed out a while ago, Dolly Parton isn’t a billionaire because she tirelessly gives away her wealth to the poor.

It’s not the same level, but there are other musicians who have fought to keep ticket price affordable for their fans, Minor Threat/Fugazi being the most notable but far from the only ones.

The way every billionaire is made: ruthlessly exploiting the working class.

Well, except REAGAN of all people, who told them to settle the fuck down on Lebanon, called it a genocide, and got the IOF to back off.

Ronald “AIDS is no concern, fuck the working class” Reagan was better on Israel than Joe Biden.

And Dodd-Frank was passed as a weak facsimile of the previously-repealed Glass-Stegall act that was written after the Great Depression and effectively prevented any major financial collapses for 70 years.

“Oops, now I read and write Hungarian. Can’t pronounce it for shit, though.”

I worked for Apple for 12 years, most of that as a liaison between front line hardware service locations and AppleCare engineering. Battery swelling is a normal Li-ion failure mode that is not related to leaving a device connected to its charger. If Apple had any evidence of that they would decline warranty service on swollen batteries based on the system report of how long it was connected to external power.

The Magic Mouse has the charging port on the bottom because the first gen model used AA batteries and not a built in rechargeable battery. When they moved to the rechargeable battery model, they didn’t want to redesign the whole thing so they put the port on the bottom. It’s bad enough design that Tim Cook uses a Logitech.

Battery swelling in lithium ion batteries occurs due to age, not leaving batteries charging. The battery is designed to stop charging between 95-100% and it has a built in processor to do that.

Regarding the power button and leaving the computer turned on, there are multiple reasons someone might want to turn a computer off when they are not actively using it.

Candace Owens and Dan Bilzerian as well.

To be fair I’m pretty sure Candace Owens is an antisemite first and a critic of Israel only because of that. Same with Dan Bilzerian, he apparently blames the Jews for the holodomor (the Soviet genocide against Ukraine.)

On the loudspeakers, nothing but snake jazz.

Glad my brain is cracked the same way as at least a couple other people. I saw the Venus of Willendorf as well.

Hopefully the absence of an algorithm pushing engagement at all costs will dispel some of it.

Do you have any insight into getting Linux to play nice with the different components of fusion drives? I have an old iMac and Mac mini both with Fusion Drive and after installing fedora or Ubuntu the SSD is seen and mounts fine but while the HDD is seen it doesn’t mount at startup despite setting it to mount at startup. I’d like to use these machines for some archiving and media hosting but that’s difficult if I can’t reliably access the much higher capacity drives.

The question was “what word or phrase annoys you,” not “do you understand this phrase.”

I know what the phrasing means, it still bugs the shit out of me.

“Not me” doing something.

Just say you’re doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that you’re doing it.
