We had one in the lab though and just ignored it

I spend a portion every day removing tapes, shipping them offsite and inserting new tapes

Annoying but must be done

The pedals in her pickup have a switch that moves the pedals up and down even high enough for her lol

I went to a trades school which offered IT computer systems as a 2 year diploma. Fast track to a job back in the early 2010s. That path would never get you into IT today lol

The specific class I mentioned was windows system administration

My mom drives a full size pickup and all she does is get groceries with it, drives me mad

She says "it's safer" and "i don't like sitting on the ground" lol

This woman is 5ft tall

Good truck. I have a 2007 gmc sierra with the 6.5ft box with one of those grandpa style tall canopies and i have a bed and stove built in the back for adventuring

Drove from victoria bc to fairbanks alaska and it has 330,000km and it gives me zero issues (except the stupid fucking window switches, I've replaced the four of them like 3 times now)

My sysadmin professor told me to not learn about tape backups because they are going away soon

Like 3 years later ransomware was invented

Ya I hate that I have a truck because it makes me guilty by association but I like to go camping most weekends and it's just the best tool for the job in my opinion

It's black and there are scratches down both sides of the truck from foliage and shit which I intentionally don't buff out because I think it actually looks cooler being obviously "used" lol

Fun fact but on Vancouver Island these scratches are known as "BC pinstripes"

I mean agriculture is what enabled humans to take over the earth and then destroy it. Before that we were actually part of the food chain. At this point we would have to abandon it to save the human race otherwise mother nature will clean us up and forget about us.

Honestly I've never felt as grateful to be in Canada than I do now. But we are potentially in for some serious trouble soon too. Election in like 2 weeks and it's stressful af

You could also do this with metal band logos (that would fuck me up)

I have a BMW and I kind of need to defend the turn signal thing.

The turn signal design at least on my 2011 is a joke. It doesn't click down or up, it returns to center. The indicator arrows on the dash aren't super obvious during daylight. And you can't really hear it dinging if you have the radio on. It's really easy to think you're signaling but you're not and I've even been driving the same car for 10 years so it's not a skill problem

I fuck up at least one signal per day and I always feel bad about it lol

I'm in canada and eyeing up miele c3 but heard it's not great for carpets.

What vacuum should I buy for less than $500 cad? Are used vacuums a good idea?
