I went back to Win10 at work because file explorer on Win11 was unusable. I'm not waiting a half second every single time I enter a subfolder.

and even worse in a OneDrive directory, often a full two seconds

that wasn't the only issue, but it legitimately prevented me from being able to do my job, because I needed to be able to multitask on several projects at once. what used to be a two minute turnaround on a question somebody would ask me became hours, simply because I could not navigate to a directory in fifteen seconds and check a file quickly. and oh god the file explorer crashes

unfortunately I still deal with a bunch of that on Win10 now, because they somehow introduced that behaviour with greater frequency into Win10 in the past year

so he's at most a centrist from that information

the worst mess I've ever had to clean up from a dog was when she puked up dog shit. and I've unfortunately cleaned up a lot of diarrhea and puke due to these sensitive assholes lol

that was disgusting. I'm usually fairly good at detaching from the grossness of the situation, but something about scooping puked up dog shit into a dust pan nearly made me vomit

the weird thing is our poop-eating dog isn't the one that's food motivated. she sometimes has to be coaxed to finish her meal before she lets the other dog in to check if there's any leftovers. it's not like she's hungry. she just sometimes sees poop in the yard and thinks 'yeah I should scarf that down before somebody notices'

they both eat rabbit poop and grass, at least rabbit poop isn't problematic I guess

oh thankfully I don't have to wait for it to happen later, it's a struggle to make it outside — once they start, it's happening. I'm just happy if they puke on the hardwood and not on a rug. been thinking about trying to teach them to puke in the shower

friggin' bastards beg for dinner as early as possible but then puke in the morning if they haven't eaten in the past 14 hours

yuuuuuup

if I choose to actually get up when I wake up naturally at the right point in the sleep cycle but it's 17 minutes before I want to wake up, I'm sure awake in a second or two

if I choose to ignore that and go back to sleep for 23 minutes, then it takes a few minutes to fully wake up nowadays

if my dog is standing on my chest making a hoarking sound, I'm out of bed on my way out the bedroom door yelling at her to follow me before the other one even gets up

lol

they just keep piling on justifications for switching away

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 weeks ago

yeah I usually go work out while it's running lol, or do some yardwork or something

rely? no

find it a useful assist? yes

the Roomba can:

  • get under couches that my other vacuums cannot

  • deal with 90% of the average mess (dog hair and miscellaneous crumbs) without my input

  • pick up the little bits that you can never manage to sweep into a dust pan

  • do this within about 10-20% of the time it would take me to do it myself

things it cannot do:

  • vacuum carpets

  • get into corners

  • deal with large messes

typically, I will sweep crumbs and crap out of corners into the middle of a room. I do this all the way around this level of the house in under two minutes, which includes picking up the large clumps of fluffy dog hair that have accumulated along the walls and tossing them in the garbage and putting the broom back. I can then run the Roomba, and the only thing left to do after is brush/vacuum the carpets & rugs well.

I also like the mopbot thingy because that definitely takes less time than doing it myself

you are being oppressed. do not resist us. you will be freed from your oppression.

*I grew up similarly to you

that's an excellent move

stuff like this makes a real strong case for taking guns away from everybody
