I’m the core demographic, I grew up with the books and a lot of friends are fans of the franchise so I do see a lot of stuff related to HP. I always post these kind of “memes” so my friends can see them and I tell them to stop giving money to JK Rowling at every mention of HP they make

You have not seen anything about the coming show, the universal Epic HP area and attraction, the theater play or the pop up events that they do in some cities every once in a while?

I’m reading “don’t let him in” by Lisa Jewel, it’s great so far, very intriguing (I also recommend “none of this is true” by the same author)

Last week I read “the road to tender hearts” by Annie Harnett and it was very moving. It touches very hard topics with a splash of humor to make it easier to digest

I also recommend anything by TJ Klune. His books are very wholesome, sometimes I just want an easy reading where everything is solved with hugs and love

Those wolves air dropped to Isle Royale paying a lot for their mortgages

Can’t you just upgrade to the next release? (It’s been more than 10 years since I installed/used Ubuntu)

How it’s going:

Wow she looks a lot like my cat down to the small white tips in her rear legs and the missing ear tip. Does she also have a white tip in her tail?

(When we adopted him about a year ago this white spot was smaller like your cat’s)

I discovered I sold my old PC with the HDD with mined BTC when compusa announced you could buy components with bitcoins, but tbh I think I would have used all of them when their value was still very low

I love HP and they were a big part of my life, made me enjoy reading and helped me a lot with English (and British) vocabulary. I still enjoy the books and movies that I already own from time to time but I cannot see myself consuming anything new knowing that it will give money directly to Rowling’s pockets to fund his trans hating organizations

I had to get one during covid lockdown since I wasn’t going to the office and staples messed up my jobs most of the time (and it wasn’t cheap). I got a laser all-in-one and got knock off toner from Amazon and it works great and I got it for less than $90

I had to allow a bunch of stuff in pihole because I wasn’t able to use Google flights or Google News and some functions in Gmail, the sites never finished loading

That was me playing Pokemon red. Got it without knowing a bit of English, took me a lot to realize that dialog was important sometimes and it took me several days to figure out how to teach and use the HMs. Later my dad got me the official guide so I could follow the pictures and use a dictionary to figure out some words

Not anymore, it stopped working a while ago

The second one is more generic, but I agree with the first one

My PC didn’t support boot from CD, so I had to use about 6 WinXP floppies just to load the necessary drives to install from the CD. Good times

I think we also had the Win 95 and 98 installallers somewhere although I learned how to do it when upgrading from 98 to ME

It works better with chorizo

There’s a woman I haven’t met in person but I have to send emails to about once a month to ask for something only her group can do

One time I did something like "could you help us get xxx report from your system by CoB? 😅 " and she replied that emojis could have a hidden meaning and are not professional and I should not use them in emails

Next time after she helped me I went to the greetings system we use and send her a public card for gratitute or team work with some gif of cute cats hugging. I think everyone had a similar experience with her because a lot of people liked the post and then they started doing the same

The worst part is that we have the option to give away points in the system that can be redeemed for gift cards but I’ve never seen anyone give her points, only cute gifs

Our performance was so great last year that the performance bonus will be 50% higher than usual. Meanwhile the company will reduce the headcount by 5-10% and they just announced that they will remove the free coffee to save costs…
