I will always remember Creepshow (They’re Creeping Up On You). Though that’s less endearing than Joe’s Apartment.

I’d still like to cut his life into pieces.

It’s good for two things: De-greasing engines and killing brain cells.

All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead. Hey uh, you want a drink?

You don’t even need to make public yourself. City governments do it automatically, mostly if you’re a home owner. Other companies do it because they keep getting hacked.

Try it.

Go to your favorite search engine and type in your phone number (format it to look like a phone number). If you haven’t already gone through and had yourself removed from these types of sites, you’ll be appalled at what you find.

Fair point about not knowing McAfee if involved. But at the same time, it beats having your dev getting phone calls at all hours because McAfee’s devs were to lazy to ready the source file and learn how to change the freaking prefix of the file.

How is that irrelevant? The folder is literally called Temp. Doesn’t matter anything else. You said, and I quote, “The kinds of people who need this message, you would have lost the second you said “temp files”.”

Obviously not sure, given where the files were located. 🤦‍♂️

And of course they didn’t know what the files were for; probably why they went searching for it, and eventually found the contact info for Richard Hipp.

Me thinks you just want to shit on people for no other reason than to make yourself feel superior to them. 👏 Congrats!

You do realize that these people were looking up contact info from a company they found because they were … wait for it … looking at files inside the temp folder … otherwise known as … are you sitting down? You really should sit for this … temp files!

Imaging that. 😳 🤣

By the way, I worked technical support for my local dialup ISP, Adobe, Best Buy (before they were called Geek Squad), and OnStar.

But sure, what you said… 😉

If that information said something like “McAfee users concerned about temp files, call (800) 123-4567”, then yes. Did I suggest anything more than that? No. 🙄

Hm. The first hit on DuckDuckGo is a single entry for a guy and all it says is Contact the Business Inquiries.

You would think a better solution to this problem would be to put a message on that page stating that if you’re a McAfee user looking for information about SQLite files in your temp folder, to call the McAfee support line.

But hey what do I know, right?

This is why I detest the concept and celebration of “technically correct”. No, it’s not the “best kind of correct”, it’s being an asshole.

Replied to the wrong comment.

Thank you. As a layman, I don’t always see the bigger picture. I cannot recall the specifics right meow, but there was some sciency stuff I read about the other day and I was questioning why they would spend money on that, when there are other things to figure out. Maybe one day their results will help with something else.

Damnit I was going to post the same thing lol.

We’re all forgetting one important factor: quality over quantity. First of all, the whale doesn’t just sit in one place to broadcast their 80km calls. We can’t really say that about a marine biologist; who more than likely is out to sea and away from anyone else using Tinder.

I’d bet those whales are getting more action than that marine biologist, despite having a “shorter” distance on their mating calls.

Suck on that, you stupid marine biologist and your decade of education and training.

This is the right attitude more people should have. But all too often, when people are proven wrong, they genuinely believe that it must be the other person/group, because they cannot accept the emotional consequences of being wrong.

I know that I’ve had a hard time learning this because growing up I was never held to account for my actions on an emotional level. It was the 80s and 90s, and adults at that time would either shrug it off, or go straight to the nuclear punishment of corporal punishment. Never once would they sit down and talk to you about why what you did was wrong and how to do it better next time. I, anecdotally, believe that a lot of genx suffer this same way. They simply haven’t learned that there is a better way.

Your mama is like a shotgun. Two cocks and she’s ready to blow.

While my comment uses somewhat of an antiquated (and potentially toxic) expectation of “manly” behavior, I was attempting to paint a humorous picture of what I would look like in that situation. FWIW, I was not making a condemnation of anyone for this type of behavior. If anything, I was poking fun at myself. 😊

Yes, too many times I’ve had this happen. I don’t spook easily, but baby spiders from a crushed mama spider has me looking and acting like the un-manliest of men.

As someone who has a shit ton of spider webs that I constantly walk through when I go outside, I approve. And would like to know where to get this thread.
