  • I wouldn’t be able to go. That is the truth! I was caught with some weed like 20 years ago and had to go to probation for 6 months. They tried to have me pee into a cup for 6 hours while he stood behind me. Couldn’t do it. I had to get water after each try. Guy looked frustrated, and they started telling me what to do, I got so panicked I pushed as hard as I could and farted. The guy was a trooper, he looked confused and also definitely wanted to laugh but held his composure. They finally let me just use the stale even because what else can you do? Every follow up visit i was never asked for another random test, which is kind of normal if you don’t look like your a problem, but I like to think its because I just can’t do it.

    Is this not true on iPhone? I’m pretty sure it is because my wife got basically this exact text a few months ago, which timed perfectly with us paying off some violations because we didn’t realize it didn’t get refilled. Perfect storm for her to believe it… Anyway, she got it and clicked it fine. Thankfully, it goes to a site that wanted you to put in more info, and at that point, she asked me, and I stopped her. Then I pointed out all the reasons it was fake, lol.










  • As someone who works in IT since 2005 I haven’t seen many die. Then again we barely use them so maybe in my life I’ve handled about 10-15 and seen 2 die. One in spectacular fashion when our department gave us all one since they thought it was a tool that was needed. Every single one of them ended up dying within the year. Just goes to show quality of the product can matter significantly sometimes. Outside that, they are pretty reliable, but I also would trust them the least out of the other options available for storage.


  • I have a 32gb one from 2006. I remember splurging on it because at the time it was definitely like a hundred bucks, maybe a little more. I still have it as well, and it’s been in the washer probably twice and still works. Of course, I now have a few free 128gb 3.1 drives that the store microcenter gives out for free once or twice a year. Using a USB 2.0 feels like ancient tech when transferring 20gb or more.
