OT: General OT Thread #44 - Hat Talk 2025

I'm liking it. It runs a lot quicker on my computer than the old one, and without an annoying popup every time I click something.

Do we get notified when someone answers a post?

Yep

There's nothing wrong with public education IMHO.

Ehhh, I’m not so sure about that. Having gone to public schools in three different states (NM, WI, IN), there are vastly different levels of education quality. Hell, I had two years of high school in Wisconsin and two years in Indiana at a Blue Ribbon public high school. I went from everyone needs notebooks for each subject to everyone gets a MacBook Air provided to them. Shit was crazy.

Anyways, there are plenty of spots where kids are getting lesser opportunities that we could be doing better in.

Side note: the same year I went from one high school to the other, I had a $120,000-140,000 back surgery. Pretty sure it came out to be somewhere around $4,000 thankfully. Much easier on my parents to deal with. Still living with side effects from that surgery (nowhere nearly the monthly cost you see though). I’d like to see cost comparisons for similar treatment before and after a certain something was put into place for the medical industry in the 2010s. I’ve done zero research into that, but I don’t remember people ever complaining it was this bad prior to the last decade or so.

Weird that I had no idea this sub forum had an OT thread. Don't remember ever seeing it before. Must've either hidden it accidently or maybe decided it was superfluous and taking up space in the forum feed.

[EDIT]: Apparently I even posted in it. I have no recollection of that whatsoever.

Okay, why don't I have an option for dark mode?

Dunno. Mine seems to have transferred over and kept it. I just want to get rid of all the inane sh** on the right hand side and can't remember how to get it to f*** off.

All that garbage in the green:

I selected the dark setting and saved it.....doesn't work. The page reloads and remains light. Dark mode works on other forums I'm on, so it makes no sense why it won't work here.

Not a big fan of Machine Head, but the dark setting is much easier on my eyes.
