MS PowerToys has a Search feature that works like Mac Finder called PowerToys Run.. And it works as you'd expect it. I've largely started using that over the standard windows search, and the difference is hitting win + space (default: alt + space) instead of win before typing my search.

"Go commit a hate crime! And one of you is definitely going to escalate beyond burning and we won't be there to support you when you commits physical violence to a member of the LGBTQ+ community!"

Stasher silicone storage bags (which these appear to be, or at least their non-NA counterpart brand) are PFAS and PFC free.

Surprise! You've been acquired by Amazon!

1. OP mentioned this also happened outside in the parking lot and was implying active blocking.

2. There's ways for stores to work with telecoms to get service broadcast inside the warehouse/building as well to get around the natural passive blocking from the building materials.

I was well aware of the difference between active and passive blocking.

This is more likely a coverage issue than Walmart illegally blocking wireless signals (per to FCC regulations).

Report the coverage issue to Verizon and your local Walmart. Both of which will want to increase coverage of where people are gathering. This is because if bad coverage areas are in places where people gather this will cause affected people to switch services or stop going to those gathering areas if there's alternatives.

You're right. Had to dig into my memory for this one and fact check myself.

IRC, BBS, and most forums (of the era) used PM or SP. MUCKs and a few other tools used Whisper. ICQ introduced "IM me". Part of me remebers using the term "DM" for IRC messages, but I used IRC fairly regularly well into the 2010s.

However, the forum I spent a ton of my younger years on used "Direct Messages" which has likely polluted my memory. Since it was a technology related forum, that was probabaly a customization from the operator to distance everyone from the idea of "private" since everything was clear-text and unencrypted back then. That or I'm confusing "IM me" from the ICQ/AIM/MSN days.

Point being, nobody thought "PM" meant secure and not visible to the server operators back then. It just meant that only you, the recipient, server operators, and 1337 h4xx0rz could see your messages.

What a trip down edited memory lane that was. Thanks for fact checking me.

Umm.. People have been using the phrase "Direct message (DM) me" since forever in the game and online comms world. Private message wasn't a concept until after DMs were later encrypted. And we always knew, that if we didn't control the servers, even encrypted, those messages were subject the server operators.

Your logic is giving me the impression that you're younger and didn't go through these experiences.

Firefox + "I Still Don't Care About Cookies" extension makes post GDPR UX shenanigans so much better.

Steps for using a bidet:

4. Turn off bidet.
5. Grab a few squares of TP and fold them over.

Congrats, you're now a pro, an clean, pooper.

I've seen tip jars in botique clothing and other non-food related shops for some time now in the US.
