Wouldn’t your drinks be warmer if kept in there?

As soon as they think there’s money in it.

I envy those that can just fall asleep whenever they want. It usually takes me an hour or more of laying there to finally bore myself enough to pass out.

A lot of posts are not tagged as a language, so if you picked a specific one in the settings and deselected “undetermined” you won’t see the majority of posts.

at 50, everyone has the face he deserves.

Welp, I’m screwed.

Thanks, It’s all pretty frazzled there due to the extra long day I had but it grows pretty fast and doesn’t usually listen to me at the best of times lol… If I remember correctly that was only a week or two of growth since I had last shaved.

Years ago I was working construction on a house and an iron clamp (around 2 or three pounds) under tension with a chain snapped and flew towards me and hit me in the forehead hard enough it spun me ass over tea kettle off of a scaffold where I belly flopped onto concrete about 6 or 7 feet down. I woke up about ten minutes later with paramedics around me laying in a pool of blood. I was air lifted by helicopter to the city around 80 miles away.

I still have a nice 2 inch scar on my head from where it hit, but thankfully I have a nice thick skull and I didn’t get any brian dabblage :)

Recent story but not me. A friend of mine just had his car stolen two days ago. He was going to bed around midnight and heard something outside, so he looked out the window just in time to see his vehicle rounding the corner on the street.

He phoned the RCMP who managed to catch the guy a few miles down the road. The thief had ripped the Sirius radio out of the vehicle but otherwise there didn’t seem to be any damage. My friend and his mom had picked up the vehicle the next morning and was driving home when they heard a loud “pop” and the vehicle caught fire, burning to the ground. (My guess is when the guy ripped out the radio some wires got damaged and shorted out.)

So now he’s scrambling to find a new set of wheels that he can’t really afford to do because he needs it to get back and forth from work which is 16 miles one way. He will eventually get some insurance money for the vehicle, but who knows how much, and that probably won’t be for a little while. In the meantime he’s kind of up the creek without a paddle.

Ya it’s not a good look of things to come, but so far it’s not a huge issue (yet).

Normally it’s blocked by default which is pretty easy to get around (It’s just a setting toggle) but apparently Samsung added a second “safety” autoblocker to a recent update. (Which can also be turned off, so I’m not sure what all the fuss is about, aside from being a mild inconvenience.) https://www.androidauthority.com/enable-sideloading-one-ui-6-1-1-3463446/

He keeps his cattle at the factories.

Choke the chicken.

Russian anger builds

Boo hoo. Crimea River.

No. A cold is a virus, you won’t catch one by cooling yourself.

What will probably happen is Trump will say a hundred stupid things no-one bats an eye to. Biden will screw up one soundbite and conservative media will twist and beat that dead horse until it get reincarnated.

“World’s Best Dad” mug with the word “Best” crossed out?

The free plan on Proton doesn’t let you torrent.

Unrelated but have you looked on Anna’s Archive? They have a bunch of Bande dessinée on there that may be what you’re looking for.

First computer, Tandy Coco 2 (TRS-80) in 1988 or 89.

First phone (other than a landline) was a Motorola bag phone around 1996(?)

I dunno, one kid from down the street near me looks pretty rectangular.
