I used to have a motorcycle that would give a couple of pops out of the exhaust if I closed the throttle too fast. I wonder how many Nextdoor conversations it started?

I’m reminded of Bender:

“This isn’t even about you”

“That’s impossible!”

Baby formula, laundry detergent, and food I bet.

Inb4 someone claims that all of that being stolen is being used to make drugs somehow.

Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.

I have F-droid, and Ive installed Mindustry and Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

Mindustry is great for wasting time.

“What’s your greatest weakness?”

“Interpreting the semantics of a question but ignoring the pragmatics.”

“Could you give me an example?”

“Yes, I could.”

Raw eggs and water in the gas tank takes less work, although you don’t get gas out of it.

Oh noes, we have to be nice to the violent shitheads, or else they will be violent shitheads just like they were anyway.

Yes they are. I found a 3m cable once, but it was too long and would get tangled.

Its not that. It’s people taking some payment for having to do the store’s job for them.

Not really, the big difference between a normal night for us or a night when her mom is visiting is that my lovely wife doesn’t try to stay quiet when her mom is visiting.

Or at least posting their address for everyone? Or posting an insider’s guide on how to game the insurance company.

I met a woman once when I was 27, and we really clicked. She was amazing, fun to talk to, and beautiful. But then I found out she was only 19 years old and I nearly ended it. I didn’t, because we got along so well.

I’m 43 now. She’s 35. We’ve been married for 14 years. She is still amazing, fun to talk to, she has an incredible green thumb and she’s grown awesome stuff for us to eat. She nursed a sick chicken back to life last week. The only nights we don’t have sex are the nights we are recovering from a marathon session in bed. She has deep green eyes and beautiful long legs.

So based on my anecdotal “evidence”, I say go for it.

I really get the feeling that this question isn’t being asked seriously but here goes.

Floppy disks are an older removable storage format for a computer. The media inside the disks was flexible like a piece of paper, hence the term “floppy”. There were three different common sizes, there was an 8", a 5.25", and a 3.5". The 8" and 5.25" had the flexible media in a sort of heavy fabric and plastic sheath that was itself flexible, amd the 3.5" disks had a hard plastic cover on the outside, with a sliding metal door, and some people erroneously called these “hard disks”.

I haven’t timed it exactly, I just known it takes a lot less than the ~hour that the dryer takes. Washer is an ancient whirlpool direct-drive top loader with a mechanical timer.

I know it!

When my wife lost her virginity, her mom threw a fit about it, called her a worthless slut, said she would end up homeless working as a prostitute, and refused to talk to her for a week. My wife was 20 years old when this happened.

We’ve been married for 14 years now. I was her first. And my lovely, compassionate, caring wife who only wants every person to live their best life, has one little petty thing she does. Whenever her mom spends the night, my wife will be both horny, and loud, with me (the person who was her first, all those years ago) because her mom can’t say anything bad about it.

I remember my parents talking about some thing or other in star trek that would be impossible because you’d need “terabytes of storage, and that’s probably not possible”. And now you can go buy 1 tb of storage and lose it in your couch cushions.

My wife and I had our clean laundry just in baskets for about a year, because we were both not in the best mental space after having our home destroyed by a flood in 2019. I got ahold of a marijuana edible, (I was about 40 amd had never touched the stuff) and I folded and put away all the laundry. I then washed, dried, and folded the laundry that was dirty. Then I cleaned the kitchen. When my wife got home and saw what had been done, I was forcibly removed from my pants.

And it only took like 30 minutes to fold and put up the laundry. It takes the washer 15 minutes to run, and the dryer takes an hour so… I was basically playing Satisfactory while high as balls amd folding the clothes that came out of the dryer which took five minutes once an hour. On my Saturdays I can get stoned, play video games, and clean the house. Playing games while high all day is reward enough, but my wife gives me even more.

Speaking as someone who grew up in the 1980s…

Micro-SD cards almost don’t make sense to me. I’m not saying I don’t believe in them, because of course I have a few of them. Obviously they exist and they work. But. They’re the size of a fingernail and can hold billions of characters of data. I uwve a camera that ive put a 128 GB microSD card in. A quick tap on the calculator tells me that’s over 91,000 3.5" floppy disks. Assuming they’re 3mm thick, that’s a stack of disks 273 meters tall. But this card is so tiny that I have to be careful not to lose it.
