My (soon to be ex-) wife buys large quantities of bottled water… One of many things about her I found irksome over the years, I went to the trouble of putting in an RO filter under the sink… and she was always so vocal about recycling… What’s better than recycling? Not buying tons of plastic in the first place…

And you try to tell the young people of today that, they won’t believe you.

never understand GIT as a single developer.

I use it to make it easier to work on stuff from my desktop, laptop, from windows or from Linux…

Fortunately I’ve been to a cardiologist recently and found my heart is fine. Still don’t know what was wrong with me for several months, but it wasn’t that.

While this is true, I was still grossed out when my wife used to repeatedly borrow my toothbrush… Like yeah, we’d kiss and exchange many more bodily fluids, but it’s not like we’re scraping each other’s teeth and digging between gums and teeth when we’re kissing…

runs in a web browser.

Or its an electron app.

Something something something history repeating

Depending on what they plan to use the video for, a middle finger can be sufficient.

I tend to agree that this is how it should be, that doesn’t mean that’s how it is. If you walk around with a T-shirt that says “kill all CEOs” along with where to find them, you’re going to run into some trouble, despite being a similar situation- you’re just giving instructions, it’s up to the viewer what to do with them.

I have a shirt with a QR code that goes to a Rick roll. It doesn’t work nearly as well as I’d hoped. Even people trying to scan it have a hard time, forget about anyone scanning it unknowingly. Mr. Astley did in fact let me down.

I set up a mesh router pair a while back - super easy setup, and the speed is good enough to have multiple TVs streaming at once, and without needing to run cables between rooms… Worth it.

Only mostly?

Nah. Gremlins. When Kate tells the story of how she found out there’s no Santa Claus…

I was doing that the other day while my wife was watching Ace Ventura… Haven’t seen it in probably 20 years, doesn’t stop me… Your gun is digging into my hip…

Arizona…

I was skinny when I lived in Boston, but blew up like a balloon when I moved to Arizona.

Fuck off. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast. I’ve been doing without it in an attempt to lose weight for 2 years now. Also making it a point to walk on a treadmill at work twice a day. It is measurable fact I eat less now than I did 2 years ago, and am more active, and yet my weight continues to hover around 300 pounds. 5 years ago I quit smoking cold turkey after 20 years, so it’s not like I lack willpower. But go ahead, tell me all about it.

Funny, I might be the only person I know who automatically rounds up gas prices…

You forgot birds aren’t real.

I was 18, but yes, that would have been 1994 or 5, so no bodycams, meaning if the guy had caught me, he could have beat the shit out of me with impunity.

Ditching a cop

I’ve done that too… On a bicycle no less, and the cop was on a motorcycle. But I knew the neighborhood better. Basically if you can get far enough ahead to take a couple turns, and the last turn isn’t an obvious one, and you don’t have/they haven’t seen a license plate, it’s possible. Still a bad idea, I will not argue that.

“Oh, you can’t pay for your food, you work for the restaurant now till you’re paid off!”

…

but I think even by the 60’s this scenario would be bizarre if it actually happened.

I did it as recently as 1994… Little bit different situation, I let them know in advance I had no money, but was willing to work for a meal, I didn’t surprise them by ordering first then telling them when I was done… But they did have me eat first before putting me to work. I think that was to see how serious I was- feed me first, then if I’m a bum, they’re only out one meal, but if I’m still willing once I’ve eaten, I’m probably worth trusting with a few basic tasks. It worked out, I ended up staying there a couple days (slept on a couch in their lounge, it was a truck stop so they had showers too) and in addition to a few meals, $50 cash.

What you say is mostly true about big chains like Denny’s, or anywhere near a city, but most rural mom & pop places would at least consider it.
