Push enough soldering irons up enough urethras and this’ll stop. Dealer’s choice on when during this process to plug in the iron.

My father would endlessly yap about his retirement plan and 401k and all shit like that, as if the US Dollar is going to still be a currency in circulation in 2030.

I tend to buy straight from vendors. like I ordered some underwear straight from Hanes the other day.

At my school, there were obviously no left handed desks purchased, one which I guess had been broken was hastily remade into a left handed desk, the welds on the tubes were pretty obvious as were the original screw holes in what was now the top surface of the desk.

I usually had my textbook open on the desktop and I wrote on a clipboard on my knee.

The “desk” above looks like something out of an auditorium/lecture hall some of the schools I’ve attended had. It would be built into the fixed stadium seating and fold out. A more typical classroom thing would either be separate chairs and desks, or the “chair with a built-in desk that has a right-side armrest” kind of thing.

Brian Thompson was shot in the back and right calf, not in the head.

Also, is this meme about Guy Fawkes or is it about V?

I had no idea anyone was actually making Welrods still. Marketing it as a “veterinary pistol” is certainly a choice.

So does anyone else gamify heating their houses in winter? Like I try to keep the furnace from turning on by cooking and running washing machines and such. Get myself sick of baking so I don’t in the middle of summer.

In snow that deep, a cat will likely choose to move by jumping rather than trying to plow through it.

No, that center pic is Tudor. Mordor would be a door that’s wider and/or taller.

I like how the expression is starting to morph into “He drank the Well Actually It Was Flavor-Aid.”

I do know that Linus is on record with low opinion of C++. I have heard of him compare the cult-like following Rust has with the whole Vim/Emacs tribalism thing.

I built a gaming PC during the Trump administration, I had to order the CPU from an ebay seller in Korea because there were none in North America and the GPU i took out of my father’s old Dell because there were none to be had at all retail.

I built a PC earlier this year and the case I wanted was out of stock everywhere but everything else was really in stock.

Add extended range flight tanks and a foot long spiral penis.

Did work out reasonably well in “desktop mode.” There’s a cubby in my desk I could put it, and power, video and a USB hub for ethernet and peripherals was on the side that stuck into the desk, and the SD card slot and a couple more ports stuck out of the desk for use. But oh man a lot of the details on this laptop were designed like a government website.

Okay, Dell shaming time.

On my Inspiron, there are three USB ports. Two on the right side along with the SD card slot, and one on the left side along with the charger port and the HDMI port.

One of these is a USB2.0, the others are USB 3.0. All type As, this laptop predates USB-C by about 2 weeks. The one that is 2.0 is one of the two on the right side. Dell put no markings on the chassis to distinguish them, and colored all the tongues black, no blue tongues. So if you forgot which is which you had to look down into the port for the one that only has four conductors back there.

I swear, Congress designed this fucking laptop.

There’s an entire genre of tiktok videos out there of women saying things like “So this guy I like asked me out, and I said no, and he was like okay bye and just walked away. What is with men not pursuing women anymore?”

Hmm what was that hashtag popular a few years ago? #nomeanskeepgoing?

“No means no” they said. Meanwhile in this very thread: “I’m actually in love with the guy that stalked me.”

If you want no to mean no, you have to say different things when you mean something other than no. If you want to play hard to get, A) don’t, you suck at it and B) maybe let him know that’s the game you’re playing so he’ll actually try hard to get you instead of just taking a flat rejection at face value; ie don’t just say “no” say “You’ll have to try harder than that” or something that indicates you are open to further attention. What saying “no” when you actually mean “try harder” accomplishes is you filter out the guys who take no for an answer leaving your dating pool only filled with the men who don’t really care that much about consent.

As for the “I turned him down becuase I wasn’t interested in him, then we actually talked and turned out I actually like the guy” story…I guess maybe try actually talking to guys? Even if you don’t cream your gusset at first sight?
