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!”

I don’t like fishing.

It’s not because “eww, worms” or “eww, fish”. It’s two things. The big thing is, I don’t want to hurt some small animal like a worm or bait fish, just so that I can hurt some other animal by dragging them into an environment where they can’t breathe. Oh, but the humane thing to do is toss them back? Imagine being pulled out of an airlock into the vacuum of space, photographed, measured, and then put back in the airlock? I don’t need to do all of that to some critter just for fun. Which brings me to the second thing about fishing that I don’t like : It’s not fun. It’s boring. It’s so boring. Just stand here and hope a fish eventually bites.

Found the Okie?

This makes sense, every gay person I’ve met drank water.

Technology Connections!

I have a K1 and was wondering if it would be mentioned. In the beginning I had extrusion problems, I contacted Creality and they had new, redesigned parts in my hand in a week. Since then it has been a workhorse, slapping perfect prints down every time.

Is the EU bound by any such treaty?

Treaties aside, my issue is that it’s always the US that everyone begs money from in these situations. We get shit on constantly for a bunch of reasons, some valid, but when someone comes along and starts making threats the question is always “What will the US do about this?”

Honest question from someone who wants to see Ukraine not be overrun by orcs: Why is the US always the one who has to fund wars? There are some countries in the EU that have given a bit of suport, but the guys who are across the ocean seem to be the ones everyone looks to for money. Aren’t you clever enlightened boys and girls from the European Union able to take care of this?

Every single time there is some conflict the idiots in charge here have to get big hard-ons and start getting involved. And we are told to stay out of it. But now Ukraine needs money and for some reason everyone focuses on the US providing it. Same with Israel, why are we the ones who have to prop them up?

I’d really like to know. Everyone hates the US until they want money or weapons. We aren’t the ones next door to russia, the EU is. And we aren’t anywhere near the middle east, so why are we wasting so much money on israel?

You’re probably right. I was comparing it to Factorio.

Mindustry

The meanest, most dangerous dog I knew was an american eskimo owned by my ex wife. This was a 20 pound fluffball, and he looked like he would be friendly and fun to scratch behind the ears.

He loved to bite people, especially children. He had a specific thing he would do when someone looked at him: he would look up and smile, while vigorously wagging his poofy tail. You’d reach down to pet that brilliant white, angel-soft fur, and as soon as you were close enough, he would take a chunk out of your hand or arm. This wasn’t a playful bite, he would bite down hard and hang on.

“Andor” is the best Star Wars series.

Can’t wait to buy a roll of Solar Sheet to put on the roof - or over a tent.

Super strength is something I could see being problematic.

The movies always show the super strong hero picking up buses or trains with one hand, but in reality you have to lift such vehicles in specific places, or they will be damaged. Youtube is full of videos depicting cars falling from mechanic’s lifts due to improper lift point placement, or just old fasioned rust. Imagine Mr. Incredible going to pick up a bus in a state where the roads are salted, and just breaking off a handful of the frame.

I sometimes back into parking spaces that are in front of a glass storefront so I can see that my brake lights are working.

It’s not finished. It will look like this when they complete it. It’s a nature bridge.

The difference is, they aren’t locked in a hole underground with them.

CAN YOU NOT FUCKING READ ENGLISH, PRIVATE? WHY IS THIS ORGANIC COMPOSTABLE SHELL CASING IN THE ALUMINUM BIN? DID YOUR INBRED F150 DRIVING PARENTS FORGET TO TEACH YOU HOW TO RECYCLE? “JUST TOSS IT WHEREVER”, RIGHT?

There are other commodities that you can secure and make sure you are the only one that knows how to get access to them

This sounds like an excellent way to spend the last minutes of your life having your fingernails pulled off.
