“Men honestly don’t need much in the way of material goods to be happy.”

“And I took that personally.”

Flat pack furniture is manufactured trash.

I’m not putting up with that, I’m going to convert them all to pung files asap.

I know J.D. Power and Associates as the company that makes up a trophy to give to literally every truck ever made. I haven’t seen a truck commercial in my entire life that didn’t mention them.

Floppy disks were a human size. When we need removable media now, it’s either a microSD card, which are so tiny there’s no way to label them, and thumb drives, which…USB-A is irritating.

Give Rayforge a try.

There are a lot of circuits in the US that power multiple duplex outlets around a room. You could plug in a solar panel into one outlet and a load into another and they would be connected by a length of Romex in the walls.

In the United States that would be UL Certification.

Eyewitness testimony.

We might be neighbors; is one of them a Thai Orchid in the building that used to be the old Pizza Hut, next door to the ABC store in the building that used to be the new Pizza Hut?

Oh my god, I’m from central North Carolina, we call New Yorkers “halfbacks” because they move to Florida, hate it there, so they move halfway back, to North Carolina. And then you get “where I’m from, we…”

I have now decided to no longer tolerate that behavior in my presence. Next time I hear a fookin noo yoaka start a sentence about where he’s from, I’m taking hostages.

Prusa gives you the option to save $21 by leaving out the tool pack on an MMU3, because logically you already have the same tools if you built a printer.

I’ve never driven an American market car whose speedometer was only in miles.

Man invented shoes first, because he was walking through the hot sand and the sharp rocks and the pointy briars, so he invented shoes to protect his feet from the ground. Then he invented pants, because he felt silly standing around naked in his shoes.

I think that was a Gallagher bit?

Cats would be neat to get to that point.

So given Dr. Glaucomflecken is an opthalmologist, I’m at least 37.3% sure he meant her eyeglass prescription in diopters. Isn’t that right, Johnathan?

Izzy never does that, but she’s old and creaky so I don’t think it’s comfortable for her to lay on her back.

I had a long haired cat lay on his back to cool off. He could spread his fluff open that way to get some airflow. Only cat I’ve ever had that I needed to keep cool rather than warm.

The (non-geriatric) females tended to want to play. Dangling a favorite toy was fun for the feline and safe for the primate.

Master And Commander: The Far Side of the Earth.

It’s a war movie with an all male cast, and the manliest moment in it is when the Doctor who is doing surgery on himself to remove a bullet from his chest, looks at the captain who is assisting and asks “Are you alright?” And the marine that accidentally shot him is anxiously waiting outside the tent to make sure he’s okay. GAH I’m going to the store and buying some beer and some popcorn and I’m watching a movie tonight.

It can be. If you look on a lot of the websites for video games they grant licenses to stream the game’s audio assets in the context of streaming gameplay.

Same way I do, with the loud end hanging out the cuff next to my sock.
