What a bizarre method of loading! Had to look when forklifts were invented, turns out there were in common use during WWII. I’m not too hot of a driver, but throw that thing on a pallet and I’d have it in there is a minute flat.

Little virgin blood and bat dung, that thing’s hopping around eating people.

Only recently! For the past 10,000 years a 70-year span would not see a single significant change.

(If I mix this up, someone correct me.)

I think it was at Olduvai, or somewhere in the Great Rift Valley, that hominids spent 600,000 years hammering out the same exact stone tools.

Potatoes are next level though. Or the most basic level. 🤷🏻

I planted a bunch of red potato chunks in some tilled dirt. BAM! Quintupled what I put in with zero effort. Next time I’ll mound them up properly and get a year’s supply off 4 or 5.

And yet you wholeheartedly believed this, no questions asked, and went on to comment on how dumb they are.

Very clearly a joke.

Thanks for pointing that out, had a hard time believing he said that seriously.

Of all the dumb things to make fun of. 🙄 Yeah, it’s a standard deal for heads of state and departments and who knows who else to have a lectern with their logo. As you said, a sticker, tacked on with velcro or some such.

Lemmy: “LOL! Look at this stupidity!”

Some y’all got the savoir faire of 8th graders.

VIC-20, my first real girlfriend.

Can’t help but think that’s an in joke for those guys. Or they found the dumb sign and had to strike a pose, like something I would do.

Been saying for years, here and on reddit, we know how to punch these people in the balls. Why is no one doing it?!

Vance and family getting rejected from visiting Greenland? He can handle it, because he’s not a narcissist. Trump could not handle it, because he is.

World leaders and media need to boo and make fun of these assholes non-stop. Fucking grow a pair!

Imagine the Prime Minister of Canada or the UK saying out loud:

“President Poops-In-His-Pants is using his new word, ‘tariffs’. If President “I Like the Poorly Educated” hadn’t been asleep in class, maybe he could spell Smoot-Hawley Act. OK, maybe he’s not wearing diapers, but have you seen that dump truck? And yes, he smells a bit off in person.”

or

“President Bones Spurs sends men into combat, which he was too pussy to engage in during Vietnam.”

or

“President Trump, freshly painted in gender affirming makeup and wearing a gender affirming toupee, strikes out against transsexuals for wanting gender affirming care.”

FFS, he would melt the fuck down if hit with shit like this from major media and world leaders.

Oh, but we don’t want to piss of the Most Powerful Man in the World! Well hell, what have we to lose?!

Lived in cities most of my life, Chicago being one. Often worked the south side up there. That urban enough for ya? Now I live on the bleeding edge of town, nothing but cotton fields past our neighborhood.

Not sure how that matters, in any case I don’t want random homeless people roaming my hood. Most I’ve talked to are perfectly decent humans, but the homeless have a far higher percentage of fruitcakes and, more importantly, violent fruitcakes.

When I worked downtown I almost got in three fights with the homeless. My neighbors don’t bow up on me and follow me around when I say, “Sorry. Don’t usually carry cash.” And then there were the fights in front of our shop.

And those are only anecdotes from this city. You should walk the French Quarter. About got in three fights in a single night. And I have no idea why. One guy cornered us on a tiny side street, gave up when we confidently walked off. (Had a pistol and was scared shitless it would come to that.) Another guy chased us down the street when I gave a thumbs up to his street drumming and said, “Keep on!” I forget the last circumstance. OTOH, a homeless guy playing money for chess absolutely schooled my wife. That was fun.

None of those three bullet points address random homeless people. I’d be happy with those sorts of folks, they’ve shown they’re capable of living in society.
Many homeless simply can’t deal.

I’ve known two guys to up and leave perfectly nice homes because the pressure was too much on their mind. Hell, they weren’t even employed, just couldn’t stand being around other humans. A home with others in it felt too confining one told me.

LOL, good use of hoar.

Sweden: We got Heavy Metal, Black Metal, and now for 2025, FROST Metal!

Those are low power phone lines. And by the look, amazingly well strung. God knows what the safety was on the power lines feeding the amps (or whatever) looked like.

I had always thought this was an existing tower repurposed for them new fangled phone lines. Neat!

You talking about young people or old people?

Laughing at y’all who didn’t exist before microwave ovens. Mom used to heat shit up on the stove, for all meals, and grandma was terrified of microwaves, evil radiation machines! Still have dad’s microwave detector from Radio Shack, LOL, like microwaves are ionizing. And BTW, you could use the light bulbs to cook on they were so hot. Tried grabbing a wimpy 60W incandescent lately?

When I was last in Chicago my AC died. I could reach out and feel the incandescent bulb from across my tiny apartment. Imagine using a vacuum and a white-hot filament to achieve light. Step up from a candle I guess.

I imagine explaining to my dad, “Nah, we just leave that light on all the time.”

“Doesn’t that run up the bill?”

“No. Not really.”

Nah. Use the edge so the food rotates through the hot and cold spots.

tl;dr: Radiation isn’t uniform in there, bounces around.

Admiral Hegseth came out of light-speed too close to the journalist. He is as clumsy as he is stupid.

Housing would clear a great deal of homeless off the street, but the recalcitrant people, no idea how to deal with them.

And no one ever proposes where to build this housing. Sorry, but NIMBY, not around my children and home. And anyone who says they would be fine housing the homeless in their hood is a liar or has no experience with homeless people. A great many of them are bugfuck at best, violent at worst.

Met a trans (?) dude in the woods the other day. He was madly packing his tent and throwing on a jacket and boots to hide his girl clothes (literally little girl clothes). I tried to calm him, chat a bit, let him know I’m peaceful. The shotgun and pistol probably didn’t help my case. :(

I regret not trying to help him more, wasn’t sure what to do. Gave him some trash bags and advised him to pick up the area so none of us get hassled for being back there. Wish I had sat him down and explained the area, directed him to more private places to camp.

Thought much about him. He seemed sane enough, but could he actually hold a job? Just show up on time, work, leave? He was so scared it was hard to get through to him, see how he was really doing. Anyway, that’s been eating on me, so I’m dropping this on y’all.

That’s about when it starts.
