I use Debian btw
Coffee has always made me shit from the time I started drinking it regularly when I was 21.
But now, a cup of water in the morning will trigger it. Like my body says, “MOISTURE?? I guess we don’t need this anymore!!”
I’ve stopped drinking coffee since getting on Adderall. Which is a shame. I was getting into some good stuff. But I’ve got a history of heart trouble in my family so coffee has been replaced by herbal tea. Gotta have a hot drink to truly wake up.
Or my guacamole 30 seconds after I scoop it onto my plate.
Yesterday, I ate two eggs for breakfast, water for lunch, and chow mein, kung pao chicken, broccoli beef, two nutri grain bars, twenty-seven gummy bears, and a small milkshake for dinner.
Let’s hope that in 25 years’ time, the Teslas of today are repurposed into icons of the counterculture movement. And dune buggies.
Let’s also hope we don’t have to fight a world war in between.
My father in law (age 78) just got a new phone. His last phone cost $100 new, was only a year old, and took actual seconds to respond to most things. It finally got stuck boot looping to recovery mode so I lent him my old OnePlus 7T to use because we were gonna get him a new one for his birthday, but he just went ahead and bought a new (used) Samsung for $200.
The Samsung is actually a pretty decent phone, but he refuses to learn how to use it. He badly wanted to use his old phone, but it won’t work anymore. He made me put the SIM card in his old phone. I told him he’s free to use that old thing, but I won’t be helping him with it anymore.
He is finally learning how to use his new phone a month after getting it. The man refuses to shell out for a half decent phone, despite having the money to. He’d rather spend $150 every 18 months buying a new crap phone than spend $400 on one that could easily last 5 years.
He doesn’t even need a smart phone. He doesn’t understand what a launcher is. So he downloads whatever crapware is advertised to him, then gets really confused why his home screen is all fucky. I’ve told him he should really consider getting a flip phone and using a laptop for anything else. He doesn’t want to. He wants a smart phone.
I can’t save this man. My parents are in their mid 50s and have finally caught up. 20 years ago, I was telling them they do not need the crapware DVD that came with the digital camera to import their pictures. All you need to do is put the SD card in the computer and copy the DCIM folder to the Pictures folder on the computer, then delete everything in the SD card’s DCIM folder to free up space.
Since I don’t use Windows anymore, I don’t answer Windows questions anymore lol If anyone calls with a Windows question these days, I just nope outta that.
Exactly thirty minutes later…
Anus: Hey, Brain - we’ve got a little problem here.
Brain: Can’t it wait? We’re driving.
Anus: Absolutely the fuck not.
Look, I get the hate because this looks appalling, but I’m thinking of the way these things might taste together, and, I mean, I wouldn’t say no. The sweet-savory combination would be a good contrast that lends some complexity. And the creaminess of the soup seems like it’d be a good fit for the flakiness of tuna and bready texture of the waffle.
Only thing I’m passing on is the olives. No thanks, bud.
At least, I’m not counting this out before I try it.
As for my wife…
I don’t think she’s a fan lmao
She must be an empath.
In all seriousness, periods of marked deflation are generally not economically prosperous times. The economy deflated more than 20% between 1929 and 1936. But we don’t call that period in time “The Really Cool American Price Drop.” It goes by another name I can’t think of right now, and it’s making me feel greatly depressed.
We shouldn’t be fighting for lower prices. We should be fighting for better wages that track with prices over time.
Bud, my car is older than you and has driven enough to circle the globe ten times. You’re really stretching the definition of “extended” here.
But, you know, if y’all wanna pay to repaint it, I won’t say no lmao
This is gonna be in my view history on our shared account, and my wife is gonna ask if I’m okay lmao
Oh, I know they’re not connected to the internet. It was a joke. And it turned out her whole family was kind of a bunch of culty Christians. Like, the kind of people who would shout gibberish and call it speaking in tongues. She was a nice girl, but getting to know her family was an…experience. And it totally explained some things lol
Frick frick frick frick frick. Stop censoring swears
This is what I see. But my mom put the TVGuardian on the WiFi. :(
Actually knew/was trying to date a grown woman who lived alone, no kids, and had one of these lol That thing creeped me out.
This one (ETA: my '97 Prelude) sparks so much joy.
Imagine still being alive to witness the slow, agonizing death of the universe, when all matter and energy are evenly spread across an incomprehensible vastness, and nothing will or can ever happen again. The next billion years would be fairly interesting until the sun expands and swallows the Earth…or, at least, dries up its oceans. Hopefully, you’ve found a way out and onto another planet for another billion or so years. But after about 170 quattuorvigintillion years of cold, dark, nothingness, you’ll probably get pretty bored of it all.
My cousin and I once invented the “Booter.”
One would ride a bike.
The other would ride a scooter.
The bike would tow the scooter with about a half dozen bungee cords. If you accelerated really hard on the bike, the cords would store all that extra energy, contract, unhook from each other, and send the scooter rocketing past.
Great fun. We never wore pads or helmets. For weight savings, of course. We were engineers first.
