Anyone else read this to themselves in a thick Chicago accent?

Plumbers pretty much do, not sure about treatment plants though.

Lots of shit goes down the drains that shouldn’t.

Now do Hegseth, McMahon, Patel, and Basset

Yeah that was one of the more fucked confirmation hearings. He should have been held in contempt during the first 5 minutes.

How do a few new congress people get anything done without compromise with at least half the rest?

Imagine how big the connector shroud would have to be to show all the features in a cable!

Incidentally the last power cable I bought to replace my failing MacBook power cable is labeled for max wattage.

But it turns out that a national trauma (or series of them) really fucks a people up.

• Russia got fucked by the Soviet collapse
• US by 9/11
• UK by 7/7
• France by Charlie Hebdo
• Japan’s Tsunami
• same for Indonesia before
• Then Covid did in China and then the rest of the world

E we used to always stash before checkouts to try and find things in a branch

Yeah this isn’t the same as porch piracy. Amazon knows you never unlocked it.

The broadband period, after AOL and the dot com crash, was probably the peak.

We had car videos, google was pretty good at finding things and its ads were separated. Geocities and webrings were dying, but we had high design gallery sites that were human curated and had some great stuff.

Flash was still a fun thing, and not just a banner ad delivery tool.

Forums and spam bots and email scams were a thing, but had always been there and were fairly easy to avoid/ignore. Still annoying though.

If the ad blockers work anyway.

Definitely one of the more date rapey Xmas songs out there.

Go around. You never know if the whole thing is about to fall off and traffic lights are fucking huge.

I miss great escapes, though more and more I’ve started to feel bad for the predators who wasted so many calories chasing those bunnies only to end up with nothing.

Dumping the bag directly into your mouth is way better than any chopstick nonsense.

Prickly peaches

Except accidental comedy (or comedy of errors).

But LLMs only do it unintentionally and usually at unwanted times

Chocolate too. I love dark chocolate, but most of them were full of heavy metals. Though that is likely world wide based on the brands that had problems. Trader Joes being in there was the biggest blow in our household.

They also had to pee too badly to make it inside.
