You have a keen wit

The PC…it hungers.

“living in their own world” is a common turn of phrase

Yes, my hybrid does this. And makes a super annoying louder sound when put in reverse.

30ish years ago, I burned my own screens using this red film that you would cut with an xacto knife and peel off the parts you didn’t want. Omg it was so tedious. We were manually doing the job of a modern Cricut.

About 5 years ago I wanted to do a project but no longer had any of my old gear. Bought a screen online and for sure bought the upgrade for them to burn the art on it for me. So worth it. I was so tickled that that service even existed.

Granny seems to be screaming more from his hand trying to touch her scapula from the inside

These were for cds? My brain is picturing 5.25" floppies.

You had the first half right, it’s “beans and cornbread”. It’s a southern cheap staple meal of pinto bean soup with cornbread crumbled into it. Usually with a side of “fried taters” (potato coins skillet-fried in cast iron).

It really nailed the pile of well used tax guides behind the monitor. However it needs more stained and empty coffee mugs scattered around.

It contains no extra detergents, just more water in the package.

“I’m ok-ish with the idea of people who aren’t like me, but I don’t wanna have to like actually see and interact with them, y’know?”

But there is no point to circles.

I briefly microwave my ice cream before eating.

I don’t want it to be soupy. I’m going for soft. And I am too impatient to let it sit on the counter a bit to reach that sweet spot of consistency.

Yes, may I sign up to be a butter acolyte?

Sounds like you’re looking for the time honored Bank of Mattress Stuffed with Cash or their counterpart, Coffee Can Under the Sink Savings & Loan.

If you’re truly committing to off grid, go full analog.

Otherwise you just sound like a poorly veiled ad for some sketchy unregulated money exchange.

Autocorrect was just trying to get you to ketchup.

That… is something that I’ve never wondered about, but now you’ve got me contemplating the flavor profile of various mineral aggregates.

I can tell you what coal tastes like, not that I’ve eaten any. But when you burn it for heat, it gets everywhere. It’s bitter and kind of earthy but not like rich topsoil. More like you’ve been tailgating a school bus on a dirt road for hours. And the dirt is charred.

This is how I experience it too, and I’m in my 40s. If I don’t take it during the week, I burn out so easily.

If you pursue safety, you need to be good at catching the receiver! (or running back) And occasionally intercepting the ball. It’s a fun mobile position.

I think the underlying mechanics is the instrumental music keeps a portion of my brain occupied/ interested in the same way that fidget toys are supposed to while simultaneously blocking environmental distractions.

That has made me remember another trick…I have “wiggle pedals” for my feet. They are similar to an under desk bike pedal device but allow for multidirectional movement. Found them, they’re called Hovr. A really good substitute would be those elastic exercise bands stretched over the legs of the chair. Like these…

I have on occasion used the headphones and the Hovr pedals at the same time, and I experienced what can only be described as the Vince McMahon reaction meme (the glowing eyes one). Shame I used that power on drafting board financial reports and not solving global warming, but I didn’t have that on my to do list.
