Until the literature and media ran out.

Man, I easily completely forget shit from 10 or 20 years ago, I bet if you just keep creating you could entertain yourself for a lot longer!

In addition to what the other person said, (in the US) if the connection was made between sockets on different circuits, the voltage potential between the two hots could be 240v, making the hot wire a huge heating element, thus the fires.

As I understand it, one typical use case for these things is Christmas lights, and getting confused by a big tangle of light strings makes plugging in both ends in very different places an easy mistake to make.

Also I wouldn’t take for granted that your outlets are wired correctly.

Ohh, Trump is the antichrist. End times confirmed?

Growing up Bible-literalist religious and reading Revelations, I always had trouble with the idea that so many people would follow the antichrist, but that part seems so much more believable now.

Just a note on the “toxic” thing - when folks talk about “toxic masculinity” they’re generally not talking about men being toxic or claiming that masculinity is always toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to the perversions of masculinity; things like “I must commit violence to defend my honor” or “I must never express ‘soft’ emotions”. Men and masculinity are good things that can and should be celebrated as much as all other identities.

That was exactly my reasoning when I switched to sitting every time. Sometimes the stream just decides to pick some unpredictable direction to start, if I sit down I’ve got a hemisphere of protection and no need to clean my piss off the floor (or worse, leave that for someone else).

I am amazed at how often that gets considered an invalid email.

Thanks, I didn’t remember that. 🤬

One time I got a mass email from the director’s assistant telling us to send them our cell phone numbers. I was quite irritated, so I ignored it initially to calm down and think of a rational response. Anyway, the following week the director was dead, I’m sure there was no connection.

I found a picture of a taco bell menu from late 2023 showing the beefy 5-layer for $2.19.

(Pam meme) they’re the same picture

I have a similar story. I’m glad you grew up, and I hope adulthood is treating you well!

Wow Republicans are weird. I was watching that and could only think what a beautiful moment it was. It was touching how incredibly proud Gus is of his dad, which suggests to me that they’ve probably got a pretty healthy family.

Hmm, I’m trying to imagine measuring my worth with my penis. Like, if worth was a linear distance I could be like “I’m worth seven penises!”

I mean, it does sound like y’all both saved yourselves some time.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Can someone summarize the Tuvix story for me? I don’t remember it and I don’t have any way to watch Voyager for free right now. How/why was he created(?)? I’ve gathered that Janeway killed him, but why?

My manager recently denied some of my PTO requests, so whatever you just said (I didn’t read it) doesn’t count and all managers are bastards. QED.

lol thanks for saving me the trouble of fact checking myself too

I think they caught a shot of him practicing to kiss Kamala’s ass?
