When mum and dad get parenting advice from the Charles Manson biography.

“Mom was in a café one afternoon with me on her lap. The waitress, a would-be mother without a child of her own, jokingly told my Mom she’d buy me from her. Mom replied, ‘A pitcher of beer and he’s yours.’ The waitress set up the beer, Mom stuck around long enough to finish it off and left the place without me. Several days later my uncle had to search the town for the waitress and take me home.”

Also, they left behind a loaded magazine on the floor 🤣

That was a hilarious read. It just kept getting better, like I was reading Yakety Sax.

I dunno how Americans do it, but from life in the tropics dealing with monsoons and cyclones, we fill up the bath tub the day before we’re expected to get hit. Then we have plenty of water for drinking, washing, and cooking.

Most times it’s not needed because civil infrastructure is built for the environment, but some times water is shut off or compromised for a few days. I’ve also had pipes rupture while flooded in for a few days, so water was suddenly dirty, and my bath water become a supply for a few neighbours until floods receded enough for services to come in with water. Sounds a bit wild, but it’s kind of normal in places like that. It’s all part of the “day before routine”.

You’re basing that off a common style at the time. Least you think many rock and grunge artists were coincidentally all that, with Kurt actually being less involved by comparison.

Don’t make shit up and tell people it’s so, simply because you wish it were so. That’s Trumpistic.

And second degree burning is blistering. Could’ve been as simple as leaning against a truck exhaust.

Edit: Oh, I stand corrected. It is blistering at most.

I think people have always enjoyed photobooths. I have a collection with good people over my years. Whenever one’s spotted, it’s normal to jump in there with whoever I’m with, especially if we’re having a great day out.

Yeah, it’s tricky that, especially with international stuff. When something kicks off internationally and suddenly a bajillion charity groups appear, it’s troublesome.

And it’s my rule of thumb to just disregard anything from a religion, I won’t even bother checking into them. Whenever there’s been a charity called out for being evil, it’s ironically Christian-based.

I wish my mother was like this,.I’d.actually read her messages. She just uses my phone number as her personal journal. I get dozens of messages a day about nothing. I have to mute her and check every now and then, scrolling through useless shit about—hang on, I’ll look at the last three topics; dogs and horses going to heaven, liking nature and not suburbia, the sermon at a mid-week church event—and make sure nothing important happened. I’ve told her to chill, it doesn’t work.

I haven’t done web work for well over a decade and recently was surprised to learn that Wordpress is still very relevant. I remember back then, seeking alternatives as we expected it to become more of a legacy thing a few years down the track, so we were on the lookout for future-proofing client sites with a better foundation. At that point it was a decade old and annoying af because it morphed into a messy way of doing websites because people misused it’s original purpose. Brain had to think like a blog and then trick it into doing what you want, kind of like using tables to structure pages before CSS-P saved the day.

Well, he was also a part of blocking the military aid to Ukraine for all those months. But this one is good

Ironically,.not many people would’ve known about this. Now they do and hiis behaviour paints the Republican Party poorly. it is such a very normal and inconspicuous thing,.and then he does this,.making me wonder wtf is up with him and that party.

Todd Howard can’t talk. He’s become Bethesda’s weakness.

Seen these on Jay Leno’s Garage. Cars used to come with them and were intended to be used for picnics and whatnot.

There’s another? Let me guess, whale.decapitation and roadkill bear guy?

It was the T-800

Usually electronica or classical. Both just fill in with tasty noises that blend into the background. Most music composed with some sort of a music theory background tends to do this well without relying on lyrics, repetition or distractions fighting for your attention.

No, he’s still being executed.

“It’s our final offer or else we’ll get an entire already skilled workforce some place else!”

Yup, that’s standard. If you’re about three responses in, give up, it’s already lost and incapable of focusing on the requirements. It will also lie to please. There is zero admission of confidence score. You only pick up on the things you know are wrong and considering how often that is, the rest can only be taken with a grain of salt.
