Nicely done. ? "Toilet bowl" anything involves sitting down on the throne, taking a shit, and for the length of time that shit takes, you become a foremost authority on that topic and tell everyone how wrong everyone else is because of what you were able to Google. Nice. Whatever… I’ve been stuck on I70 in an ice storm behind a pileup. There was no going back or forward for 4 hours. We doubled up in cars to conserve gas and warmth. I was also on the Cumberland bridge on 68 about 10 years ago when a semi full of cantaloupes caught fire and blocked off 68E. Lucas and I helped guys direct traffic and block the shoulders so cars could turn around on the shoulders and drive up the entrance ramp. Burning cantaloupe is a very weird smell… So yeah, this isn’t exactly sitting on a toilet talking out my ass. Do you think those experiences make you a subject matter expert in either traffic emergencies generally or this situation in the desert in particular? Here's my thing about this. I'll walk through the thought process and identify where I have a problem. Look at that video! That woman's annoying. Her video is annoying. I wouldn't make such an annoying video. And I wouldn't be as annoying, either. Here's what I would do... And what I would do would be flawless and perfect and I'd be just fine. I'm smart and this person isn't because she made an annoying video and I didn't. I don't see what the fuck the point is in fixating on #3. We're just going to arbitrarily cherry-pick the internet for an endless supply of shitty videos? What in the hell for? And somewhere between #5 and #8 we get to blowhard activity and wishful thinking. Nope… With a heavily audible emphasis on the popping p sound… The woman video and posts the video with one intention. Look at me! Pay attention to me and my problems! It’s CHAOS! So I’m giving her what she wants. Attention. Well, not really, unless you went to the original post and replied on that platform.

But...the children! Exactly. That’s why I’m okay with the death penalty just this once.

@Jolly Thanks. Im going to look for jarred Roux. Don’t know if I can get it here, but just maybe I can find some.

@LuFins-Dad said in Serial Numbers: Print ballots on the same paper money is printed on, with the threads and such. And gave each state include a nonreplicable hologram like the drivers license and larger denomination bills. And back it up with a detachable serial number card. And never, ever send someone a ballot they did not request.

@89th said in Paris has gone dark: I noticed the fiber optic cables are gay colored. That's probably the cause. Thy are putting the inputs into the outputs?

@Jolly said in The Art and Science of Swearing: I think it's a sign of societal coarseness and lack of intelligence when it's overdone. Fucking bollock-shite. I remember my grandfather (whom I worshipped) saying it demonstrated a lack of vocabulary. My inner voice at roughly 7 years old thought, but did not say, 'How can it be a lack of vocabulary when people who swear have got more words available?' The point of this? I was an annoying smartass at 7 years old, too.

@Copper said in zyn?: @Doctor-Phibes said in zyn?: What possible benefit can chewing nicotine bring? Rod Carew, who won 7 batting titles, claimed that the wad of tobacco in his cheek helped him see the ball better. It's tough to argue with 7 batting titles. He later died from salivary gland (right next to the tobacco) cancer. Didn't hurt that he tended to use a lighter, shorter bat. Not a lot of homers, but very quick bat speed...

Wow! I have been waiting for a state government to start demanding cars self report, but Ford developing itself, and not to report on itself but to snitch on others?

I don't think that they can win the Senate. Too many of the Senate campaigns are against them. Democrats have to win almost 100%. Republics only have to win maybe 20% to take control.

@Mik said in That feeling you get: If you don't have A/C you need an attic fan. That's what we grew up with and they are great. Same here. No A/C growing up, although we got some window units when I was high school I think? I think as a kid I wasn't as sensitive to temperature. Fan... window...

This is the first time I've seen him give a dish a "Zero". Also the first time he said he wouldn't even try it. https://x.com/ChefReactions/status/1817918925654356425

Had a huge crush on her after Lost in Translation.

Life as prey is tough. Glad she's getting more open. Dogs often take clues from their owners, and people that would choose a chihuahua intentionally, well.....
