I’d be a lot less confused by a Venn diagram.

related, nobody steals pink power tools. A building contractor friend of mine had some pink paint leftover from a bathroom remodel, so he slapped it on all his power tools - no more tools stolen on job sites!

I don’t think our method of internal government would matter as much to the world as the foreign policies of the individual leader. For reference on that see 2016-2020.

My proton pack’s in the shop, I’m gonna have to come back.

That’ll actually be a shame.

Not many people have them, but the aliens don’t know which ones - and they already have the anal probe equipment handy.

grown up lol

By “everybody” you mean everybody except Amazon. And I had fun hacking those. They were often on sale for like 2 bucks and they came with a battery that was good for like a thousand presses. You had to start the online setup process but not select any products, listen for the button’s msg to Amazon which contained a unique ID. You could then have your own server listen for a “pressed” signal from that button and do whatever you want. I keep meaning to find out if there’s still a way to initialize brand new ones.

“Grab that.”

“No you, I’m not touchin’ that.”

Or they might have assumed there was something wrong with it. I learned a trick at Microsoft to not have my desk chair “borrowed” for meetings - put a big piece of duct tape on it, Nobody wants the duct taped chair lol.

They get better!!

It’s all fun and games until de-worming time.

Gaslighting is so last year. We need new slang - fenceposting, backyarding, BarneyRubbling.

Maybe because they tend to be round. Some of them make me think of the old Cray supercomputer,s but with a ton of extraneous wires and plumbing added to look more futuristic.

Me too, winter sucks ass.

Yes, “lmao” - typical hater eloquence, well done! I am unable to counter that logic.

Most old lead paint just gets painted over, further sealing it in. It doesn’t do anything to you unless you chew on peeling paint or release it into the air by sanding it.

I agree if they simply go away, what they produced should become opensource. Sometimes this involves removing dependencies on proprietary software, which anybody who used the opensourced portion would in turn have to pay to license. So they have to rewrite those parts or make special arrangements. Anyway it’s not the slam-dunk you might think. Like after what happens in an action cop movie everybody walks away, but in reality they would spend months or years in court over damages to buildings, passersby getting hurt, etc. Nothing is ever as simple as outsiders think.
