A lot of people can get a good handle on the cut segment of the course, but when it comes to the uncut they seem to slip right through the cracks.

Thank you. Thankfully, she didn’t pass from covid, it was the culmination of her dementia. She didn’t even know there was a pandemic going on. Covid did affect me visiting her, but I did still get to say goodbye we. I was even one of the 10 people allowed at her funeral. She hadn’t been well for a long time, and it was really unfortunate that she didn’t pass before the pandemic, and more of her relatives would have been able to be there and we could have really celebrated her. I loved her dearly, and she deserved so much more.

Ah, I do recall that tale from my old life in that place. The beforetimes.

It’s just minor radiation exposure. Only 3 mSv. That’s barely 30 chest X-rays, or 150 seven hour flights!

My father was a penis inspector, like his father before him. He had to work for years at a penis factory to get by, working long, hard hours. All while taking penis inspection classes at night. When he finally graduated, he said it was so satisfying to tell his boss he was quitting, and that from now on he would be inspecting his work. He went on to be the best penis inspector in our county, and oversaw Penis Inspection Day at 4 public schools and 7 private for over three decades.
The fact that they think they can automate this entire proud profession with one scanner in a public bathroom is an insulting joke. It’s a single camera! How will it check the underside of the shaft for melanoma? Can it check the foreskin for proper length and cleanliness?? How does it check erection durometer? Not to mention urethral diameter. For fuck’s sake.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Because my S10 died a day before a business trip, and they had it in-stock.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Oh, I have the 24+, I guess. It’s way too big. The S10 was an OK size, but I want smaller than that even.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
No way. I have an S24, and this thing is huge compared to my S10. Which was already bigger than I wanted. The last phone I’ve had that I liked the size of was the S6.
I definitely would love a 4.2" slab.
I thought about the 1 IV, because it still had a headphone jack. But there was a deal going for the S24. That’s how they get ya.

How are you doing? This is pretty big news.
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, no. It’s phone calls. I have no problem talking to people in person. Or via messaging apps. I detest phone calls, though. I don’t even like talking to my wife on the phone. Just text me.
- Comment on What are your favorite games for killing nazis? 2 weeks ago:
Battlefield 1942, especially with the Battlegroup 42 mod.

I submit my transparent purple TI-83, and Tiger Game.Com.

The “talking to someone” part.

As somebody who has made a 6 cup Moka pot of Death Wish before, I totally empathize with OP. That must have been one hell of a stressful day. I felt like my heart was going to hop out of my throat, and was pretty much stuck in an hours long panic attack. And the only way I didn’t feel like I was going to die was standing.

Ah, so it was originally called an I Scream Sandwich.
- Comment on Anon reaches enlightenment 5 weeks ago:
I look back at pictures of myself at 25, when my hair was thinning pretty bad. And I really regret not shaving my head sooner. I love having a shaved head. I especially don’t like looking at my wedding photos. I have a nice round head, I should have been proud about it.
- Comment on Anon goes on holiday 5 weeks ago:
The entire Upper Peninsula of Michigan is pretty awesome. The Soo Locks, the Marquette ore dock, Pictured Rocks, and a whole bunch of mine tours and shipping museums. Not to mention beautiful national and state parks. Brockway Mountain is truly an experience in the fall.
Does anybody come to Michigan from abroad for holiday? Or does everybody just conflate it with Detroit?
- Comment on Anon makes a troubling connection 5 weeks ago:
To be fair, with less people there wouldn’t be a housing crisis. And our carbon emissions would be lower.
- Comment on A Nation of Homebodies: A recent study shows Americans are spending notably more time at home, a trend that started long before the pandemic. 1 month ago:
What’s the point of going anywhere? There’s really not much of an incentive to go out there. We have better games at home than in arcades. You can stream an endless amount of content for your entertainment. You can work from home, you can have food and groceries delivered. No need to ever deal with strangers. It’s great.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 1 month ago:
I barely remember it, which is think is a compliment because it just worked! Never had any driver issues or temperature problems, didn’t demand too much power. It just did its job until I needed something more.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 1 month ago:
I built a PC in 2011 with an AMD Phenom II. Can’t remember which one, it may have been a 740. And I’m pretty sure a Radeon HD 5450 until FO4 came out in 2015 and I needed a new graphics card. Upgraded to a Radeon R7 240, and some other AM3 socketed CPU I found for like, $40 on eBay. By no means was I high end gaming over here. And it stayed that way until 2020, when I finally gutted the whole thing and started over. It ran everything I wanted to play. So I got like, 9 years out of about $600 in parts. That’s including disc drives, power supply, case, and RAM. And I’m still using the case. I got my money’s worth out of it, for sure. The whole time we were in our apartment, it was hooked up to our dumb TV. So, it was our only source of Netflix, YouTube, DVDs, and Blu-rays. It was running all the time. Then, I gave all the innards to my buddy to make his dad a PC for web browsing. It could still be going in some form, as far as I know.

I hope you have to point at the person for it to work, so they know it’s you.
- Comment on The writers have run out of ideas 1 month ago:
I by no means want to make light of a terrorist incident, but that is a stupid plan. 9/11 set the bar pretty high for terror. Driving a truck through a crowd is basically at the same level as one angry psychopath. I mean, our own kids do worse in their own schools, so it really was a pointless act. It barely even registers on the terror meter for me. Terror just doesn’t work. Even 9/11! All that did was piss us off to the point of re-electing Dubbya. And now we have the TSA. I suppose if the goal was to make us suffer in the long term, I guess they won there.

I laughed uncontrollably at this. I’m really glad I didn’t see this last night while I was high, I probably would have had a huge asthma attack. It’s gold.

I hope so, too. But you really can’t do much with it without a disk drive. Even Bill there has the expansion unit. Just the computer itself with the tape drive is a horrible way to live. The tape drive can’t play assembly games like the cartridges or floppies, just basic. And of the other popular 8 bit computers of the time, the 99 had the slowest basic implementation. Like, truly a slog to write or play anything with. I found myself never wanting to use it, and so I let it go. It was gorgeous, though.

I just sold mine this summer. Complete in box, with a tape drive and a bunch of games.

No way. That’s from WNEM? That was one of the 4 channels we got in my hometown.
