  Yeah, its either a cold cream soup or a heavily dressed salad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online Oxford English Dictionary puts definitions/meanings and usage behind paywall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The Unabridged Oxford English Dictionary is $1,400 in a hardback set, if you’d rather.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the main device to hammer in a nail?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To answer this question correctly we need to use my favorite super power: pedantry. The meme suggest the rules of who wants to be a millionaire are in play, but that is not expressly stated. Furthermore we’re going to ignore our societal training at recognizing multiple choice questions because, again, we’re not given instructions.

  With these powers combined, the question is ambiguous as it doesn’t specify the set from which we are choosing. Using the 4 options below the question is an assumption. Therefore we have to conclude that we’re choosing from an infinite set of options, every possible decimal value from 0 to 100.

  The answer is an extremely small percentage, approaching zero.

  Whew, for a second I thought I saw myself in that pic. Then I realized I’m drinking a can of soda this morning, so I can go about my business without any troubling self-reflection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My collection is growing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Flat pack furniture has been propping up the hex stock industry for decades now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't try to stop me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend Jules told me that, in France, the idiom is about comparing apples to pears.

  And they call a quarter pounder with cheese a royale with cheese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me irl⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve done lab work, but the ol’ lab coat comes out for Halloween every few years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go Green⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know specifically, but generally hybrids need to be in the same genus. Tomatoes are nightshades and I think cannabis is in the bamboo side of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to update your bingo cards⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I side bet infected lab monkeys every time, just in case. Like playing 0 on the roulette table.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you even old enough to remember number 1?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a kid you couldn’t choose your phone. Or I guess you could choose between wall mounted of tabletop. They were leased from the phone company when you paid for a phone line.

  My grandmother kept her bakelite rotary phone until she couldn’t call her doctor without a touchtone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandfather had a rule for this kids, and my mom passed it down to me.

  You can’t have a license until you can:

  • Check and fill all the vehicle fluids
  • Perform an oil change
  • Change a tire
  • Drive a manual transmission
  • Change belts and hoses

  I learned on a stick. I even did some learning on my uncle’s beetle with a broken clutch (they were reasonable optional on the OG Bug). And I have not been behind of the wheel of one since. Still glad I learned all that stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  banana ball?

  If we make that slang for tennis ball then we’re molding the world to suit our memes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slow ass apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ancient Mayan calendar was right about 2012, its just a slower process than we thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know the motivations of all the people who were working but I’m willing to bet Graham Bell did to bother employees during their off hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're so predictable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This one has never worked for me, because if I see a long number without commas or periods I have to stop and figure out. I couldn’t hope to read that number until I solved to puzzle of whether is started with “million” or “billion.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the first I’m hearing it, and I feel like I’ll always be just a little bit sadder now that I know its a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Secondsies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the doctors orders I eat 2 breakfasts, I’m not letting a pharmacy screw up the good thing I’ve got going!

  But what insurance is requiring 90 days and are they taking signups? Mine forces everything to 30 unless I use their mail pharmacy that constantly loses orders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You save a lot of money wringing every penny of value from all your electronics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Replace things?

  Virtually every computing device I’ve ever owned is somewhere in the house I’m in. I sold my first PC (a Leading Edge 8088 IBM clone) and I still regret it. It’d been hard to get hooked into my homelab, but I would have figured it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping that MFer on its toes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I drink unsweetened tea and diet cola all day, I don’t know what my body is complaining about. You know what, fine here’s half a jar of peanut butter on a pop tart!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arby's steak bites⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You always braise rodent knees. Did Arby’s parents teach them nothing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was I thinking?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “That’s a problem for future me, that guy’s a jerk anyway.”

  the next morning: “Past me is an asshole.”

  Or we know all about them and avoid them at almost all cost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We tore our front lawn out this summer. By the time we were working in July the (clay) soil under the sod was brick hard for 18 inches before it got workable again.

  The yard is now 70% native and the area with high sun is drought tolerant. It’s only been a few weeks and already the pollinators are here in force and there’s a pair of morning doves that come by to hang out most mornings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
