I, too, nominate this person’s mother

Gotcha. Around here (also US) it’s just an excuse to pull over certain people. It’s used very selectively. TBH I wish they would enforce it equitably, there is a ton of people in this area that never use their turn signal

NGL it is a problem, because who tf gets pulled over for failure to signal? It’s just an excuse to pull someone over for DWB.

I bought a two bay Synology for $270, and a 20TB hdd for $260. I did this for multiple reasons. The HDD was on sale so I bought it and kept buying things. Also I couldn’t be buggered to learn everything necessary to set up a homemade NAS. Also also i didn’t have an old PC. My current PC is a Ship of Theseus that I originally bought in 2006.

You’re not wrong about an equivalent NAS to my current pc specs/capacity being more expensive. And yes i did spend $500+ on my NAS And yet I also saved several days worth of study, research, and trial and error by not building my own.

That being said, reducing e-waste by converting old PCs into Jellyfin/Plex streaming machines, NAS devices, or personal servers is a really good idea

Like, in the lower molar, where it meets the gums? Or suctioned to the base of your tongue? Cause one of those is common, and it ain’t the suction one

Ha! Pull the other one, it’s got bells on

Oh. Yeah. I really shouldn’t post late at night after drinking. Although I was surprisingly coherent despite my brain not fully working.

Schumer’s efforts during the shutdown aren’t really connected to the last paragraph. I was rambling and the two thoughts aren’t connected. Philosophically I have strong doubts that anyone in his position wouldn’t be swayed by special interest money, but that is a conversation for a different place. I’ll edit my original post when I’m a little more awake

It’s simple, really. You can’t get an economic downturn without human misery. And the big money people can’t consolidate their holdings and acquire profitable companies at bargain basement prices if the economy is doing well. They don’t want some messy financial crisis or pandemic creating unexpected problems. They want a predictable downturn that only affects the poors and a few unlucky upper middle class types. Then they can keep the funding they want and have a large and desperate labor pool to staff their newly acquired holdings. Win-win, at least for the people that matter.

You know. Not us

It’s not that “both sides are the same”. It’s just that enough on all sides are bought and paid for that it doesn’t matter if a few actually are trying to do good. Personally I don’t see a reality where Schumer is not bought and paid for. And any efforts to circumvent the powers that be will be a nonstarter while the compromised ones hold power

Edit: While the last part is still something I believe, I posted this late at night and started rambling. It’s not relevant to the OP and can be picked up in a more appropriate conversation another time

Can he be buried at Royal Hospital Chelsea? You know, for convenience?

Is a breakfast burrito a sandwich?

Asking for a friend

I made one yesterday. I tried using 100% butter in the crust instead of 50/50 butter/shortening. It was delicious. Harder to work, i wound up putting it in the fridge for a couple hours so that I could work it before it got too soft, but absolutely delicious. Melt in you mouth top crust, with just the right about of flake.

I also made the rue thicker than usual, knowing most of it would be lunch later this week. After resting for an hour it had the consistency of a fresh quiche, almost like a custard. Thus my shower (kitchen) thought

Booooo! Get out of here with that reasonable and accurate analysis! We’re not here for truth, we’re here for shower facts

(Yes you are correct, eggs =/= chicken as an ingredient. You learn this when you try to use pureed chicken breast as an egg replacement in cake. It was a meaty cake)

Same!

Binging Fargo rn, season one is pretty great so far

Is it possible the water rights are too restrictive in Colorado for their liking? I know there’s a lot of environmental restrictions and requirements for construction there. My friend’s brother makes serious money as a soil inspection engineer (not sure about his actual job title) in the mountains. If he says the ground isn’t stable the build doesn’t happen.

Sounds like Ohio with mountains and better PR
