Sorry. My brain is buffering.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

The one I go to does this. One line and they call out which lane is opening next for you to go to. The long line is arranged perpendicular to the registers and It really doesn’t seem to take up that much more space compared to stores that don’t do that.

Last time I did install work we used double sided Velcro for cable management. I snagged a roll and made a jig to split it in half with a box knife to get twice as much and I’ve still got a ton left over a decade later. It’s really handy stuff to have around and better than zip ties in most applications I use it for.

I wrote a powershell script to rename and reorder about 1000 comic books based off a reading order I put in a csv file once

I think this was the game I rented once as a kid and never saw again but pops up as a memory every so often and I could never remember the name… Gonna check it out again.

I can let that one slide if it’s on their car. They could be just trying to get out of tickets.

What’s wrong with it?

Interesting. I had exactly the same reaction to graduating from high school.

Cooking. IDK why but everyone assumes I don’t know how to cook. I must fit a stereotype or something. The last time I lived alone I cooked (or had leftovers of something I cooked) every night for like 8 months. I tell people that and they are always surprised. It’s a big reason I hate living with roommates because the kitchen situation is so chaotic I can’t really do that anymore.

Maybe not a full blown slum but definitely slum adjacent up until we moved when I was in grade school. I don’t remember ever going without anything at home but my surroundings were pretty awful. I had my shoes stolen multiple times while I was riding the bus and would get chased home by older kids wanting to take my backpack and stuff or just beat me up. I remember me and the girl in my class who lived next door rushing to try and get there first every day so we could sit near the front and hopefully get off fast and get away to not get fucked with. Crime in the area was also really bad and there were a lot of break ins. The worst thing I remember was a lady up the street from us had a couple guys break into her home and they raped her in front of her kids. I think living in that environment fucked me up a little bit because I had all kinds of social issues at the new school after we moved. My brother was younger and never had to deal with any of that stuff and he turned out pretty normal.

Same. Keeps my reports nice and organized.

It’s more efficient to say June 1st. I suppose you could say 1st June though. Not sure if anyone does that.

My razor handle was manufactured in the 50s

Can you define what you were asking for in terms of support from your friends? I’ve not been married but I’ve been through some shitty breakups and I’ve never really even considered asking my friends for anything. Like I don’t even know what they could do to help matters. I just had to deal with all the emotional stuff and move on. If anything I think a lot of them would have made the situation more toxic in their efforts to make me feel better.

I’m not asking this to tell you to get over it even though it probably sounds that way. I’m trying to understand what someone else in this situation is actually looking for that will help them. I’m sorry you’re not getting what you need.

1: the first thing every cop says at a stop is “turn the engine off and put your key on the dash” if you haven’t done that by the time he gets to your window

I’ve been pulled over many times and have never experienced this.

This is a good one. I’d have died of dehydration if I’d had a PC with access to the internet in my room as a teenager. Also learning to cover my tracks and circumvent restrictions my parents put on the shared family computer taught me valuable computer skills.

Experiencing the benefits of strength training day to day (being able to move heavy shit easily and not struggle with things that I used to) also seeing how I look in the mirror after I do it helps.

RIP my parity partition that one time.

It’s not all my data but I use backblaze for offsite backup. One of the reasons I can’t drop Windows. I don’t have anywhere I travel often enough to do a physical drop off and when I tried setting a file server up at my parents but they would break shit by fucking with their router every time they had an internet outage or moving it around (despite repeated being told to call me first).
