Yeah this is one of those ones like:
She’s not wrong, but also, she can get bent.
It does however set a precedent for other celebrities and people going forward so I’m kinda with her on this one. If there’s one person who can make a stink about this and have it matter, it’s probably her.
It would have been better if it was one of the likeable celebrities. Like Keanu Reeves.
But I guess you take what you can get.
That’s macadamia; you’re thinking of a small, pear-shaped stringed instrument with a narrow neck and eight strings.
You know when you see an advertisement for a casino, and they have a picture of a guy winning money? That’s false advertising, because that happens the least. That’s like if you’re advertising a hamburger, they could show a guy choking. “This is what happened once.”

Cake, huh? Maybe some kind of cake that you cook in a pan? Some kind of pan-cake?
Where my Smart Launcher crew at? Usually you guys show up when it’s time to shit on Nova.
Anyway, if you like the features an ease-of-use of Nova, and you are looking for an alternative, Smart Launcher all day. A played with so many of the other launchers mentioned in this thread before I found SL, and it really feels like the best to me. But that’s just like, my opinion, man.
My wife and I were in the market for a new car and she faught me pretty hard on the Minivan. We wanted to go with a Honda and we needed something with a 3rd row because of kids and family. So we were between the Pilot and the Odyssey. We went to the dealer and climbed around inside of each car and pressed all the buttons to get an idea of what they are like. As we were leaving she was like “God Damnit… I love the Odyssey”
And that’s how we became Minivan people.
Fellow Ody driver here. Image means nothing to me. My car is a utility to get my family from spot A to spot B. The Odyseey does that in the best possible way. It’s comfortable, roomy, I can slide seats around, put up or down the 3rd row. I can fit suitcases and bikes in the trunk at the same time. It gets pretty good milage, and it’s a Honda so it should easily get well over 200k miles with basic maintenence.
I got a really good deal on a one year old model with the Sport trim at the dealership that they couldn’t get rid of because it wasn’t “new” and therefore the interest was higher. I just got the loan through my wife’s union and that problem was solved.
It’s “Sonic Gray” with the black rims and details. I threw some big magnetic flame decals on the back quarter panels just to let people know how serious I am about appearances.
Sometimes when we are in a rush to get somewhere, I flip down my sunglasses and say “I’m engaging sport mode” and turn on the sport mode and use the paddle shifters.
I fuckin love this thing.
I don’t think the examples in the song are even a coincidence. Just unfortunate. Like… Rain on your wedding day?
“Though…the meta aspect of this is that a song called “Ironic” that misuses the word is actually…kinda ironic. Maybe that was the real artistry at work and we all just missed it. 🤷🏻”
Pretty sure this was intentional. A song named Ironic that doesn’t have any actual examples of irony is in itself ironic. That’s the joke.
This game is still a staple at LAN parties. And yes, LAN parties are still a thing.
I have a sister in law like this. She’s really cool and we generally get along but God damn is she hard to deal with sometimes.
There was one instance where it was our niece’s birthday and we had made this shitty balloon arch for pictures. When it came to the end of the party and we needed to break it all down, I knew that a bunch of the balloons had like confetti in them. She was helping with the breakdown, and I had dealt with these before so I was like “watch out for the confetti balloons, try to cut them open near the know and let the air out slow, and do it over a garbage can incase it pops. They will shoot confetti everywhere if they pop and it’s a pain in the ass to clean up” and she just turned at me with tho most vitriol “ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO MANSPLAIN TO ME HOW TO POP BALLOONS?!” and I was like “Okay jeez, was just trying to help”
Not two minute later I see her with a pin just popping the balloons off of the arch. Fucking confetti everywhere. I turned to my wife, who saw the exchange and I was like “yeah I’m not helping clean that up”
This is the same woman who screams about body shaming etc, and when she expressed interest in one of my friends who is Japanese said “He’s hot but it’s too bad he probably has a small dick”. Like… That’s racist AND body shaming.
We agree on a lot of things socially and politically, and like I said generally we get along, but she also complains very loudly about how she can’t keep relationships sustained and it’s like… Yo, all you do is vocally complain about how men are the source of all problems. But you also want to be with one?
Like, look… I’m all in support of feminism, but it should be about rising women up, not chopping men down. I didn’t choose to be born with a penis. Why am I automatically an enemy? I’m an ally.
Fuck.
I work for an org with ~1700 Surface Laptop 7 ARM deployed. They are actually really nice. Managing them with Intune is a breeze (including BIOS management), and Windows ARM is actually getting 3rd party app support now (Thanks, Apple!)
Yes, yes. Microslop, I know. But we are talking end user computing here.
“Onions make me sad, a lot of people don’t realize that. When I’m cutting onions, I’m sad. Because the plight of onions, it’s sad. But people don’t realize I’m actually crying - they think I’m just reacting.”

I got got this way with some bonds that my grandmother bought me when I was born. They were some kind of long term bonds that took a very long time to mature. I had no idea that I even had them, they were in my parents closet or something, and my parents completely forgot about them as well. I was like 35 when they gave them to me. At that point they had been fully matured for a very long time, but because of inflation, the buying power of the money earned actually made them worth less. I forget the exact numbers, but it was like:
$100 matured to $200
But a quick lookup with an inflation calculator, $100 from the year I was born showed that it had the same buying power as $280 now. So the $100, while going up in number, actually went down in value. Certainly better than keeping the $100 under the mattress, but that sucked.
Oh and it was significantly more than $100. Nothing near life changing amounts of money, but probably money that I could have used earlier in my life - to help with student loans or something. When there was less inflation.
When I was 19 I was in a band with this really strange kid. He was super charismatic though, and just seemed to make friends with anybody he met. One of those people happened to be this 40 year old bus driver. We went over his place one time to smoke a joint, and he showed us his grow room. This was in like 2005 or so, so all very illegal. He got in my face about not telling anybody and how I better not be a narc. Anyway… Then we ate some pot brownies and watched a movie. The brownie I ate wasn’t doing anything so I ate another and learned a very important life lesson about edibles. If you’re not feeling the first one, don’t eat the second one. I was high as fuck. Banished to the shadow realm, some might say. Took a few hours to regain my composure and walked home. It was a weird fuckin night.
So yeah. Probably anecdotal but “what do school bus drivers do when not driving a school bus?” - grow weed, and eat pot brownies with teenage punk rockers and watch movies.
Joints look good! I would maybe look into cleaning the contact pads on the bottom of the cartridge though. It may work fine now, but those things can corrode and it looks like yours may have already started. A liitle preventative maintenance could extend the life by quite a bit.
Side note on soldering - isn’t it crazy how easy people make it look in YouTube videos and what not? Like, they always just heat up and flow so perfectly and so quickly on the first try every time. I guess it comes with experience. It took me a long time to get the hang of it, and I still can’t do what those folks do. Anyway, your solder looks great. Proud of you, too.

Glad somebody else posted it. Glad it still exists. Some of the internet is still hilarious and amazing.
Reminds me of this old one:
Wife : Honey, please go to the super market and get 1 bottle of milk. If they have bananas, bring 6.
He came back with 6 bottles of milk.
Wife: Why the hell did you buy 6 bottles of milk?!?!
Husband (confused): BECAUSE THEY HAD BANANAS.
