When I woke up to see the news about the unprovoked assault on Iran, I was sick to my stomach. It’s senseless and my heart goes out to Iranian people that, like me, just want to go about their lives. When I saw gas prices hitting $3.49, I did not feel pity for myself. Instead I thought, good. This will hurt the idiots who support Trump. They are the narcissists that only care about themselves and when they feel pain I am happy
I just wouldn’t want to be someone’s pet
A live in girlfriend with a good job so I could stay home, grow weed and play video games. God i was stupid
I bought a house in the inner city like that. Some things off the top of my head: wiring from a wall switch to the ceiling light was wired with an extension cord. Not a heavy duty orange one, the brown twisty kind you would use for Christmas lights. Knob and tube wiring that was capped at a dead end (no junction box) protruding from a hole in a closet. At the panel everything was updated romex so it was tied in somewhere. Never figured out where. Wires were sliced together in the kitchen ceiling without being in a junction box, squirrels got in and would cause it to short out.
An outlet tester costs $10 and will tell you if outlets are wired properly.
So odd. The trim on the left has a notch cut in it to accommodate the light switch cover? Seems like it would have been easier to move the box on inch to the right or cut the plastic cover rather than the trim? Why not make better use of the space by accessing it from another wall? This looks like a novice handyman’s work. It would make me worry about what you can’t see.
Phone phreaking, the 80’s were so fun. Stolen AT&T calling card numbers enabled you to call long distance for free at a time when calling the next city over could cost 30 cents a minute or more (equivalent to over a buck now). Hacking people’s answering machines was pretty easy. For youngsters, this was a device hooked up to your land line phone to give you voicemail. You could listen to your messages remotely by calling it and entering a password which was very short and limited to numbers. Some had to the capability to change the message that answered the phone. That made for lots of fun
Out of the Inner Circle covered this real well. It was a book printed in the early 80’s
For all we know CB may have been behind the outrage
Reminds me of the Christian Bale batman movie where he could spy on everywhere from the bat cave. Seemed so far fetched it almost ruined the movie
Technically he owns the majority stock in two mega media conglomerates that own these companies. Right now he and his children are fighting over ownership after he dies https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/dec/12/the-guardian-view-on-the-murdoch-family-drama-moguls-death-could-imitate-art
Bold of you to assume folks here pay for their news
There is always the possibility the clog isn’t in the toilet itself but further down the drain. You can test this by running faucets and seeing if the sinks drain properly
This one is from nearly 30 years ago. In my dream I’m approached by 2 policemen who tell me my father has been killed and they need me to come with them for questioning. I’m 100% sure my father is alive and this is all a misunderstanding. I get in the back of their police car laughing that it’s all a waste of time but whatever, no worries. As the car is rolling along I’m looking out the windows as the landscape gradually changes. First it was all tall pine trees then became rocky, then nothing but rocks. While still moving it all fades away and the car disappears and I’m flying. The only other thing I remember is seeing a bird flying with me. It’s a bird I’ve never seen before even though I’m a bit of a backyard birder. There were teardrop shaped things trailing behind it’s wings as if attached by strings. Truly unusual looking. I wake up in the morning and I’m convinced I was tricked into leaving my body by these men claiming to be policemen. Fast forward to just a few weeks ago, someone posts video of a nightjar. A nocturnal bird that looks just like the one in my dream! https://youtu.be/8XqqlC_MoWk

The time gap between the news stories about Trump Media’s terms and the release of the Trump Phone was only a month or less. Not enough time to put together something like that. My personal conspiracy theory has been that it was an attempt to embarrass the press. The phones were ready to be shipped and TM changed the terms to say there was no guarantee any “Device will be commercially released”. They let that play out on the blogs for a while then released the phones. Now the narrative can be “look how wrong The Media was” instead of, “Look at how cheap these phones made in China are”.
