Can’t find the post, but a guy was talking about “Texas oblast” in response to obvious Russian propaganda. Still google every time I think “Texas oblast”.

This is old, had me laughing maniacally first time I saw it.

Apologies to my gay friends, but I’m betting you get a giggle too. Laughed out loud more than once on this one.

Anecdotally, I don’t know anyone that uses it. In the years working IT since the Store came out, not a single coworker has asked me about it.

Logging into my customer’s computers and I don’t see any evidence that they use it either.

My phone has a 22000mAh battery. I never consider charging it unless I’m going to the woods overnight, and then only to be sure I have a power bank.

Bought, cheaply, and paid for by AIPAC. Until this war I had no idea how politically deep they are.

See my post. They can hardly fuck up the standard OBDII interface without huge repercussions for the industry.

For anyone like OP here, get a BT device that plugs in the computer. Then get the Android app, free but worth paying for if you want more bells and whistles. I had a hacked version but was so pleased I bought it to always have on future phones.

You can see and lookup engine codes, see what’s wrong with your car. It kind of a trip what all it does. I’m not gearhead, but when the car acts up, I can get a clue. Also clears annoying gremlin lights.

For $6 I consider it a “must have”. While you’re at it, get an air pump that plugs in the cigarette lighter. Saved me tons of hassle.

If you squint real hard, the first creation myth in Genisis is pretty close to evolution.

Up and down. Depression hit me super hard, slept/read 14-hour days, but despite that, there were some great things.

Took the family out on my little 10’ boat and watched the downtown fireworks from the river. We were directly underneath, cardboard shells raining on us! What a rush! None of us has ever seen anything like it.

Been limping along with a shit fridge that barely works. Got a new one from FB for $200! Nicest fridge I’ve ever had. Going to be a huge project swapping them. Hell, getting it out of the other guy’s house was a chore.

And tonight we’re hitting Aldi and loading up on food. Can’t wait to have a good fridge, freezer and ice maker again.

Dry them in the sun, reduces wear a great deal. Also nukes fungi.

I didn’t truly understand how much energy incandescent were burning. Grew up with nothing but those.

One night my AC crapped out in my tiny apartment so I killed the lights except one in a far corner. The air was so still I could reach my hand out and sense the heat from a 60W bulb.

One of those saved my ass on a solo, overnight kayaking trip. I mostly brought beer, ice and food in my tow-behind cooler because I had a Life Straw.

The trip was hell, most difficult thing I’ve ever done, wasn’t sure I’d make it out. Was good on water until the next day when I finally broke out onto the main creek.

Cut the top off a can and sucked down 7 refills of creek water. Tasted exactly like warm, flat, tap water.

the EPA hadn’t killed them with poorly written standards

Thank you! I see so many people blaming the manufacturers for greed. No, the EPA killed the small truck. Perfect example of well-meaning laws paving the road to hell.

And so is every Coke bottle with 5 times the plastic. And so is every store-bought coffee. Yet… silence. 🦗🦗🦗

What about bottles? Far more energy requires to melt and pour glass. No one says a word about single use.

Never found a K-cup on the beach or trail, but I pack plastic bags to haul trash and sometimes load 2 or 3.

Yes, it’s a waste, but the whole thing was blown way the hell out of proportion.

I hike, kayak, canoe, whatever, all over the place. Every plastic bottle I pick up contains, what, 5 times the plastic? I pick up a LOT. And nobody thinks twice or raises a fuss.

We use a Keurig, but either with plastic refill cups or paper bags my wife brings home from the hotel.

The vegemite sandwiches are enough to keep me away.

Such as falling whales?

I’m using a wall-mounted TV as a 2nd monitor.

I am streaming to my TV. 50" TV on my desktop for a daily driver, 55" (wired) on the wall for media.
