We took a cruise for our honeymoon.

On that cruise we stopped in Cozumel.

In Cozumel there was this shady little zoo that had manatees that we fed lettuce.

Later there was a sea lion show, and he walked around after getting pets from the crowd.

I couldn’t believe how much that sea lion felt exactly like our German Shorthair Pointer. Like, same exact coat.

Anyway that’s the whole point of the story. Sea lions feel like shorthaired dogs.

Most domesticated bee species aren’t native to the US. It’s quite possible they are just getting bee-ported.

I don’t know…this mightve been a believable outcome by like 2002 or 2003 or so…W in power, USA PATRIOT act in effect, ICE replacing INS. A few years later and Sarah Palin has a legit shot at veep and kicks off the tea party movement.

Democrats had also just recently (as in, 2000) lost the presidency due to a SCOTUS decision and environmentalists who thought Gore wasn’t good enough (Nader’s vote count in FL was higher than Bush’s official final margin).

You can get a house working in McDonald’s.

You just need to be the sole heir of someone who owns a house and either be patient, or proactive.

Ah, -screte/-screet. Motherfucker.

Aww full length porn is tight.

You want increased birthrate? This is step 1.

Of course I think that if Musk controlled a government dating site, it wouldn’t show white people any non-white matches. And wouldn’t support anything except two person, male/female relationships.

Security and messaging is tricky to get right. Government uses a lot of COTS stuff because it’s easier to have someone to sue when shit goes south.

That’s not to say that everything involved here isn’t a flagrant violation of every protocol and procedure involved in protecting classified information. It is.

Vinny Pazienza, aka The Pazmanian Devil, aka Vinny Paz, aka Paz. Was another boxer.

George Foreman grills suck.

His grill. It drained out all the flavor.

George Foreman was the shitty burger guy.

Paz just broke his neck in a car accident, sued his driver for a million bucks, got drunk all the time, and started beating his wife and passing bad checks.

But what George did to burgers is irredeemable.

They could’ve stopped at Purple and my life would be fulfilled enough.

I’m really digging the irony of this thread…

A machinist? And they specialize in front wheel transaxles?

That’s cool, but a lot of people (myself included) aren’t able to justify a brand new laptop. I can absolutely afford a new laptop…I just have no desire to buy one when older ones work just fine and have plenty of life in them.

My current laptop is a T495 that I bought at a flea market two years ago for $100 and it still handles all of my needs completely fine. My kid is using a T470 I bought not too long before that for around the same price, and it does everything he needs too (though it could stand to handle Minecraft JE a bit better…but in fairness he installs nearly every mod he finds and I never really taught him about adjusting settings).

If you aren’t doing high-end gaming or video editing, practically any computer can handle like 95% of other daily home computer tasks.

That said, his laptop speakers are blown…so maybe it’s time I start looking for an upgrade for me. Kids are good for that type of stuff. Still remember convincing my wife we needed to get him a Switch for Christmas…his first Christmas. I wouldn’t buy myself a switch…but for my 5 month old kid? Yeah he needs Breath of the Wild.

Hold on to your butts.

Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.

I want to listen to Cake.

I wanna listen to Cake today.

I wanna listen…to Cake…

This is the bad thing about finding a good employer…the type you feel okay staying at a long time because they treat you well, the pay is reasonable and the benefits are great.

That’s where I’m at now, and I’m starting to get bit in the ass by my own harebrained ideas, too.

Me explaining why anything is the way it is at work…

Well you see…before I started they had this hare-brained idea, and I’ve been trying to fix it every year since.

But you get the idea of the joke.

Right?""")
