Poor Kenny in 5D. RIPeace

Dealing with potentially 100°F/38°C summers and sub 0°F/-18°C winters

You have any idea how much Roundup costs?! Just cut the plants down instead of spraying them.

Very common question but no one wants to hear the truth... You don't.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but for the majority of people you kind of don't. The social situations where you might meet people in your you ger days are closing or have already closed.

School is usually a big one for most, but after a certain age, you're not likely to be in school any longer and if you are, then you'll be considerably older than others.

Work is another one, but recent trends work against that. People tend to work at places for a short period of time before they jump ship. Shorter period of time, short number of connections you might make. Also with the hysteria over sexual harassment, people tend to not want anything to do with finding close connections these days at work. And of course working from home is clearly the biggest killer. You're not going to connect with someone over a few Teams messages.

People tend to be less physically active as they get older, so meeting people on a team sport tends to be less common.

Lastly everything kind of snowballs. The less friends you have, the less friends-of-friends you might meet. And if you have some friends that are in a relationship, then forget about it. They'll want to spend time with their significant other, and god forbid they get married and have kids. You'll never see those people again unless you also have kids. I'm not painting a very positive picture here, but I think it's way more realistic than many want to admit.

Back in his heyday Kenny in 5D could have. But not after his divorce. That really broke him. He missed his kids, but that bitch of an ex wife wouldn't let him see them. He was just a shell of a man after that. Of course now Kenny in 5D is dead. Rest in peace, Kenny in 5D.

I was waiting for someone to post this link

Kenny in 5D actually died 2 weeks ago but his body hasn't decomposed yet because he has his AC set for 65 degrees. Eventually it will stink up the place and force Tom in 4D to relocate for 3 weeks as his apartment is cleaned up after Kenny in 5D's body liquefied and soaks through the floor and into Tom in 4D's ceiling.

DeSatan is going to take credit for all the money Biden gives the state. What's worse is that so many average people who don't follow the news will probably believe him.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if right wing loons come up with some kind of story that Biden was the one who didn't want to meet in person. They always have to spin their stories and distort the truth.

It probably would work if you had a large enough pool of people, but how much bigger can you get than if 300 million people were pooled together and collectively they negotiated rates on drugs and doctor visits? Thus the ultimate idea of some form of universal coverage.

Where your idea kind of falls apart is that you need someone to manage all this. Good luck getting Kenny in apartment 5D to take care of this when he can't even turn the volume of his TV down after 10 PM. But I think obama care kind of does this on a state level. I could be wrong, but I think that's what the various marketplaces they talk about are. But each state manages it differently. Not shockingly, red states tend to mismanage things and offer worse services than blue states. In the end it is all a crutch. This should be on a national level like every other industrialized nation offers.

I'm curious how long does your phone battery last these days?

It used to be that my early smartphones from years back would barely last a day and I'd be looking for a charger all the time. With my latest phone, on a reasonably heavy use day, I can go to bed with about 50 to 55% battery left. And last night, I barely used my phone at all and went to bed with like 65 to 70% battery left. And to be clear, it wasn't sitting on a charger all day either. I got up, went to work and at the end of the night was left either enough battery to last be the entire weekend if I had continued the low usage.

Battery tech, and CPU and screen efficiency has advanced enough to where getting 2 days is not uncommon and I don't care if it takes a couple of hours to recharge it at night. I also think much of the initial excitement of having a smartphone has died down so I'm not on it 24/7. Also having a tablet to offload some usage time helps as well.

So ultimately super fast chargers seem almost useless to me for most situations if they degrade the battery at all.

The real story is that the guy bought a mushroom foraging book off Amazon. But it was a real, legit one, not one of the erroneous ones. The sad part is that he used ChatGPT to translate it into Russian, and that's when it all went south.

Even more little known fact: Putin himself is indeed a mushroom.

America's mayor and Russia's puppet.

Is that device out of production? They might be counting on limited availability to jack up prices.

Is that product not available in all markets? They might be counting on someone in Sweden, who might not be able to buy that device is willing to pay a premium.

Was there a recent price drop? Maybe this is listed in the product's old peice amd they are slow to drop it.

I wonder if it it just straight up money laundering.

That's a rounding error.

Believe me, I hope to hell you're right, but when it comes down to it, it seems like wishful thinking from the Internet.

Well I think y'all is as much southern as it is Texan. But what does my northern Yankee ass know? Just stay away from all them hicks.

Absolutely no good reason not to have a license. Be it for the occasional rental or borrowing someone's car once in a while. Or just being able to drive someone's car across town if something happened.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Fuck Haley, but she is right about the nursing home part. But there is a fix that Americans don't want to admit - their voting - or LACK OF voting - is what is keeping these elderly Senators in office. Of course she is an opportunist twat that is only saying this to try to hit at Biden indirectly by bringing up the age issue.

I hate to admit it but Prime actually tastes really good.
