Perhaps you meant as an adult? From my feeble memory, he was already a good person when elected. He divested the peanut farm when taking office (he honored the customs of office), he asked America to put on a sweater during an energy crisis and resisted religious meddling in politics. The hostages were used against him to get Reagan elected and it’s been downhill mostly since.

He was vilified for the things mentioned, the hostage debacle and probably other things that might be valid. I know he wasn’t perfect, but I admire that man for all he did in tough times. Can’t say I feel that way about any other president since. Carter was the type of man we were told to be (back then) in order to become president. How times have changed.

Yes, but I like his video better.

We had other version suited for the office. For example, “Nice tie!” meant “fuck off” or something. Still looking again for the specific one we used in IT 20 years ago.

Rtings is an excellent resource. I always check their opinion on a panel prior to purchase.

Tomshardware sold out years ago just to be clear, btw. I rarely read anything from them anymore.

Dr Otto is a regular in our family. Mr Varney has been revered by us for years. Glad to know others do as well.

I loved watching Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs, but lately he looks like a right wing nut job pushing conspiracies, so you are probably correct.

We’re due? 🤷‍♂️

For a number of years now, work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such an instrument is the turbo encabulator.

Now basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance.

The original machine had a base plate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented.

The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots of the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdle spring on the “up” end of the grammeters.

The turbo-encabulator has now reached a high level of development, and it’s being successfully used in the operation of novertrunnions. Moreover, whenever a forescent skor motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration.

LOL. This has been my avatar in several games/forums for years now. I went and found the image when this was reposted to reddit a few years back. The monkey just looks cool!

Remind me of a joke:

Why is six afraid of seven?

        And in france it was many times in the news about a group of friends who were arrested for using Signal.


  

Citation needed. Your third- or fourth-hand account is so vague that I wonder if the devil has been lost along with the details.

It piqued my curiosity. The only references I could find were the Telegram CEO being arrested earlier this year (widely reported on) and a group arrested in 2023 for associating with a Kurdish militant faction (YPG). That incident had some misdirected media attention towards the encryption tools used.

"Caught", just in case you still wondered how it is spelled. I appreciate your effort, carry on.

This isn’t an original joke, btw. I used to tell it 20 years ago. It was a favorite of mine for a bit.

Related joke:

What do you do when you’re attacked by a gang of clowns?

Go for the juggler.

Buttah we'reah theese aclosa...! 🤌🏼

Eh, seems like it's a little fuzzy depending on whom you ask. I'd still call you a Millennial and that jives with the Generation X Wikipedia page:

"Researchers and popular media often use the mid-1960s as its starting birth years and the late 1970s as its ending birth years, with the generation being generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980."

The shit apple doesn't fall far from the shit tree.

Yes, you've got it. Now go apologize to poor Todd.

Ah, I see now. Thank you for the link. They are indeed wonderful, but I love the simplicity of Owen's. All are heaps nicer than ours which now seem boring.

But Owen...you're Canadian..! :-O

What state/locale is this sticker from? I very much admire this sense of humor. Were the other options as entertaining?
