Well that's good. I was reading that in the UK, they still have lead pipes, but they don't repair them. If they have to repair it, they just replace it. I imagine it's the same here. No one's laying new lead pipes anywhere that I know of.

Where are you from? Lead pipes are still a thing most everywhere unfortunately. A relic of the past. They aren't used for new construction, but they are a problem with older infrastructure.

I have a fairly unusual, albeit not unheard of, first name. As far as I can tell, I'm sharing my first and last name with 5 or so people in the US. Back in 2008 or so I nabbed first.last@gmail.com (I also own www.firstlast.com haha). Every so often one of my brethren will use my email at dicks sporting goods or something. I always finish activating the account for them and sign them up for text alerts or something. Nothing evil. I figure they can just reply "stop" to opt out.

I know the feeling. A few months ago I randomly got a video call from my boss. Both he and the owner of the company were in the line. They let me know that they unfortunately had to let go of almost everyone on the dev team. Some funding had fell through (gotta love startups). Fortunately, I got to keep my job that day, but I can't shake the feeling that another layoff is right around the corner.

It's not real, that's the Mediterranean sea.

No, we haven't perfected the pheasant yet.

Why don't you go eat a pheasant, you commie.

Once we perfect it, you mean.

I don't at the moment. I accidentally left it in the handicapped stall of a Walmart restroom a few weeks ago.

I guarantee there was a lack of trigger discipline at play

It's hard to explain. At least for me, it helps me see things from another perspective. I work in web dev, and one of my favorite activities is to smoke a little bit, then work on my side projects. Some of my best work has come from my hyper focused, high, programming sessions.

Weed really kinda follows you wherever you take it. If you wanna veg out on the couch and watch TV, it'll facilitate that for you. If you wanna go down a research rabbit hole on some obscure topic, it'll facilitate that just fine too.

My town was supposed to get a bucees, but they were requiring that the town expand the road to accommodate the immense amount of traffic that a bucees pulls in. Fortunately they got told to pound sand and they backed out. I like bucees. I think they're overrated AF, but I do appreciate a nice rest stop. What I don't want is one anywhere near where I live. I went to one one time where the traffic was backed out onto the interstate.

Nope, it hasn't been legal for some time.

Edit: Sorry, I was thinking of medical insurance. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act doesn't apply to life insurance.

Oh wowwww. Look at mr/mrs bigshot over here with 192 GB of ram.

Why so secretive of your ram?

Honestly, dude clearly doesn't want this. He just doesn't want the shame that would come with stepping down at this point.

You could use your twm within kde or xfce. I've never done it, but people who have seem to be happy with it.

You mean when they started playing ads?

Youtube operated at a loss for years

I'm... at a loss. Can you rephrase these comments please?
