There are few greater antipoles to me and "my whole thing" than my dad, but... He taught me the value of being cautious, and to take time to extensively evaluate pros and cons before I made important decisions. I took that ball and ran with it, and now I am routinely praised by my peers for my ability to foresee potential pitfalls and preemptively negate them, and reflexively I think of my dad who would suggest that it was just common sense.

Of course it's not just "common sense" -- but rather a curious mindset and an intentional thought process -- and you instilled that in me, Dad. Thank you.

I thought the picture surely had to be CG or AI created at first.

Same... This photo is so surreal, I immediately thought of Simon Stalenhag.

My grandfather used to say this all the time. He was such a humble man, too, so it always got a good "dad joke" chuckle. Glad to see it's still out there.

I got my dad an Anker Bluetooth speaker a year or so ago that was subject to a recall due to the rechargeable battery inside presenting a fire hazard.

Fortunately, by way of the serial number, his was not one of the effected units, but I had the same question you did when I saw this article.

I always assumed they were just another way for people to broadcast mundane factoids about themselves to total strangers that don't care. Like an early form of social media, if you will.

Like I bet if alcohol was something you had to snort...

This reminded me of this ancient internet video where a few guys (allegedly) "inhale" alcohol by adding dry ice and breathing in the vapors. Doesn't look to be very effective, but if it was, I'd at least try it.

Also, what is the tactical advantage of shitting your pants?

Just think of all the time you save. It adds up!

SINGLED

These adapters were perfect... The only problem was that personal CD players of the same era skipped when you looked at them wrong.

Will it be yet another Borderlands game that I don't buy until the GOTY edition goes on sale for less than $20? "It might be."

It only takes one picture for a complete stranger to know that you did.

Soft boiled egg, always. I usually have some kimchi, so that, too. Got a bag of nori sheets for sushi, so I cut up some of that as well. Made my own chili oil, and a friend got me some momofuku chili crisp, and I alternate between those two. Always growing some green onion out back, so some of that, too... Sliced ham? Hell yeah. I also keep a jar of pickled carrots shreds, so why not. Thin slivers of red onion, too. Toasted sesame seeds sometimes, just a little, for texture.

Ramen takes a long time to make at my place, but I got just about whatever you could want.

The Dollop comes to mind.

Crazy. Today at work I accidentally pressed the intercom button on my phone and approximately 600 people unexpectedly heard a really loud "BOOP" with no message or followup whatsoever, all at the same time, and it made me think of this.

The Great Mouse Detective (1986).
