Not just stolen - inceptioned

All the education invalidated by the release of Windows 8

We're also stupid beyond belief. Have you considered removing your sense of shame and any semblance of introspection?

But on a more pragmatic note, I think a lot of comfort in (anything, but especially in) social situations requires putting in the repetitions and trying to model certain people or traits. Who do you aspire to resemble? I've always appreciated media with fast-paced, witty dialog. Sitcoms from the 90s (for example, Seinfeld or Friends, to name a couple); movies by, for example, Kevin Smith or Guy Ritchie, and just becoming more comfortable with the language. Read more, watch more, expand your vocabulary, learn and master figures of speech. Then find people to hang out with and practice. Go for coffee, or a walk, or a beer, and be candid with your companions about your desires to speak captivatingly and confidently.

...or are you?

Won't someone think of the shareholders?!

Snake oil futures 🚀

Point taken but it reminds me of an old proverb: hate not the player, as the game is that which should be despised.

I appreciate that it's the first different take on an EV or cars in general since, well, Tesla? The customizability options, low starting price, and they've done some fun marketing stunts so far. There may be plenty of reasons to be skeptical about it and perhaps it'll even flop or be ghostware, but (the option for) a non-fastback crossover SUV with physical buttons has me, again, hopeful.

I'm leaving my phone somewhere very far away from my actual location. Check and mate, assassin.

I'm so hopeful that the Telo will see the light of day, or at least the Slate.

I've always had pretty sensitive skin and trouble with razor burn and then ingrown hairs and acne after shaving. I've used everything from cheap single- and dual- blade generic, disposable razors to Mach 3 (and four- and five-blade razors with handles that you replace the cartridges on) to electric shavers (Norelco-style with the three round foils as well as the Braun-style straight foil) to eventually safety razors. I've actually had the best luck with safety razors and trying to find a routine and style of shaving that keeps my skin less angry, as well as using a blade that works for me.

A friend told me about Henson razors. They're manufactured to really tight tolerances to keep the blade from slipping around while you're pulling it across your face and I think the angle of the blade is different than most safety razors. It has been a night and day difference for me. I can actually shave faster and more haphazardly than before and I no longer cut myself shaving. And the best part is I no longer get razor burn, even when shaving against the grain. (Depending on the texture of your hair you may need the AL13-M model. I find that shaving pubic or body hair takes forever with their standard AL-13, but also it keeps you from cutting your balls off.)

How about generic guys with no special talents in particular but the gift of gab?

Okay, now do Chocolate Rain

All of them for a brief time, but then only one: quickest to be dethroned from every single world record.

Well someone isn't getting their Christmas bonus (their family can live)

So we all agree that it's peak Silicon Valley.

Pretty sure he got rid of some of his first term appointees. Maybe some inspectors general and he may have railed against a judicial appointee or three as a "radical Marxist"?

Nice pet monkeys you've got there

Funny, they told us it was all because of DEI...

This is all good advice. I just wanted to point out that most of the traps on Amazon are knockoffs of the Flip & Slide from Rinne Corp. Shawn Woods covers it here on Mousetrap Mondays: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pHwvVPT202Y

His channel is great, and I believe he mentions in a later video that besides stealing Rinne's design, many of the knockoffs don't work as well due to sloppier manufacturing tolerances. I've ordered from them (both this design and Shawn Wood's Dizzy Dunker) and I felt better than if I had bought a counterfeit through Amazon.

He's driving, of course.
