I have USB cables twice as old as your blanket, probably even some I’ve never used.

“Gowl”

2 years and 2 weeks. I must have left a tad early.

We don’t even beer any more. The downsides outweigh the upsides. Cuddle, watch movies, work on the house or garden, play Pokemon.

Crank is great! Another JS movie in that category is The Transporter. Totally a B action movie but the premise is unique, the fight scenes are clever (the oil fight!), and the electronic music score is très magnifique. The love aspect, however, is terribly written and cringey. Crank did that part better, and Amy Smart is hilarious.

Have you heard the Tenacious D song “Two Kings”?

Yeah the iPad mini is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t suck. I wish Android would offer something decent in 8” but they’re all made to be bottom barrel with extremely low end hardware.

The overpriced nature of subscription services is not a good reason to justify paying more for relatively inexpensive hardware. The fact that you can buy new ereaders for $100 suggests that the $400 models are vastly overpriced. Companies are feature-creeping them so they can increase the price.

It has slowed exponentially because the models get exponentially more complicated the more you expect it to do.

Talking about conveyance of noodley things in an engineering context, I said “as I always tell my wife, you can’t push a rope”. Whoops, now everyone thinks my junk doesn’t work.

I do say that to her but it is in the context of her stealing the covers.

Yep, that won’t cause cancer.

A butter knife could cut them all too.

I can cut bread and tomatoes. A bread knife does a better job with bread.

Bread knife would like a word. Chef knife technically works but bread knives are usually longer and work much better at cutting without smooshing.

That’s interesting. I wonder how much religion plays into it. My marriage is monogamous but we are both open to each other about attractions outside the marriage. It is OK to be turned on by someone else or some other situation, and we can use that together. It also helps that we both don’t generally like other people; we have a close knit group of friends but most folks we meet outside that are obnoxious and gross.

I’ve basically learned that drinking sucks. A long time ago I would drink 1 beer a day, 2-3 on weekends. A few years later I cut it down to 1 a day. A few years after that I cut to 3 a week. This year I do 1 occasionally. When I have that 1 I sleep like crap, my stress score is higher, I gain weight and feel bloated, and it’s just not worth the buzz. I am considering a full quit, or cut back to 4 a year. I have quite the liquor cabinet, lots of good stuff, but basically stopped drinking it.

That’s a feature, not a bug. They show that stuff intentionally.

One good one. Supportive, listened to me, encouraged me to be me, put my needs first. I talk to them regularly and fly across the country to visit.

The other never listened, was totally phoning it in, is mow and has always been a terrible human being. I have all but cut them from my life.
