He leered at the women so openly they all left the car, I bet.

The only thing costco really has going for it is the odd item that is truly on sale, dependable low prices on some stuff, and quality control. Quality control is the big one. I can’t remember most of the tests now, but when olive oil was being looked at, costco was one of the two brands out of something like 32 that was actually what it said on the label. On a couple of other things as well that I remember, like honey, they had the same finding.

Only at christmastime.

‘Twas the night before Christmas An’ all t’ru de house…’

Slightly (now) past middle aged white women, from what I hear my friends and coworkers yammer on about when the conversation turns to movies.

Huh. I always thought it was just a colloquialism of my area, not an actual word. Neat.

I always thought expats had to live in little expat communities, keeping themselves aloof from the rest of the population. It’s a level of snobbery beyond even still caring where you’re originally from. That was my understanding from all the little compounds I saw in the global south.

I’m trying to think here… I think dog #1 was found next to the dumpster of an apartment complex. Dog #2 was from a shelter and had been picked up next to the dumpster of an apartment complex. Dog #3 was from a stray that whelped underneath someone’s trailer home and everyone who knew the homeowner pitched in to help adopt out the pups. All great dogs, aside from #1 who was pretty territorial.

Meanwhile, my aunt bought a breeder dog (a white lab), and that was also an amazing dog with a lot of health issues. I think she paid bookus for it, so I’m on top of that particular fight.

Damn. I was homeschooled for a year while sick, and my parent nuts trying to find the absolute best material so I didn’t fall behind. It’s repulsive that any parent would purposefully give shoddy education. That’s the stuff you always think is relegated to weird religious cults somewhere, which, I suppose, should be a wake up call about what we’re currently dealing with.

The UTVs? Yeah, those things are just insane dune buggies with better PR. Watching one run from the cops was an experience out in the boonies, let me tell you.

You have interesting laws if that’s the case. My place specifically mentions motor vehicles, so even bicycles, which can be considered ‘traffic,’ won’t get you a case.

nd it has some the best circulation of any of our books

God, but that’s just sad and, well, infuriating.

Meanwhile, my parent gleefully explained that they were writing AN EMAIL to the PRESIDENT HIMSELF using my disease to assuage their feelings as they demanded he not let stem cell research happen. That’s a level of mental fuckery I could be happy about disappearing.

Ah, right. Totally different.

Look, don’t judge me, but manjaro has been the only distro to just work. I haven’t been fucked by nvidia drivers that I know of, I haven’t had any glaring issues… I’m not saying I disagree with the criticisms, but as a ‘just use the fucking computer’ distro, it’s great.

I’ve been using Linux since you created a boot floppy by using dd on the kernel

Wait, is that not how you do it anymore? I swear, I just went through trialing a few more distros, and I dded like crazy.

Lol, I think I would actually regret the carrots more, just because a single baby carrot actually has substance to it, while the cheeto is mostly air. Hard to eat a bag of carrots and not be full.

I, too, love carrots, but man, you can’t tell me that a cheeto isn’t more tasty.

Well how else are men supposed to get pregnant? Gotta have an egg to get fertilized.

I’ve been given gifts of underwear with pockets. They might hold one of the old style cell phones, at the peak of ‘small is best.’

Lol, you could only wish. The money gets spent on two-five consultants who come up with a powerpoint that could have been made by preteens given an assignment of ‘name ways to deescalate a conflict.’ I remember when there was a training about cops and dogs, because someone ‘important’ finally had their dog shot by a cop. The training was almost literally what you would come up with if you did a quick search on dog behaviors and copy/pasted the worst seo slop article into a powerpoint format.
