I’m not a programmer but I have at least one double booking every day. Some weeks look like a brick wall sideways (they seem to always overlap by a half hour for some reason).

If y’all have worked with silicone oil, yea it works kinda like this (depending on viscosity).

It creeps up out of containers, it creeps up walls. It gets everywhere.

the Econoline is from the 70s too (80s Econoline for reference, the hood is the giveaway)

Yes Also Death Dealer… both by Frank Frazetta

I had the switched on Bach cassette when I was a kid. I thought it was cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn0HAWX1TSA&list=PLLICd7vQi7iGUyErozBAwgcr4F49kxiXY

I wonder why

Im in CA and we have a skeleton house as well. I see it every day on my commute (its on one of the three roads you have to travel to get into the town). Its fun to se how creative they get with the costumes. Still dressed up for pride month last I drove by.

that would make someone a real bastard…

get to the choppa!

I have to admit, even while finding the crooked corners of the internet with rotten and CJ, I did hold onto the belief that access to information was going to lift the masses up out of ignorance. I knew about flamewars since the BBS days. I knew about trolls since rm -rf advice was given. I, in my naivete, seriously underestimated the effects of these phenomenon on society writ large.

its really not. they would have also had to sunk in the door to make the molding the same thickness. its more work, but not that hard with a hollow door. Probably less work than what they would have had to do to the top of the door that actually functions

Ive done it as a cure to a cold. its not great. I will eat toom by the bucketful though

Naturally! Then add another clove for good luck. Plus those two cloves look small, better add another.

Its copper so… not that much.

I was looking for these cables as scrap. As a kid we would make bracelets out of them. I was hoping to find them for my kid but have a hard time finding them.

I shouldn’t bother engaging with you either. You throw around the word abuse, when talking about a joke regarding striped paint, I honestly dont know where to start with that kind of mentality. Here I go anyway. Constant insults can be abusive, yes. Belittling a child is abusive, absolutely. Striped paint or left handed screw drivers are not that. I am actually raising kids, I am there for them when they need it. When they are in a stable place, I push them to grow. Sometimes that means going a bit farther on our hikes, sometimes it means sounding out the word themselves, or working out the math problem for themself, and sometimes it means pushing them to handle their emotions better. Sometimes it means learning to take a joke.

Am I traumatizing my children telling them about Santa?

Personally I’m good with my children being suspicious of me. Don’t trust me blindly just because I’m an authority, trust me because you know me and my motivations.

These types of light hazing are actually trying to lower the stakes. The greybeards get to tell the stories of when they were young and dumb going on snipe hunts. we all make mistakes, developing the ability to laugh at YOURSELF is important. Its an inoculation against embarrassment. If someone is so prideful that they cant stand to ever be wrong, when the make a mistake that matters, they will try to hide it and that is when things go from bad to worse.
