The Battlemage-series cards, specifically the B580, have been excellent cards for the price, and they’ve really stepped up their driver game.

In high school, I got in a car wreck and had to drive without a front bumper for about a year. When the bumper got torn away, it also took the light housings for my blinkers and running lights.

My dad made new housings with zip ties and soda cans cut in half that attached to the back of lenses we bought cheap at the local auto parts store. He drilled slightly undersized holes in the bottom of the cans that held the bulbs in place when they were pushed through, and he’d polished the inside of the cans to act as reflectors.

It worked great! When we eventually got the bumper replaced, the body guy shop was amazed and said he didn’t see any reason why we should spend the money to buy factory housings, and when we sold that car it still had store-brand diet sprite cans as light housings that surely confused the hell out of someone down the line.

I still mess up my sister’s spouse. They’re NB, but kept their name, hobbies, etc. To me, they’re the exact same awesome person they’ve always been, so I still screw up and call them by male pronouns.

I 100% support them, but I screw up and it feels bad.

So… batteries on a radiator that dumps heat into a space.

Totally different than a space heater.

In Texas, it’s literally illegal for governments to buy products or award contracts to anyone who denounces the actions of Israel.

Like: when I was analyzing bids for janitorial services for City Hall, I was legally required to vett the bidders’ stances on Israel.

I work in the development department for a tiny city that’s an enclave for the super-rich. There’s literally no house in city who’s residents aren’t multi-millionaires, and we have multiple very high-profile billionaires. We have city codes for servant’s quarters, and all of us have been confronted by private security forces when making our rounds around town.

Our codes are strict, and our residents entitled, which is an unholy combination.

I track everything, always. It’s beautiful when a billionaire’s lawyer shows up at Council demanding that we’re the problem, and I can pull up logs showing that the contractor they hired to build the 20-million dollar house hasn’t logged into the permitting portal since the initial application was made 8 months earlier, along with the 30 emails we’ve sent the contractor, engineers, architect, homeowner, and the lawyer that’s currently yelling at Council.

They’re in the first group.

Cuddling and massages are pretty much where it ends with me. I was in a relationship for a while, but it didn’t work out timing-wiss with careers and locations. We still keep in touch and hang out a few times a year though.

Nice thing about an Ace breakup is there’s less sexual baggage attached to becoming friends again.

I’m saying that people who have grown up in the world of smartphones and apps are used to files just going into the ether and the app knowing where it is, and they never learned how to navigate a file system.

There’s a spectrum of Ace. I got one am a heteroromantic ace, and I’m a dude. So I am attracted to women romantically, but don’t want to sleep with them.

It’s a very frustrating combination that makes dating difficult.

This is a real problem with young people coming into the office. They don’t know how to navigate a file system. They’ve never had to do it.

Thank you for that. I agree that the joke works better without the sign, but the author should be credited.

As a kid I would have been fine falling down staris.

Now, overweight and in my 40s I get it. I slipped on porch steps last year and went down 3 steps and I had to go to the ER and was basically bedridden for a week.

God they’re bad.

But I loved the super-military dino they had trained that would attack someone if you pointed a rifles laser at them.

Like - you’re already pointing a gun at them.

I’m in Texas, and our electric provider added a $200/month fee for all accounts for the next 2 decades to pay for the 2021 winter storm. They bought electricity from other providers during the storm for like 1000x the standard rate and passed the cost towards future customers.

And the beauty of that is that those fees also impact solar users who aren’t even using power, since a certificate of occupancy requires that a house be connected to the grid.

That sounds like a bonus power.

Get them to do my bidding and they don’t even know about it.

If the Courts can’t enforce rulings against him l, then there isn’t even a theoretical check on his executive power. So even if he were impeached he could refuse to leave office, with no courts able to compelling the justice department to drag his ass out of the white house.

I have to lean sideways anyway because my shoulders are too broad and the side of the plane is round.

There’s so much about flying that sucks as a big person.

My knees are folded up to my chest. I’m leaning to the right to stay off the fuselage. I can’t be in an aisle seat because I’m in the way of the crew, and I have to lean forward the whole time because someone is in the seat next to me. And that person hates me.

My dread of the flying experience is why I never go on vacations.

Honestly, that may actually be more comfortable for me than trying to fold my legs into the tiny rows they have now.

Maybe if a certain political party hadn’t spent decades convincing its voters to disarm themselves, we wouldn’t have 90% of guns owned by fascists.

Guns are evil until you need them.
