I feel like it’s just the opposite.

Try designing something without instructions or a template. You’ll run into a thousand little issues you didn’t realize needed to be considered.

That’s true of software, sure. But it’s also true if you want to make a wooden dresser without plans or build an rc airplane from scratch.

In my experience, things are rarely as simple as they first seem.

My favorite Pink Floyd song.

He only bangs white dudes… he promises.

Shout out to right wing nuts for rushing to Telegram early on - keeping me from ever using it.

Why ain’t ya jigglin’?

Yeah I like the … despite knowing it’s really for something like a trailing list. Its use seems regional even within the US. Our business partners in Chicago didn’t like it when we included the dots in emails.

Sometimes there are buildings full of people saying the same thing over and over - “FIRE! FIRE!!!”

It usually happens when the building is burning, but that doesn’t mean those people couldn’t have formed a diverse set of opinions on what to discuss in that moment.

What an echo chamber those places are, right?

I can’t speak for all men because I’ve only really known a few dozen of them well enough to judge. But I don’t remember me or any of my friends having or needing one of those moments.

The forgiveness thing is legit though. Our kids remember ALL the times we fucked up. Frustrated remarks that would roll off your spouses back are not forgotten by kids - because it hurts them more.

Commas are somewhat discouraged… or at least discretion with commas is encouraged. We have a rule about commas. “If in doubt, don’t.”

We should only use commas for certain prescribed circumstances or if the comma is necessary for clarity.

That said I will defend the Oxford comma to my last breath.

Republicans (as a group) are fascists.

Democrats (as a group) are not communists.

Democrats are a varied group. If Republicans weren’t so bat shit crazy, it would be nearly impossible to get all the Democrats to support the same person or set of policy preferences.

I think built into the question is - how can there still be so many Republicans? The 30% - 40% of voters who support him know what he’s about. That’s a fuck ton of spiteful adults in America. Seems like Canada, UK, and others in Europe aren’t so different either. Fuck.

Yeah I like Richmond. Good weather; good food; good beer; outdoor activities; proximity to beaches, mountains, and vineyards… Like you said, political ideology is moving in the right direction.

The image doesn’t open for me. But I guess the joke still works in a way.

You should say “This is how something looks” or “This is what something looks like”, but don’t put the “how” and the “like” in the same statement.

That is not how it should look like.

Didn’t live up to expectations.

Probably not the video’s fault though. The meme is just too epic. The video never had a chance of beating that hype.

Drink IPA without letting any air into your mouth and keep your tongue somewhat pressed against the roof of your mouth. It seems to block off the taste buds on top of the tongue and lets the beer wash around the sides of the tongue instead. This reduces the in-your-face bitterness and allows the secondary flavors to be noticed. At least that’s how I started appreciating IPAs.

Super Noah’s Ark is on my rg35xx. It’s amazing.

My cousin had a couple Bible themed NES games. Spiritual Warfare seemed decent.

There used to be a store called Heaven & Earth that sold all kinds of Christian stuff for Sunday school teachers or whatever plus books, cheap Bible toys, etc. She bought it there.

There’s a term for that. It’s called “The Soap Opera Effect”. You can look up settings for each brand of TV to minimize it.

If you can’t get pain meds I’d try Kratom.

Start with a low dose and work your way up. If you take too much you will puke which would be awful in your current condition.

Take the right dose and it will significantly relieve the pain. I slowly took increased doses until they started to make me feel a little woozy or get cold sweats. Then I knew my personal dose is a little less than that.

I can’t stress enough though - take less at first and try a little more each time.

Either eat food with it every time or take on an empty stomach every time, but don’t go back and forth unless you know your proper personal dose with and without food. It matters a lot with Kratom.

All that said, do it right and it will bring more relief than anything else I’ve been able to legally acquire. Absolutely do not allow yourself to take it every day once the pain is manageable. Plenty of people do… But don’t do that.

Good luck. No matter what - this is only temporary. You will get through it.

I think so. Keeps the insulation from dry rotting.
