It’s been years since I moved from the electrical field, but anytime I’m in a new building I’m still looking at the ceiling to see where and how everything is installed.

In the modern day, sometimes it’s just nice to be able to say “I did that!”.

Same reason I look in the toilet.

At one point I laid out the plan to isolate my trigger foods, but I’ve never been in a stable enough place that I can be picky eating. Working roasting shifts, moving around etc, makes it a pain to take care of my diet. I’m closer now to stability, but I’m going to university 30-40 hours a week and working 35-45 hours on top of that. Eating is more of a calorie thing than a thing i plan to do.

I admire your abilities. I still have to learn how to cook without garlic or onion. I keep saying ‘this is the last one’ but now I’m feeling like one of those smokers who can’t quit.

As someone with buck teeth, I see no issue.

A couple years ago they introduced Buddy Christ to try and drum up some interest but it didn’t go anywhere.

Also, why would a religious institution with a modern problem with child abuse is a child as an icon, seems pretty unaware.

Fill some plastic bones from Walmart with some shot pellets.

My younger friend asked why some old cars had a piece of plexiglass on the front of the hood.

I had to explain that thirty years ago, in this area, you would drive through enough bugs in a day to cover your windscreen. The bug shield would help deflect them. It was a pretty grim lunch after that.

I haven’t seen any studies, I seem to remember there was some news reports many years ago.

I do know that I’ve stood in my living room, on the same wifi, and looked art the same item from Amazon on my phone and my brother in laws phone and seen different prices. But that’s just another anecdote.

In 2003 I learned to drive in a 1986 Hyundai Pony. The breaking point was when I got a stop sign on a slight incline and my dad had to get out while I floored it so the car could get moving again.

I’m just mad as hell at how many things seem to have topped out in the 1940’s. My car is basically the same. Five wheels and I chase an explosion around. Air travel is basically the same. Big aluminum tube that’s expensive size as hell. TV is basically the same. Tune in, sit on ass, watch.

You look at how life changed between 1900-1945, and how life changed since then, and we’ve really stagnated.

That’s not to say it’s all the same, phones are amazing, but they don’t change my life fundamentally, a day without my phone is very much the same as a day with my phone.

A graphic novel is a comic in longer form. Something like Persepolis that was released in one volume vs something like Watchmen that was released as normal comic books.

If you’re a sewer, you can probably convert some fabric and a cloths hanger into something similar.

Blog posts and peer reviewed articles are not the same thing.

I watched Linus Tech Tips, and NCIX Tech Tips before that. My wife and I were discussing how the level of information was tanking but the production quality was great, then GN released their video a few weeks after we stored watching LTT and I unsubsidized.

The wonderful result of Microsoft and Qualcomms exclusivity agreement.

There are other ones, this is just the obvious one. I’ve only spotted one other in the wild and I forget where it was.

Here’s one on Google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/55qqbQRYY7abKPVy9 I drove past this for years without thinking about it until one day I drove under it.

Now that I know what it is, it’s pretty obvious, but how often does the average person really inspect houses as they drive by?

Underground railways use houses for ventilation as well.

There’s a few things from dos that have a permanent place my soul. A:/KEEN.exe, idkfa, iddqd and gorillas.
