Damn, beat me to it.

I can also recommend this service.

So now can we call them “pole hangers”? “Pole grabbers”? “Pole holders”? If they’re listening to music and swaying in time, perhaps “pole dancers”?

I’m sure there are better terms but I’m not very creative.

Ooo, I’ll have to check this out. Thank you

I don’t know if “scuttlefish” was intentional but I love it.

It was weird that it needed my social security number, bank account, mother’s maiden name, and the name of my first pet to make the order but I guess it was worth it to stay healthy. Thanks bud!

O, and tell Derek I said hey.

Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.

You’re supposed to put a link to where we can buy your miracle vinegar/silver mix in your post. Have you learned nothing from these marketing geniuses?

I’m sitting in the backyard after work with my beard, my alcohol, and watching my chickens hunt grasshoppers in the yard… I nearly felt personally attacked.

If that had said “beard, alcohol, and chickens” then I would’ve been resigned to the stereotype.

Edit: on the beard, I’m just lazy. It’s just going to grow back anyway plus it’s a time saver. I’m rolling out of bed, into clothes, and into work at 05:30. Ain’t nobody got time for shaving. I gave up on shaving about 40 years ago.

: D

I think they just fixed it

Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.

You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?

I was at a tire shop the other day and somebody gave them the keys and said “it’s a blue Honda Accord”

The tech came back confused and eventually they realized it was a grayish (maybe a tinge of blue) Hyundai Accent.

At least they got the first letters correct, I guess.

“Demonrats” is my personal favorite.

… Not sure if it was originally a typo for “Demoncrats” or no.

The one I remember from school was phrased slightly differently (but same concept) :

Poor little Jimmy is lying on the floor, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4

When it gets bad enough that I have to ; )

Though we have been on a kick lately of washing dishes immediately after supper and not letting them pile up.

Another ballot initiative submission had the same problem but was allowed to proceed anyway.

Ah, delete the windows partition. That should keep me safe.

There was a big headline recently about a tech company accidentally hiring a North Korean “hacker” (I’m just going off the headline) so that might be fresh in memory with regards to your laptop farm reference.

It has to be human liver though. The alcohol will know if you try to trick it with other types.

I ALWAYS forget the name of these little guys even though I see them pretty frequently. Thank you for the reminder… I’ll try to commit it to memory this time (no promises)

You just have me a flashback to a game named Nocturne from the late 90s. I didn’t remember anything about it, but I recall enjoying it.

I haven’t thought of that in at least 20 years.
