I kind of want to find one of these people and go to shake their hand to say hi.

Will they shake my hand?

What if while shaking I speak like one of those narrators in drug commercials and say “by shaking my hand you agree to give me all of your income past and present”

Last 2 guys who tried.

Remember there was that dude with an AK hiding in golf course bushes. He didn’t shoot, but you can also count that as missing his shot, as he was well within the range of the rifle.

People say this, but I still don’t believe it.

And no, that’s not just because I’m an American and love refrigeration. I’ve stayed in Mexico for extended periods and they do the same shit where eggs are left out at the stores.

And every time I’m down there, I play Russian roulette with fucking eggs. Making hotcakes? Crack every egg into a seperate bowl one at a time before adding to the batter, because 1 in 10 are fucking rancid. Making breakfast? Cook eggs one at a time because, again, it’s rancid egg roulette and I’d rather not throw out 2 perfectly good eggs because one is totally fucked.

And yes I know the trick of checking if they float in water, but that means I also have to waste water in a desert. I’d rather just use a separate bowl.

Just because you don’t have to refrigerate something right away doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. My eggs in America last for weeks in the fridge, and I never have to worry about ruining an entire cake or dish because I cracked a bomb of rancid shit into it.

If you don’t have good looks, that’s one thing, you can’t really change that.

But then if you don’t look good and you can’t try to hold a conversation, that’s your problem.

Learn to speak, it’s not hard. go talk to people and gain some confidence. All this talk about poor socialization or being unattractive and creepy just demoralizes people that I’m sure could actually make friends and meet spouses if they didn’t preemptively pull themselves out of the situation before they gave themselves the chance

Met my wife online during the pandemic.

Dated a fair few women before her, meeting online and in real life.

I’m not super attractive, and pretty awkward, but I always make the effort to be polite and actually listen instead of waiting to talk, you’d be amazed how far that actually gets you.

That’s kind of like saying that ford can’t make a model t anymore.

I’m sure they could, there’s just no reason to.

I’m also sure the contractors that built the Saturn V, those that are still in business, could build equivalent parts today if the government asked.

The Saturn five was an absurdly large rocket designed specifically to get 3 people from earth to the moon. It was insanely expensive per launch, and the only reason it ever flew was because the government was writing nasa blank checks in order to beat the soviets.

Today the government wants a reasonable dollar figure for a launch, and the days of spending a billion dollars per launch are long past.

I finish my own cabinets, so maybe I’m just out of touch. But materials alone is only like a hundred bucks or so, and a company already owns the compressor and paint sprayer. I don’t think I’d pay more than 1k, it better be fucking Van Gogh painting my cabinets for anything over that.

2-3K for paint?

You’re getting reamed by your painter if he’s charging you 2-3k for a small room like that.

Oh they definitely did.

Before the pandemic, I’d see one or 2 highly questionable moves in a drive.

Now it’s like a dozen.

I see people making lefts on red, cutting off semi trucks, weaving in and out of traffic, driving with absolutely no lights at night, and my god the speeding.

A few years ago it was normal to see people doing like 5 miles an hour over the limit, now it feels like half the people want to do 10 or 15, even on surface streets.

I wonder if it’s that most people drove less during the pandemic, the fact that cops around here were told to only pull people over if they were a direct threat to the public, or if the social isolation just made some people way more self centered. But driving has definitely gotten worse since the pandemic.

Don’t forget your sacred duty boys, dicks out for Harambe.

It’s the only way to fix this fucked timeline

ChatGPT had a fever dream again

Right now nothing is leaking.

The leaks are only present when the fuel system is open or ready to fire

It’s having problems with its RCS system

The thrusters that turn the craft around and allow precise movement aren’t working properly, they barely got the thing to dock with the ISS.

Despite what nasa says publicly, I’m sure there’s a lot of internal debate about if it’s even safe to undock the thing from the station. If it loses orientation control while still close to the ISS, it could easily damage the station and kill people. That’s if some of the damaged thrusters aren’t the ones that allow the craft to go backwards, kind of important if you want to leave the station.

The US navy has almost as many aircraft as all of Russia.

The US Army has more aircraft than all of Russia.

The US Airforce has more aircraft than the US navy and army.

That’s just planes and helicopters.

If you think any of the countries you talked about are a serious threat to the US outside of nuclear war, then you’re sorely mistaken about how truly insane US defense spending is.

God, I hope it doesn’t spread, because then people will keep saying global pandemic.

Pandemic already means global.

It’s like saying Mariachi Band, or ATM Machine.

Can’t say I’ve ever had the cream

Wow, you’re pleasant.

See, where I’m from, a carbomb is a cocktail made from beer and hard liquor. We’ve got Chicago carbombs/handshakes which is Malort and Old Style. I’ve even had a Mexican carbomb with tequila and Modelo.

Coffee liqueur and beer isn’t really a thing where I’m from, in the heart of corn country. So you’re the one drinking milk shakes at the bar as far as I’m concerned.

Maybe instead of being a dick to people because of where they happen to live, you could try to learn about cultural and regional differences.

I think this is a regional thing, as you just made me doubt myself.

I’ve ordered car bombs here in the Midwest and it’s always been whiskey and a stout. I don’t know if I’d call anything with just coffee liqueur in it a “car bomb” that’s not a very strong drink.

A quick Wikipedia check says it can be either Irish cream or whiskey, and that the names are somewhat interchangeable.

Super Sweet

Tell me you don’t know what an Irish car bomb is without telling me you don’t know what an Irish car bomb is.

Hey, I’ve seen this one
