Florida water is weird here in the NW. Tap water is fairly “hot” in the summer since the lines are close to the surface. But YMMV. Our bathroom water is distinctly different than the kitchen water, in a tiny house, 8-years old. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think I might as well, and I’ve taught corporate information security classes.

I run Windows but my VPN server is Debian.

That’s somebody’s house, somebody with teeth and claws. Do not stick anything in there.

PRO TIP: You can get a clue if an animal hole is inhabited by looking at the ground in front of the entrance. Buncha leaves and crap? Empty. Fresh dirt in a spray? Somebody in there.

1991, gf and I are visiting Broken Bow Reservoir in the very SE corner of Oklahoma. (Stunning place BTW! Seriously.)

Me: “What in the world are all those tiny blue tents?”

GF: “Roosters for cockfighting.”

Me: “They still do that?!”

Later that night, outside our cabin.

Me: “What is that noise?!”

GF: “Roosters.”

Same trip, we hit a convenience store to inquire about an ATM. I’m watching the girls behind the counter point and laugh at her. I could SEE her turning red before she storms out the door.

“What the fuck was that about?”

“I explained that I use this card to withdraw money from a bank machine and they laughed at me!”

Poor gf. Imagine being genius-level IQ and growing up in Oklahoma.

Another funny thing about that trip; Two broke college kids only needed to scrouge $100 for gas all the way across state, food, 2 nights in a private cabin and a day’s boat rental. $238 in 2025. Imagine that.

Anyway, felt like telling a story.

During the pandemic, percussion caps for black powder guns were unavailable and I got those types of caps to work marginally well.

That’s what has me grinning! I’m not replacing a Jesus nut with anything that didn’t come straight from the manufacturer.

Gotta use a positive tone and smile:

“You’re no better than you ought to be!”

My culture is not your 80s costume.

Can’t say which is funnier, the joke or the people taking it seriously.

Been through two medical fears already, catheter up my dick (3 times) and a broken femur. Kidney stones are still on my bucket list!

Boss brought his to work one day for show and tell.

“That came out your urethra?!”

There’s a lot more going on here than hints. It’s a nicely layered comic, quite clever.

For real?! 😆

There’s probably some social commentary to be made about games being simpler, brighter, single-player and less hand-holdy, but “generation war!” this isn’t.

The whole game is darker, less cheerful, grimmer. The player is literally and figuratively more filled out and military. Pointing out the obvious because OP be like.

This was me in the 80s

“Oh very nice ‘Asian’ character! Bet you killed a ‘yellow’ dragon as well, while running from a red ‘commie’ dragon!”

Love to hear your take on the male cardinal turning into a raven. Bet you can jam a racial take into that as well.

Right?! I’d rather have a bunch of autistic nerds patrolling their favorite subjects for stupid changes. Turns out that works pretty damned well.

If you pulled the tab off and bent the center back, you’d be left with a tiny Millennium Falcon.

Bees fly around carrying the “sperm” of one plant to another.

Anybody who thinks Wikipedia is bad should have grown up on encyclopedias. Looking back at my childhood set, they are hilariously riddled with errors.

Bruh, I’m digging in my wire drawer or going to the thrift. I cannot imagine how people pay money for new cables of almost any sort.
