Wanna go halfsies?
Which half do you want?Wanna go halfsies?
Westy just wanted its hide, probably.
Only if it comes with lotion.
Nah, just thought I'd try to hook a brother up. Probably have at least a half one kicking around the basement.
Kicking around is an impressive form of locomotion when you don't have two complete legs.
What is the point of putting up a political sign in your yard? Its not going to change any minds, and per averages, 50% of the people that drive by will judge you negatively for it.
Seen in a nearby neighborhood yesterday:
A dumbass near us has a bunch of homemade mango signs and mango draining the swap etc. All of the surrounding homes have Biden, Harris ones.
Got together with friends last evening to watch The Big Lebowski...
Text this morning that one of their kids has a 103* fever...
Hello quarantine, my old friend.
FTMFL.

Things transition from Biden to Trump signs here as you get out to the 'burbs. And of course that also transitions into giant signs and Trump spray painted on discarded washing machines placed in front yards.
It is almost like you should stay home, who knew?
COVID is kind of like an IQ test.
Well, it was an outdoor showing, with SD. And the kid wasn't there, but his parents were.
So low risk, but still worth being extra-cautious until we get more info.
Probably not too big a deal.
I only recently found out that it's not always a requirement to add an apostrophe to 'its'.
I'd just add an apostrophe thinking it made it possessive, instead it made me look like a knuckle dragging Luddite. I'm the type of person that will giggle if I hear someone say "expecially" or "pacific" instead of "specific". Glass houses and all that......

Had a wonderful evening showing my millennial niece some classic cinema:
The best part was her realizing how shitty the Wayans Bros serial crap was after watching Airplane.
Tomorrow we'll be showing her Top Secret, and then The Naked Gun.

Cameron Peak fire in CO has now burned ~200,000 acres. That's the same size as all five boroughs of NYC.
For some adtl context - That's larger than the San Francisco peninsula which is only 35k; Seattle is only 54k; Atlanta is 88k; Raleigh is 94k; Chicago which is 145k; and Denver is 155k.
And when looking on larger geographical scales, the state of Rhode Island is 1mm acres. 20% of the size of RI has burned in this fire... The snow can't come soon enough.
Do astronauts get pat overtime?
If I ever find myself in possession of another specialized s-works, I'm going to change the W to P
I have a love/hate relationship with tubeless. Love it on the trails, hate it on the bike shack. My previous batch of homemade sealant dried up on the tires, so I decided to go for a full overhaul, given it's been pouring rain like there's no tomorrow since a week ago. First the kapton tape refused to reliability stick to the rim bed, then I couldn't get the valve stem to seal, then the friggin rear tire started weeping like a widow on a funeral...
You shopping cut-rate kidneys on Craigslist?
Just for my edification. If the situation presents itself, you have only minutes to harvest.
That is why you maintain a live-stock of sorts. Let me know if you need anything, I have some artisanal,
Introverts working from home during quarantine:
"This is amazing. I hope I don't ever have to go back to the office. Just think of all the time and money I'm saving not commuting, not to mention how much more productive I am without all of the distractions!"
Extroverts working from home during quarantine:
"I thrive on people and interactions because I can't stand being alone with myself. I am an energy succubus. Everyone should go back to the office full time because I work better that way and they should too."

Me during quarantine: "I've been WFH for 12 years, so nothing has really changed, other than my 8 years old kid screaming into my WebEx meetings every now and then".
YMMV
I liked it better early on when ~90% of the office was WFH, we didn't have to get scanned/questioned every morning coming in, and masks weren't enforced on site. Felt like working in a giant, abandoned lab.
Still had to wear pants though, so it wasn't quite paradise.

How is it that you buy one thing at the grocery store and the receipt is longer than the Dead Sea scrolls?
