Southwest Washington, north of Vancouver and south of Tacoma. You might as well be in Alabama in these parts. This is where a lot of the Proud Boys come from.

Currently with friends and their kids for Halloween and one parent in the group won’t allow their kids to dress up for religious reasons. Some of the other kids in our group kept asking the older one what she’s dressed up as (in her normal clothes) and she finally just yelled out “our savior!” (obviously reacting from a tough spot as the kids who stand out from the rest based on their parents’ decisions). Apart from that it could be for financial reasons.

In any case I don’t see why people get so stingey with Halloween candy if a kid isn’t dressed up enough. You’re giving it out anyway. Razzing seems fine though and this isn’t intended to criticize you but more just tangential soap boxing.

Maybe Doug Ford the famous meth smoking politician from Canada or his brother Rob (or vice versa?)?

If you do that, how will you stay up to date on my 172-part saga on various animal musk scents that I’ve recently smelled in my neighborhood?

This sounds like one of those dishes you learn about in prison.

You’re saying it’s from New York City?

NEW YORK CITY?!?!

TPB is fine if you’re cautious and just download video/audio. I’m in a bunch of private trackers but still use it occasionally since it can have old and obscure stuff occasionally since the site is so old.

It should also be obvious in your torrent client as it will be listed there with the full file name.

Not entirely a ‘car accident’ but I was driving down the interstate and narrowly dodged a shovel head (the handle had broken off) sitting in the far left passing lane in a construction zone. The car behind me hit it and I watched in my rear view mirror as it flew up in the air and traveled all the way over to the right side travel lane and fucking demolished the windshield of a car. I was expecting the car to jerk and swerve from the driver freaking out from this object falling out of the sky right into their windshield, but they just very calmly merged to the shoulder and stopped.

The other one was me barely missing an empty pallet sitting in the middle of my lane when it was dark out and seeing the headlights of the car tailgating behind me do a complete 360 as they tried to dodge it. If they’d left a little more room between us they probably could have followed my lead and drove around in, but their short following distance left no time for them to react.

You’re the person who corrects people to say “datum” and “the data are …” aren’t you?

Potato potato

What if it executes and install Windows 11 on your machine!?

It also screws with post sorting on the front page since Lemmy still doesn’t have a high enough rate of new posts/comments.

I choose death!

Jesus, I thought this was the other post, “Whats your favorite movie of all time?” and I was judging the shit out of you for this list.

I think those substitutions are picked by the person filling your order. We got a hilarious substitution from Walmart once. My wife ordered a bottle of thyme or oregano or something similar. They were out of stock so the worker went to the garden center and substituted it with a fucking potted plant of thyme or oregano. We both laughed our asses off at their choice but it wasn’t what we needed.

I also solved mine but by never changing the oil.

FYI if you get a FHA loan, you can’t remove the PMI at all without refinancing. This was implemented after the crash in '07/'08. You can still get a conventional loan without doing the full 20%. I put around 10% down and just dropped PMI after about 4 years, though I likely could have removed it earlier if I’d paid for a new appraisal due to the increased property value.

Corn or flour (and I hope to god she’s heating them up first)? Growing up as a Caucasian child, my parents never cooked the tortillas on taco night and I didn’t know you were supposed to until meeting my Hispanic wife. Eating a cold tortilla now is like blasphemy.

Mythbusters did a test of poop particles on toothbrushes stored in areas all around their workshop and IIRC, the one in the bathroom actually had one of the lowest amounts of poop particles on it.
