I'm feeling a bit recharged today.

A finger in the plug socket can do that.

That is a shocking picture

That is a shocking picture

It's electrifrying.

It's funny, because in the Original Series, I thought the Klingons were supposed to be analogous to the Russians, whereas the Romulans were analogous to the Chinese.

Well….. Putin was here in Beijing last week…. Is it any surprise the Klingons are here too….

Putin is no Klingon.

If things keep up at this rate soon I'll have a cult of green haired, downtrodden, early 20s-somethings following me around. I'm still not sure what they see in me, but there's something.

The brakes went out on my car yesterday on my way home from work. Kind of a rattling experience. I don't even want to drive it to the brake shop, as I don't think it'll be safe. I was lucky enough to avoid an accident yesterday, but I don't feel like pushing it. So, now I'm waiting for a tow truck.

I remember when I first encountered the phrase "tow away zone" as a kid, I thought that it meant if someone parked there, they would take their toe away. I thought that seemed a pretty severe penalty.

Glad you're ok. Never had that happen and don't want it too but i always ensure the handbrake will stop the car reasonably quickly if in need

Thanks. Yeah, I was able to get it stopped. I used to have an old Plymouth Duster where I had some air in the brake lines and ended up having to pump a few times to get it to stop. But this has power brakes, so you have to practically stand on the brakes to get them to stop.

So what's wrong with glue on pizza anyway? If our AI overlord said to do it, it must be right

Google promised better search — now it’s telling us to put glue on pizza

Imagine this: you’ve carved out an evening to unwind and decide to make a homemade pizza. You assemble your pie, throw it in the oven, and are excited to start eating. But once you get ready to take a bite of your oily creation, you run into a problem — the cheese falls right off. Frustrated, you turn to Google for a solution.

“Add some glue,” Google answers. “Mix about 1/8 cup of Elmer’s glue in with the sauce. Non-toxic glue will work.”

I've unlocked another Juggalette people stabber ability in the Great Milenko skill tree, a Sith like "fast track" ability that in just seven months has made me "very experienced."
Now if only management and trainers would realize this. I don't even remember the last time I missed unless someone jerked or my wrist locked up.

I once sailed through a busy intersection at about 50 miles per hour when my brakes failed. Wife, children and pets were all aboard...fortunately, missed many cars by inches, finally rolled to a stop about a quarter mile further down the road...yes, it was on an incline. Then I had to go on to calmly knock on doors until someone would let me use their phone...

I need a decent printer and 3d printer.

Thanks, although I think the towing charges would be more than the repair job. The unkindest cut of all was that, although the car was starting perfectly before, once I got it towed to the repair shop, it wouldn't start. So, there's even something more wrong with it.

Reaching out to some older friends on my new FB account, and I don't know what happened but everybody I went to high school with has gotten kind of old. They look middle aged, even.
Sucks for them, lmao.

Iew, yeah, something that in all likeliness isn't really that hard or too expensive to fix, but is when a mechanic does it. Hopefully it's the battery (anymore they cost just as much if not more than an alternator).
Sometimes I wish I was rich or mechanics weren't so expensive so I could quit doing it myself.

I had that happen once. It was in a crowded area, and instinct kicked in, and I pulled onto a median rather than the back of the car in front of me(I'm sure he was grateful).
