Damn. I feel you. I wrote mine a cease and desist and moved 700mi.
- Comment on I put on my robe and my wizard hat 4 days ago:
I can’t stand the Florentine, I think it looks silly.
Also, kilts. I mean, I get the comfort and utility; but, I’m not a fan. Each to their own, have had great conversations with kilt wearers. I like my jeans and leather pants. Occasionally wear my ass-less chaps.

I’d watch the fuck out of that.
- Comment on The grand prize 3 weeks ago:
Like, no. All sorts of carbide bits, including drill bits.
Lot of tungsten producers and recyclers in the US, kennemetal for instance. They would be happy to come get that cube, might have to crack it into smaller pieces.
- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 3 weeks ago:
I might die if I couldn’t cuss while working. I’d just fucking explode.
I cuss during job interviews, both as the interviewer and applicant.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 3 weeks ago:
Sorry for your loss. FWIW, pipe smoke isn’t inhaled and has much lower cancer rates than cigarette smoking. It’s lower risk, not no risk.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 3 weeks ago:
Thems fighten words. I don’t smoke any churchwardens. Among pipe smokers, you’re usually dealing with a particular type of socially tone deaf nerd when they smoke a churchwarden and start talking about pipe weed. You need to be at least 60 and fully grey to pull off a churchwarden.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 3 weeks ago:
If it’s true, it’s likely socioeconomic. Relatively expensive start up cost, bag or tin of pipe tobacco usually costs more than a pack of cigarettes. Tends to select for wealthier users with better healthcare.
It’s not inhaled so the cancer risk is lower than cigarettes. But, yeah, it’s not healthy.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 3 weeks ago:
Pipe tobacco is amazing. It can be very complex after aging.
The average pipe smoker lives longer than the average non smoker.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 3 weeks ago:
And pipe tobacco! I have a collection of tobacco blends I’m aging.
Use my vape (with rechargeable batteries) for addiction maintenance.
Tobacco is too pleasurable a luxury to give up. Harm reduction is the way to go for me.

Crawdads. Tasty with some hot sauce.
- Comment on Worms creator celebrates 30th anniversary with free update | Retro Gaming News 24/7 4 weeks ago:
Ooo. Worms is on the Switch! My son doesn’t play with it and I mostly use it as the Tetris machine.
I’m going to have to get this and do some serious shit talking. One of the best multiplayer couch games ever.
- Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 4 weeks ago:
Pomme de terre (IIRC) is a sad version of a underground apple.
Pineapples look like a pinecone but with a sweet fruit inside. Makes sense to me.
Then again horse apples, i.e., horse shit doesn’t taste great at all. Then again, again: horse apples, the Osage Orange fruit, are inedible. Osage Orange is neither an apple or orange tree.
English 'tis a silly language.

Ahh, someone else who views the risks correctly. Spent a lot of time in the swamps in Alabama. Wore snake gaiters for the giant cotton mouths. Soaked my clothes in permethrin. Still way more scared of the ticks than the snakes. Especially that Alphagal stuff.
- Comment on Preference 1 month ago:
My insurance is so shitty right now I’m not paying for a sleep study. I know why I sleep shitty. It’s cause I have a big old herina that fucking hurts and kinks my body up due to compensation. Wish I could take Aleve, but it gives me heartburn for days.
Also, can’t take most long acting meds since I don’t have a colon.
- Comment on Preference 1 month ago:
Yup, but the alternative is drinking myself to death or getting hooked on fentanyl/heroin.
I try to work hard enough every day that 2-4 ibuprofen put me to sleep for 6 hours.
- Comment on Preference 1 month ago:
It is a balancing act. Uclers vs acceptable level of sleep deprivation.
- Comment on Preference 1 month ago:
I like mine jello shot style. (2-4 every night, chronic pain management and healthcare sucks in America.)
- Comment on Rewinding an electromagnetic clutch. 1 month ago:
Coil was originally aluminum, so it had a higher resistance. Even with a ‘perfect’ wind, the resistance might still be low.
Scramble should be fine, it’s a DC application. So long as i get close enough: it should work.

- Comment on I don't know the difference between hay and straw 1 month ago:
Hay is generally cut from fallow fields in late summer/early fall. It contains sugars in the stalks as well as the seeds/grain of whatever grasses it is cut from. It is used to feed livestock year round and is the primary feed in winter. It is often supplemented by grain or feed.
Straw is basically an industrial byproduct and is the leftover stalk from grain harvesting. Usually produced from wheat after harvest. Used as bedding.
- Comment on Histories Mysteries 2 months ago:
I see two ureters running from the kidneys to the bladder, one ureter cut, bladder pushed to right side. Urethra runs from bladder on top of vagina. Some dissection knowledge present.
Vulva and pubic mound are present, if not terribly well drawn. There may be some influence of vulva as a mouth.
Ovaries are present as is uterus. Muscular nature of uterus is shown along with fetus.
Clitoris seems to be missing.
There are extra pipes all over, with some going to the wrong locations, and things seem to be linked to the liver. The liver being involved is likely due to whatever medical theories were prevalent at the time, humors maybe.
I would assume that the artist likely took a lot of inspiration from animal entrails.
Ignorance isn’t the same as stupid. Looks like a lot of thought was put into it. I would view this more as an early map than as an attempt at realism.
- Comment on Temporary rule: No shitposts on vegan pets and feeding them. 2 months ago:
Aww, man. I only had two of my comments removed for my lack of civility.
Personally, I was having a lot of fun fighting with the vegans.
Can somebody get me a sad trombone?
- Comment on Studios are cracking down on some of the internet’s most popular pirating sites 2 months ago:
I did it with a raspberry pi 4 and direct installs. If I had it to do over again, I would have a more powerful small server and use docker inages. There are a lot of docker guides out there but I don’t have experience with it yet.
I had to do a bunch of complicated stuff like mounting my remote storage and such. I’ve been playing with Linux a long time. If you’re not experienced with Linux, I’d do docker.
You start getting setup with Usenet, gimme a holler and I’ll send you a drunken slug invite. It’s the best indexer I’ve found, and I think I’ve let all my other indexers lapse.
Do a bunch of reading before you start, before you purchase anything.

Yo-ho-ho. The wife and kids love the pirate life as well. They just search what they want on Radarr or Sonarr and it pops up on Jellyfin in a few minutes. We were spending around $200/no on services with a lot less choice and lower quality.

My second vehicle was a '97 Ranger with the 5 speed and I4. Drove it for many years, sold it when I got divorced, thought I needed a nice car when I started dating again. Kicked myself repeatedly for getting rid of it. Lost that car in a flash flood and replaced it with this Ranger.

'98 Ranger XLT with the V6. My fourth vehicle, lifetime. Keep her running tight, throws no codes. Recently redid all the gaskets from the intake manifold and up.
Added hitch and trailer brake system recently. Made the kayak/cargo rack a few years ago.
It pulled a two horse trailer with three pet potbelly pigs, giant fluffy dog, two kayaks on top, a bed full of tools, jump seat area full of fragile stuff, son in the passenger seat. 700 miles, 14 hours, 3000-3500 rpm at 70mph. Overdrive had to be off the entire time. Never stuttered.
I love that little truck.

I know so many gay and racist jokes as a result of my upbringing. I’ve only been able to convert a few. There’s alao a few I can still tell to the right crowd.

I got lucky, my father died when I was 4. My step father was good in spite of his religion.
That shit fucking sucks. I’m sorry for you. Sucks donkey balls.
Those things make us hard. We’re hard and take care of the ones we love. We make sure they don’t ever have to live like that. You sound tough, we’ll keep on going and loving. All we can do.
