You should get the cheese and onion flavored ones. Everyone likes cheese and onion, don't they?

What? That's a flavor? I mean, I like (most) cheese, and I like onion, but I've never run across anything that's just those two combined.

Don't switch pronouns in the middle of a paragraph. I had to read that like 3 times to figure out what was going on. I don't care which one you pick, just pick one.

Really? Changing pronouns at the point in the story when the person in question requested the change is confusing for you? Maybe you should look in the other direction for your source of confusion.

I've looked into buying those plastic balls for a child's birthday party before and they are loving expensive.

Here's an Amazon link to 1000 of them. 1000 will probably cover your floor, maybe at a height of five or six balls maximum. To get that level of coverage for a room (which is triple the amount I was looking at, easily) you would need probably close to around 7 or 8 thousand balls, minimum, if the size of the room seems larger just because of the way the photo was framed.

What I'm saying is, that Dad is either loaded, or the coolest loving dad ever. :kimchi:

And then, what do you do with all those plastic balls once the party's done? Craigslist? Build a pen in your back yard/basement?

Even a super healthy, non-purebred hardy as gently caress dog will die if you give it a small bar of dark chocolate or some cooked onion.

BUT NONE OF THAT IS A FUNNY PICTURE.



This is the important part. Milk chocolate is usually not much of a problem (size-dependent, of course). We have a 7-year-old lab who ate a large Toblerone bar when she was young, and is just fine.

Is that still around, and does the creator still put in that creepy picture of himself begging for money?



Is it a rule that people who create free/"free" things and then later ask for money have to be creepy looking? The drat wikipedia guy looks like a pedo right out of SVU.

I dunno, that's not my screenshot, and I've used IRC like twice.

Yes, that must be it. TV people stole your joke. Like the time when I was a kid and invented rubber band shoelaces and then, a few years later, you could buy elasticised laces in the stores and people from some factory in China had totally stolen my idea. Just like that.




Yes, because he totally said the people stole it. He definitely didn't just say that it was weird to hear a joke that he'd come up with by himself repeated later.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's just slightly unfinished. I mean he should have finished it probably, but doors usually come as a whole model, and all he has to do is install another few pieces around the seams, and then repaint the wall.

His craftsmanship is fine, it looks to be installed straight as evidenced by the uniform gap size. And if he can get that right I'm sure he's able to complete the cutting and installing of the wood that will surround it.

Edit - it maybe been squeaky for reasons that weren't as simple as "hinges need to be oiled" and rather than repair it in a way that would only temporarily fix it, he decided to replace the whole piece. I've done it quite a few times, this is how they look before the aesthetic pieces go up.

Yeah, it really just seems to be missing the molding/trim, which presumably is the next step.

If I understand you correctly: yes. There is this little wedge that is attached to the trigger that can be set up against usually 2 or 3 different 'stops' and it holds the trigger up for you. Thank you simple machines.

In most states. In Hawaii (and I think California), this is not present, so you do have to hold the trigger the whole time.

No gas lock lever must suck for any one with a large diesel tank or stuff like welders/generators to fill up.

It does. I was a coach bus driver for my unit in Hawaii, and when I first started driving that behemoth (221 gallon tank), then diesel nozzle at the base's fuel farm didn't have the lock. At some point, they did install one, which made filling that thing up from halfway (where we tried to keep it) so much better.

I want to know what they're for. A country like the US that has been constantly at war in one way or another since the 90's it makes sense to have a bunch of campaign medals and such. NK must give them out for shelling unoccupied islands or killing civilians or something.

Having served in the Marines for four years (luckily staying out of war zones), this was my question, too. It's like the Army's award-giving philosophy taken to the nth degree.

It's like a common trope that everybody except for you knows about.

Maybe if by "everyone" you mean "everyone who knows more about sailing during this time period than they learned in high school", because I sure as hell hadn't heard anything about pirates or other sailors raping their own crew. Granted, I also hadn't learned much about the Barbary Wars, either.

SiKboy posted:

To be fair, most people dont stop learning when they leave high school.

Sure, but most people also don't end up taking history courses that cover that specific time period, or end up being interested enough in that period to go learn about it themselves. I, for example, took my humanities class on mythology and Tolkein (because why not), and don't have very much interest in history anyway, so I just never happened across that, despite having learned a lot about music. Funny how that works.
