  • I was at a gas station one day, pumping my gas like normal when this lady came up to me. She was from New Jersey and visiting my state and had no idea how to pump her own gas. New Jersey doesn't allow you to pump your own gas BTW. I talked her through it and she seemed genuinely freaked out by the whole experience, like she was afraid her car would just burst into flames as she pumped. She was an older lady too (maybe 50-60), but i guess she never traveled alone before and just hadn't had to do it for herself. Nice lady though, she gave me 5 bucks for helping her out.

  • dons foil hatIt was for the giants. Cultures across the world have myths of giants. If any of those myths are based in reality, these big shoes could have been for the descendants of the giants that have interbred with us humans over the ages. By the time of Hadrian's wall these part giants would have been nothing more than large humans.

  • We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.

  • Or alternatively, you need a pile of cocaine on a kit-kat.

  • I had a cat that would get in the litter box, do her little ritual of scratching and pawing like most cats do. Then she would stick her but over the edge and squeeze one out on the floor next to her box. She would pee in the litter box but refused to poop in it. We tried all kinds of different box sizes and shapes, and nothing worked. We ended up just laying newspaper under the box for years. Goofy goober. Cat tax -

  • Bunch of fucking wanna be bad asses playing dress up just cracking each other up.

  • Speaking of, anyone else find it funny (read blatantly obvious) that you cant choose a tax amount this year on your W4? Used to be able to select withholding amount, now its just "We'll figure it out for you". I bet they were afraid of everyone marking 0 this year.

  • Gears like this are one of my minor pet peeve in media. I know this was AI but even humans get it wrong a lot.

  • I forget the name but there was/is an add on that obfuscates your data by clicking on every ad and searching random things in the background. Im sure something similar could be made for this.

  • Lloyd was the firs that came to mind. I think it works though.

  • Much like how having two ears allows our brains to spatially map out sounds in 3d. Thats really neat, I didn't know that.

  • Can we crowdfund this?

  • Oh the huge manatee!

  • You joke but Ive been visited by the billing department while I was on a gurney in the ER, to ask me how I planned on paying today. That was with insurance. God that pissed me off typing that out. Screw the US health system.

  • My mistake, I hadn't considered the recycled water would be supplied by the city like that. Where I was it was mostly retention ponds like I mentioned. As for being stable in winter, that really depended on rain. If we got a decent rain a few times a month it would mostly even out, but even then we still needed topping off from time to time.

  • I was an irrigation tech at a 27 hole golf course a while back. We had the reclaim system you're talking about and a retention lake that we would pull from. During the winter (Florida) it was pretty close to a stable system. There wasn't much loss to evaporation and our lake didn't need to be refilled. During the summer and especially in droughts, more than half our water was city water supplementing our lake. We would pump about 1 million gallons of water per night normally. In the summer and drought seasons it could be closer to 2 million per night and half of that was city water. We were a smaller course too, some of the PGA 36 hole courses could easily double those numbers. Golf courses are a blight on the land and a giant waste of all kinds of resources.

  • Im guilty of this. I dont write out the passwords in plaintext though. Its mostly just a few letters to remind me of which version of my many "master" passwords i used and then asterisks. P***W0*******$ kinda thing. I know its bad but I can't bring myself to trust a password manager.

  • Not sure if nip or mole and wont know for another 10-15 minutes.

  • Paying astronauts to bump uglies with tax dollars could cause a bit of a controversy.
