I do things to computers and I own goats.

If you want to know why the stock market continues to grow at a rate that drastically outpaces the general economy, the answer is stock buy backs. The problem is there's not an unlimited amount of stock so this can only go on for so long.

I'm strongly considering spending $750k-$950k on a Cirrus SR22 or a Beechcraft G36 Bonanza so I never have to deal with airlines ever again. Side note: No I do not have pilots license.

In the mid-90s I ran a small business very reliant on receiving phone calls. I got a second phone line that was on my business card as the fax line. I did receive faxes occasionally, but its primary purpose was so I could be on dial-up and still receive phone calls on my business line.

I had a second landline in the early 2000s that was exclusive to the fax machine (which doubled as a printer, a function I never used), but by the mid-oughts everything went email. I dropped the second landline by 2010. I haven't had a fax or printer since then.

The only good thing to come out of the dipshit Odyssey discourse is that at one point I commented “if we’re worried about accuracy, then Jason Mantzoukas should be playing Odysseus,” and now I can’t get it out of my head 😄

This kind of "evil" punk look comes straight out of the late '80s. I would imagine it's why it was selected. Jason's emo-harley look is more 90s. At any rate, it feels like they're pushing the nostalgia stuff pretty hard.

I find it weird how often body modification and piercings are used as short hand for villainary when in real life people like this are so often the kindest, most community-mind individuals. (I know he didn't look like this in the comic, which makes it even weirder).

OMG "Microwave time. set it to 99:99 like once a month, and then just press the start button and let my heart decide when it's been long enough. Then just open the door to stop it, and leave the rest of the time on the clock for next time. I get like 50+ uses out of the one time setting it to 99:99"
