You take that back, my throat scraping is lovely!

I can’t say anything about 80, but the 20 year old guys I liked when I was 20 are definitely not hot anymore now that I’m in my late 30s. The late 30s guys I used to think we’re basically one foot in the grave look a lot more interesting nowadays.

Electrocuting anyone who comes in contact with the power line, i.e. a lineman who might assume the line is de-energized

This is one of the reasons why your solar panels don’t function during a power outage.

That’s apparently not true, since the majority of you did vote for them.

I mean, I know how hard it sucks to have that keep happening. I know the only thing worse than having a shit Government is knowing that your idiot countrymen actually want it.

Much more so for dogs, but cats usually have a lot less bodyweight to absorb the badness.

We had all books stickered on the spine though, with the shelve/genre (for novels) or number (for educational books) and the first three letters of the author’s name. So it wasn’t overly hard and mostly worked out. People can mostly manage to match the picture and then alphabetise “DUM”, so the Three Musketeers would generally find it’s way back alright.

We still had walks to check though, and that’s probably where my lifeling obsession with alphabetising and straightening shelves comes from. I do it even when i’m in a random bookstore, just alinging the spines with the edge of the shelve after putting a book back.

I do occasionally cook for larger groups, and you need entirely different techniques. At home, you don’t need to account for the time the water spends between 70 and 100 degrees because that’s a minute at most. When you’ve got a hundred liters of water, that suddenly becomes very relevant. If you set your timer for 10 of actual boiling, your pasta will resemble porridge.

Also, I don’t personally own cooking gear to make food for 20+ people.

You vastly overestimate the level of these questions. Think “how do I send photos on Whatsapp”.

Most of the stuff is accurately answered by the shitty AI most of the time.

Shhhhh

I have a great rule to promote self reliance. I’ll gladly help you, but if the answer is in the first 20 results on Google, it costs you 50 euro.

I only had one relative get angry, asking how he was supposed to know if it was. I told him to check, and he angrily said “well then I might as well do it myself”.

Exactly.

For an academic Library, absolutely. But I worked at the local library here, and we didn’t track anything unless you checked out the book.

Wait, are people checking out books, bringing them home and then… Just putting them on the shelves again???

Wait, if you buy a 10 dollar scratch card, you can deduct 9 dollars from you income for tax purposes?

What do you think causes the Egyptian men’s problem with women? For context, I (a woman) was groped and physically harassed more during my 3 weeks in Egypt than in the entirety of the rest of my life combined.

Funfact: HAL9000 singing “Daisy” when pulling circuit boards is a reference to the IBM 7094 using the first speech synth in 1961, which was just 7 years before the movie.

Stop insulting us LARPers. What have we ever done to deserve it?

I’m convinced lots of people actually don’t think

Ah, close but that’s actually Oscillation. Orgasm is when you juxtapose two concepts with opposite meanings in one word or phrase, often for humor…

This person would break the sound barrier on their way out. Mostly on account of the last smart guy trying this.

Not in anything Petrochemical. They rulebooks habe a very clear restriction on “anything that is, or appears to be” (a cigarette).
