GET DOWN, trash panda!

Here is a free book about it: https://archive.org/details/the-art-and-science-of-dumpster-diving-paladin-press

Many excellent tips and tricks.

Best wishes.

Also: ATM machine. So…the machine machine? Not just the machine?

I assume I’m unusual because whenever I say an acronym I think the entire phrase. So repetition like this grates on my nerves.

People do this with other acronyms…can’t think of other examples now.

I loathe: “With that said…”.

This is almost always meaningless words thrown in to make the listener(s) think you’re more intelligent. I always think the opposite.

Interesting.

I was thinking along the lines of eharmony where (I think?) everyone pays to play. I understand the ploy you describe exists and I do want to avoid that shit.

Probably. Valid point.

Thanks. I’ve done it before and you are correct, there are some real assholes out there. I might get better results if I pony up some cash for a site or service.

I have been thinking about trying online dating again. Not really looking forward to it because I expect it to be a mess.

I think I’ll try a very minimalist approach on my profile because most people read profiles looking for reasons to reject. If I don’t give many possible reasons to reject then I should increase the pool of people to date. In theory, anyway.

Mostly, yeah.

My politics don’t conform to most parties or ideologies so I will almost always piss someone off. I look at most issues on their own and decide what makes the most sense to me. So I’m left on this and right on that but not part of any party.

Sweet summer child. It was a thing.

I like Aldi’s chocolate. All of it.

This was my first thought. Foil comes to mind first, but if you want Christmas theme then use Christmas wrapping paper.

You kids stay the DUCK off my lawn!!!

I’m VERY old school.

OTA radio

Youtube - search for my genre(s)

Wikipedia (starting here and winding down a wiki-hole)

HardRadio

There is a lot of interesting info here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Is+it+greener+to+just+burn+plastic&ia=web

Also, I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia article on microplastics.

Interesting. I should try this.

I think this is a great answer.

I would buy a camera security system so it’s always on and you have an automatic record. Something with a hard drive.

Don’t say anything about it, just quietly set it up first pointing at your house. For “your security”. Then a few days later point those cams at their house / the street / their yard / etc. You may see more that you didn’t know was going on.

Video evidence goes a long way. More than a person’s word, usually. Sadly.

The question is how to help the unwashed masses learn to use F-Droid.

I don’t think injecting someone with a sedative AFTER they’re handcuffed makes any sense. And if ketamine has any negative interactions with anything then it is not safe to inject anyone.

Has this really been considered carefully enough? If anyone might have died from it then it needs to stop until it has been studied very carefully and completely.

No one should die from being arrested. Stop the insanity.

Hi, home! I’m dad.
