This looks really cool, but it's way outside my price range.

I'll have to keep an eye out when I'm hiking

Dang it, this is why I can't have nice things

They're coming to get you, Barbara!

I once got to do a tour of a historic fort, and when we visited the magazine the guide told us that garrisoned soldiers were issued wooden button fly trousers. They couldn't use a zipper because a spark might set off the gunpowder, and also they hadn't been invented yet.

I'm sure it probably varies geographically, but when the plastic ban came first came into effect for us you'd see a lot of reusable shopping bags that were made from plastic.

I remember reading a study that suggested the typical reusable plastic bag used as much plastic as two-thousand disposable bags. So if you had one of those bags, you'd have to use it once a week for forty years to offset your plastic karma burden.

But anyway, as they say, you should bring your own bag because otherwise they'll make more disposable bags. It has to be legislated, otherwise corpos are going to corpo and we'll continue drowning in plastic.

These shopping bag bans don't go far enough imo. The amount of plastic in packaging, shipping, medicine, fishing, whatever industry you choose - it's just mind boggling.

Here's a funny plastic quibble I have: a store near me sells bread which comes in a plastic bag, but the little clip/tag to tie off the bag they recently switched to cardboard. A token gesture, but hey, it's still nice to see. Now if you want to buy in bulk, you can buy a bag of bread with two bags of bread in it. The outer bag is tied off with a plastic tag.

I'm gonna keep it real with you, chief. I don't like what you said and I wouldn't love you anymore. Your girlfriend is probably a better person than me.

She needs compassionate care. Not to be threatened with eternal torture. You can't fix suffering with the promise of more suffering, that's just pouring gas on the fire.

I started a new job recently that's much more physically demanding than I'm used to. Unpacking stock, lots of lifting.

Normally I'd expect it would be my back giving me grief, but it seems it's my elbow. Seems like Tennis Elbow, it only hurts when I move, but even small things like my phone cause me pain.

It's mostly gone away, but I wouldn't be surprised if it rears up again. I'm playing it as safe as I can and doing lots of stretches and stuff.

On the bright side, when I finally get used to it I expect to be in the best shape of my life

Pluto is and will always be Hot Shit.

Actually, it's very cold on Pluto. Which makes Pluto cooler than Fonzie

What doesn't kill you might succeed on a second attempt.

Quack

My mouth hurts so that my heart doesn't

3 hours of debugging can save you 30 minutes of reading the documentation

I suppose people will always do what they think is easiest
