But they’re jawa21! That’s got to count for something!

He also gave an interview about the experience of failing to upload his selfie. I think you’re right about him not caring about his privacy.

Some people just don’t appreciate complementing a woman on her cooking.

I can understand. It can be reductive if that’s the only characteristic we value someone for. I, myself, value a great sense of humor, but preferences, like seasonings, are to taste.

Tell your sister she has delicious looking thighs!

I first learned of this shooting via chat, and was lacking some context. I also didn’t know Blackstone INC was a thing.

I got so confused about why someone would target the CEO of a griddle company.

Weirdly they don’t care about all those vacations Clarence Thomas received from Harlan Crow.

“See. This is why I prefer rubber gloves instead of nitrile. That way I can keep doing the exam while they defibrillate, and my fingers don’t go numb!”

It’s either that or a hinge to the back of the skull.

They really made bad choices here.

I would buy that and turn it back into doors.

They didn’t remove the knob’s or even round over the edges. A mediocre woodworker could get 2 doors out of that. A skilled woodworker would get 3 (with some reattachment efforts).
I could probably get one whole door.

This will surely make housing more affordable in the U.S!

That’s part of the gig in many IT roles. You have to be at least partially available for IT help requests.

Whenever I’m in the middle of something and I get a message from someone high up on the org chart.

“Hey, got a moment for a quick question?”

Me, internally: ‘Ah, fuck.’
Externally: “Yeah, totally!”

 

I keep two old box knives in the kitchen junk drawer. One has a regular blade on it, and the other has a hooked blade because I think they’re safer and run less risk of damaging the stuff inside the box. But sometimes, you just need a regular box knife. They’re both old and handle rough, but they have seen a lot of use.

Last night I was painting. While trimming some masking tape against a hard edge I realized the blade on the regular box knife was a bit dull, so I went to change it. While flipping the blade around to the unused side, I noticed there were no more spare blades in the handle.

Today I bought a new pack of blades. They purport to be better quality and will stay sharper longer than the original set of blades that came with the knife, but I guess we’ll see how that holds up with use.
While adding the new blades into the handle, I decided to go ahead and clean up both knives - get all the tape residue out, and clean the internals. Then I gave the slightly rusty patina’d slide mechanisms a couple drops of 3-in-1 oil. I also gave the blades in the handle a drop along their sharp edges for good measure.

They open and close very satisfactorily now.
