Ten pills once is chump change

When I was a patient at the VA pain clinic for a couple years, I could fart ten pills on any given day.

jumping won’t impress her

Unless it's jump humping.

valuable

Till he's not, or worse, becomes a liability.

Once he's washed up there, would be funny if they extradited him back to the US. Double whammy if he ever makes it back.

Funny thing I've been driving for 30+ years, and have never had a formal driving test:

  • Permit at 15: No tests, only restriction was to have a licensed passenger in-vehicle

  • License at 16: Had driver's ed in school, state's driving test waved, and license transferred to other states without any new driving test

  • Motorcycle license: Took a safety course while in the military, state added endorsement without any test, which also transferred out-of-state

  • Heavy vehicles: Trained on military 5-ton/deuce+0.5/Frontloaders/HMMWVs - all kinds of heavy equipment - no formal tests, only unit sign-off (even on civilian roads)

  • The kicker: I now live in a US state where a driver license is good with no re-testing till age 64

Gonna suck when I actually do have to take a test. Hopefully there will be sane infra to go completely driverless by the time I get that old.

executing foreign JavaScript

This is a great point I try to convey to my less-technical friends and family. Looking at a webpage is not like changing the channel on a tv of old. Looking at a webpage pulls code from who knows where and executes it on your local machine.

These advertisers expect that I should blindly trust them to execute code on my cpu, in my memory, on my machine? Yeah fuck that, it's a privilege. I don't invite every hobo walking by to come into my house and take a shit in my toilet.

If they don't like that not everyone executes their syphilis-ridden javascript, then they should put their shit behind a paywall. But they won't, since they know they don't have a product worth paying for.

lol, no - just curious what town/city, or even just state/country. The vegetation, river walls, and architecture all seem so unfamiliar to me. I'm just not sure where this might be (Greece? would be my guess)

 

I got an email from reddit to the address for one of my old Reddit logins. The text, in part, when visiting the URL they provided (had to be logged in, not all of my old handles could see it):

Yes, it's really happening this time, and as we take the next step toward becoming a public company, we're inviting all eligible redditors to participate in Reddit's IPO.

“Eligible” you note skeptically? Yes. Unfortunately, there are a ton of imposed legal restrictions defining when, who, and how we do this. So while our goal is to give all redditors the same access to stock as institutional investors (why should they have all the fun?), our lawyercats tell us we must follow specific rules listed below.

Our Directed Share Program (“DSP”) is set up to let eligible users and moderators own a piece of Reddit by purchasing Reddit stock at the same price as institutional investors when we IPO. We will offer this opportunity to as many redditors as we are able to accommodate, and the number of people who can participate is limited.
