My cellphone also has a clock.

.223: Proper American rifle round.

5.56: Communist European rifle round.

God. Had A and B and the VIC-20 before A.

Water is created and destroyed by biological and other process. Here go photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

I’ve made water to cure heartburn:

NaHCO3 + 2HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2

Burning wood (cellulose):

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6 H2O

This is how people dress when things are looking up in the world.

How people dress in 2025.

Confederate States of America - Mississippi Secession

A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union.

In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.

Was only looking for a good name for the comm. I can go from there. :)

Idiots will throw this in the trash. Businesses will as well.

I watch a couple of dude’s at Lowe’s uncapping and draining several hundred bottles of Powerade because they were past expiration. Working retail really got me educated in all the waste in our system. (Someone will scream, “caPiTaLisM!”. No, it’s a legal/liability thing. And it’s dumb.)

Purchase a thing. Any thing. See all the plastic you brought home? There was 2-3x that much in delivering it to you before you took it off the shelf.

Been wanting to start a comm on “stop buying shit, here are alternatives”. Taking votes for names. I could spend a week posting things I’ve actually done.

EDIT: Should note: Trashing goods = tax write off. That’s a money saver vs. “donated” or “sold at discount”. Yes, it’s cheaper to throw shit away than to sell, even at a deep discount.

I go to work at 5AM. Birds are how I know I’m on time and the party’s started.

Hung like a baby. 10 pounds of danglin’ fury.

They have to, it’s law. There was a scam 100-odd years ago where merchants would send you a package and then bill you for it. Nope. If they send it, it’s yours, period.

Who else read that in Alex Trebek’s voice?

Got damn! Went to check my spelling and:

cultural differences do exist

And a great many cultures didn’t give a shit about homosexuals. The meme is about our modern culture’s misinterpretation of older cultures. And speaking of history and culture, if you think you’re being persecuted now, oh boy, you should have been gay in 80s. We’ve come a long way in a few short decades.

3,140, uh, somethings? LOL, I started without realizing they defined pi as 5.

I think they’re in the same bucket as Red Lobster and KFC. Used to be fantastic, spent a couple of decades trimming corners until all that was left was the grease.

Good Housekeeping had a small panty ad in the back where you could catch a hint of bush. I beat my meat like it owed me money.

At Lowe’s, Craftsman is bottom of the barrel for power tools we sell.

I get those, but so rare that they still startle the shit out of me. Can’t describe the sound, since it’s all in my head. Not a sharp crack like a pistol, not a boom like a shotgun, not a crash like falling pots, not even in between, but every bit as loud.

Had it happen enough to be, “THE FU-! Oh. Whew. Just one of those things again. Back to the tinnitus.” (In a perverted way, I kinda dig the tinnitus. Not crippling like it is for many, just, “Neat! There it go again!”, and then my brain tunes it out.

Just a few clips of that movie scarred me as a child. Of course, so did the fembots.

And thank you! I merely followed directions, my first real IT job. But I’m proud to say I was there! As a private if not a general.
