That will also be my defense when I start using one on my neighbors.

It's a weird world when a 32gig micro sd card is just something to toss in the miscellaneous ram box in my desk drawer because it's kinda pointless.

I'll use it for something, I just don't know what right now. It's just weird to consider 32 gigs of ram as small. I have a couple 2 gig chips that I suppose should just be thrown away. I was saving them for the same reason

I got all excited because a guy at work was wearing a cool Star Wars shirt I had never seen before. He said he made it himself because he does custom t-shirts as a side gig. It turns out he just copied a design he saw on the internet. You can buy the same design on a t-shirt on Amazon for twenty bucks. Here I thought he was doing something original, but noooooo!

Back probably 8–9 years ago, Chapter, the son of my friend Stefan, had gotten a camera to either take pictures or video, I forget which. At probably about 10, he is very excited and wants to use his new toy. Anyway, he asks if he can borrow a memory card. So, I go through my collection, and discover something that I didn't even know I had: a 1GB memory card. Value to me: nothing; a 15-minute video in HD can easily reach 4GB. So I told him he could just keep it. He was very thankful.

Cool: The chick at the vape store today called me "baby" as I said "Cya".
Not cool: She was ugly.
Really not cool: I realized I accidentally bought an "iced" (strong hint of menthol/mint) flavor even after taking too long to pick my shit out.. so I have to go back tomorrow to exchange it!

Can there be a copy of Star Wars where Darth Vader and all the stormtroopers have Cookie Monster eyes?

We've had a couple different manufacturers of vacuum cleaners around here and I am so sick of how bored the designers and engineers obviously are. The vacuum cleaner was perfected in the 1950s. Oh, you want to put headlights on it? Great! I'll even say: go ahead and make those LEDs.
But god, the "Look at me :^)" cleverness of modern ones make me sick. I took the dirt collecting cylinder tonight and neither myself nor my wife could figure out how to twist it back on. Me, I get I am not mechanically inclined. My wife is the smartest person in my mind who can imagine 3D structures completely in her mind and she was stumped. Do the creators of these things have any idea how little time I want to spend futzing with their garbage design? I'd NEVER vacuum if it were up to me. "Mites got him" can be on the tombst-- ashes receptacle. It's a container that opens and closes. Twist top, pop top I don't care: both were made two minutes after the first homonoid man invented the wheel. And this is the cheapest vacuum cleaner that Amazon sells. I fully expect it to more or less be as disposable as what it picks up for $35, but Christ, I'm sorry that the ball and shoulder joint used in our shoulders and vacuum cleaners by God 6,000 years ago and there is no real way to iterate on it. Just make sure the assembly lines keep these things rolling, dickcheesen.
APPLIES TO VACUUMS, FRIENDO

My boy has six (6) vacuum cleaners. The last one he bought has LASERS built into it. Lasers! Sometimes I think he's a vacuum head, like those sneaker collectors

The dog has his own futon mattress. The Mrs bought fitted sheets for him. I just made his bed and turned down his blanket and left a couple dog cookies for him.
Would you say he's a spoiled dog?

Since the guest gets fitted sheets, turn-down service and breakfast in bed at your 6-star facility¹, I think that is the case.

¹Yes, I know hotels only get ratings of 1 - 5, but I added one for the Dog Star, Sirius.

Facebook has noticed some unusual activity and locked me out. I only use FB on vacations. This is a benchmark post to show when I deleted the app out of my phone.

Ah, my bad. I forgot about the Facebook super-censors. This is from my trip in 1986. I posted it in a mild fit of euphoria
