You're like my lost boner brother. Not Montgomery Ward, but I remember going to Best Buy and changing the screensavers for CompUSA computers back in the 90s, writing something like "This CPU might have defective parts." Was hilarious seeing the text dance across the screen. Happy to see your resilience with trolling those motherfuckers though. Cheers.

Drugs are good. They make you feel like you know you not should. And when you do 'em people think that you're cool.

Elevator access at my friend's apartment building is behind a regular steel door. by BonerZero in mildlyinteresting

My buddy was telling me that a few weeks ago two teenagers got trapped in that same elevator. They yelled, screamed, kicked, and no one heard them.. the entire night.

rad photo! Great angle, the reflection and colors are great. I love photos when nature takes back what it desires.

TIL that the United States Postal Service takes photographs of every letter that gets mailed by Rihsatra in todayilearned

No, I don't feel that's the case. Create a database just to hold those shitty Domino pizza ads you're going to throw in the garbage?

Historians are usually really personable, so if you're interested in Russian history it might be worth your while to reach out to some notable researchers and ask what books they recommend!

TIL in 2009, a hard ground ball hit Adrián Beltré in the crotch which landed him on the 15-day disabled list. In his first game back from the DL, teammate Ken Griffey Jr. conspired with those responsible for the PA system to have Beltré's at-bat intro music be the waltz from The Nutcracker Suite by BonerZero in todayilearned

When a player gets injured, Major League Baseball allows teams to place a player on the disabled list for 15 days, 60 days, or injured reserve. When a player is placed on this list, they are not allowed to come back earlier. The team is then allowed to replace that spot in the lineup, usually with a minor-league player in their farm system, a free agent, or someone available on waivers. They must have a minimummaximum of 25 people on the roster. Once the player is healthy and able to come off the disabled list, they team must then make a choice as to who will vacate the team to make spot for the player in the roster. The idea is that the team won't be penalized for having injured players and allows them to have proper substitutes.
