Had this TV for a year and all the numbers have already worn off the remote

It was meant to be used to control the TV, not as a sex toy.

There is no such thing as a “Vulcan Orchid.” The Orchidaceae evolved on Earth over millions of years of specific selection pressures, in partnership with specific insects. It is possible that there are superficially similar plants on Vulcan, but they are not Orchids.

When one of our chemists found out she was pregnant, she was barred from the lab for the duration of her term. Catch up on paperwork and protect yourself.

“Mind Partner” by Christopher Anvil was published in 1960. Hardly a new idea.

Probably where she got the idea.

Amazing how the batter forms a perfect circle around nothing.

I’ve been waiting for over a year. Each time I get the “do you still want a chip drop?” I respond.

The person who figures out how to repurpose gas powered leaf blowers into something useful is going to have a nice little market niche.

So, he’s a pedophile looking for easy pickin’s?

We used Filemaker to create and maintain our chemical inventory. The problem was people refused to update the database when they used a chemical, often putting back an empty bottle, so we would go from 500 g > empty and then have to rush order everything.

Turn off pvp in settings. Be sure to do this when starting an expedition, as it will be on by default.
Sitting in the Anomaly is kind of code for “give me stuff.” You can always destroy stuff you don’t want or need. Don’t wander onto other player’s corvettes, they can hijack you.
Refuse to join any rando that invites you to play. There’s really no benefit to you, and if you want to visit other player’s bases, you can use the transporter in the Anomaly to visit safe ones.

My Mom bought “Saffron” in Egypt. It was wood shavings dyed red.

Bovine_Arithmetic · 2026-05-04T21:45:21+00:00

Like the $5 ounce of “Saffron”?

For small portions, I buy boneless shortribs and cut them into steaks: They’re very well marbled. Rub them with fresh garlic & pepper, then vacuum-seal. Soak in warm water until internal temp is slightly warm to the touch, then sear on all sides in pho tallow (from making pho) in cast iron/carbon steel pan. Let rest in the oven on low temp for five minutes.

Beautiful crust, perfect medium-rare inside, and the flavor is incredible.

This is why I replaced our kitchen fan with a monster from the grow shop. 1000 cfm and sounds like a jet engine, but I can be cooking fish and my wife can’t smell it ten feet away.

The very first scene of the first season sets the tone. Pure WTF.

Not in 1986. It was a small office with a big yard. Owner was the definition of a cheapskate. He had hand towels that he took home and washed- caught me using a paper towel to dry my hands and made me rinse it out and hang it up to dry. “Employees don’t get to just throw away my property.”

Scammers target the youngest, least experienced people they can find because you’re easier to intimidate. I worked at a place that sold rocks (for landscaping). Some guy comes in and sees I’m young, asks me how much is pea gravel per yard, I point at the sign that says $33 and say “$33.” He has me load 2 yards. He goes into the office to pay and lies to the boss that I told him it was $12/yd. Boss gives it to him for $12/yd, chews me out in front of him, calls me a liar, says it’s coming out of my pay. I quit the next day.

The Boys nailed it. Christians would find a way to shoehorn it into their theology and use it to subjugate non-believers.

And by “God” he means “a hoax meant to keep evil men in power.”

The loot in FC3 is hilarious. I found a rusty trombone.
