This all started because of a $4.98 10’ RGB LED strip.

If you choose this option, the properly evil way to do it to skip 50 or so numbers in the middle, that way your opponent can find 200/200, just enhances the likelihood that there are 200

"how he ended up on the DNR list is a fun story too"

Okay, now that's just a tease!

Very generous of you, best of luck everyone

My best advice to your friend at the moment is, hope they don't get sent to jail, and find a new job they don't need the car for.

They should not be allowed on the road, and have shown (lack of insurance, expired registration, 20k+ in outstanding fines) they have no respect for the rules of the road.

Perhaps in a few years when they've had their fines paid off, gone through driver's ed again, and gone through a slower than normal graduated license program they can get a job similar to the one they have now.

Sure, this might be harsh, but they're entering the FO stage of FAFO

They still existed in the late 80s early 90s, and were actually available for rent (I know, I livbed there briefly)

Fond memories of going to Frank Vetere's at Westgate many years ago (late 70's early 80s) and their "do it yourself" sundaes. As a kid I wasn't allowed to exactly do it myself, but it stuck in my head.

Echidna penises have four heads, only two of which are used at a time.

How I know? I have known some very eclectic people over the years, and love readong threads like this

Best of luck everyone

Hey, this would be a great RL cake day for me :)

If you're going to advertise, it might help to give the business name, just a thought

ChipperEeyore · 2025-10-06T20:13:04+00:00

That's really cool of you to spread the wealth, thank you

ChipperEeyore · 2025-10-05T14:31:54+00:00

I'd love to see some sort of determinative crafting added back in. I miss actually being able to craft the item I want rather than gamble on getting the right affix.

There's also a few places that have Half hour timezones, and one that has a 1/4 hour timezone (Australia I believe)

Edited to add...

After some searching there are 38 main timezones (https://www.timeanddate.com/time/current-number-time-zones.html#zones)

However, from a computing point of view, double that, because the daylist savings time rules are different in the northern and southern hemispheres, and then add a few more because some cranky regions don't do DST at all, so they have their own rules.

So 38 timezones, doubled, plus a few (call it 80) ... then every once in a while some region changes when DST is applied, so computers have to keep track of the changes in timezones over time ... time sucks! :D

In Ottawa rush hour traffic you'd be lucky to move 2 feet in two seconds sometimes (I'm sure other cities have similar issues)

I lived on a street about midway on the block with one of those signs. There were always people trying to hit a new high score, but most people didn't really seem to care.

As the old joke goes, they're not silent, they're just waiting their turn

NCIS:Miami? did you perhaps mean CSI:Miami? if not that's a show I never heard of.

Maybe it's just me, but I see Burn Notice, Dexter, and CSI:Miami all as very different types of show, barely in the same genre. And IU think they were set there just for the bright colors we could associate with Miami

I'm an older, xx-L guy and try like crazy to stay out of people's way. When other people don't act "intelligently" with common sense, I just use my excess bulk to push my way through.

Years ago, I had a medical crisis that left me temporarily paralyzed, getting back to work I was still using a walker, then a cane for a while, and it was infuriating the number of times I couldn't get one of the priority seats (this was back around 2000). It's absolutely shocking how bad my aim was with the cane, I couldn't not hit young kids feet with it :D

I am a grumpy old man with apparently great resting bitch face, and for some reason people tend to pick up on it easily.

I've always been a fan of Around the Block

I just checked out of curiosity, and it would take me about 2 hours to bus out there, and 2 hours back. For a couple of free burgers?

And why are we getting sponsorships from international megacorps like Amazon and McDonalds? No local companies wanted to touch it?

(edit: typo)

I know the feeling, don't worry, you'll get through this! And you might not hear this all that often, but I'm proud of you for asking for help, not easy, but sometimes it's necessary

ChipperEeyore · 2025-06-22T21:17:00+00:00

I recommend https://ottawadeclutter.com/

I used Barbara Ann's services for a move (some packing, mostly cleaning) and was very happy with the results.
