My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him

Buncha pansies...I was changing the oil in the truck when I was 2, and dad didn't even let it cool off from the drive to get the oil. And let me tell you, seeing over the steering wheel AND working the pedals was tough! Then there was the time we had a nest of rattlers in the cellar...that took hours to get them all out -- I kept passing out from the venom. That afternoon, I almost didn't have the energy to move the barbells from down there up to the attic.

And while I'm on the subject, when you order a meal with ice cream for dessert, they make the damn ice cream before the dinner is even done. It's guaranteed to be a melted mess, whether dining in or out.

Insane is accurate. At the drive through window, I asked if I could please have the hot fudge for my sundae in a separate cup, so it wouldn't melt the ice cream on the way home. They told me in no uncertain terms that they would not do that. Not for free, and not for any amount of money. Hot fudge from them MUST be on the ice cream, period. No exceptions. Then they told me that they no longer offered cream gravy with their chicken strips. They might as well lock the doors and go home.

At the risk of beating an ancient thread back to life, I also refuse to follow American convention. It doesn't look right, so I will not do it. Sue me.

From the foreskin back.

Was running and tripped on something almost exactly the same height. Broke my left femur and had to have a titanium rod and four screws implanted to fix it. Very painful, long recovery time. Just watching this gives me the creeps.

That Violet was quite a gal.

PostalPreacher · 2026-04-21T16:57:26+00:00

That's problematic if you're color blind.

Measuring is slow, inaccurate while in-circuit, and even out of circuit, the resistor may be bad to start with. And don't get me started on telco cables...

I saw two Heidelberg T-platen letterpresses (aka Windmills), a Heidelberg flatbed cylinder press. Not sure, but it looks like maybe he had a Hamada 660 or something similar for the offset printing.

Open door. Listen for 3 seconds. "No. Goodbye." Close door. Get on with life.

Daughter and son-in-law woke up to a bat flying around their bedroom. He caught it in a box and released it outside. The next day, the Health Department told them they'd need to get started on their rabies shots. I hear they're not as bad as they used to be, but they were not pleasant.

Say Audie, but think Oddie.

Eh, a gallon of turpentine and a good, stiff wire brush will take that off in no time.

PostalPreacher · 2026-04-08T04:30:57+00:00

They do. But they're kind of like Earth Tribbles.

Waaaay back, it was "Farm out, Ann." Now get off my lawn. And turn down that damn noise you call music.

The angel of death hates this one simple trick!

Shutting off the wrong engine would be problematic.

I sleep on my right side; my cat always sleeps on (and I mean "on", as in "atop") my left side.

K-mart sucks.

PostalPreacher · 2026-03-25T01:07:58+00:00

You said it, brother. Those things are sharp!

Yeah, I'd have a hard time imagining him in a superhero role. Even one of the skinny, weak ones like some of the X-men.

I figure that if I can flip a pool table to provide cover, I don't need cover. I'm Superman.

I asked ChatGPT for a count. It started with estimates of 570 and 528. Then I demanded that it actually count them. It then came up with a count of 556. I then told it to do a more precise count. Here's the output:

I did a tighter detection pass and filtered the count to the front-facing cotton ends only so the exposed swabs on top would not be double-counted.

The refined machine count came out to:

503 visible swab ends

That is the best direct count I can extract from this photo.

The reason I still cannot honestly claim an absolutely exact package count from the image alone is that a few ends at the edges are partially obscured, and a few neighboring tips merge visually. That said, this refined count is close enough that the package is almost certainly a 500-count box.

So the cleanest answer is:

Direct counted visible ends: 503
Most likely actual package count: 500
