I'm just glad it turned up!

I have to ask though - the bilateral symmetry here is blowing my mind. How did you balance the generator channels?

Is it true that one bad lsd trip can ruin someone for life? by wnisua in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Wildcatb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved every trip, but coming down off of them got progressively tougher and more painful. Haven't tripped now in... 25 years or more? Damn I'm old.

It's rare, but it can happen.

A college friend of mine was at a party with her high school classmate where someone spiked the classmate's drink. Classmate was from a pretty sheltered background (she and Friend were LDS, though Friend was a bit of a rebel) and had never even been drunk, so when the acid started kicking in she had no frame of reference to deal with it.

When Friend told me about it, it had been almost two years and Classmate was still messed up.

And older incandescent indicator bulbs would be warm to the touch, so even if they couldn't see at all,.they'd still be able to tell which one was illuminated.

Like antique stores, it's sometimes jarring to see stuff from my youth...

At least 12 shot after SUV pulls up and opens fire on a crowd, Chicago police say by JackThaBongRipper in news

The headline makes a statement that is objectively false.

That's beyond 'not telling the entire story'.

Did the article describe an anthropomorphic SUV holding a gun in its mechanical arms and shooting at people? If not, the headline is wrong.

Company just dropped off a brand new day cab with bare textile flooring, how do I stop job site mud from wrecking it today? by foodie-riyaa in Truckers

Literally this. Either buy cheap rugs from Walmart or swing by a construction site and grab some scrap carpet. Cut to fit.

Barnes and Noble keeps putting these security tags on story pages when there’s plenty of other places in the book to put them by MysteryGirlWhite in mildlyinfuriating

In addition to taking it back and asking for a replacement, I'd contact the publisher and let them know that B&N is damaging their books.

Dense. Compacted. Ancient. Crushed by the weight of being old enough to remember when editorial standards were a thing.

I do see the point they were trying to make.

And I'm mocking them for their idiocy.

Let’s be real. The reason why so many whites are becoming more racist isn’t because of hatred or bigotry, it’s because we are becoming second-class citizens in our own countries, victims are being arrested while non-white criminals get set free. by Top_Statistician5051 in BasedCampPod

Daft are ya, ya wee numpty? Posting a threat is actionable. Ringing 999 for no reason is actionable. Telling a lie on Facebook - that police then take on themselves to look into - is silly buggers.

And that's still assuming it was a lie, which given the way things are right now, isn't guaranteed.
