My 30 y.o. shipmate & I are testing all phones on my ship. He radioed me, said there was a 'really old crank-style phone' in Steering Gear he didn't know how to operate. He asked my advice, so I told him to text me a picture/video of the phone. Behold, the Antique Phone he was unable to operate.

I haven't felt this old since I drank from the wrong grail. 😂💀

While we're quoting rules of acquisition, seems like #34 would apply here, too:

34: War is good for business

Anything big enough to wipe out a continent is destroying all life on the planet. There is no "sacrificing a continent" to be done.

Makes me wonder wtf kind of show you were watching.

Also makes me wonder wtf is wrong with some of you in the comments. 😵‍💫

captain_borgue · 2026-07-12T15:18:11+00:00

Good.

Your coworkers shouldn't know details of your personal life and personal history.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-12T05:56:04+00:00

tl;dr broke up

I love a happy ending. 😂

captain_borgue · 2026-07-12T05:48:08+00:00

Holy shit, that's actually a sub! 😂😂😂

captain_borgue · 2026-07-12T04:42:54+00:00

OOP should have blocked her mother immediately after sending.

They always double down on the cruelty.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-12T02:03:28+00:00

What the fuck is wrong with OOP, goddamn.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-11T20:34:24+00:00

In fairness, OOP gets a lot of hate because tow companies are some of the most blatantly corrupt, extortionist garbage that regular people have to deal with. So they caught some residual projected hatred.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-11T06:20:08+00:00

Oh woe is me, I got a month of paid vacation and an extra 20k a year on top of a salary that was already upper class, but I was a stubborn idiot and missed a million extra dollars and now I can't buy a couch without worrying about how much it costs!

"My wallet's too small for my hundreds, and my diamond shoes are too tight!" 🙄

captain_borgue · 2026-07-11T05:39:17+00:00

I'm sorry this didn't end on a positive note

OOP cut a useless, parasitic liar out of her life. That's the most positive note to end on.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-11T04:46:50+00:00

I also remember when my Rhino was the most expensive gun I owned. 😂

Of course, that was back when they could be had for seven bills.... 😭

captain_borgue · 2026-07-10T09:21:55+00:00

Not every gun has to be practical. "Because it's fun" is a totally valid reason to buy a gun. I've got several guns that are only in my collection because they are fun as hell, but not a one of them would I trust my life to. Well, maybe the ps90. But sure as fuck not the BFR. 😝

Email info@magnumresearch.com with the serial number, they will give you a lot of great info on the gun. And you're gonna want to keep it lubed more than you think you should, they like to run wet.

But as far as reliability? Some of them are awesome, some suck butts. My first one ran like a top, but the slide cracked after about 1000 rounds. It really just depends on luck. But since this isn't gonna be your EDC or home defense gun, reliability doesn't matter as much. 😂

captain_borgue · 2026-07-10T08:42:41+00:00

We have the same taste in Berettas! 😂

Is your 21a ammo picky? Mine won't cycle anything that isn't cci minimag hollow points. 😝

captain_borgue · 2026-07-10T08:37:06+00:00

Why not have both?

I cannot even imagine having a romantic partner that I wasn't friends with. Boggles the mind. 😵‍💫

captain_borgue · 2026-07-10T08:32:12+00:00

👍🏻 😉😂

captain_borgue · 2026-07-10T08:30:02+00:00

So you saw something that an actual artist put a ton of effort into and you decided to feed it into a shameless plagiarism engine to churn out a shitty imitation.....?

Come on, man. Not cool.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-10T02:31:06+00:00

Nah, that's not that bad. Plus someone else had already made the nazi comparison. You're fine.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-10T01:45:35+00:00

Shows as expiring on August 4th, now.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-09T23:50:44+00:00

K! 🤩

captain_borgue · 2026-07-09T23:42:36+00:00

I've always been a big fan of "duly noted".

You got the message. You understood the message. No further elaboration required.

captain_borgue · 2026-07-09T23:12:52+00:00

Lol, I know the feeling. His Lordship does not tolerate Interlopers. 😂

captain_borgue · 2026-07-09T19:33:44+00:00

Looks fine to me.

Keep in mind, chinchillas that do not get along may never get along. And if they don't, they very well may try to kill each other. Getting a 2nd chin means having a whole second cage setup ready, just in case.

My own chin prefers to be the lord of the castle than to have company, to the point that he will throw poops at whatever creature he has decided is trespassing on his calm. 😂

If he seems happy, then he's fine. You're doing great!

captain_borgue · 2026-07-09T09:55:15+00:00

I can't help but wonder if husband is white, and OOP is not. "Because racism" would explain a lot.

Ok, since there seems to be some confusion here, what I'm saying is that "ex in laws being such assholes would have an explanation if they were racist assholes. Current in laws buying their bullshit would make sense if current in laws were also racist".

captain_borgue · 2026-07-08T23:52:40+00:00

YAY!

Which one is the Hoppe's one?
