That solar panel looks useful.

Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can’t say from firsthand knowledge…

But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.

I feel very bad for whoever considers me a villain in their story.

Like not to belittle them or their struggles, but uh… gestures to self just look at me…

We’re going to have to find language that more effectively conveys what we should be saying.

“ICE don’t deserve to live and should all be executed for domestic terrorism, murder, and treason”

When they’re finally convinced it’s hurting The Brand™

The aircraft tail in the background indicates that specific plane was manufactured in '47, and crashed in 1950, so the picture had to be taken in the summer of 48, 49, or 50.

In fairness to you, small aircraft general designs haven’t changed much over the decades, and I was also surprised to see that style of top before the 1960s.

A couple flock cameras near my town keep getting taken out and put back up.

The latest blurry security camera footage to catch the culprit has led to sweet FA since they ride a nondescript dark color mountain bike, wear all black clothing without logos or text, and seem to avoid riding their bike unmasked near businesses with cameras and houses that might have door cameras.

I don’t even think they know gender/skin/hair color. Anything other than “average human height” really.

Anyway, shout out to everyone who destroys one of these things. It’s illegal, but it’s the morally correct thing to do.

FN P90 because they are objectively the coolest guns

It’s a legal border map, not a landmass map, which is weird to me.

The white brick at the bottom is for detecting large objects (cars) and is either controlling a traffic signal, or is being used to count traffic going through that spot.

An intersection near me uses them to switch the lights at an intersection where traffic almost never comes from, so a timed light is unnecessary, but important traffic still comes from that direction.

I work in a place that deals primarily with aluminum extrusion and sheeting.

About a month ago one of the guys at lunch was saying something about how he doesn’t want his ex-wife to get his kids vaccinated because “all the aluminum and mercury is gonna make them r*****d”

I told him to take a closer look at his tuna sandwich because he definitely has shed aluminum dust onto his food unless he takes his jacket off and shakes his hair out, and he should probably wear a mask because that faint glitter in the air isn’t fairy dust. Also look up mercury content in tuna.

The HR guy came out because apparently I “called a coworker a slur for autistic people” when he connected the dots that “if I believe those things make one autistic then they must be calling me autistic since I inhale and ingest aluminum all day at work and mercury is in my food” and felt that I was insulting him by informing him of the things he should already know.

(apologies if this was a little incoherent, I just woke up)

As long as you behave yourselves like good citizens and don’t say true things about the party that make them look bad, of course you can return!

Personally I like to interpret it as

Pretty much all I’ve been hearing is praise. I think it’s more reflective of which places we go for discussions than reflective of the quality of the show.

With a small but vocal minority hating on the (in best ferengi impression) feeeeeeeemale characters, it’s been mostly “it’s great” or “it’s not my cup of earl Grey but it’s being done well for the most part and I hope it does well”

Or as my 2008-era dvd subtitles say, “speaks Chinese”

It made me do a double-take the first time, because it was quite clear what he said.

I once had a long-time friend (through her shirt/sleeve holes) take her bra off and throw it at me and then sit on my lap at a party once.

It was another 3 years before I found out she had a huge crush on me and was hoping I would do literally anything other than sit there awkwardly

In many English speaking places, “slept with” is an old euphemism for sex.

I always assumed it was because the couple stereotypically spent the night together and This way you can supposedly “preserve the innocence” of people who don’t know.

More like “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-s sir, please stomp on me harder with your big heavy boots”

Bonus picture

I was going through some of my dad’s old things recently and found a pack of blueprints from the 70s.

Sadly it’s missing page 1 of 12.

Yeah this is way WAY too plausible.
