Yeah this is crazy.

I love that commercial with the younger players in the NHL mocking gen Z stereotypes, and Crosby at the end going, “Kids these days.” Makes me laugh every time.

Good start!

I always encourage people to do an audit of what is on every breaker when they get a new home (and make notes). It takes a little while, but when something like this happens, you know exactly where to look. It’s harder to diagnose if you don’t know what breaker the fixture is on.

Agree on the GFCI advice. I had that happen - the GFCI outside tripped and took out half of the lights in my kitchen. Whoever wired them put them electrically downstream of the GFCI. Took me days to figure out what was going on, because it didn’t occur to me that the outside GFCI would be protecting my kitchen lights. And I wasn’t trying to use the outside outlet for anything, so I didn’t notice it was out.

What censorship? I see someone posted the comic in the comments, and I can’t spot any differences. Maybe OP updated the original post.

We’re not in Fuck Cars, right?.. Okay.

I bought my first new car in 1999. A friend of mine commented that she had no idea what I was going to do for a midlife crisis car. I figured I’d keep it 10 years, then move on.

But here I am, approaching half a century old, and I’m still happy with my car and have zero plans to get rid of it, ever (it’s not a daily driver, so it doesn’t accumulate that many miles - we usually drive my wife’s car for most errands and driving to work).

I am drooling over a new bicycle though…

LGC!

Yep. And even though I’m also a cyclist, I’ve almost made the same mistake while driving.

It’s really an issue of the traffic design. For example, we tend to slap bike lanes just to the right of traffic lanes and hope it all works out fine. And it is fine…until intersections where cars might be turning…

It’s called a right-hook. Cars pass bicycles, then turn right immediately in front of them, causing the cyclist to hit the car. Quite a few cyclists have been killed this way.

Car brain drivers then blame the cyclist.

Yeah. Some of them are dumb. But all of them have been fed decades of bullshit “news” and are indoctrinated.

He knows better. It’s an act to make money. It’s all about the real god, Money.

Yeah they started putting ads on the dasher boards a few years ago. There are also ads digitally inserted on the ice.

The tech is pretty cool. When they first started doing it, it would sometimes cut off players, but they seemed to get it settled down within a few months.

I know the /r/hockey sub was really upset about it when it was first implemented, and I was annoyed at first because of the glitches. But now, it’s like…well, now I see these ads instead of those ads…what’s the difference?

and he’ll be equally crazy.

Equally? That seems optimistic. He’ll go even farther off the deep end. Even if he wins, he’ll contest it, because he clearly should have won by a larger margin.

Completely forgot to turn this on. Ovi got another one!

Oh, that was me. I installed it on my desktop Linux computer the other day.

You’re welcome.

My dentist has a setup where you can watch the dental work he’s doing on your mouth, assuming you don’t need glasses and can see the monitor in the corner.

I’m not sure why anyone would want that. But he has it.

Lol I’m working on a MAME emulator system and saw the roms for Altered Beast yesterday, and I wondered if I should bother, because I remember playing it some in the arcade. Sounds like I should skip it!

Someone tell my cats!

Had a busy morning and evening, so I decided to try to take a nap for an hour this afternoon. One of our cats laid down on my legs and turned into a warm puddle, albeit after a few minutes of demanding scratches.

Then one of other ones got into “poor, unloved kitty” mode, meowing loudly for no particular reason. I’m told the third one was also making noise, but I didn’t hear that.

Oh also can we take a moment to enjoy the fact that the Pens and Flyers are at the bottom of the metro?

Good start. Lol
