Farewell

The “under 60” sticker is sending me.

Lived in three, visited four, plus a territory (I don’t count driving through New Brunswick). 8/13.

Oh no, oh no no no no. What body part is Ford gonna tell Trump to kiss this time?

Because rabbits used to be omnivores, their digestive systems aren’t really well adapted to their current grass-heavy diet. To absorb all the nutrients they need, they have two kinds of poop: the dry pellets you might see in a rabbit pen, and the soft stuff that they poop directly into their mouths.

What gif pops up when you type your name?

We saw it with Biden, and we can see it again here, the dems aren't really interested in being trade partners with Canada any either. They mostly won't be as rude about it as Trump, but I think the idea that the tariffs end when Trump's presidency does is wishful thinking.

Cloistered man has to find something new to do after losing his job.

So anyways now that we're here, might as well look at how we got here.

The thread was going well until we hit this post and it went off the rails. No one is drinking that shit, and we all think he’s a MAGA traitor.

This is literally a full work week of homework (technically a touch more at ~42 hours). Also, many of these also require homework, so add another ~66 hours of supplemental homework to the assigned homework. Or spend that time doing literally anything else.

Bought a mini PC that was supposed to come with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB NVMe drive. It wouldn't post, so after some troubleshooting I popped it open and... it's been stripped. Guessing this unit was previously purchased, stripped, and returned. It's getting desperate out there.

A) are you expected to fully remove your pants and hang them on a hook out of frame? B) why does there appear to be two seats, and why does the top one appear too long and hinged too low to sit flat when lowered? C) you don’t ride a horse that is sitting.

There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...

My wife, trying to avoid explaining why her mom and her dad's second wife don't like to spend time together to our daughter: It's a long a story. Our daughter: I *love* long stories.

My wife got an IUD after our first child and after seeing how much pain it caused I resolved to get a vasectomy after our second. I got the snip on Tuesday.

My wife was in her second trimester when the lockdowns started here. We only found out I could be present for the birth the week of. The pandemic took everything that made our walkable neighbourhood great, and WFH with a newborn in the next room with no activities or distraction sucked for everyone.

His national profile seems to have juiced his royalties by 25%, but frankly his $1267 in royalties from 2024 is way more than I would have expected.

Stand back everyone, we’re watching a true master - the man who literally wrote the book The Art of the Deal - work his magic. Let’s see what masterful gambit he’s using now…

That the Easter bunny brings candy to our house that’s literally illegal in the US makes me wonder: is the Easter bunny a franchise operation?

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵
