I can’t remember if the show did it, but in The Expanse books poly relationships were part of Belter life, especially on smaller ships

I understand hating on Ohio. It’s mostly flat and pretty much flyover country.

On the other hand, Ohio is a perfectly cromulent place to live. It’s an even better place to be from

I just realized, that’s me.

I’m that friend

Making silly whispered comments about minor speaking errors or, barring that, puns. So many puns

Isn’t piece slang for cob?

…cultural differences…

Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis

ETA: this is mostly a dig at the depictions of teenagers in Neon Genesis specifically, and especially the unhealthy relationships between adults and children in that show

And then there was this girl who

Swore that one day she would be a figure skating champion

And when she finally made it

She

Saw

Some other girl who was better

And so she hired some guy to club her in the kneeeeecaaaaaps

Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

Imagine cleaning the splatter after all the corn boils and pops in there

Eeehhh, I don’t think worse is the right word. Less fidelity, yeah, but the sound is… warmer? I dunno, like I said, I’m not an audiophile, but I know our ears are analogue and all the things in nature that make me feel good have curves

Your mom, for instance

I’m no audiophile, but there is a difference in sound. To me it’s not enough to invest in the type of equipment that maximizes that difference, but it’s still there

Plus turntables have become another niche technological LEGO set, to customize and improve until the hole in your chest is filled

So i don’t know which lock you had, the comment I made above describes most of the consumer dial safe locks out there, but not all.

Yours may have been like what I mentioned, and the last number was 90 or something so people would dial it correctly, or it may have been a different design with drop gates where you dial all the numbers and stop on the last number. It may have been a start CW instead of CCW, there’s a few different designs.

Spinning it lots of times at the beginning never hurts, it clears the wheel packs. Thanks for having a sense of humor btw lol

Anyway, yeah, they can be overly complicated and a business should have a keypad safe and good insurance. The tech or manager or whoever that showed you how to unlock the safe was a dick for sure

They can take hours to dial every combination of an S&G lock. Cheaper locks are quicker. Most Sentry “safe” dials can be manipulated in minutes if you know what you’re doing, no dialer needed

These tools are also pretty expensive and difficult to source if you’re not in the industry

Turn the dial counterclockwise past your first number three times, stopping on it the fourth time. Dial clockwise to the second number three times, dial counterclockwise to the third number twice, turn the dial clockwise until you feel the bolt retract. The latch will engage at about 0 and the dial will turn no farther than 85, probably it will stop at 90. Turn the lock lever to open the door

Spent hours on that stupid safe.

Skill issue

an Alabama law that looks like its written to de-escalate an already escalated event

Which is probably why the case hasn’t already been dismissed over “qualified immunity”. They had no legal authority to be there without a court order, according to that law. They’re arguing they were there to “keep the peace”, but that’s a thin argument in the face of the law you mentioned.

Dude absolutely shouldn’t have been brandishing a gun at the repo man. That doesn’t justify summary execution by what can be described most charitably as a frightened, unqualified cop and most likely as someone looking to kill a dude. I hold little hope of justice being done, sadly

I wonder who it could be 🤔

Oh, and Swampy Barnett loved his mama

And he took a lot of pride in his work

He found 300 reasons why a plane couldn’t fly

And now he’s over his head in the dirt

Inflammable means flammable!? What a country!
