Hand anyone (who knows how to use tools) a cordless drill

Tell them "do the thing"

Without fail, you will hear a quick "bzz-bzz" as they double-tap the trigger.

It's part of the unwritten rulebook of being human.

Someone who wants to make super sure that no dust gets into the discs, as even a single mote of dust in the drive will set off a chain reaction that destroys every universe simultaneously.

At least, according to my mother. She always insisted that floppy discs be stored like this since dust could settle in the tab if left the other way.

I miss BosnianBill, it always felt like my grandpa was sharing his hobby with me.

LPL and BB got me into picking locks, and so far it's saved a couple of massive personal headaches and one extremely expensive piece of industrial equipment (for which I recieved absolutely no recognition in saving the company about $450,000-550,000 in broken equipment)

It's also a fun quick thing to teach people and I have a spare set with me and an acrylic demonstration lock to show newbies.

I had fun at a park in south-western ohio once when I started picking all the padlocks couples were leaving on a bridge. I left about a dozen of them sitting on top of the railing.

Fun times, cheap hobby.

It's not a bad song.

It's just super different than the rest of the franchise.

Nothing is perfect, every show has its ill-fitting parts, enterprise just decided to make it the theme, instead of slapping it here and there in episodes.

I say let your freak flag fly. Fuck the haters. Enjoy your ~~^garbage^~~ intro song.

I mean, I personally wouldn't ask people to throw guns at him.

What's in the gun, however...

I bought some supplies from a local business recently...

Then I found out after unpacking that some of the components were made from supplies by Kaiser Aluminum, a company that assists in genocide via military contracts.

Unfortunately I can't return the things I've used, but I will be informing the owner that I won't be making any more purchases specifically due to their ordering things from KA.

Who would have thought that putting a man-child wannabe (for now) openly fascist dictator child rapist con man in charge and letting them shit all over every document meant to put them in check while the other elected officials cheer him on, picking fights with other nations for no reason other than to make himself look strong to the weakest of people, targeting minorities in state-sanctioned terrorist actions, and generally acting like the Nazi regime was a how-to guide would make us look slightly more negative than usual?

24 Karat Dubai Chocolate Labubu Benson Boone Crumbl cookie.

Oh god I feel so old.

I genuinely don't know if this is satire or something that actually exists.

Yes, I could do some light searching and find out, but I'd rather be old and mildly scared about changing trends.

I've seen a reference to "Labubu" several days in a row now. Honestly it reminds me of one of those dime-a-dozen 3d printing brand names.

I remember a friend of mine whining about how my text bubble was a different color and it "made it weird" to text because of that.

By then I was already super over the whole tribalistic iphone/android bs from people I know when it wasn't being meme'd on, so I just told her "you can either get over it, or we can stop talking and being friends"

Wouldn't you know it, the color of a text bubble isn't enough to end a friendship over.
