I suppose I don’t see it as a nice thing to do if it’s completely pointless. Not that I’m against it, I’m just a little confused by it.

Honestly, I don’t think so. Unless I’m going somewhere where water will be unavailable for several hours, but then I’ll just stop and get some.

What is the point giving free water to neighbor kids or people walking their dogs? They, by definition, have homes within walking distance with their own unlimited water supply.

I wonder if it’s just me or if other people who were around before Ubuntu feel the same way but the reason I hate Ubuntu is that it seemed to take over the Linux world.

A lot of the information about how to do something in Linux was drowned out by how to do it in Ubuntu. When searching for information you have to scroll down in the search results for something that sounds unrelated to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu material was often titled “how to do it in Linux” and you thought you had a good long tutorial until you read a few paragraphs in and realized it was for Ubuntu and wouldn’t work for you for whatever reason.

Even some software that says it’s available on Windows and Linux just means they have a Ubuntu package and if you’re really good there’s a chance you might be able to figure out how to use it on a non Ubuntu system.

It’s like when Ubuntu came out, people just assumed that Linux was Ubuntu. I’ve never used Ubuntu so a lot of the information I’ve came across regarding it has just been in the way of me finding useful information.

Yep. And I just found out that this preacher delivered his message on June 29. That’s the Sabbath, so we’re stoning that fucker first

Why single out gays? It also says to kill adulterers, stubborn children, women who aren’t virgins when they marry, people who work on the Sabbath, and mediums who talk to the dead.

When Paltrow was selling those candles that smelled like her vagina, I bought one. It smelled like ass. Turns out I had it upside down.

I weigh about 160lbs. I wore them every day and I’m on my feet all day long and they got wet a lot. They didn’t fall apart, they just looked like crap and hardened and probably stank

I’ve worn a couple pairs of those same Ryno boots. They’re actually quite comfortable. I think I still have a pair. Mine last about 8 months or so

Jesus that’s funny

I wouldn’t know. I just passed the mensa test because I’ve always been good with tests, but I don’t think I’m smarter than anybody in terms of brain horsepower.

However, I’m curious about how things work and retain information like crazy. I’ve come to realize not everybody does that. Some people think I’m really smart but it’s more like I have experience or interest that they don’t have in the thing they think I’m smart at.

I joined 20 years ago out of curiousity if I could pass. I did and paid for a membership for a year because why not, but i never did anything with it and never renewed it.

The one thing I might have liked is the local meetings. Our local chapter had a website where they talked about the meetings. They were informal, just dinner and chatting in a private room at a restaurant, and you could learn a little about the people from the website too. It seemed to be heavy on scientists and engineers. This is near a national labratory so that made sense. I would have liked to have more friends like that, still would. But, for all I know, mensa scientists and engineers might be the worst scientists and engineers. They also appeared to be mostly over 60 and I was 20 at the time.

There are discounts on certain things according to their website https://www.us.mensa.org/shop/benefits-and-services/

I never would have thought it possible that a person could be so full of themselves to say something like that

I’ve always been curious how the money gets to the charity. Does the corporation put the donations into an account and collect interest on it before they give it to the charity?

They’re only doing this for one day, and only for 3 hours. MAGA signed up for 8 years of their shit.

Free 3D printing filament

It’s fun to watch two people competing in the marketplace of ideas

It’s getting ready to be lifted like this: https://www.123rf.com/photo_135982015_paper-mill-production-of-paper-rolls-for-the-printing-industry-paper-rolls-in-a-factory.html

The one thing that bothers me is the lack of chocks to keep it from rolling, but we can’t really see in the black area, they could be there, or the floor could have an indentation or something

That’s how they make paper and a lot of other flat goods like tape. The manufacturer makes these gigantic rolls then there’s this entire industry called converting where a company, a converter, takes it and process it down into a finished product. They may add adhesives, lamination or printing to it during the process.

You can go to a store and buy 3M tape but 3M doesn’t actually make it like that. They make a 12ft wide, 10,000 ft roll that someone buys and forklifts into a machine that cuts it into a bunch of smaller rolls that you can buy
