My wife has been selling handmade crocheted stuff on Etsy for a while and I am constantly catching her going through listings and getting infuriated about designs that look awesome in the photos but are unrealistic or impossible in execution, and yet people keep buying them

I’m just old enough to have been a smoker while it didn’t carry quite the same stigma that it does today. I remember using these machines in hotel lobbies and gas stations, and they were always so bad. It’s bad enough as it is but these were on another level of bad in every dimension. Dry, dusty, probably fully decayed in parts, probably peed on a few times and left out in the sun/rain to dry/rinse. My parents didn’t really care that I was a smoker, but I can’t imagine my reaction if my kid started smoking and buying dead cigarette packs from motels. I am glad these things are gone.

Yeah, this is it! I remember finding this exact post on my way to figuring out what I was going to do about the loss of using my dominant hand. Good memory.

That is very cool. I had an accident several years ago where I had a stuck chain on a DIY electric bike motor, and I was trying to yank the chain out from between the frame of the bike and the front chainring where it had gotten stuck, and the motor engaged and took my hand around the spindle of the motor and just about pulled my right ring finger off my hand entirely. I spent that summer with a pin in my ring finger and attached to my pinky finger with a splint, and I had to learn how to type again because I’m a programmer. I ended up using Karabiner Elements with a script that would map the keys on the right side of the keyboard to the left side of the keyboard while pressing down a certain key. I ended up using a USB foot switch to put it into this mode that would let me type everything with my left hand, and when I push down on the foot switch, it would essentially turn my left hand into my right hand and that worked pretty well, but I never, ever want to do it again. Good luck with your arm this summer!

Augh no you’re not supposed to tread on me! Tread on them!

Let’s see, who should I believe?

1. The worst person possible who has never told the straight truth about anything
2. Any selection from the set of all nouns excluding the one mentioned in #1

I suppose he will end up being remembered as both. He is gonna be in a lot of awful chapters in history books.

The real art of the deal is that there is no deal until he decides that there is one. When that happens, the deal springs instantly into existence under whatever terms he wants (strongly/powerfully/etc.) and you are immediately in breach.

I am the proud father of two boys who each got their own Corn Man shirts for Christmas. The older one has the 90’s “enhanced” version, and the younger one has the old “regular” version.

Be not afraid! Ahahahahahahaha!

I will continue to globally not use Office 365 again for another year. Easy.

I’m reading the 4th Maze Runner book to my boys right now. There’s an extragovernmental organization called WICKED that took advantage of some huge solar flares that caused tremendous worldwide damage. So I’m kind of hoping that there won’t be any huge solar flares that can be taken advantage of.

mrcranky.com was a pretty good early message board that is utterly gone now. I’ve barely even thought about it for like 20 years, but it was fun while it lasted.

There are ten thousand teams at Microsoft making Teams worse.
