There’s the whole thing where the first few joints of your fingers and toes turn black and rot off, but sure, eat some ergot.

Also, Datura is a common weed. Collect a bunch of seeds and share with your friends so y’all can all trip for days and not even know it. The kidney failure can kind of suck.

It’s f’in neato. I’ll be looking into it.

I knew about the relict popularion of mammoths that was still around. Wasn’t aware of the tigers. Can you please tell me more?

Wait, is there a new worms game for real? The best couch multiplayer, dog cuss your friends and family game ever.

Trepanning is back, baby! NSFL warning. Dude has his friends help him dremel a hole in his skull so he can like totally open his third eye or release the demon chakras or whatever.

Can’t find it, but there was an interview where someone talked about poking their meninges with a metal rod and having a ‘spiritual experience’ or something. Also, bong rips feeling bubbly in the skull hole.

It’s an old saying, longer version I know is:

“Saddest thing in the world is a cat scratching at the window because it used to be an inside cat.”

Lead shot for waterfowl hunting has been banned in the US for a few decades. It’s still used for upland bird hunting. I think it’s still frequently used illegally for waterfowl.

Not an expert, but have a decent layman’s understanding. Could totally be wrong about the next part:

It’s my understanding that lead contamination of wild animals through hunting primarily occurs due to various sizes of bird shot. The greater surface area allows a much higher level of contamination. It also forms lead dust in the shell from friction and when fired. It’s also easier for animals to eat it. Rifle rounds and slugs are fairly inert as the larger size prevents most consumption and less absorption when it is consumed.

My guess is that migratory waterfowl eat lead shot when ‘grazing’ the bottom of wetlands. This bio-concentrates the lead in eagles when they prey on ducks and such.

Is that a baby sloth?

I’m not the sort that gushes all the time about baby animals, but that is like the cutest little thing ever. I want to squish it and pet it.

That’s unholy and should be cleansed with fire and chanting.

It would require Von Neumann machines to do it. Of, course, we could end up being turned into grey goo with that sort of tech.

But, yeah, simply invent self-replicating nanotech. Shoot it at the moon, Mars, Ceres. Viola, data centers in space. Use the same tech to clean up the enviroment and eliminate oil dependence. Might as well rebuld the coral reefs and old growth forests. Also cures cancer and the common cold. And is the fountain of youth. And we all live happily ever after in the computer.

I often code directly on the machine control, including single blocking a running program and adding a line while the program is paused.

Editor on older CNC machines usually doesn’t even do lowercase and often has limited alphabet keys. Think '80s green or amber screen.

A machinist’s coding workflow can be real fucky. I go from CAM which is like a highly complex visual programming IDE to notepad. If I’m being fancy I use notepad++ for syntax highlights and diff’ing.

Got tired of paying high prices on razor blades, using disposables was wasteful, and the exponentially increasing number of blades wouldn’t get under my nose.

Switched to an old school Gillette Tech safety. Switched to Barbasol instead of the thicker stuff. Shaves better, cheaper, just as fast. No stupid rituals required. No shaving soap, mug, bristle brush or horseshit required. (I do recommend starting with one of the combo packs of razors to find the one you like).

I even shave my balls with it.

My son has his own tech, and has never tried any of the goofy ‘modern’ crap.

This was a solved problem nearly 100 years ago. Funny how marketing works.

Not who you were responding to.

I’ve given up. I don’t have it in me anymore to keep trying. Never was able to get anyone back to reality after they went deep into it. Friends and family. It’s a terrible damn problem. Basically a big chunk of society needs to be deprogrammed and I haven’t seen anything that will do the trick.

Not that I’m in any way disparaging your efforts. Good luck and god speed. Maybe you’ll find some sort of magic that will flip the switch. You’d be a motherfucking hero, no irony.

There’s the Perjury Trailer Queen we all love to hate.

That tasty gif never gets old.

Boom! Knocked the fuck out.

I mean, twenty gigs was more than anyone would ever be able to use.

Captain!

This sailor probably enjoyed your hospitality back in the day.

Thank you much!

That wasn’t SOAD? What about the Metallica Imperial Stormtrooper march?

Luuuv it. That’s a wall hanger.
