FBI And CIA are initialisms not acronyms

My grocery bulk bins put the nooch right next to the chicken bouillon powder, as far as I’m concerned they want me to do it.

I used to have some when I was a kid but they stopped at some point, now nothing unless you count tinnitus.

I’d see little dots of light racing around on busy designs such as a Persian rug. Occasionally I’d get this thing where time would seem to slow down for a moment and every sound would seem like booming explosions.

Krafton a single

People gotta be doing this on purpose

I wasn’t even consciously aware I felt this exact way until I read this comment, living in a shitbox where it rains 160 days of the year will do a number on you

Square rig sailors have a whole lexicon of unique terms of art and slang not used outside of that niche and I always thought this was one of those, I’ve only heard other tallship sailors say it. TIL

I almost never use a fork for anything, spoon for sure. 95% of foods I eat with spoon, chopsticks, or hand.

A back alley fireworks maker I guess

Nothing much, my wife and I don’t really care about the holiday. We might pull some wild duck out of the freezer for a nice dinner

When zeroed at 50 yds the lower dot is supposed to be 500

At 100 yards I believe you should expect to be hitting slightly above the center dot

I made a seine twine monkey’s fist for my keys

My work has taken me to over 50 other countries and I’ve seen many amazing sights but I have to say the Grand Canyon in the US is the first thing that comes to mind.

The other was a very specific time and place; I was sailing an 18th century tall ship far off shore in the dead of night, no lights or engine noise. You could see so many stars along with the most intense meteor shower I’ve ever seen. Streaks in the sky every couple seconds, some so bright they lit the sky like a flash of lightning and left a green streak behind. The water was full of bioluminescence and we were being accompanied by dolphins playing in our bow wake that were also leaving trails of light in the water.

There are these particularly annoying flies that I encountered in Florida. When they land you can blow on them which will cause them to hunker down and brace against the wind leaving them vulnerable to a swat

To be proportional to undocumented immigrants in the us it would only be like 40 people

I’d never looked at mine before now, apparently I’ve been banned from a couple communities for being an “anti-ai troll”, presumably for downvoting something at some point.

Yeah, there are 32 named points on a compass, one every 11.25 degrees, you can even fractionalize it to get even more granular

Southwest by west half west for example is 242 degrees

Yeah, I don’t know what it is about my storage conditions but we have no trouble keeping our garlic and squash well into spring. As for getting through it all, we love garlic and 99% of our meals are home cooked.

A well known porn set

Yeah, it’s not really worth it unless you’re doing a lot imo. I just put in about 200 that I don’t expect to harvest until summer.

Back when I worked on a school boat we had a German kid in to cruise ship spotting. Every time we encountered a cruise ship he’d run to the chart house with his special notebook and write down all the AIS info and whatnot. We regularly saw what were in my opinion way cooler boats like tallships and navy warships but he didn’t care about anything else.
