Sent this to my wife and we talked a bit about how I don’t like lights on.
I realized that even when I’m home alone at night (and not taking care so that she doesn’t wake up), I will use the flashlight/torch on my cell phone rather than turn on lights in the house.

Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes - I Hate You
It’s not crazy. You should get one every so often just in case. Better to find a small problem now than a big problem later.
I’m more shocked that you could buy the house without an inspection. My bank required one to give me a loan.
Running an absolutely ancient kernel.
I probably used a bad example. I like his comedy, but you hear it and it’s immediately dates itself. It’s the same when you see a old 70s Friar’s Club roast vs a Comedy Central one. The jokes are still funny but trying to take that sensibility and make relevant today would be difficult.
I would kill a significant number of people. Honestly. It’s terrible, but that’s what I’d do.
I would need to plan out in what area would be the best place to do it to maximize effectiveness. Probably start in DC and work my way from there.
The thing about Seinfeld and other comedians who aren’t as popular anymore is that they blame the audience for not liking their material. Tastes change over time. The comedian either needs to change their act or live with the consequences that people aren’t going to like their material as much.
Rodney Dangerfield was a great comic for his time. If someone tried to tell the same jokes today, I don’t think he’d get very far. That’s not the fault of the audience. It’s the fault of the comedian. No one owes you a laugh.
Columbus is kind of known for not being known for anything.
I’ve lived here for a little over 15 years and various places in Ohio for every bit of my 40 years. There are things to like about it (low cost of living compared to the rest of the country, 4 seasons of weather) and things to not like about it (really, too many people for me – I’m from a rural area, and local and state government are not great). I like that it’s kind of a generic Midwestern town. Plenty of sports to watch if you like that kind of thing.
I think it’s underrated. People are moving here like crazy, so maybe they agree, but it’s causing rents to get out of control. I feel bad for those moving here. It’s a lot less affordable than when I came in 15 years ago.
World HQ is in Columbus, OH. Represent!
Yes.
It all makes sense when you realize that a good number of them feel that Palestinians are not people.
Yeah I’m wrong. Thanks for the correction.
You have to be A- or O- to do power red.
My understanding is that being nearsighted is a relatively new phenomenon that is largely due to being indoors a lot. Farsightedness in old age has been around since humans have been humans.
I took a quick look and Wikipedia partially bears this out re: nearsightedness.
I’m O- so I give two units of red cells and get saline and the plasma/antibodies back. The guy at the donation site says “make sure you don’t drink any alcoholic beverages for 24 hours…but you can have one if you want.” He looks back to see if his manager is around and then whispers “you can have two but don’t leave the house.”
On the internet, everyone is American.
I felt this way at one time when I was younger. Now I don’t give a shit what people want to do with their own bodies.
Every year is an amazing year for rich people.
Taco Bell most likely.
