I heard they could turn off anything with a screen at bedtime, so you're better off reading before bed.

Not op, I have AMD Ryzen 7, but I haven't had the issue. I have all Windows bloatware un-installed or disabled, though.

Edit: I had one issue (one time, so I forgot about it), but I think it was a user error (me). I had to uninstall Linux because I either didn't update Windows or Linux (I think it was Linux), and their security systems were in conflict. Windows wouldn't even start until I used the BIOS to uninstall Linux. I had a backup, but a lost of little bit of data because I couldn't figure out how to make a new one. I reinstalled the updated version, and I didn't have any more issues.

They all look like me when I look at my reflection when I'm tripping balls

I've never had my laptop crash unless I was playing STALKER, GAMMA. What makes your laptop crash? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious.

Knives are getting cheaper. It's nice. I'd avoid the really cheap button locks. They tend to disengage. Assisted opening, liner lock flippers are dirt cheap but can get you in trouble. Vosteed, Civivi, Kershaw, Boker, Kizer, CRKT, etc... they all make good EDC's depending on your job and county. They are sub. $50, so you may have to make a return. Defects are more common. Check EVERYTHING. If you do have to make a return, pray to the customer service gods. Also, avoid stainless (unless you're diving) or brands that don't tell you the steel. Also, if EDC is in its name, it's probably a resell from alibaba.

I personally carry a liner lock, gas station flipper most of the time because I beat my knives to shit, working on the farm.

Also, if you want something from a highly reputable brand, the Spyderco Tennacious is $60 but goes on sale for 50% off all the time. I bought one from Walmart for $30.

There's also this: https://www.amazon.com/Spyderco-Persistence-C136GP-Plain-Knife/dp/B002IWWYS4

But it's stainless.

I just remembered my username

If the battle of Normandy hadn't happened, they would've done it. They tested it in Scotland on sheep, and it worked, but they couldn't contain it. A sheep got blown off shore, spreading the disease. That's not why they shut it down, though. They shut it down because the war was basically over.

"The testing of anthrax as an animal elimination method was done on Gruinard Island, just off the coast of Scotland.[7][1] The location was chosen because of its small size, only 520 total acres,[8] and its lack of inhabitants, along with there being a nearby military base at Loch Ewe that served as a staging area. Original tests on the effectiveness of anthrax were conducted on the island in 1940 and 1941 with the bacteria being included in a bomb, which was dropped on 60 sheep that had been shipped to the island. The bomb itself contained a thick slurry of concentrated anthrax spores and was dropped from a Vickers Wellington bomber. This test proved more effective than expected, with all the sheep dying in days, but also infecting a number of farm animals on the mainland months afterwards. It was determined later that one of the buried sheep carcasses had become unearthed due to a major storm and washed ashore. Other tests continued until 1943 when the risk of infecting nearby populations became too great and the island was quarantined from all boat and plane traffic.[9] Because of the widespread contamination from the anthrax spores, the land remained closed until 1990.[10]

Operation Vegetarian was ready for deployment by spring of 1944 and plans were drafted for the cakes to be dropped in the summer when German cattle would be grazing openly in the fields. In order to entice the cattle into eating the linseed cakes, they needed to be dropped after the spring grass had been consumed and the amount of food left was limited. The raid and airdrops needed to be done in a single action and as quickly as possible to prevent the German military discovering what was being dropped. Fildes estimated that a flight path through Oldenburg and Hanover could be achieved in 18 minutes and cover 60 miles of cattle grazing land. But by the time the summer arrived, the Normandy Invasion had occurred and Allied troops were advancing across northern Europe, causing Operation Vegetarian to be abandoned.[4]"

I accidentally turned mine into a sub:

It just depends. When it was 100°+ for sure. But I also have a second story that's contained from the rest of the barn, so I don't have to worry about bugs or rodents TOO much. If I didn't have that separate space, I'd probably invest in an AC. The lower floor is also a cement tablet that chills overnight. Sometimes, I'll keep the doors closed until the slab warms up. It all just depends. At night, even if it's hot, I lock up. We leave the windows open on the second story with fans at that point.

New fear

I do have to admit, I'm prepared for fires and earthquakes. Doomsday seems crazy, though. I have a bug out bag, etc... I'm not going to live under the preconceived notion that I'm going to survive a nuclear attack or race war that'll never happen. Pepper's get fucking insane. The number of people who start digging down without any understanding of structural integrity is insane aswell. Especially in places near fault lines. Building firebreaks, storing food and water, forming a microgrid if you live in an area where they might turn off the electricity, etc... those are all realistic and important. Also, fuck anti-maskers.

Nooooooooo

That's a good one!

Fair. But I'd argue they got rich by being cheap, somewhat . They'll come from privilege, but get cheap. I'm a little biased because I live in socal, but rich people like brag to poor people about how they went to a foreign country to get work done. It's supposed to encourage the "grind set." They could've gone here, but mexico or turkey is cheaper, regardless of personal safety or health standards. It's their version of "diversity," but they're just saving money at their own risk. If you NEED work done, go for it. But nah, there's a whole thing here going in socal. I'm not trying to talk about where I live too much, I just think socal is one of the most influential cultural epicenter of the world. Californication.

That shit was harrowing at the retirement home I worked at. I only worked during the day, so the worst thing I saw was falls. My fiancé's brother worked at night, though. The residents would get stir crazy at night. They'd try to "escape," and they'd be found laying in the nearby hospital's flower bead. This was in NON-assisted living. Trump definitely reminds me of those residents. They'd end up walking to the hospital because it was the only place they knew how to get to, but they didn't know why they were walking there. They just wanted to escape. A lot of them expected their old house/ kid's house.

It's what turned Joe Rogan and Elon Musk into potatoes.

It's common for rich men to take that or testosterone to recapture their youth. There's also a good chance they'll travel to turkey and get hair implants.

I've had a giant spider in my bathroom for months. Eventually, her little boyfriend moved in. They caught so many flies (I live in a barn). Sometimes, I'd walk in, and she'd have one in her mouth like a dog. I accidentally killed them diatomaceous earth recently because I was getting rid of ants. 🥲

The antenna missing reminds me of Venus de Milo. It's a surprisingly realistic art piece that's succumb to time. The details preserved are amazing!

Replace them with white flags.

No one will be fat in 2050 unless they're not on ozempic. Every dude will be taking growth hormones. People will work out in a small gym and only go outside when they want to show off their body at the beach or trail. At least, that's my prediction for Socal.
