I'm already naked, now what?

If a right-wing Trump and left-wing Trump collide, do they annihilate each other like matter and antimatter?

Brain tumor, stroke, head injury, infection, thyroid problems, MS, and Alzheimer's or Huntington's diseases can all cause sudden personality changes. So can an emotionally traumatic event.

All the stuff you guys are saying about so the airbag doesn't go off when it's not supposed to doesn't make sense. That's the point of having weight and seat belt sensors.

I often carry tools and equipment in the front seat, enough to trigger the weight sensor and make it think there's someone sitting there. Or I'm transporting a dog or goat to the vet and I can't buckle them in, so the airbag would probably be worse than not.

A truck with a backseat is just lame man

a shitty single cab truck is just lame man

Unless you get an insanely big and expensive truck like an F-350, you can't buy a large cab truck that also has a full-size bed. Believe me, I've been looking for one.

My grandparents said I loved raw tomatoes when I was a little kid, but then something happened and I hated them for decades. But I'm gradually coming back around to where I tolerate them. I'm not about to pick one up and take a bite, but I'm OK now with tomatoes on my tacos or burgers.

Mushrooms just kind of give me the creeps. I'll eat them, but I feel weird doing it. Grilled marinated portobello mushrooms taste a lot like steak. And that's just not right.

I prefer to make my own.

Tomatoes
Onion
Jalapeos
Garlic
Cilantro
Lime juice

JC Denton: "How about a report on yourself?"

Morpheus: "I was a prototype for Echelon IV. My instructions are to amuse visitors with information about themselves."

JC Denton: "I don't see anything amusing about spying on people."

Morpheus: "Human beings feel pleasure when they are watched. I have recorded their smiles as I tell them who they are."

JC Denton: "Some people just don't understand the dangers of indiscriminate surveillance."

Morpheus: "The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms."

JC Denton: "Electronic surveillance hardly inspires reverence. Perhaps fear and obedience, but not reverence."

Morpheus: "God and the gods were apparitions of observation, judgment and punishment. Other sentiments towards them were secondary."

JC Denton: "No one will ever worship a software entity peering at them through a camera."

Morpheus: "The human organism always worships. First, it was the gods, then it was fame (the observation and judgment of others), next it will be self-aware systems you have built to realize truly omnipresent observation and judgment."

JC Denton: "You underestimate humankind's love of freedom."

Morpheus: "The individual desires judgment. Without that desire, the cohesion of groups is impossible, and so is civilization. The human being created civilization not because of a willingness but because of a need to be assimilated into higher orders of structure and meaning. God was a dream of good government. You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands."

Okay I've got a lot to say about this. Not a Trumpster.

People need to stop pretending Trump has some grand plan. He's a man who managed to bankrupt a casino. He has no idea what he is doing.

A tariff war is insanely stupid. Bush implemented tariffs on steel and had to pull it back when it immediately negatively impacted the economy. Trump is doing tariffs 10x what Bush did. Harley already announced they are moving jobs oversees as a direct response to the new tariffs, and they will be the first of many companies. Prices are going to go up and people will lose jobs.

The economy is great courtesy of Obama, but Trump seems determined to fuck it up. It's mind-boggling.

Canada/Europe/China are matching our tariffs dollar for dollar, and if they choose to, they have unique options they could implement that would really hit us hard (which I could go into if anyone cares).

Tl;dr: Trump is going to fuck up a strong economy because he is an idiot.

It's almost as if a foreign power is going to benefit from the chaos Trump is causing...

I'm naked all the time. I go outside naked every day. I'm even naked right now.

A minimum of 10,000 steps each day, though I usually do nearly twice that. Last month I walked over 600,000 steps, and yesterday I passed 500,000 for this month.

Do you like big butts?

Are you capable of lying?

I worked at Omaha Steaks for one day. I knew that their meat was overpriced frozen non-USDA graded junk, and they kept talking about it like it was the best thing ever. They wanted everyone to SELLSELLSELL!!! And you were required to push all kinds of extras and "specials", even if the customer said they didn't want anything else. And their pricing is complete BS; they offer the same packages in different magazines for different prices. I'm entirely too honest to shovel their manure and walked out before the first day of training was over.

If you want good steaks, try Costco. They've got USDA Prime ribeyes for about $12/lb.

I usually turn on both hot and cold taps. Water that is too hot will make you hurry so your hands won't get as clean, and water that's too cold won't dissolve oil or grease as well.

Forget about trying to kill bacteria with hot water, you'd end up with third-degree burns before any bacteria even broke a sweat.

"The most common side effects reported with vortioxetine are nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, constipation, vomiting, flatulence, dizziness, and sexual dysfunction."

Well, if you're vomiting, farting, and have simultaneous diarrhea and constipation, nobody is going to want to be around you anyway, so the whole sexual dysfunction thing isn't really a big problem.

A room in the Bay Area is gonna be over $1000 per month in rent.

Studio apartments (that's where living room, kitchen, dining room and bedroom are combined into a single room) start at around $2000 in San Jose.

Does my mare count?

A massage doesn't have to turn into sex.

But if it doesn't, you're doing it wrong.

The ladybugs around here BITE and they somehow manage to keep getting into my basement. Screw 'em.

Wow! It's like Speed 2, only with a bus instead of a boat.

If you want a fermented beverage that's good for you and tastes good, try kefir. It's kind of like a liquid yogurt, and is often sold in fruit flavors.

The thermometer says the interior is 140F, which is rare. I let it sit out for a few minutes to rest, and then began carving.

I wasn't really expecting much, since this is a bottom round, which is a pretty lean piece of meat. And it is indeed, very lean. The taste is alright, nothing at all off about it, but it is very dry and a bit tough. It probably would have done better as a pot roast or some kind of wet cooking method. Or a good long marinade.

But overall, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it.

Welp, it's thawed out and into the oven.

How terrible does it smell while cooking?

It actually smells pretty good so far, like a steak.

I was recently involved in the shut down of a bank branch. As the furniture guys were disassembling one of the loan officer's desk, they discovered the underside was absolutely covered in gum. Like thousands of pieces.

Kombucha = I made some tea but let it sit out for a couple days now it smells funny. Here, drink up!

MILF or GMILF?

I haven't watched Family Guy or the Simpsons in several years.

They've become like that grandparent who you used to really love but now has Alzheimer's and turned mean and you can't stand being around them and you just wish they'd die while they still have some dignity left.

Welp, it's thawed out and into the oven.

It's a bottom round beef roast, dated August 2009. It's frozen solid as a rock and has been for the past 9 years.

A lot of drugs are illegal because of bigotry.

At first I thought it was James Earl Jones or David Prowse.

It doesn't feel so elastic though when you have one of those dehydrated morning shits where it feels like a chunk of granite sliding out

So grab a bottle of lube and help it along.

They actually make stuff for exactly this. Glycerine suppositories. You just shove one right on up there, it melts after a few minutes and softens and lubricates things. It usually does the job in about 10-15 minutes, much faster and more predictable than laxatives.

The sphincter is highly elastic and unless your name is Mr. Hands, it'll return to normal in a few seconds.

Usually 20%, but I'll go higher if it's a place I eat at regularly.

There was one restaurant my SO and I ate at every weekend and we'd tip as much as 50%! The wait staff treated us like gods.

The only movie theater I ever go to is the Alamo Drafthouse. Instead of commercials before the movie, they show videos, cartoons and programs related to the movie. And you can order food, real food, and drinks during the film. Pizza, burgers, fish & chips, beer, wine and cocktails. And they have real popcorn with real butter, served in a bowl.

It's a bit more expensive than other theaters, but it's a much better experience.

Dale Gribble: So it turns out I'm not the actual Dale Gribble, but a clone of him. The original Dale Gribble is a super-warrior from the year 2087. The second me, i.e. I, was created to help the first me fight the invading Mongol armies.

Hank Hill: Dale, that's asinine, and here's four reasons why. First, you're not gonna clone a super-warrior out of a guy who can't even win a thumb-wrestling match. Two, you've spent your life swearing that the robots will eliminate the clones by the year 2010, so which is it, robots or clones? Three, you've already said you sympathize with the invading Mongolians of 2087, so you'd be the last one they'd send to fight them. And four, if you were from the future, you would have seen this coming. *punches Dale in the arm*

I keep getting bits of popcorn shell stuck under my gum line. And yet I still eat the damn popcorn!

I've never had lamb, but I've had mutton and it was awful.
