Yeah. That used to be the case in the US, but it’s illegal now.

IDK what OP is even going on about. This just seemed relevant.

I mean, I buy stuff off eBay a lot, and it’s often from small mom-and-pop shops. I needed new ribbon for my typewriter recently and ended up getting it from a store that just sells ink ribbons. They have an off-eBay presence too.

Used OKCupid from ~2008 to 2016. Maybe 10 or so 1-2 month relationships in that time. Plenty of first dates. Then met my wife. Married in '23.

I’ve heard it’s a fucking nightmare now though. OKCupid used to be all about the profiles and questions, but soon after we stopped using it, it turned into a Tinder clone with just photos. Add in a healthy dose of AI, and I’m sure it’s a very unpleasant time.

Can you eat starfish?

Had to do this recently and couldn’t believe it worked. https://lemmy.world/post/16160426

You tear down the wall, and there’s just another layer under it.

Retract the lead in a mechanical pencil and slide it over the pin to bend it back.

Is that the real smile? I know he was smiling, but I’ve seen other versions where it’s not nearly this pronounced. Did someone tweak it?

Your local thrift stores will have dozens of Christmas compilation albums for like $3 each.

I get what you’re going for, but the amount of energy stored in any mass going at orbital speed far outweighs the energy stored in its chemical makeup. A 1kg mass traveling 7.8km/s (LEO speed) has 30MJ of kinetic energy. By comparison, 1kg of TNT has 4.184MJ of chemical energy. So even if the Cybertruck was made out of TNT, the TNT would only account for about 13% of the total energy. Removing the batteries would significantly reduce the mass which would have a large impact on the “fireball,” but I don’t think that’s what you’re going for.

Maggots can be used to clean wounds as they can discern between living and dead tissue. Pretty fucking metal.

I’m a year into a 5 year purchase with name cheap. Their certs last a year by default.

I guess my certs expired. Here’s the comic:

Edit: Updated my certs. Really thought they’d send me a reminder or something…

Reminds me of one I did. https://stealmycomic.com/comic/2010-11-30/

Koreans don’t fuck around with these pies. They’re frequently smuggled into NK.

Sorry. Wasn’t precise. I believe the term was something along the lines of “ready to shave,” as in you could pull it out of the package and start shaving. Apparently that used to be the case, but one manufacturer started slacking so everyone else followed suit.

Very specific, but pre-sharpened straight razors (think Sweeny Todd) are not that. They’re still pretty sharp, but not sharp enough to shave with.

I had to boot my Windows 10 partition up yesterday. It made me click through fucking six ads for Microsoft 365 and win11 and then said “you’re done!” with a little cartoon of an athlete with a trophy as if just booting the OS was a challenge that I overcame.
