Reply to Tired of matching up socks? Throw them all away. Start new, buying one and only one type of sock. Order in bulk! by twovests
I did this when I was in my utilitarian era and it was really nice when I was in a hurry. Eventually though I got tired of having one boring type of sock and picked up some cute ones for a special occasion. 6 months later and I’m back to sock sorting as a chore. C’est la vie.

Reply to comment by twovests in Windows is the most trusted operating system in the world. Why not use it for your servers? by twovests
I was being goofy.
It’s really hard to estimate with any precision, but there is roughly an order of magnitude more windows desktops than there are servers and routers combined. If you use “trusted” to mean “relied on for” (even if the people doing so feel they shouldn’t be), then I think by the numbers windows is “trusted” more than any non-mobile platform.
But my original comment was still wrong because of mobile, which would make android the most “trusted” OS.
oh well lol

I think you may be technically correct…… the best kind of correct.
Edit: so long as we don’t include mobile OSes?

A psychedelic will be impregnated into the very plastic of the cart; after sucking on it for a few seconds you play the game and taste and smell-o-vision according to cues from gameplay.

I’d recommend leaving it alone then. But the shepherd is always welcome to speak up for themself!

Reply to "A hoo hee, what do I see? A sale on cottage cheese, this is perfect for me!" Just one of the little things you can say at the grocery store when in earshot of someone by twovests
I want this. I want to get a group of people, say half a dozen or so, to all do this. Same time, but arrive separately and have different shopping lists etc., but lots of nursery rhyme type stuff. Preferably during an off time in a small store with only a few other shoppers.
Refuse to admit knowing each other or to acknowledging anything out of the ordinary. Once you’ve checked out, scamper/skip/interpretive dance your way out of the store and down the street.
I want to be the weird story someone tells their grandkids about 40 years from now. Let’s bring some whimsy to the world.

I love older game systems; I enjoyed more of the games and now that they are decades out date you can emulate them on just about anything.
And so many good games! My favorite lesser known ps1 game is probably Devil’s Dice, but there are near so many good ones to choose from…

Pure prejudice. shakes head
Personally, I see an unmarked van around, I like to walk up to it and offer the driver candy. Seems only fair they get free candy too!

Could this be a more cohesive post if I studied poetry?
I don’t think so, no. It was beautiful just the way it is

Reply to comment by Alessia in What do you think it means to say you're "good at cooking"? by flabberghaster
Once your recipes are in grams a scale can take your baking up an entire level. It also (as twovests points out) just makes it easier.
I usually cook meals without ever touch my scale. I can do things like bake bread by feel, but not by choice.

So he’s reaching out to a pro asking for free services? There are words for that 🙄.
Of course, thinking women sit around eagerly waiting for the chance to serve them is on brand for MAGAts too.

Reply to Suggestions to get rid of pent up aggression/energy/frustration? by nomorepie
Are you hungry or thirsty? Either of these can make your physiology ramp up.
Other than that, I’d recommend to go towards the extremes. Either work yourself tired or meditate until you are still. If you tend to get a lot of exercise normally I would start with meditation, if not get up and move.
