Drugs: Never mentioned. There were anti-drug ads on TV 24/7.

Sex: Never mentioned. Well, by the time they got around to having “the talk” we asked them if they needed to know anything. Mom laughed, dad looked embarrassed, and that was that.

Etiquette expects that when you do a nice thing for someone you gain nothing more than a “Thank you” in return.

You can’t do “Pay-it-forward” as that places a burden on the recipient and your ‘gift given freely’ then becomes a task to them. Which is no gift at all!

We’re talking about glue not craft paste. One can be launched across the room at an unsuspecting teacher, the other taste fantastic.

CRAB!

My hubs loves them so I get to sit across the table and listen as he brutally cracks open his food.

You know what they do with the legs, yeah?

This should go down well in the upcoming debate!

If your parents are struggling to make ends meet at 77 then continue pressing the point and let them know why.

If they’re not let to go.

You’re good with tech and know they can save some money. If they don’t care about tech, and aren’t hurting for money, you’re just being annoying.

Had the same convo with my mom. That’s where the annoying line came from! She likes what she has and can afford it.

Now my sister ima boot in the head because she cancelled my mom’s landline for a cheaper cell plan. So now, oh…about 80% of the time I try to call mom her phone rings right into voicemail because she forgot to plug it in!

I wish more people would realize this! We’re years away from a truly reasoning computer.

Right now it’s all mimicry. Mimicry that hallucinates no less…

Nuke it from orbit! It’s they only way to be sure

 

Good morning everybody! I have a cheap 4-port USB-A hub connected to my Mac Studio, and after many issues where my computer won't wake up and then won't find the external boot drive, I've figured out that it's the USB hub!

Since it's USB-A it need not be fancy, or powered, etc., I just need it to not crash my computer. What do you use? Do you have any issues? Would you "recommend it to a friend"?

Thank in advance!
