Karolina Protsenko, the famous young violinist, said she keeps her violin with her at all times ever since someone broke into her parents' SUV. Luckily they didn't take or damage her violin, but they did get away with multiple electronics and microphones and stuff.

You gotta hate thieves ๐Ÿ˜ก

That is why the letters are all in a funny order, but that's not why the keys were staggered. They were staggered because of the mechanical linkages underneath the keys, so the linkages could be made straight rather than having to bend around other keys in the way.

They'd have to find my archives first, absolutely none of them are on the frontend. I don't use the archive in any normal manner, and the links are effectively randomized so there's no chance of just guessing any of my links.

I've been doing it for years and they haven't pulled anything down yet.

Edit: Yes that's clearly an archived website and not a file to direct download, but that same if_ banner bypass trick works just the same for individual file downloads.

You can follow that link, it's perfectly safe, and rather funny no less. It links to the archive...

Note the if_ after the date/time code. That bypasses their banner. None of my links are anywhere on the frontend of the archive, you literally have to know every link to find my archives.

And most of my archives aren't even of websites, most of them are direct file downloads of older operating systems and games and stuff. Not like I'm about to share any of those here though.

I've been doing that for years and they haven't found or removed a single thing I've archived. If they ever do, well so be it, but none of it is on the frontend, and the links are so obscure that there's basically zero chance of anyone just randomly guessing them.

Funny you'd say that. If you manipulate the link and add if_ or fw_ after the date code, you can most certainly download files directly from the wayback machine.

As a former BMX flatland rider, I'm almost ambidextrous. Almost.

But if you ask me to write my name with my left hand, you'll get jibberish.

It probably won't make much difference on that end, but at least I didn't get the notification of your comment across all my devices, only the device I checked first.

Looking past the recent vegan drama, have you ever wondered why your pet might not like particular foods? Have you ever actually tasted the food yourself?

I have, and some taste more like a chemistry lab than actual nutrition.

 

Seriously, what the fuck is this?

 

Would you be confused? Would you be mad? Would you even care?

LOL, I'd never do this, but it seems harmless silly enough...

 

I've tried many things before, but in the past couple days I've found that eating a packet or two of mustard tends to get rid of hiccups.

What sort of tricks do you folks have?

 

I might say something like "Oof, gravity is kicking in, I gotta go have a seat..."

 

For context, there are two stray dogs at our local city park that we can't outright adopt, apartment rules say no pets, but we've been doing our best within our means to care for them at the park in the meantime.

I've actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.

Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.

What would you do?

That's actually my old hairbrush. I just pressure washed it, so it's totally clean. The faded ends of the bristles are because the brush itself is over 25 years old.

 

I'll start.. toilet paper, tampons, and QTips...

 

I dunno, English is a funny language isn't it ๐Ÿ˜‚
