Didn't Kathy Griffin pretty much do the same thing only with many more times the consequences?

I prefer it to real spam. Way less greasy with more flavors

Dear hackers,

I want to know how to hack. I will pay you. I am the best hacker.

Thank you, Xx_hackerman_xX

PS: What is hacking?

The rules for magic and the rules of existence in most fictional universes are significantly more defined (and, arguably, more solid) than the rules for science and existence in this world.

Even the brush off of "Its magic. I don't have to explain it," at least indicates that SOMEONE understands the effect and its relative existence.

If you find 5 people who say that they fully understand a single branch of science then I'd bet all of my money in my pocket that you found them in a padded recovery room sans shoe laces.

Can the current president hunt the former president for sport now?

We may not have seen his encounter with the "future Federation" reminding him of the "temporal prime directive"

That said, can you remember your work mates from half of a life ago?

Human memory is good, but a life of adventure and an over abundance of scotch can give one "Swiss cheese memory" ala quantum leap

I lived in both 'French Canada', and France at one point in my life.

In my experience, they all consider themselves the best thing France ever made and the other side are the equivalent of "rednecks"

To be fair, they both can be right.

Gamers are the true indigenous people.

We were typing in games printed in magazines and hand written from friends.

Dr Who

Before I watched the "New Who" episodes on the stern recommendation of an obsessed girl friend, I was extremely reluctant.

I just saw more and more friends and aquatences go into watching the series, normal as one can be.

Them, they watched the series on Netflix.

It changed them, giving them an almost unhealthy level obsessed obsession with the show.

I too had the same change, but on a much less level than some.

It's challenging to cook when one lives alone. I came up with a frozen buffet system.

I make several main dishes, several side dishes, and several desserts. Subsequently, I divide the foods into portions that I would normally eat, then I freeze.

That way I can grab 2 or 3 items, microwave, and eat whenever I'm hungry.

Doing this, I only need to cook once or twice every shopping cycle.

 

I'm physically disabled and have issue shopping due to bone tumors all over my bones (poly ostotic fibrous dysplasia with mccune albright syndrome). It hurts to live, walk, lift, exist, etc.

I'm also on what is essentially a keto diet to help keep my diabetes in the "pre-diabetes" state.

I use Instacart to help me survive and eat. It helps me not burden others and helps my independence.

Groceries are becoming more and more expensive. This is particularly true if you're on a special diet like me.

Delivering five or so bags of groceries or a few larger (but essential) items can be like $150-200 on Instacart per trip. Then, when I check out, Instacart recommends tipping $40+?

That seems insane to me. Like $20 for that amount seems about right? Maybe throw in an extra $10 if I have some heavy things or items that are large in volume.

Should I be tipping $40+ dollars?
