  1. I keep getting calls telling me that my loan has been approved for up to $40,000, but they just need a little more information. I have been letting them go to voicemail and deleting them there, but I answered one yesterday. (I was expecting a call from a medical number that isn't in my contacts.) It wasn't a live person, just the same recording that they leave on the voicemail telling you the number to call back and finish getting scammed, I mean getting your totally legitimate loan. I guess that if you call back they can argue that it's not a scam if you took positive action to contact them. My parents are both gone now, so I guess that I just have to worry about my wife and me. I'm pretty confident that I'll recognize scammers, but my wife? Well, I'll just say that I'm concerned.
  2. R. Lee Ermy - "Well. No shit."
  3. Today I learned that the Vandy whistler is likely from India. Man, that sucks. When the mountains do a mass wasting event, the don't fuck around.
  4. Come on, now. According to sheeeit, you're ignoring the positive aspects. You know, fewer of "them".
  5. Do not dispose of the paint in liquid form. Open the lid and allow the paint to dry thoroughly, then dispose of it. @tbone_ is correct. This is to keep paint out of waterways and groundwater. Most modern paints are low VOC, so they do not pollute the air as much, either.
  6. My dad raised me to never eat seafood more than two hours drive from saltwater. That rule has served me well all the days of my life. First and last time I ate at a Longjohn Silver's my mom wanted to try it on a trip into Houston for supplies for her craft shop. The floor was so greasy that we could barely stay upright. We stayed and tried it anyway and found that the slick floor was the highlight of the experience.
  7. Where's the wooden spoon? Or ping pong paddle?
  8. "It is wrong to starve people and shoot them when they gather to get food." "It's ok because Hamas. They should all die because you can't prove that they're not Hamas." Good God! Supporting genocide "because Hamas". Soulless ghouls.
  9. I think the guy on the left is @RamjetFDO.
  10. I hope that whoever invented summer sausage lived a long, healthy, happy life and is enjoying a special place right now.
  11. If DMO uses words with three or more syllables his speech pattern is too complex for about 98% of aggy.
  12. Obligatory "My dad says butane is a bastard gas."
  13. Is it the one that went off? Maybe? This puzzles me. Grenades have to have the initiating mechanism in place to go off. Screw out the initiating mechanism and it takes a lot to set off the filler. Surely explosives experts would have removed the initiators before moving them. I guess that if the grenade was very old and the filler was degraded it might be more sensitive and easier to set off, but it sounds to me like someone was playing around and got Darwined. CSB: My reserve unit went to MCAGCC 29 Palms for live fire training. The night before we returned, the entire battalion had a complete dump everything on the rack gear inspection to ensure that no one took home any C4, live ammo, or other dangerous souvenirs. One Marine in my company had two live smoke grenades and one high explosive hand grenade in his sea bag. He had another HE grenade in his ALICE pack. A Marine in another company had three 40mm grenades, one of which was white phosphorus, in his sea bag. Explosions and the explosives that cause them make people stupid.
  14. They're trying to be as shitty as the cops at Uvalde. Failing, but trying really hard.
  15. I thought that Shrek was green.
  16. It's like the sign at the door of the funeral home said, remains to be seen.
  17. Having similar unresolved issues myself, I have nothing but sympathy for your friend. I am, however, stealing "wonky dong pills". Brilliant!
  18. Damn. Sorry to hear that, nnm. I hope that you have a smooth, rapid, and complete recovery.
  19. Where else could they store it? They have to stay true to the film.
  20. She drives with files covering the instrument panel so she can't see the fuel gauge or any of the other instruments? Is that what I'm reading? If so, why would you let your kids ride with her? How much insurance do you... Oh. Never mind.
  21. Texas Fight makes it sound like the tsunami sirens in the PNW are useless. I guess when I visit the Oregon coast, if there's a tsunami I'm fucked whether or not the siren sounds and I can get uphill.
  22. And reading that article without knowing the layout of the equipment, how does someone inside the machine inadvertently activate the machine? Either some safety gear was disabled/not used, safety procedures were bypassed, or someone outside the machine turned it on. Probably a bit of one and a bit of another, or all three. Lock Out/Tag Out is more than just a good idea.
  23. Not on your life. I know that the product that I have was produced before this incident, but the boo boo jeebies are too strong. I ain't eating that.
