In Chinese, you need a cow if you want count articles of clothing.

Spoiler

件, the measure word for clothing, e.g. "one sweater" is "一毛衣" or "two shirts" is "两衬衫“

牛, the right half of 件, is a moo moo cow

If you think about it, cows are necessary for more things than the public realizes. Coward, more cowbell, cowl (no batman), coworker (lonely all day), I'm sure there are more but it's 8pm here and I'm a little drunk.

Just to clarify, go back to being a 6 YO in 1980? Or stay in 2024 and be 6 years old?

If it's the first, the red pill ALL. THE. WAY.

 

Perhaps you've considered this, but you're likely also trading your wife, and definitely trading your kids in that scenario.

negative. You can still meet your wife at the same exact time and place and know exactly what to say. You can still fuck at the exact time to have the exact same kid. 

You would just be a billionaire instead of poor

Hmmm. Yup, let’s take that red pill and I’d marry someone who isn’t so serious all the time.

 I’m sure the kids will be just fine with their au pair and at boarding school.

And a slight tangent to the renovation post above. The renovation went smoothly. My complaints on the finished product was the floors were higher than original so I need a different threshold; and I didn’t like where he put the towel ring…

But I gotta tell you. If you’re a contractor, doesn’t matter how great you’re doing during construction, you need to finish STRONG.

He insisted he didn’t need a dumpster after the demo work was done, and he’d just use my regular trash can. It worked okay until he left me 6 bags of trash - mainly packaging, styrofoam and the floor protection paper. I’m driving out to a landfill in a few minutes to get rid of all of it

Are the mirrors LED?

We’re redoing our bathroom this summer. Ripping out the 6ft jetted tub and replacing with a walk-in shower. Turning current shower (28”x28”, small church) into a linen closet. 
 

Ripping out the double vanity, and going with 2 independent, with a floor to ceiling cabinet in between.

Been looking at mirror options, and wanting to do something like yours, but more narrow and taller.

Looks awesome. We’re re-doing two guest baths as we speak. I don’t know if I have before pics. I’ll try to put that together when it’s all done.

Yes they’re LED mirrors. I found them on Amazon. They have all sort of sizes. What’s cool now is most of them can change colors from warm to stark white.

its mildly amusing to me that british people want to get personalized license plates, but are not allowed to, so theres a big secondary market to re-sell license plates that is vaguely similar to what people might want.

so someone named Gary will pay lots of money for a plate that read "1AM 6ARY"

Why does it bother people so fucking much when people decorate for Christmas?

Some people want to enjoy it for more than a month.

We leave our lights up through Chinese New Year instead.

Go late rather than start early.

Why do comedians talk about themselves as if theyre a special breed of people (perhaps more than any profession), and why are the people they insist as “a comedian’s comedian” almost never funny?  

Well, here's Tina Friml, who literally is a Special breed of person, making fun of just that.

Current favorite comedian, btw.

Hey, Indians- here’s some pumpkin pie!  And smallpox. 

I try not to think about that. But instead focus on delicious food, football, nice weather, and 4-5 days off without having to stress about buying presents.

We always started getting stuff out Sunday after Thanksgiving. 

My take:  If people want to set it up before hand that is good, but after doing that and testing it...turn it off until after Thanksgiving.

Wife and I have big decorations including light show with music and multiple large blow ups.  We have been setting it up for the last week and testing it some at night to check bulbs/lights/radio signal and the programming.  It runs when we are testing/fixing things but then is turned off.  Our official "launch" is Friday after Thanksgiving with neighbors, friends, snacks, hot cocoa and baileys.
