I knew a career, retired, cop and he once told me “I never once rolled up to a domestic dispute where there was a bong smoking on the table and everyone was stoned. Alcohol, however, pretty much every damn time.”

When it gets bad enough that I have to ; )

Though we have been on a kick lately of washing dishes immediately after supper and not letting them pile up.

It has to be human liver though. The alcohol will know if you try to trick it with other types.

You just have me a flashback to a game named Nocturne from the late 90s. I didn’t remember anything about it, but I recall enjoying it.

I haven’t thought of that in at least 20 years.

Ah yeah, that makes sense. There’s a big difference between a 7cm folding pocket knife and a 20cm fixed blade rambo-esque hunting knife… And I can’t think of any reason to carry the latter around in a city : )

I’ve carried a knife in my pocket everyday for the past 35 years or so. It’s a useful tool both for actual work and mundane tasks like opening boxes/etc.

A few weeks ago I was hiking near a lake and found a bird entangled in fishing line. It would’ve been very difficult to free it without some type of blade. Hell, it took almost 15 minutes even with the knife because it was so wrapped up and distressed.

Is it addictive? Like, physically addictive or “that was nice, I’d like to do it again” addictive? I’ve known people who used it daily for months and quit with no reported problems, side effects, withdrawals, etc. Of course, my sample size is 3 so this is anecdotal.

When it got banned in my area the “expert” witness supporting the ban was someone who owned a pain management clinic that primarily prescribed pills.

… No conflict there, no siree.

I’ve been carrying around multiple little baggies of pills in my backpack for years and over 20+ flights, several international, they’ve never asked.

Some are separated but loose in the bag (ibuprofen, cetirizine, diphenhydramine, from a bottle), and some were trimmed to minimum size from a blister pack and placed in the bag.

They focus a lot more closely on my headphones, charging cables, battery packs, etc.

So whatever is most convenient for you, in my opinion.

EDIT: they didn’t flag my epinephrine auto injectors (see: needles) either the three or four times I forgot to put them in the bin separately. Granted, those were domestic US flights.

My Cloud9 ErgoFS has dedicated keys for that. But, my fingers have known Ctrl+c/v for my entire life, plus they’re more easily reachable, so I still do that.

My only problem is Linux at home and Mac at work with the same keyboard so I tend to accidentally hit super+c in Linux because that’s the cmd key on Mac

We can take you to the ISS, bringing you back is… Complicated

Depends on the state. Down here there are pretty much zero restrictions except with an asterisk that it’s illegal to harm someone with them… AKA, an extra charge of you’re a dick and stab someone.

I’ve been carrying an “out the front automatic” for the last few years.

It’s just for … turning off the flashy lights.

This right here. But the software is garbage and I’d prefer they didn’t include the disco lights at all. Maybe that’s a way to improve profits?

You must have much higher standards than me.

I’ve spent too much time slamming that lil guy around

When I got mine, the doc said I should wait about two weeks then “ejaculate as frequently as possible” before returning for the scheduled checkup/semen test.

Doctor’s orders! 🫡

“guten tight”

“Tighten until you hear the crack, then back a quarter turn”

No breaks allowed!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_can

The inside of the can is lined by spray coating an epoxy lacquer or polymer to protect the aluminum from being corroded by acidic contents such as carbonated beverages and imparting a metallic taste to the beverage

Guess it depends on your definition of “plastic” and if someone would colloquially refer to an epoxy lining as plastic. Not here to debate word meanings but there is definitely a liner inside aluminum cans.

The spouse does most of the shopping but I was in a Harps the other day and saw that a medium (shrinkflated) bag of Cheetos was $8.75 USD.

Harps isn’t super local but… Holy shit. Who can afford Cheetos at that price? I used to buy them as an occasional treat but fuck that noise.

EDIT: for fun I just searched Walmart and they’re $5.94 there. I’m still not spending that much for a garbage treat.
