Buglefingers

Can confirm, I’m an idiot and I have a couple machines running various distros.

That point in time was when the number of new things in life diminished to sporadic events. New things stand out and feel longer, repetition and same ol blurs and becomes irrelevant to memory and thusly disappears making time seem to “fly by”

If you do a ton of new things you’ve never experienced there’s still the possibility of having an “endless summer” such as the ones people often fondly recall from their youth.

The problem often is that when young, basically everything is new, getting a bike and being able go visit a gas station is a new thing, but as an adult, visiting a gas station, even if a new one, has enough same ol to become irrelevant’d by the brain.

Foot loose

There’s that and the “this could be useful later” mentality. Things like empty cans, bread ties, old computer bits, loose tools etc. And though I’m not even close to hoarder (more of a minimalist) saving some stuff has really come in handy, like old cables or aforementioned bread ties

I’d assume there are those safeties and interlocks, you’d always want that, a thumbdrive with a program that disables it is just as easy and not a “bug” which is what I was getting at. But yeah, it’s unlikely most cargo ships would want that probably. I’m simply playing devils advocate because they do seem to have them, so how or why in the most reasonable sense is all I’m arguing.

My other thought behind it was also not necessarily that it is it’s own device/explosive but more so along the lines of “we will intentionally run this poorly to cause itself to self destruct.” Akin to running a car engine untuned and without a radiator then full throttling it.

Someone may have just developed a program that tells the engines to do that so you wouldn’t exactly need anything physically installed to have it work.

I always though the point was “This is secret/must not be given to the enemy” so destruction is a better option than having it seized

I’ve never tried to eat bark, do I need the whole dog or…?

So it was a FIG-ticious fruit?

Given the era, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a fig

100%, I am someone who is very strict with my finances because I’m usually the one to help others out of a bind. This past month I had would have ruined most people and I only scraped by because of my over preparedness. 9K in one month and another 3K this month. Car blew a head gasket, insurance wouldn’t rent me a car so I had to out of pocket, then failed inspection for tires and had to replace those, city said they were changing some code and the cost to upgrade fell on me. Etc. Life can come out of nowhere and easily make someone homeless even if they were doing reasonably okay. And that’s usually how it happens too.

I have a few in that list too and yeah, online dating is really rough. I’ve had way more success meeting people IRL. Now that I’m a proper adult though, my hobbies don’t really expose me to meeting new people and that’s where it gets extra hard. Still haven’t found a solution to get me out into public to meet people, friends or dating.

You could fix my humanity with a hug :')

This is a wild turn one combo that will win if both players have the same starting life. Assume 20 life each, you play the first card to give you 3 green mana, you play the second card using 2 green mana. This card let’s you use 19 of your life for mana leaving you at 1 life and 19 manager + 1 from the previous card. You play the third card which gives you one red mana (totals are 20 green, 1 red) and finally now you can use the last card by paying one red and X (X can be any number you choose as long as you can pay it). In this case X is going to be 20, for the 20 green you had dealing a perfect 20 damage to the other player leaving them at 0 life and yourself at 1 life.

This combo works for whatever life total as long as yours is greater than or equal to Theirs

Lmao, so if theres a person on the other side do they grab the foot or something to show there’s a person there?

How do you know which side is which? You think anyone has ever accidentally bumped into someone trying at the same time? Lmao

It’s for-profit of course

I had an amazing 2 year relationship with a woman in a very conservative family. We were early 20s back then and we were damn near perfect for each other. I ended up having to break it off for reasons akin to what you mentioned. She was not allowed her own car, couldn’t choose her own job, was not allowed to move out unless it was to someone she married. We couldn’t sit on the same couch in her parents house and she had a 9pm curfew. Again, this is in her 20s.

Although she did not hold those values as rigidly, her family would’ve disowned her for doing anything outside their wants, and family was her everything. Because we couldn’t progress the relationship without jumping straight to marriage it just had to end. Really unfortunate TBH and I hope she’s gotten out of it to some degree. People shouldn’t have to live in such a way, being so controlled like that.

I looked into moving to Germany a few years back myself. Mostly because my work has a place over there and the employee benefits are way way better there than here. I think most immigration processes are nontrivial unless you have a ton of wealth to bring to a country.
