Supplier change, but that isn’t it. By 2013 Sriracha wasn’t hot enough for us anymore. We used it like ketchup at that point. I think it was 2002 when we got that first bottle.

I love the ultra paranoid path Proton offers. It reminds me.of GoldenEye.

You -> VPN Server 1 -> VPN Server 2 -> TOR -> endpoint.

I remember our first bottle of Sriracha lasted about two years because we thought it was so spicy. Now they are lucky to last two months and we always add something spicy to give it some kick because we find it too bland now.

EDIT: For context, when we eat Thai or Indian we ask for “thai hot” or grandma’s style (the cook is the owner’s grandmother). Thai hot is perfect. Grandma is trying to kill me.

In the US, we do not have to worry about this because we outsourced our entire means of production. We are fully-dependent on slave labor, foreign and domestic, just like the founding fathers intended.

The fact that I get to learn cool facts while commenting on memes is a reason why I love the Internet.

Would also be funny if it was a maxipad.

I can guarantee that kid will die.

I’m just saying, if you are gonna instantly repost the image I spent time and effort making, at least gimme a shout out. It’s all about getting some love, the only currency worth anything ont the interwebz.

You know, you can crosspost.

True story: In 2018 I was pretty sure I was or was about to have a heart attack and possibly a stroke. I drove to the ER rather than call an ambulance. As soon as they checked my vitals, they prepped me for emergency surgery. As I was in the O.R. my wife was listing our second home (he one we wanted to retire in) for sale because she was certain that the medical expenses would bankrupt us. Everything worked out well, but the fact that while I might be breathing my last breaths all I am worried about is leaving my wife in financial ruin is not something I can let go of.

…penguins do not have penises. Both sexes have orifices called cloacas that are used both for reproduction and for waste.

That’s why some people resort to divorce prior to pursuing treatment. Look it up. It’s a horror show.

I am pretty sure that Luigi Mangione was my sales rep at the Apple Store in Orlando, Florida on the day of the shooting.

Essential skills they picked up during their time in prison.

This might be a controversial take but, I don’t think seven figure net worth qualifies as rich anymore. I am going to guess the comfort zone now is in the mid eight figures. Seven figures doesn’t guarantee that you won’t have to work until you die. All it takes are a few health issues and the US healthcare system will drain your life’s savings.

SOURCE: In US. Survived heart surgery and cancer. What scared me the most was not dying, it was leaving my wife in financial ruin.

If you live in Florida the first thing that you learn is never to always put Christmas Lights on Palm Trees

Atari! Yars’ Revenge, Asteroids, Frogger and Space Invaders were my jam.

This is one thing I will always appreciate of growing up Gen-X. Our moms would kick us out of the house after breakfast and expected us to be gone until the street lights started to buzz. A pack of us on BMX bikes, adventuring, exploring abandoned buildings, jumping off cliffs and into rivers or the ocean, etc. It genuinely ruled ams and I fully appreciate that it did.

Tales From The Loop too.
