My (soon to be ex-) wife buys large quantities of bottled water… One of many things about her I found irksome over the years, I went to the trouble of putting in an RO filter under the sink… and she was always so vocal about recycling… What’s better than recycling? Not buying tons of plastic in the first place…

And you try to tell the young people of today that, they won’t believe you.

How I feel about my (soon to be ex-) wife…

Funny, I felt the same way about my wife, but she surprised me in the end…

That’s about the time I started building my MP4 collection… Which is up to at least 2TB by now, if not 3…

I did not. But many years ago I had a girlfriend who named mine Roy, as in Orbison. Can’t for the life of me remember why… She liked to have long talks with Roy, but he was quite deaf, had to get right up in there to hear anything…

Fortunately I’ve been to a cardiologist recently and found my heart is fine. Still don’t know what was wrong with me for several months, but it wasn’t that.

While this is true, I was still grossed out when my wife used to repeatedly borrow my toothbrush… Like yeah, we’d kiss and exchange many more bodily fluids, but it’s not like we’re scraping each other’s teeth and digging between gums and teeth when we’re kissing…

Hell if I remember so long ago, redhat was in the mix, then mandrake… I ran Gentoo for years on a server, until I got bitten by some upgrade woes, then switched to Debian, then arch, now truenas. Meanwhile on my desktop I bounced around even more… Ubuntu until the stupid wannabe metro UI, then switched to mint, which I used exclusively (as in without dual-booting windows) for a while… Meanwhile my laptop dual boots Manjaro alongside windows 11…

Mine was slackware in I think 1997?

One does not preclude the other…

Steve Hughes had this to say…

I don’t remember a once-in-a-generation economic crisis in 2002… I remember the dotcom bust and my dad watching his retirement evaporate in 2000…

I blame office staff- when I had my wisdom teeth removed, it was going to be a shit show, so they sold me on “putting me under”- insurance would only cover local, but “you don’t want to be awake for all the digging and prying” which did not sound like fun so I agreed, at a cost of $400. Of course I woke up in the middle of it, and got to experience the digging and prying… Didn’t hurt at all, but it was still disconcerting. I found out later this wasn’t anything unusual. Had I known I would have been awake, I wouldn’t have spent the extra money.

Cartoonist has met my wife…

Phoenix area by any chance? Or Oklahoma?

why would they buy a car when they can pay the same price for public transport

They answered that

Basically, because they have no choice. More public transportation is choice.

I have one in Arizona - trade?
