That’s actually a common misconception.

It’s not because Japanese ninjas are bad at being ninjas, it’s just that other countries ninjas are completely invisible to the naked eye.

Obviously we all know we can see our own country’s ninjas, but other countries are invisible.

Thanks to years of cultural import/export, most humans can naturally see Japanese ninjas.

So congrats, if you can see a Japanese ninja, you’re actually just close to being a weeb.

At least my parents church has the decency to give first time visitors a free 6oz cup of coffee.

I decided a long time ago that if I ever walk in and don’t recognize anyone, and someone thinks I’m a visitor who didn’t grow up there, I’m going to start quoting Bible verses about how selling shit inside the church is wrong and I would be channeling the righteous anger of Jesus himself if I flipped all their tables and whipped them.

Unfortunately despite the fact that I have been there twice in 10 years, people still recognize me.

Look, if you didn’t want people watching you, then why run lines in a public place?

And will you not also be center of attention during the performance said lines are for?

I suppose a birthday is aa good a place as any to test your public speaking…

The majority of people I’ve brought this up with believe MKULTRA is just a Conspiracy theory and never happened, or have never even heard of it.

Like… This is stuff they are ADMITTING TO.

And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it’s 4am so you definitely won’t be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.

Local city is doing fireworks at 10pm.

I’m too old for this shit, just don’t wake me up.

Clearly you’ve never met someone like my wife.

Moth needs to stop runningaway when I try to let it outside, I just want to help but I can’t help if I can’t catch it.

Quark, you’ve been warned a hundred times about discussing human hunting techniques with menagerie owners.

Don’t make me get Odo.

… “FeEmAlEs”… you ferengi sure know how to raise 'em…

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

From a certain point of view.

140 (87mph).

I’m sure there are cars where I wouldn’t feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.

120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn’t be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.

New noises don’t bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it’s a mess but it’s all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.

It’s the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.

Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you’ll hit a bump at 15 and the whole front bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.

No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn’t prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit…

And I didn’t have any idea what to do, but I knew I needed a click, so we put a click on the 24-track

Which then was then synced to the Moog Modular

I knew that could be a sound of the future, but I didn’t realize how much the impact it would be

My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio

synth beats intensify

From my understanding, he has solar/wind powered well pumps, and a septic system he can “shovel out” himself. He had a covered box for deliveries next to his mailbox, and anything that needs to be dropped close to the house can drive straight in, I assume he plans those out ahead of time.

I just checked street view maps and since the last time I was over there he actually has a driveway now! With a gate across it.

Last time I spoke to him regularly enough that house questions wouldnt be weird, he was already working on solar power and already had a “battery wall” from 18650 cells cobbled together from surplus and garage sale battery packs. Had a whole table set up with testing and monitoring stuff for it. Apparently when the power went out, he could keep his fridge and freezer going for “almost a week”

I’m sure by now he’s gotten some of the trees cleared so he can have a garden, as that was also on the list of things he wanted to do to the place.

So he’s probably living as off grid as possible by now, while still using satellite or cellular internet.

It would be weird for me to just out of the blue start talking to him to ask more about it, we were never really “friends” friends, more “he’s friends with my friend so by extension we hang out” which makes it weirder. Not sure why, we just didn’t seem to interact outside of hangouts and group chats. Although if I’m being honest it’s probably because his family is rich so any time he went on about the stuff he’s “built” and “earned” it just rubbed me the wrong way.

But It’s a nice setup for sure.

I’ll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.

It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.

Base building was a nightmare, and that’s the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.

Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares

Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.

I don’t understand this mentality from people who already have their name out there. You’re supposedly famous and you’re getting mad about being even more famous and recognizable.

A doll house where there’s an even smaller doll house inside, where the tiny TV in the living room plays episodes of the show Dollhouse.

I know someone who did something like this.

They bought a huge garage/warehouse on an empty plot of land, and built essentially two floors of a house right next to each other inside it. Didn’t make it look fancy though, just enough to keep the insulation in and hold everything solidly together.

His reasoning? “it’s got to be cheaper to heat and easier to maintain if it’s inside a cheaper building”

He’s lived there for over a decade and has since gotten married and had a kid, so it’s still working for him.

And I’m not trying to imply that there is no reason to need a truck or no reason to need an SUV.

I didn’t mean to imply that’s what you were saying.

There are exceptions, but yeah 99% of trucks and SUVs on the road simply don’t need to be there.

I’d love electric van, honestly. Most of the stuff I use my truck for doesn’t need the open space up top or the ability to drop a load from above/the side, and the few times I have needed that I could have spent an hour hand loading things. Plus I’d prefer the extra security of having an enclosed cargo space. Vans are better than trucks in all but a small set of circumstances
