I'm just glad this wasn't on mildly infuriating because if I had to work/discuss this with people coming onto the property I'd be demanding it be re-did immediately. Use fucking letters if we have to. ANYTHING. Colors colorblind people are good with, anything is better

That's where I found a lot of those visual illusions back in the day. Like you could would stare At them and they would rotate in your view but weren't actually moving, and if you changed your view they could move the other direction or such. Those were neat.

I mean Gilderoy Lockhart was probably fucking himself for years.

Years ago when fixing phones most of the charging problems was just that. Most of the ear speaker issues were from makeup getting caked up in the mesh screen. And most of the motherboard issues came from people dropping them in the toilet/lake/ocean.

Trying to explain to people that the much larger flying cockroaches you find in Florida are fine and the much smaller invasive German cockroaches are far more of a problem is near impossible when they first come across them.

I feel like we call them Palmetto bugs instead of roaches just to make them feel better about them. Yet they don't spread disease the same way, or seem to cause home infestations, which is why they really arent as bad. But when my partner moved from Tennessee to Florida and saw one out on the balcony by the beach, she almost chose to fly over the railing to get away from it either way.

For me it was always, what do you want for Christmas? How about a computer chair (because she didn't like the chair I used, it was one you knelt on kind of like this.

I would say absolutely not, I love my chair. And she would get me a computer chair for Christmas.

Same thing happened with my graduation. She got my brother a watch a couple years before when he graduated, told her absolutely don't get me a watch I never wear them as they always bothered my wrist. (I sweat and run hot, and we lived in Florida, which means it's always 100% humidity). I of course got a watch for Graduation. I took it to get sized 7 years later, wore it home from the place that sized it put it in a drawer and the battery died god knows when after that, but long before I ever went to wear it, I just saw it was dead when I had to move it to another house. So now I carry a dead watch from place to place and I doubt it's worth anything as it was engraved on the inside, so I doubt you could even pawn in.

I mean, at least it wasn't a Zero Bar. I got those a couple times as a kid and they were okay if you were in the mood for it, but damn if someone said they got me a candy bar and handed me that I'd be a bit disappointed. But hell, Id still be happy someone gave me a candy bar though.

Hegseth said we couldn't even block hypersonic missiles so China could sink our entire fleet in minutes, yet thinks we will not only be able to build a defense system well enough to block them but block them from hitting all of the U.S. and Canada in 3 years, even from space. Who could possibly believe that?

There used to be a legend when I grew up around Orlando that they would use helicopters to airlift people out of the park to die in Celebration (the town they owned next door and paid to make infrastructure better) to ensure that they maintained the ideology that no one dies at Disney
