i remember “playing” typer shark a long time ago. i think it still exists somewhere today.

i suck with the number row, too, because i was ill and in the hospital during that part of the term i took a typing class during high school. text i can do at ~ 100wpm and i’m a monster on 10-key, standard or inverted. while i am getting better in the decades since, the number row and the symbols on it still slow me down.

“back in my day” (k12 in the 1970s-80s) we rarely got snow days. sure, it snowed. a lot. buses might roll into school a little late some days, but it took a big blizzard for them to call-off school. we had mud days in the spring more often, as many of the rural county roads in our very large (~ 100 miles across) district were narrow or windy dirt or gravel roads.

update: they won’t honor it, and require a plan that costs almost as much more as the 30/mo credit would give.

gonna call those turds tomorrow to make sure the one phone we got from one of their retailers is unlocked. and then bitch (again) about us purposefully paying full retail for it to avoid payments and a contract, and having the agent forge (!) a contract for it anyway after-the-fact (for a dollar) so they could get the commission.

and when they don’t find anything, they’ll make something up.

you must complete the quest with your love on a holiday, during the hours of 7 and eleven, while carrying a diamond shamrock. it has to be a kwik trip and you must travel in a circle, k?

i don’t need weed to do that.

if you overdo the grains (like cold cereal), you might experience an unintended side-effect later.

… which, in firefox, is either off by default or can be switched off.

nah. it’s an election year. you’re supposed to shut up, buy more stuff and be happy–and vote for his people because ‘he’ made that one tiny, insignificant, and very temporary thing happen.

a bunch of old geezers cruising the local ‘strip’ from 7-9am just like we used to back in high school at night on the weekends.

some states do not have front plates.

new far-right ownership and control. it’s basically gonna become a maga megaphone.

put a catnip-laced toy in there somewhere.

hearing ice barbie every half hour now is already too much.

I don’t even piss standing up anymore

the correct solution.

it could be worse.

i have my boss’s old one here that’s pretty much only used for testing mobile web and for its camera. i use a ‘dumb’ phone, and its camera doesn’t work (was crap-tier anyway when it did). i think it has 10 on it. it doesn’t leave the office, doesn’t get used that much, and has no google account linked to it anymore since it was totally reset when it was replaced earlier in the year… the inability to use google play to install a few apps reduces its usefulness. i got f-droid on it but not everything is available from it.

it probably is. he can’t rename the department of defense without congressional action, but apparently the moron-in-chief can make up ‘secondary’ names and titles:
