Which do you disagree with? That the queen should, or should not, give any f***s about seatbelts?

I bought something off Amazon, the first item in many months. My prime membership had expired, so I had to pay for shipping. I ordered Monday, supposed to get it by Friday at checkout, but only received email saying will receive by Sunday. Saturday is here and Amazon says something happened and my package will be delayed and they are refunding my shipping charges. That is nice, but I'm ordering off Walmart from now on.

I went to a small Christian school, but many of the students were "troubled," shall we say. One year they decided to do an Easter production. During the part where Jesus stood before Pilate and the crowd screamed, "Crucify Him!" one of my friends waited for the noise to die down and screamed, "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" Dead silence for about ten seconds.

We never had an Easter drama again.

"Welease Bwian!" would have been funnier.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

I never found the rules for being lazy that complicated, though if you want to ask, I’ll go through them.

You can even consider me a question authority on this matter.

In my mind, it is one of those loose buckles with a beer opener.

(yanking out the seatbelt sensor is very very stupid on any modern car for a lot of different reasons, including the fact that the car will complain even more about that)
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

This right here is how a Royal Mechanic ends up herding sheep in the Falklands.

I don't think that's a "modern" Range Rover.

Most 'proper' Range Rover owners are. We aren't talking posers in £100k sport models that never see anything but asphalt, I mean multi-millionaire farmers and estate owners who buy a new one once every three decades or so.

I really like Vietnam, but I hate getting the visa there. The visa covers an entire passport page and they stamp it on an entirely different page right in the middle, causing other people to stamp other pages, thus wasting valuable passport pages.

edit: I travel a lot, so conserving passport pages is very important. I dont see why Vietnam can't just be a Visa free country.

The new G-wagon looks great, but I would prefer more of a physical dashboard with some LCD elements instead of making the entire dashboard one giant LCD element. One reason is texture. Being able to see and touch elements of a car is important. That is why I insist my kitchen and bathroom tiles have some sort of texture (I go barefoot in house).

Last I was in the US, they stamped my passport in the same way on entry. Back when we had visas towards the US, they also stamped it in that exact way - right in the middle of a page - and the Chinese visa is the same (although it is a sticker of sorts instead of stamp, and it has enough info to fill the page anyway).

I am sure they would love to be, so... write your congressman? Maybe wait for a less xenophobic administration first, though.

Random ridiculousness, dude.

It’s the same gif I embedded, which was riding the image resizer kinda hard.

All I did was yank the IMG tags.


I edited a warning into the post.

also reminds me of spinning out in snow several years ago. Amazing no one hit me. Then again, roads weren't crowded due to snow.
