I've been eating my dog's oral anti-tick meds for the last few years: so far, so good. I particularly enjoy the beef flavored ones Don't mess around with the vaccines, they'll give you covid.

How "Jeep culture" has evolved to its current state. Already posted this in the GOTOS thread but geez that guy just about hit a lot of the points that make me lol. Especially the bit about the RTT. The Jeep angry eyes grill trend was comical enough, but now how I'm seeing the rubber ducky trend blowing up out of control just has me in stitches every time. One of these days I'm going to see a Jeep in duckies from bumper to bumper. No offense to our Jeep friends here. The modern crop of Jeep folk just cracks me up is all. At least they're having fun.

Annoying influencer but somewhat amusing explosions and story

USA upset Pakistan in the second most popular sport in the world (2.5 billion fans) and all you hear is crickets.

My wife just saw a guy riding an e-bike around town with ankle weights. I’m trying to wrap my brain around that 4D logic

Ankle weights or maybe he had multiple offences that required multiple ankle gps units? I heard ebikes are the new Schwinn Varsitys with 50cc bangers...? Methhead transit. I could be overthinking it and it's just a way to get a 30' workout in 10', in terms of distance

Young Thug is getting RICO'd in GA, and his lawyer just got 20 days in jail (sharing cell with his client) for contempt after he caught the judge and prosecutor coercing a witness and refused to out his source. Apparently the witness then admitted to the underlying crime. Wild. The lawyer just became the most sought after defense attorney in GA for sure. This could turn into something that would warrant a whole thread if the popcorn potential is met.

Bmills is a lawyer right? Has anyone heard from him since Young Thug's lawyer got tossed in the clink?

This question was in the LearnedLeague online quiz yesterday:

Ötzi, the Copper Age person who was found in a region of the Ötztal Alps bordering Austria and Italy in 1991, is frequently referred to by what nickname, based on the condition in which he was found (which contributed to his preserved state, despite being over 5,000 years old)?

The question is:

Who plays trivia in jeans?

Playing pickle ball with Jeremy this morning.
What the fuck.

I’m still amused after the sun has set.

So much more to the story. But yeah. Crazy week.

My mother-in-law (who just died), printed the Internet. These are printouts of about every email she ever got. There are probably a dozen boxes like this.

at a funeral last weekend my uncle told me he had archived the public internet as of 1993(ish?) in PDF format

Old habits die hard. These days I use a printer maybe once a month.

I've been trying to sell a laser printer and a NIB toner cartridge for less than the toner costs for like 3 weeks: no takers
