Starrett tools. All of them. I’ve put them through Hell and back.

Yeah, but can I use the Indian service to make calling my number from there illegal? I hate to point out the obvious, but most of the scam call centers are there.

It’s ChatGPT.

Nothing says love like surprise LFS.

The premise sounds awesome. I know no French at all. Would the fact that all of the signage is in French break immersion if I played the game in English? I guess this is something that varies from person to person, but it would be nice to hear from someone that has played the game.

Sigh… I had to do it:

[Title: “A Taco for the Ages” - Taco Bell Ad Script]

Opening Scene:

(Historical figures sit around a modern Taco Bell table, a mix of respectful lighting and serene ambiance, bridging time and culture.)

Voiceover: “Throughout history, great minds have gathered to inspire change, to push the boundaries of justice, to create a better future for us all. And today, they come together to experience something else transformative: the Doritos Locos Taco.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (taking his first bite): “Now, this is a taste of something different. Injustice anywhere may be a threat to justice everywhere, but flavor everywhere—now, that’s a cause I can support. It reminds me that small acts of joy are powerful. They bring people together.”

Rosa Parks (smiling as she tries a bite): “You know, I took a seat once that changed things, and I’d do it again right here for this taco. The right to flavor, the right to joy—those are things worth standing up for, too.”

Mahatma Gandhi (pausing, contemplative after taking a bite): “This is simple, yet bold. It speaks to the spirit of creativity and humble beginnings, and to the power of something new to unite us. A peaceful flavor revolution, indeed.”

Cesar Chavez (nodding): “This brings people to the table, just like we did in the fields. Fairness and respect, community and flavor—together, they remind us of what we’re fighting for.”

Malala Yousafzai (smiling, takes a bite): “It’s amazing how one bite can change your whole view of what’s possible. A taco that breaks boundaries—it’s a reminder that change is everywhere, even in what we choose to share with each other.”

Voiceover: “Some ideas are more than just flavor; they’re a celebration of what we can achieve together. At Taco Bell, we’re proud to serve moments of joy, community, and connection, one Doritos Locos Taco at a time.”

Screen fades to black, Taco Bell logo appears.

Voiceover: “Taco Bell: Feeding your desire for flavor, community, and change.”

I hope things go well for you and yours. She had a happy, loving life. This kind of hit home for me because my dog looks fairly similar and is getting up there in years for his size. I dread the day. May your beautiful girl RIP.

Fat tiger kitten for some variety.

We just threw them in the fire.

Eh, Tyson is also likely doing this to promo Bunny-Man.

That, and with rented tapes having to get up and adjust the tracking again.

I got Steve Madden confused with John Madden and wondered where the turducken would come into play.

Just do a headless install.

I see those stupid autonomous chick fil a delivery bots all over the place in GA. I really hate them. They are slow, clog up sidewalks, and generally impede traffic.

I’ve yet to see a proper autonomous car, though. And that’s weird, imo. I think airport shuttles would be an ideal fit for them.

And MathNet

Find someone that will stare at these with you.

This makes so little sense to me. One would think that an app would have a wider user base as well as being easier to take down. All they would need to do is run the app and see where it phones home to, then send a C&D to the distribution platform(s).

This is all incredibly valid, salient, and informative. However, it should be stressed that DIY is inherently dangerous and can really go bad. Only do so if you are more than confident in your ability to do everything involved.

I started transition in the early 2000’s before the terms “transition” or even “transgender” were even remotely mainstream. HRT wasn’t a real thing that you could just get prescribed.

I guess what I’m saying here is that if you have the option and capability, it is worth it (and safer) to do HRT legit. Don’t wind up like me with bare bones information and skill, winding up going through a weird pseudo menopause in your 20’s.

I have nothing against the idea of DIY, but please stay safe and informed. Don’t trust a single source of information.

I can’t help myself. *estranged

Ok, I understand that this is a shitpost. I also understand that the intent is to be encouraging. I think Mr. Rogers would understand that and perhaps support it. What I really don’t agree with here is mincing the words of probably the only person that the entirety of the US is not only OK with, but supports. In the US, be you Liberal, GQP, or whatever middle or adjacent views you have - this is the most loved person in all of media.

There are hundreds of quotes from him that anyone with an IQ over 20 universally agree with. I know that this is kind of a rant; but please let his words, and only his words, speak for themselves;
