  1. I always think about attempting a read, but doesn’t seem worthwhile after reviews from people who actually achieved it.

    Read the collections; Consider the Lobster, ASFTIWNDA and find them funny and entertaining, but until told otherwise IJ does not seem worth endeavoring post-it notes, highlighters, and copious note taking for entertainment in the age of YouTube and Netflix.

  2. Find an online calculator for head pressure and elevation and see if a hydraulic ram pump will work. $100 in pvc if you have a suitable location to drive the wasting check valve.

     

    Bonus points: you can blow folks’ minds with claims of “free energy” and “perpetual motion”

     

  3. Nope, it was Berenstein. You'll never convince me otherwise.


    Maybe it was an ‘a’ you and everyone else mispronounced, or, or, OR you’ve broke the wall of the matrix because the super computer AI was too dumb to catch Stein as the more prevalent name suffix.

    Good luck Neo!
  4. More like Mandala Affect, amirite? 

    It got brought up in an informal working conf call and diverted convo for 5-10mins.

    Lady in bad Gump voice says “sorry I ruined your black panther party”
    Type A engineer can’t let it go and corrects her, “actually it’s ‘I had a FIGHT in the MIDDLE of’...”
    Not it’s not.
    I remember ruined
    I remember ruined
    *I join in*- no it is fight guys
    ...
    *Someone googles and corrects* It is fight. ZOMG Mandela effect!!!
    What’s Mandela effect?
    *Down that wormhole we go*
    *Circle back to Forrest* Totally remember “ruined” y’all. That’s so trippy.
    *Other engineer and I trying to hold back the tide.* what’s more likely? This misremembered quote from 25 damn years ago is much more interjected in casual conversation as “ruined” than “fight in the middle” so people use it incorrectly and misappropriate that memory in Gump’s voice in their heads. OR we entered a simulation since the early 90s and the idiots forgot to wipe the internet of facts?
    Okay, but you can’t convince me it wasn’t The Berenstein bears!
    It wasn’t! The damn creators name is Berenstain. We pronounced it “Berenstein” at my house too, but that doesn’t make it right.

    //trivial annoyance

    I’m sure 3-4 people on that call are currently explaining to their spouses how the fickleness of the human mind is proof that we’re all time travelers or something

  5. I have lots of British friends, and they drop "cunt" all the time.  I have gotten into a bad habit of using it a lot more.  But I also think both men and women can be cunts. It is all about how you act.
     

    From Aussies it was practically every required in every sentence.  But I am probably being cheeky again.   


    For whatever reason the good things about cunt didn’t cross the Atlantic so it’s the worst female pejorative there is.

    I once heard a Aussie reply to “how did you sleep?” with:

    “Mate! AC was perfect, I pulled up that top sheet and slept like a right warm cunt” No American would ever claim to have slept like a pussy.

    That conversation devolved into curse words around the world and how there was so little ownership of pussy/cunt in US, and how fucker is so over used here we had to add Mother to everyday usage.

    Bad ass, the tits, the balls, the shit, fucking a, I’m a nasty bitch, cocky, el chingon...on and on.

  6. Your shitty memory isn’t the Mandela Effect and it certainly isn’t proof we’ve entered a simulation or a parallel universe.

    Was it Looney “Tunes” or “Toons”? I can’t remember ZOMG! so it must be a different timeline!

  7. The Derel was a drive by troll poster. Usually single sentences and seemed to up his game the more serious the thread.

    OP posts great ribeye shot, short cooking post.

    “Looks serviceable, but had better out Chili’s”

    OP heartfelt back info and looking for divorce/relationship advice or just to communicate with 3rd parties.

    3rd post would be - “My chick loves football, good beer, and blowing me. Don’t know where y’all find these bitches.”

    IIRC, he was one of the first sufferers of neg rep banning. Meme worked perfectly because his user name was actually “The Derel”
