  1. Ayup. Once I got something off eBay and the guy used Zimbabwean notes as packing materials. Even the "solid" precious metal currencies were given to slips, slides, and petty deceits. One thing that fascinates me is Mexico's coins since the early 1900s. They were (are?) devoted to keeping some of the coins in silver, and so you'd have a real silver coin, but the numbers on it kept getting bigger. Like watching a brave but overwhelmed army fighting to hang onto a trench before having to retreat to another.
  2. My Brother, millimetres? Do you want to see a guillotine in Piccadilly?
  3. Looks like you got some natural pimp in you, son.
  4. I for one am impressed with Vivek's rise from moneyless, friendless Dalit, to success. A success surely envied by Brahmins with infinitely more resources and connections to help their sons. Vivek, Man of True Success. Now dance.
  5. Not gonna lie, if Trump starts sending out more checks, I'm gonna ride that train of spending devalued currency all the way to Zimbabwe. People spent.
  6. It's like this: you get old and say you need some money. It happens. If you're really an artist, and you still have one eye and half a hand, you can knock out colorful little widgets, flog em on eBay, and hell, with any luck, pull in a few extra bucks on eBay and Etsy. Don't tell me she doesn't have a phone. Now because I judged, and may be judged in turn, I hope I don't get afflicted with the non-art circumstances like she did. I am mostly just puzzled.
  7. On second thought, maybe she was a graphic designer. I'd retire from that and go push a lawn mower.
  8. What kind of artist "retires?"
  9. @Bozo_Casanova got a new hammer for Christmas and he's hammering nails. Keep it up.
  10. Download the sumbitch a bus map. @tx_3_putt for the win.
  11. I haven't dramatically cut off anybody, but there are several I have made no effort to be around after they showed their asses. eg trying to visit my 80-ish mom with their unvaxxed asses because now they're faith-healed (they weren't,) or lashing out at old friends because Hannity or the local priest or whoever got them spun up in closed-equation thinking. On the other hand, anybody who knows how to act, I get along fine with them. I don't ask for ideological conformity, just some some courtesy, some sympathy, and taste. Thankfully where I live is a little old fashioned with a shadow left over of dueling culture. We don't actually meet at dawn, but it tempers the outbursts.
  12. "Kathy" rolls up aggressively, but I warm her heart.
  13. I could have been someone.
  14. You got me. One cute funny chick in a comic book store (yeah it's a stretch but I'm totally telling the truth this time,) one 19 going on 38 jaded chick who was couchsurfing 5 Points South, as one did, then Tall chick who was running buddies with first one, and eventually started working at the Post Office but diverted into skripping and small sex parties, so I heard.
  15. Begun, the Christmas Eve Taco Payment Wars have.
  16. I haven't, but for $4,000 bucks a pop, I might need to start.
  17. I looked up the address, and it looks like there's a 50/50 chance that if you walk in there you'll get hijacked into a coding bootcamp for 8 weeks never being taught to close a function and you'll have a Github that makes somebody wince then after dicking around for a few weeks of tech brah interviews you realize you could have just given your own self a pay raise by doing a better job at what you already were good at doing.
  18. Doxing is wrong.
  19. Got stood up on a stage in 11th grade and taught to sing that. Knew about as much French as a house cat at the time, but still remember that oboe < hautbois = "high wood." I woulda thought it meant "duck quacker."
  20. From AI Overview so either true, or gibberish: "The State of Texas Mexico Office in Mexico City is located at IOS Offices Condesa, Benjamín Hill 1, Piso 1, Col. Hipódromo Condesa, Cuauhtémoc, Ciudad de México 06170. Their phone number is C +52 81 833 59633." Maybe call the number and see where they'll be watching it?
  21. Just used Gaelic on a phone scam Lonely Hearts bot. Even though I shot "her" down, I could still feel her "Outlander"-addled circuits trembling. Gooo, lass.
  22. I gotta admit I have been blissfully unaware of Roy's doings since the Great Alabama Butt Whoopin of'17. Butt here's my guess, based on the past 4 or 5 scams he ran: Sanctimonious outrage at something > Dramatic Grandstanding > Adults in his own party shut him down > Meemaw sends him money. Check your elders' bank activity, kids.
  23. Thanks for the intel! I will go down there and check it out. Appreciate it.
  24. Renfaire chic. Flush toilets and warriors wearing glasses.
  25. Roy Moore is pre-MAGA. It's like when you look in the dinosaur book and before T-Rex they show a few big amphibians and giant roaches. That's where Roy goes. Remember, he managed to screw the pooch in one of the most MAGA states after Trump won. I wonder what he is doing now? Grifting or still losing, one or the other.
