You're asking them to think. That's your first mistake.

Well no matter what it is, all he knows is that he loves you, and he's gotta make sure you know.

"$3,000 setup to play a game from 2010."

I have an RTX 4070 that I've been using to play Half Life. I've owned my copy for a while, but have never played it.

Drives my wife crazy lol

Meet Sherlock. He's about 1½ years old and weighs 70 pounds. This guy spent two hours bouncing all over the four-acre dog park, and still wanted to play once we got home.

We get asked all the time what he is. My wife sent off a DNA kit so maybe we'll have an idea in a couple weeks. I'm pretty sure those ears pick up shortwave radio.

We adopted him in August. Here he is the day we took him home.

He's really intelligent. He knows a lot of commands. Most of them he does right away, but he's not always so eager to please. You just have to show him that no matter how stubborn he is, you're even more stubborn. He gets there soon enough.

I also use private mode for searching things that I myself would be appalled to find in my own search history.

My orange cat is the direct opposite. You look in his general direction for even a fraction of a second, and he's all over you like Grandma's kisses.

It's sweet.

But it's also exhausting sometimes.

You know who doesn't make enough money? The people who control more housing than they can live in, and who, instead of selling that extra housing, exploit the basic human need for shelter, and we as a society just seriously undervalue how important this role is.

Edit: Storytime, kids. I'll spoiler it so it doesn't take up a ton of room.

Fuck landlordsIn 2017, my wife and I rented a house from a nice lady. She was pretty cool. Her husband was on deployment or something. Anyway, we signed a second year with her because we liked her and the location. She sold the house to her mother-in-law about 4 months into that second lease. And that's where it went downhill.

The first summer, the 20+ year old air conditioner went out. The first landlord immediately had someone at the house to check it out. The next summer, when it happened again, the temperature soared to 110°F for the following four days...and at no point after being notified did the second landlord have a repairman out. And we texted her each morning asking for an update. We drove 3 hours to my parents' house to use their pool. We bought a window AC for the bedroom so we could sleep. It was a nightmare. It turned out to be a fix that took an hour and cost her $125. She made up some bullshit excuse but I know she didn't want to pay the weekend rate for the repairman and that's why she was willing to let us suffer, despite the fact we were paying $1,100 a month to live there. When she came over with the repairman, it was 93° in the house and the bitch had the audacity to say, "Wow, it's hot in here." YA FUCKING THINK?

That August, we got a ton of rain. It made a ton of bugs come out. Some of which dropped in on us and killed the yard. She was FURIOUS about this. Then bitched at us about not trimming the trees either (we weren't obliged in the lease agreement to trim trees). She had a lawn care expert come by and tried to get him to lay into us. His response was actually, "We've had a lot of rain. They had no way to see this coming. Lots of people in town have been dealing with this." It shut her up. The next spring, I overseeded the shit out of the yard and it bounced right back.

So we informed her three months early we would not be staying for a third year. We bought a condo that summer. Then we sold it in 2022 and bought a house. And stg she is two houses down from us. It took us four months of putting in offers to get one accepted and now we have to live next to the bitch. I'm sure she doesn't recognize us, but hey, axes and trees and remembering and all that. Anyway, she's like 75 so I'm sure in the next 10 years she'll croak and then we'll have yet another rent house in the neighborhood because greedy heirs don't want to sell.

Car enthusiasts: Check out this list of mods that's so long it'd need legal paper to print out. I even have stickers with the chassis code on it and a Japanese license plate on the front so you know it's JDM.

Mechanics: I drive a stock 2000 Crown Victoria.

I'm calling fake now.

Christmas lights, if made correctly, should have a fuse. These cords aren't made to handle the full 20A the breaker can. They usually cap somewhere around 3A. Nothing is stopping you from plugging a two prong 12A vacuum cleaner into them. So if you actually tried that, you'd blow the fuse in your lights before you tripped the breaker.

This is how 16 gauge extension cords should be made, too. Unfortunately, they aren't, and people light those up all the time.

Either that, or here goes Amazon, once again not vetting the shit they sell, and selling average intelligence people fire hazards.

  • His name is Sherlock.
  • He's a year old.
  • He weighs about 70 pounds/~32 kg.
  • He's a mix adopted from a local shelter. Google Lens calls him a Dutch Shepherd. Might have a little pit in him. Gonna get a DNA kit for him.
  • He has XXXL ears. Everyone comments on how oversized his ears are.
  • He gives the softest, sweetest kisses.
  • He does not like walks or new people or new places.
  • He loves other dogs.
  • He doesn't understand the cat. Or his boundaries.
  • He pooped in the car once.
  • If left to his own devices, he will eat all the grass in the yard. The concept of not eating too much fiber at once is one he can't digest.
  • Despite not loving new people, he does warm up to you fairly quick. It took 20 minutes of my in-laws being around before he got lovey dovey on them.
  • He doesn't like bones that much. He'd rather have a cloth toy he can pull apart thread by thread.
  • His two favorite places in the world are 1) Daycare, and 2) Wherever mom is sitting. I'm the spare lol
  • I wanted to name him Rye Bread because of the color of his coat. My sister in law has a dog named Tater and my brother's dog is named Biscuit so I thought going with the theme of carbs would be cute. But he responds to Sherlock and that just makes handling him a million times easier so we stuck with that.

Here he is peeping out the window with the aforementioned cat:

Might as well use the latest numbers for this comparison. Yes, inflation is still absolutely sucking us all dry.
