Haha well not so bad but some years ago I had a funny one.

Met an american girl (24) on tinder who was here for university. Chat went well for about a week and then we made plans to meet up. She is new to the city and asks me to “pick her up” at her place so we can take public trans together.

The first thing I notice when I see her is she has crazy bulging eyes. Like in a movie!

I’m a chill guy so I’m not going to let that stop me and I take her to cafe I like. We sit down, I order a beer and she orders a cola and some starters. The she tells me she has never tired beer or any alcohol and asks if she can try my beer. I say ok and she takes a sip and makes a crazy face and spits it out onto the floor and makes a huge fuss about how gross is it and how can anyone drink that.

I didn’t know what do say so I played it cool and changed the subject to movies. We had a nice chat and nice meal and split the bill nicely. I saw her back to her place and dropped her off. She gave me a firm handshake goodbye and I figured that was the end of that.

3 weeks later I hanging out with friends and one of the guys says “hey are you dating a girl named Sarah Jones (name changed)? She’s in my class and she’s mad at you!” It took me a min to realize who he even meant. Sarah has telling him “we had a good thing going” and she doesn’t understand why she hasn’t heard from me and is waiting for me.

Then the next time I went to the cafe where I took Sarah they told me she had been back every night for a week after our date looking for me even though she never contacted me! WTF Sarah?!

fuck yeah

Maybe not in North America but there are thriving malls in many cities around the world in 2026.

Not really but I do feel like a lot of people have given up trying to read the room and do whatever they please without regard for anyone else around them. Like my senile aunt who recently attempted to try on underwear in the middle of a big store but at least she has an excuse!

I just got a TV. I went to my local thrift store and paid 25 euro for a very nice 32" LG FLATRON “Full HD Monitor TV” all I know is it has HDMI and ports for every kind of game console and retro computer too. It has no smart anything. Not even a way to hook it up to a network.

Pro tip, just about the worst way to introduce yourself here is to mention you are here because you were banned on reddit.

Unless I’m misunderstanding something, the linked Wired article is about a person designing and making very primitive new chips from scratch, not recycling and modding existing CPUs.

While it is very impressive and surely a great way to learn, its not cost effective at all for what results.

Are you asking if a hobbyist can open up an old cpu and add parts to it to make it faster?

When Jira down everything down!

Don’t do that! Once they taste the slommy they will KILL to get it!

It is! There are 9 different tables making up the course.

Perfect

Please also tag anything I think is dumb with [HC-DUMB] so I can block it.

Here in the NL we have names like “The Little Waterway,” “The Bridge,” “The Small Pond,” “The Barking Fish,” “The Elk,” or the original owners name or a local joke. My local place is called “Rip and Pluck”.

Then came the heatwave and everyone is barely wearing clothes at home on those days here. Even the friends who come over!

I remember a blog from some people in the US called chickenlegs I think

Of course not! I never turn down a free dildo but as the courier these dildos were not mine to keep.

yahahaha!

This one time I was in Berlin with my girlfriend and the guy is taking a long time looking at the xray of my bag. Finally, he asks me, “do you have a flashlight in your bag?” and I told him no. He looked puzzled and he asks me “what is the device in your bag that is shaped like a flashlight?” and I told him I really had no idea but I was sure I don’t have a flashlight in my bag. Then he tells me he needs to search the bag. Of course I agree.

He opens the bag, chuckles, and closes it back up and says “its ok have a nice flight!” and I’m so confused. Right then my gf comes from the line and grabs my hand and drags me to the gate.

We get a little bit away and she starts laughing her ass off “it’s my vibrator!” because of course she stuck it in my bag without telling me but no he did not confiscate it.
