When we bought our house, all the appliances were new. The roof was “recently” re-shingled and the HVAC wasn’t new, but was in good condition. I said to my wife that is was great but everything was going to fail at the same time.

In the past 3 years we’ve replaced:

1. Roof
2. Fence
3. Garage door opener
4. Dishwasher
5. Clothes washer
6. HVAC
7. Plumbing drain to sewer

The answer will be that these assholes are part of our club, so we’ll be happy to throw money at them. Rich people have class solidarity that would make a Marxist blush.

Used to be me. I ran Debian Unstable for years. Got tired of it breaking. I installed Stable probably 7 or 8 years ago and never looked back.

Nickname from my freshman football coach. If the name is taken, I’ll add my number.

The DMV might actually be sorry about it. The governor (who oversees the DMV) vetoed the bill, but the legislature overrode her veto. If it was up to the governor, this law would have never been in place.

The federal government will be subsidizing Florida homeowners soon enough. Florida is politically important and it’s is everyone’s god-given right to move to somewhere warm when they retire and have their homes rebuilt at no cost to them every 5 years.

I graduated from high school in a small town and in order to go to college of my choice, I had to move. I could have hung out and commuted to a community college, but I wanted the college experience.

If I had to do it all over again, I’d have stayed at home.

I’ve heard people complain that women with small breasts have an unfair advantage in several sports because women with large breasts are weighed down by them.

Time to take 30 minutes to eat your sandwich.

Oddly enough the US Supreme Court took Charles’ arguments to heart by ruling that the President is immune from prosecution for any official acts he takes while in office.

Yes.

I’ve literally done rm -rf / while root. I thought I was elsewhere and did rm -rf . and I was in the top level directory. When it took way longer than I expected, I hit CTRL+C about 10 times and looked at the damage. Oops.

Luckily it didn’t get to /home, but it did wipe out /bin and /etc. I had to rebuild the OS. I learned.

I learned to touch type on QWERTY in middle school. I do it mostly conventionally except for some reason I never really used the right shift key.

Same! Not sure how that came to be? Perhaps because right shift is too far away compared to left?

I never use the right shift key for anything. Any time I need a capital letter, it’s always the left shift even though that’s not 100% correct.

I was in the last class in my high school that was taught to type on an actual typewriter. So yes, I can touch type on QWERTY.

My wife (then girlfriend) took a typing class in college at my insistence that it would help her immensely. She agrees to this day that it was the best decision she ever made with regards to electives. I strongly suggest that everyone should take a typing class, be it free or paid.

This is going to be like pizza.net.

I’m from a small town that has 3 factories in it. They employ a good portion of the area.

A friend of mine who was pretty socially awkward but really smart worked in one of the factories in the summers while he was going to college for accounting. He got his degree and…moved back home. He still works at the factory full time on the floor. We graduated high school in 2002.

Guys, if you don’t want to watch the halftime show, don’t watch it. I don’t know why people feel the need to announce that they won’t and get upset that other people will still watch it.

I mean, my brother in christ, I don’t watch Dave Chappelle’s standup specials anymore, but you don’t hear me posting about it every time he’s got a new one out.

Buy a professional sports team in the USA.

This is an incorrect interpretation of the poll. The AfD would be the largest party in the Bundestag, but that doesn’t mean they would form a government. After coalition discussions, it could easily be CDU/CSU leading the way.

Edit: To be clear, this kind of support for the AfD is a really bad sign, but it doesn’t mean they’d form the government.
