When I was a small child I got this little air powered toy car for Christmas. I played with it for like an hour before thinking "I wonder how this works - if I cut this tube will it stop working?"

So anyways I cut the tube and it stopped working, and I ran to my dad crying and said I cut it while opening the package.

As a Californian I can say our state has the will and the means to resist the worst of what's happening. Arguably this puts a target on our back, but of anywhere in the country I feel safest here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think basketballs fit in those /s.

I'm a big fan of small laptops, but 7" seems a bit small. (I used a 7" tablet for my first year of undergrad, and a 12" Thinkpad for my final two years, and the 12" was by far a better experience). I'll keep this bookmarked though since it seems interesting.

I have to avoid certain supermarkets because they only sell pre-moldy strawbs.

Some kind of Abyssal demon?

Is there a solution to this? It's been bothering me more recently since my wife bought me a nice pillow

90% live in CA, TX, and NYC! Sounds right to me I can't think of a single other large metro area or anything like that.

Funnily enough my fabric softener is transparent and my dishwasher detergent is fully opaque.

 

Don't really care that this probably isn't the best community to post this, I just plugged a pipe that got ripped out by a tree three years ago that I've been putting off ever since and now I'll be riding that high the rest of the summer.

I do this constantly, and also just had a bowl of ice cream while lying in bed...

I buy myself time by saying "what's the word for..." and by the time I've said that, or perhaps because I primed my brain for it, I immediately remember, and finish by asking what the word for the word I'm thinking of is, which ends up confusing more people than if I hadn't tried to remember the word at all.
