Thanks for taking my trolling in good stride. I actually loved the internet of 20 years ago. It was totally different from today, it's actually a shame a lot of the way it was is gone forever. I vividly remember frequenting a few blogs, just slow chatting in the comments, making your own response images, hosting your own stuff like these images, sound clips and whatever else. Most ISP's would give you some server space to host your own static html pages, and lot's of people used this. The blogs would host photoshop contests, link to stuff they liked, reported on news or music or whatever their niche. The blogs I visited are mostly still around today, but they just don't draw the engagement anymore.

Usually it's just regular raw onion. And there's actually a lot of taste in the herring due to gibbing.

I learned with the right hand, because I went to a backwater school where it was assumed everyone was right handed, and probably my parents never gave attention to these things.

I have a video on my phone of a guy playing the tune on guitar to prank his wife/girlfriend!

the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be

A communication network for scientists and the military?

20+40*1-20. The first 20 you had already.

Reacher series is quite a nice read, except for a few. I've read the long earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter in the last two weeks. The books start slow, but are great page turners. Yesterday I started "Children of time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I had the book on my e-reader for some time, so I decided I should start reading it allready. Normally I'm more for the space opera type of books, so I'll see what I make of it.

LOL, this reminds me of an old viral clip in the Netherlands, where a woman stated "my husband is not an alcoholic, just a standard drinker." The husband then proceeded simming up his standard drink behaviour, which amounted to something like three beers and seven shots of jenever each day.

Or maybe they just stand out holding the guitar upside down, making people see a pattern that isn't really there. For instance, while Jimi Hendrix played the guitar upside down, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck did not.

But, it is plausible you didn't flip 50:50 since the 50:50 is on average.

 

The toilet seat in the bathroom upstairs has two part hinges, where you mount two pins on the toilet and snap the seat and lid on. Something broke in the snapping part this week. Fixed it by removing some plastic from the clamping mechanism, put some epoxy putty in there and around the pins, then placed the seat back. It's still on there today, so it worked I guess.
