@Mitch Yeah, I got it once I thought about it. I'd never posted one of those before.

@jlliagre That's too long /baggy?
@alphabet On many shopping websites the 2nd image is also referred as beanie.

beanies are suppsosed to be close-fitting for warmth.

@HippoSawrUs Might have to boil it for a while, though.
I just assume that somewhere there exists a Walmart that sells children.

> “The path they’re dragging us down is to occupy, annex, and ethnically cleanse — look at the northern strip,” he said. He also said Israel was being pulled in the direction of building settlements in Gaza, a notion that is supported by far-right politicians in Mr. Netanyahu’s government.
> “It’s hard for me to say this,” he told the Israeli broadcaster Channel 12, adding that Israel’s political leadership was “corrupting the military.” He said the military was ordering the evacuation of towns, believing the move was for operational reasons. But, he suggested, some of Israel’s political leaders actually intend to clear the area for settlements.
Finally somebody actually said that.

Q: "Bobsled" versus "Bobsleigh"

Mehper C. PalavuzlarWhat is the difference between "Bobsled" and "Bobsleigh"? Can they be used interchangeably? Which one is used more widely?

@Robusto To be honest, the 'tacos' at Jack in the Box are better.
@Mitch In my milieu that's called Jack in the Crack. And I don't go there either.
Oh...maybe you were expecting actual tacos? Rookie mistake man. Everything at Taco Bell has its place, but the names are barely suggestions of the shape of what actual tacos or tostadas or enchiladas are.
@Robusto raises eyebrow at milieu
I didn't know you spoke French.
@Mitch Hey, I live in New Mexico, so I have no need of ersatz Mexican food.
@Robusto I'm just sayin... if you add a lot of Taco Bell hot sauce to them, you'd barely notice... well, anything at all.
@Mitch How's your weather up there, btw?
14:55
Ersatz? Now you speak German?
Ketchup ketchup ketchup!
I just said hello and hood day to you in Cantonese!
@Robusto We have some I suppose.
That was not unintentional understatement.
It finally became December in the Boston area yesterday.
@Mitch busy canceling negs
Which is to say, no snow here, but freezing overnight.
Below freezing here atm.
But ... should hit 60 today.
@Robusto oops...there might not be the lack of an extra unintended one not in there.
curses and starts again
15:00
@Robusto Here it'll be sunny, if there's any vicarious consolation in that.
Sunny and coldish.
@Mitch Oh, it'll be sunny here too. And if you're actually in the sun, you're plenty warm at one mile of elevation.
Perfect for sitting in an outdoor cafe with your winter coat on.
Sunny and mild is overrated.
Encourages weakness of spirit.
Give me changing a tire on the traffic side of a car, in the cold, and slight drizzle.
At night.
@Mitch And all the lugs you drop roll under the car.
What the hell throw in a serial killer stalking roadside tire changers.
@Robusto sigh
one just rolled into the storm drain.
grinds teeth
@alphabet I really don't know how to process 'naur' for the Australian pronunciation of 'no'.
If you pull up the storm drain grate you'll find a wealth of lugs and lug nuts.
15:09
That 'r' has to be non-rhotic. Yet what's left is ugh
@Robusto Jackpot!
I'll be belle of the ball at the nearest garage.
This is why I always stop for people changing tires at night in the rain on the traffic side. You won't believe what they'll pay for my cache of lugs and lug nuts.
Venmo makes everything so much easier these days.
This is how capitalism works.
@Robusto Wait... lug nuts? I though people just douse the tire with gasoline and light it to set the tire into the wheel base?
makes notes
15:12
oh...I get it, you don't want the tire to come off the end of the axle.

@alphabet My uncle's conclusion to nearly everything: "Soylent Green." Haha, really though. He was nonchalant about it: 'Emm, Soylent Green' and 'Two coffees, black, please, in the same cup, consecutively.' I miss him. :-(
@alphabet It's only a few blocks from the Holiday Inn Express. You really don't have to suffer through Walmart for that.
Walmart is where you find good-enough Chinese stuff; all the Chinese crap is sold on Amazon.
Or wherever; I can't read all the tags.
@Mitch I suggested an electric ice cream maker and they looked at me like I was a traitor. Like I said, 'Let's make un-American ice cream' or something. I bought a Cuisinart for 75% off at the PX. That's the American way. Hiring people who mark everything 50% off, twice. That was the best Black Friday ever.
You can just add chocolate-covered cherries to vanilla and be Christmas-y like SNAP.
I miss almost trying. It was fun.

@HippoSawrUs Well, yes, but I also need firearms and I'd rather not have to make two separate trips.

@Robusto thank you. I've only played a few times, don't know if I'm going to make a habit of it

@think_meaning_buildß Unwicked sweat is sweat that remains upon your body instead of being wicked away by magic garments.
21:47
@Robusto Something wicked this way keeps you feeling fresh.
> Huffy Henry hid the day,
unappeasable Henry sulked.
I see his point,--a trying to put things over.
It was the thought that they thought
they could do it made Henry wicked & away.
But he should have come out and talked.
So Henry was not unwicked.
22:36
And the winner is: Brain rot.
