Oh, like a more sophisticated version of the old "put your phone in the microwave"joke!

Thank you, kind person.

So I know nothing and just wandered in here from Top, but this translates as, “Fuck you, all of you, French language, I show you my butthole,” right?

With no paper involved, “tablet” makes even less sense. I’m quite old, it’s not an age thing.

Given how you’re using it, you could further confuse her by calling it a “chock.”

Okay but why go to Burger King except maybe to ask, “where can I get some good food in this town?” Surely the waitstaff in other places would have at least the same education.

I believe you meant “raising hell” as in bringing it too the surface of Earth and recruiting Satan’s legions to fight with you, not razing hell as in cutting it down, because how would that help?

Oh c’mon, I just had the sudden urge to say “irregardless!” and decided not to resist it for once.

Irregardless!

Don’t use nose tissues as toilet paper!

They’re made stronger for sneezes, not designed to “dissolve.”

They’ll gunk up your pipes !

I, on the other hand, am such a pedant I will point out that twats is plural, not possessive, so it doesn’t get an apostrophe. Upvoted your comment, though.

Along the same lines, I’m getting close to Medicare age and swamped with ads for “Medicare Advantage” plans which are for-profit and notorious for denial of care. Meanwhile I can’t even get government information about Medicare itself and/or basic supplement plans for another few months. I know that if you start with Advantage it can be very difficult to get back to real Medicare and exclusion of preexisting conditions can apply, just like in pre-Obama days.

Thank Time I’m so old both i and my offspring are done with all that, but looks like it’s delayed again this year…

Agreed on most points but any political “swag pinned to your bag” would be illegal within 100 feet of a polling place

Oh no! I liked your pigeon post. I’m raising mourning doves on my balcony… Actually I’m just throwing out hulled sunflower seeds every morning, but the family that eats them is up to 12 members now. Maybe not for long, because a young redtailed hawk has joined the neighborhood, and last night we heard a great horned owl for the first time ever.

In addition to making the show sound more authentic, there’s a bonus tourism boosting angle: “filmed before a live studio audience” that could include YOU!

One fun thing to do when visiting relatives come to Los Angeles is to go be part of the studio audience of a favorite show. And it’s free. (Maybe not some shows, I haven’t done research.) We took my cousin to “Jeopardy!” back when Trebek was host. Watching later we could hear his distinctive laugh. And it was fun to know the winner ahead of time.

Long is okay, because it’s also the most accurate answer

I don’t sit on my balcony despite the table and chairs I have out there, but I have lots of plants that soften the view and spark joy. It’s also a place the firefighters could pluck me from.

Even if you don’t care, it’s probably a good idea to at least pay attention to the announcement of a new baby, because this is a new person, who will be a significant influence on their life and may have some impact on your own. Later on, it’s considered polite to at least ask "and how’s (name of spouse) and (name of child or children, or you can say “the kids”). One isn’t expected to remember every detail, but at least acknowledge they exist.

Real Linux aficionados don’t have cars; that would require leaving the basement.

One use for a phone book was to prop a little kid in a regular chair so they could eat at the table. Like, after they outgrew a baby highchair and could balance on their own. Also you could prove your strength by ripping one in half.

Listings were usually under the name of the adult male, for safety as well as sexism. A woman living alone would probably use just her initials for safety.

If I have a bulky item to discard, I call 311 or use the My311 app to arrange city pickup, and put it by the curb the day before. It’s my hope that none will still be there by the time the truck arrives. Because that means it’s being used by someone, which is better for everyone. If it’s a neighbor, that’s cool too.

At least he took the precaution of having something to kibble on besides more edibles
