Be careful that she’s not sensitive to the metal. A lot of metal items contain nickel or tin that can cause an allergy-like reaction called contact dermatitis if left in contact with the skin for a long time.

Some people are more sensitive to it than others so maybe it will be fine, but I sure wouldn’t want a surprise in my underwear

In addition this was back when airlines had strong restrictions on wireless being used on planes, so many devices had physical switches to turn WiFi/Bluetooth off. Maybe it’s still turned off

I called 911 a few years ago and they had a police officer call me back when he got to my neighborhood. I had to do this a few times as the incident repeated a few days later. Each time the officer called me his number was hidden.

That’s the only time I’ve ever had a call from a hidden number that was not a scam, but I would be hesitant to block them all

That also makes it illegal to nuke hurricanes

It’s not a dad joke unless it’s apparent

To my untrained eye it looks like raspberry. Raspberry plants propagate through underground runners, which just look like any random stick

I have some bad news for you - any random idiot with a driver’s license and a two-ton death machine already puts your ass at risk, all the time. We call it “traffic” because we’ve just gotten used to it

Everyone I know who has had a skunk spray was due to one of two causes:

1). They ran it over with their car or 2). Their dog attacked it

In general skunks are very reticent to actually spray. I’ve never known anyone to get it from just walking by. I knew someone who blocked a skunk with their shoe from running in the house, because they mistook it for their cat.

From what I understand, they have poor eyesight and hearing, so in my experience they usually don’t even notice you. They are a wild animal though so the important thing would be to not surprise them. I think if you make noise, keep your distance, and never corner one you should be fine.

I’ve seen some commenters say they messaged her but got no reply

That stuff is great but always be sure to clean your tools right away when you’re done. When it’s wet you can just clean it with plain tapwater but once it sets it is impossible to get it out of the mixing bit, for example. Also, never mix too much at a time because it sets so quickly

“Three economy” really means “rich people’s money” and the filthy rich have been doing just fine

I find that people often say this when what “it is” is something too ugly to name. “It is what it is” is true, but sometimes what “it is” is that the speaker is a racist defending another racist

What a world we have created where “we won’t have to work anymore” means “we’re all doomed”

We could be creating a new utopia, but we know the people in power will hoard every scrap

I came to the comments to mention that exact experience. There must be historical reasons that SCP uses -P and SSH uses -p but I certainly didn’t expect it since they’re both from the same package (openssh)

Shelled and unshelled both also mean unshelled and shelled, respectively

The banana is one of the earliest cultivated plants. It is specifically cultivated, by humans, precisely to be the best fruit possible.

Bananas rule, and we can thank their creator: 10,000 years of human ingenuity

What is this sorcery? My electronics corner is a fire hazard. Some of the cables are weight bearing

Oh, baseball! That makes much more sense.

For some reason I had assumed it came from tabletop gaming, where your model’s base much touch another player’s base in order to whisper to them

I’m losing friends for loosing dogs on useless losers’ loose use of lose and loose
