Crazy how this meme is supposedly almost a decade old and this is the first time I've ever seen it.

A couple of years ago they were talking about some of the teams implementing Dyneema sections into parts of the jersey where road rash was most common, or problematic.

Haven't heard a peep about it since.

I have one, but it only gets used a few of times a month. Usually by my wife when she just wants to make a small amount of coffee in the French press, or to boil water for instant foods. If you don't really drink tea, they aren't that useful for the amount of counter space they take up, and I can see why they aren't as common here as they are in the UK.

It runs most switch games better than the switch. You just can't play any of them online. (At least not easily, AFAIK.)

I can kind of understand the people who speed up audiobooks and podcasts. But movies? That's nuts. |

I wonder if OP was alive during the VCR era. I bet they would have loved the FF button. AKA chipmunk mode.

Most of the people I know who went antivax during covid are very specifically antivax about the covid vax only. They are afraid of the mRNA tech, they think it's going to modify their genes or some BS. It really is political BS though. During the pandemic, the right wing decided to make this an issue, and they stick with it.

The oldies station I grew up listening to in my moms car gave me a love for mo-town, 60s rock, etc. I tuned into it on test a stereo at my parents house the other day and Biggie was playing.

Most Americans opt to have their employer take the taxes out and send them to the government for them. But its not required, we can choose to receive all of our pay and take responsibility for sending the government their cut ourselves. Its a PITA, but some opt to put their taxes in an account to earn interest for a year before paying the government. They view paying monthly as "giving the government a free loan."

When you have your employer do it for you, your pay stub breaks down the amount you started with and how much was taken out for each tax. We can see what we are paying in tax on every paycheck which is why so many Americans complain about it.

My wife hates our "ugly" fridge that came with our house. It's about 25 years old works perfectly, even the ice maker. She is a frugal person that can't justify replacing it until it breaks. Yet it keeps on ticking. Everyone I know who has a fridge made in the last 10 years has a broken ice maker. I'm happy with the "ugly" perfectly functional fridge.

That's true. It hasn't mattered for me, as I have never removed any from the lights I blocked with it. I would assume the purpose made stickers would be better about residue if they need to be removed.

It probably helps that they are targeting decent, normal working immigrants, who are unlikely to be armed.

If they were actually going after armed gang members, they probably would be getting shot. But as we can tell by the fact they are hiding their faces, they are chicken shit losers cosplaying as tough guys targeting defenseless people because it's easier.

He didn't want you listening to her music. But I bet he would have appreciated you putting a poster of her over your bed.
