I moved from Texas to Connecticut this summer and my property taxes got cut in half and my homeowners insurance is now $10k less a year. My new house cost twice as much as my old one and my mortgage only went up $100.

I was watching Wednesday and was wondering what was up with pilgrim hats. Turns out it was a 19th century Victorian invention that has stuck around to today.

You might want to rethink the nightshirt because it has an Ebeneezer Scrooge vibe to it.

In the episode he did on it he had to borrow it from Pat the NES Punk. Of course that was 14 years ago, so I assume he could have gotten his hands on them since.

Out of curiosity, what would you plug those into to get the best use of them? I couldn’t imagine the headphone jack on my motherboard would be able to take full advantage of them.

Back around this time I was in the military and each base had Public Folders in Outlook where people could post stuff for sale. I left my computer unlocked one day and one of my colleagues posted my car for free on there. This was also back when you would have like 25 MB mailbox limits. Needless to say my inbox got filled up in minutes.

We have Enzo Ferrari being a prick to thank for the birth of Lamborghini, the Shelby Cobra AC, and the Ford GT40

I was talking to a friend there and he told me people in the suburbs are having trouble getting their lawns mowed now. So glad I got out of there.

Lucas Limon - I never understood how kids could eat. Even before they found lead in it.

Got to keep the TV boxes in case you ever move. TV moving boxes are ridiculously expensive.

Kristen Schaal - I absolutely hated her in 30 Rock and that just stuck with me. But I’m starting to come around since What We Do in the Shadows. I also never had a problem with her voice acting.

The man smoked 3-4 packs of cigarettes a day, so that’s all you could smell. Thankfully we didn’t have to sleep there. My parents would have us stay at the motel/grocery/gas station/bar/restaurant/video store/boat rental/fish license place in town.

That’s good to know. She for sure has the husky undercoat. When she was a puppy she feels into the pool when it was 20° out. I took her to the vet to get her checked out and they told me she was just fine because of the undercoat.

The only reason we went so short is because we are moving to Connecticut and our new house is in a very wooded area. So ticks are a real threat. Since we don’t have a lot of experience dealing with ticks we decided to cut it short so we can better see them.

Of course she is on Frontline but still didn’t want her giving them a ride back into the house with all her fur. Once we get settled and are able to assess the property and hopefully get some tick defense stuff in place, we’ll let it grow out again.

I’ll be sure to keep an extra eye on her when she’s outside. She’s such a cold weather dog that she sits in the shade almost exclusively unless it’s the dead of winter. But that is in Texas. I’m sure she’s going to love Connecticut.

Also, since it always comes up, she was found on the streets so we don’t know her back story, but had her DNA tested. She is:

• 39.3% Siberian Husky
• 17.1% Cocker Spaniel
• 15.2% Bichon Frise
• 8.8% Pomeranian
• 5.3% German Shepherd Dog
• 4.7% Maltese
• 9.6% Supermutt (with traces of Alaskan Malamute and Small Poodle)

The Husky and German Shepherd Dog come from Mom. Dad was everything else.

Reminds me of my hermit uncle who used to clean the beer cans off of his floor with a rake before we would come visit.

A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn’t feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don’t know how long

Might as well throw some Artax memes in while we’re at it

Can confirm, I’m right on the edge of Gen-X and Millennials. I was the only one of my friends who had a computer pretty much all the way through elementary school. And the only reason we had computers in our house was because my dad was a computer engineer. By the time I was in highschool pretty much everyone had at least a family computer.

A fellow nano user! There are dozens of us!

I was making salsa and the recipe called for a clove or garlic. I thought the entire bulb was a clove. After I chopped up and added like 5 or 6 of them my wife came in and saw what I was doing and put a stop to it. But seriously, that was the best damn salsa I’ve ever had.
