How about generic guys with no special talents in particular but the gift of gab?

Okay, now do Chocolate Rain

All of them for a brief time, but then only one: quickest to be dethroned from every single world record.

This is all good advice. I just wanted to point out that most of the traps on Amazon are knockoffs of the Flip & Slide from Rinne Corp. Shawn Woods covers it here on Mousetrap Mondays: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pHwvVPT202Y

His channel is great, and I believe he mentions in a later video that besides stealing Rinne’s design, many of the knockoffs don’t work as well due to sloppier manufacturing tolerances. I’ve ordered from them (both this design and Shawn Wood’s Dizzy Dunker) and I felt better than if I had bought a counterfeit through Amazon.

It’s only been twelve weeks

Hey now, the only ones who get to stay on self-monitored house arrest are rich people.

Close, but somehow that’s even worse than how I’m reading it: “If I was a bubble in your bath I’d tickle your bum and make you laugh”

I’m so sorry for both of your losses. I wish I could tell you that it gets easier but so far, one year on, it hasn’t. I suppose the corollary of them being your best friend is that one day, all too soon, you’re saying goodbye to your best friend. I hope you have nice memories together to cherish. (Also I adopted another little guy in need before I was emotionally ready, and that ended up being the best decision.)

It’s all the more (mildly) infuriating that it’s happening while trying to buy tickets for a local punk band and not a big act like The Sellouts.

Perhaps Jason Statham can be part of the solution, a la The Beekeeper

And by then they’ll already have declared martial law.

Thank you - I’ll check them out. I had switched from most American news to BBC World, Al Jazeera, or NHK World News years ago, but I’m thankful to have another international source of information beyond our domestic Real Housefascists of DC.

Could I ask which news source it is?

This is cool - I hadn’t heard of it. This article describes it (while being suspiciously similar to the press release itself): https://newatlas.com/automotive/mahle-perfect-electric-motor/

What’s the last significant tech development you remember? They’re all just monopolistic lobbying firms.

I have really high hopes that Ladybird picks up the slack

May the shittiest company lose (before both being blasted into the sun)

Run the hell away from humans

This is verifiably false. Anyone on here just cannot shut up about being on here (sample size = 1).
