"Freedom, with Love, is the best thing
It gives you a peacefulness inside
And you'll transmit that, I'm sure"

I thought the narrative was that the booming economy was Obama's doing, not that the economy is doing poorly. Which is it again? I haven't been to the meetings in a while.

For a little project I am working on I need the legs for a specific kind of Ikea table (to make my same style table taller, with the taller legs on the other table.)

I do not need the table top.

I had the deliciously evil thought of going to buy the table from someone. Disassembling. Telling them I'm taking round one... then just leaving & letting them figure out what to do with the table top.

(Won't actually do it, but I thought it might give them a nice story to tell people: "And he never came back!")

Why do people decarb avb?
Is that a requirement, or something?

At first I thought this was the meme thread, cause all I really saw were memes or jokes

 

[macbill]

That's a valid random thought: Why do people decarb ABV? Now you just need a good punch line. Welcome to FC.

Thank you! I guess my only punchline right now is the utter confusion.

Why do people decarb avb?

Because they aren't very bright. . .

It takes a really shitty opening band to nearly nullify the effects of the mushrooms I ingested before the
Tool show the other night..........However, the show was SO good that I did not smoke any weed for the whole performance! I know, I know, I used the s word. I just get too skitzo trying to sneak in my latest vape
method into concerts. So I pre rolled a couple, and I never ignited.

The show was so fantastic, that Mrs. cadaver and I will be visiting Vegas in 2020 to watch the entire event.
Being 2 hours away, and over 50 allows me the privilege of departing before the end of the show. I get to
use the restroom and then exit the parking lot, without waiting. See you for the full show in Jan. Maynard!

Saw them a couple weeks back with the wife. I agree great show.


I'm really excited for Heilung in January. That will be a cool experience.

It's crazy what our brain is involved in unconsciously when it comes to operating our body.

Got an offer today I couldn't refuse
Charcoal study for large oil work

I see beauty in irony
Or is it just my booze clouded lens

Charcoal study for large oil work

That charcoal print grabs me.
Any kind of copy available ? Sweet work

 

[ChooChooCharlie]

Sorry, not available
gallery owner offered me this one

no prints made, it was a study work
the oil painting is impressive, and huge

enjoyed chatting with Kazandjian about the piece, riffed on workers inside systems/machines of their own making, like Chaplin's Modern Times

I installed a bidet insert at home. Works very well, saves on TP, sprays that shit right off. When my wife came home I had to show it off. Before I could stop her she lifts the lever and a jet of water hits me right in the face. We laugh.

I have one of the Japanese bidets (they take shittin' seriously) that WARMS the water first.

It. Is. Awesome.

Don't wait until you're old before you learn. Bidets are totally worth it.

This is the $60 poor man's version, but it does have hot water. One can prime the water temperature by activating the self-cleaning nozzle on hot while grunting.

In tourist areas of Tokyo, the bathrooms can be very technologically advanced and automated. I've heard from local family that they often don't like entering a toilet after a Westerner as we don't always wipe the seat after use. Some have instructions in English encouraging this.

On the non-main toilets, I put on a $20 faucet. Straight water from the tap. Better than paper, but...you need to clench a bit before turning it on or it can take your breath away. (It seems they're $36 dollars now. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Brondel...ilet-Seat-Attachment-in-White-FS-10/203159337)

Someone needs to marry the Do-Nothing-Box with an IH.
After 1 minute, the hand comes out and turns off the IH off for you while shouting;
"SHUT THE FUCKING THING OFF NEXT TIME!"
