CADmonkey,

Like drop the macho act and ask for help, buddy. It’s ok.

And watch the people who said they cared suddenly get real scarce.

I wish it wasn’t that way, and I’m happy it’s no longer that way for me. But there are people around you right now who know of they speak up, loved ones and friends will tell them “it’s no big deal” or “It’s all in your head” or my favorite, “man up”.

CADmonkey,

The thing I keep thinking about, and I feel like I’ve never been able to properly communicate, is that the machines our society runs on are built to run in a certain temperature range.

The 2021 texas winter fiasco was a perfect demonstration of what happens when we try to run a society’s machinery outside of it’s expected temperature range. Yes, the ERCOT goofballs were trying to save money by narrowing that expected operating range because “It never gets that cold” and “It never gets that hot”, but my badly articulated point still stands - a system was made to operate in a temperature range outside of it’s capability, and it started to fail. They were minutes away from losing very expensive and hard to replace equipment. What we don’t want is for one of the more competently-run power grids in the world to start to buckle due to temperatures, because the same thing that happened in texas could happen on a larger scale.

And that’s just talking about the power grid. Anything with a heat exchanger in it, including your car and air conditioner and all the refrigeration that is needed to keep everyone fed, is designed to run in a certain temperature range, and will stop working if you run it outside of that range for too long.

But wait, we can just design stuff to run in a wider temperature range! We certainly can. But we would have to redesign everything that moves heat around.

CADmonkey,

The titty of the polar vortex sags ever southward.

CADmonkey,

Before or after you drop a book on your face?

For me it’s usually “after”.

CADmonkey,

Didn’t they do the first interracial kiss on TV? And there was the episode with these guys in it?

I doubt she’s seen a single episode lol.

But since she is so worried about whatever “woke” is, she should be made to watch Andor.

CADmonkey,

I have everything lying around to build one of these…

CADmonkey,

“Hey, go easy on Jim, he’s teething this week.”

CADmonkey,

Disc golf > ball golf. Don’t need a perfectly manicured unnatural lawn for disc golf, in fact that makes it a lot less fun.

CADmonkey,

I had a first gen Rx-7 and for a while the metering pump quit… and I ran premix like a two stroke until I could get a new one.

CADmonkey,

This has less to do with pornography than it does normalizing one more goddamn camera.

Say it again for the people in the back.

CADmonkey,

Karlach, all the way. And not just because she’s a 7ft tall beast of a woman with a machine for a heart who “Winks at her foes as she slays them”, but because her personality is very close to my wife’s.

Also, there is a specific scream that Karlach does when enraged that flips all my switches.

CADmonkey,

Depressed middle age father here, and this tracks. I seem to get a lot of positive attention from women of all ages, and I refuse to believe that I’m good looking.

CADmonkey,

Its also easier to see someone standing in front of that KW than in front of a 2023 Silverado.

CADmonkey,

I have a Samurai, this is accurate.

CADmonkey,

Because of a roommate I had around 2006-2007, I don’t have to try very hard to imagine.

CADmonkey,

I watched an interview with Wes Chatham (the actor who plays Amos) and something he did to play the part better was asking a psychologist to read “The Churn” and explain what someone who grew up in that situation would act like.

CADmonkey,

I looooove that I can save my game in BG3 at basically any time, and I love even more that I can walk away from the game for a minute, even mid-combat, to do something.

CADmonkey,

Just had to do this to my wife’s computer for the first time. Mine hasn’t needed it just yet.

CADmonkey,

This adult is excited to ride his motorcycle home after work, excited to take an edible and play whatever video game I have been playing, go ride bicycles with my kid, maybe read a book, and definitely practice cooking. When it’s bedtime I have to go lie down next to a nice thick woman with long red hair and a sex drive that I am doing my best to keep up with.

I don’t understand why I have this life. I wish others could be as happy.

CADmonkey,

It’s mostly because people in the US don’t drink much hot tea. Coffee is more popular here, and dedicated coffee makers are very common.

CADmonkey,

My wife hated Syril’s mom. Mostly, its because Syril’s mom acts like her mom, only less hostile.

CADmonkey,

I was invited to a rural party for new years, I’m pretty sure it was 2003-2004. I drank entirely too much, and saw some friends crushing beer cans, and was inspired. I found an old 55-gallon steel drum, put a bunch of water in it, and rolled it into the bonfire. Once steam was shooting out, I put the bungs back on it and rolled it into the pond. After a few minutes, there was a metallic “bang” and the drum was folded in on itself.

The guy who invited me to the party told everyone for years that I used my head to crush a steel drum.

CADmonkey,

I remember AOL on 3.5 floppies. You could put tape over a specific hole and re-use the disk.

CADmonkey,

Fun fact, this is part of the reason so many cars are silver, white, or black now. A lot of base models of cars are only available in those three colors, along with maybe red. To get a different color, you have to get an upgraded package… and there’s your $1k price jump.
