Rocketpoweredgorilla, to historyporn in American professor standing beside two massive guards of the personal retinue of the Maharaja of Kashmir, 1903
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

One of the giants was 7’9” tall (2.36 m) while the “shorter” one was a mere 7’4” tall (2.23 m) and according to various sources they were indeed twin brothers. They created quite an impression at the Durbar as they literally stood heads and shoulders above the rest. The brothers were known as the Two Kashmir Giants and were elite riflemen in the service of the Maharaja. rarehistoricalphotos.com/kashmir-giants/

So ya they were pretty big.

@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

I guess they have their use, but I dislike green extension cords. my daughter has a few of them, and she tends to leave them laying in the grass when I go over to mow her yard.

She now has a few shorter ones.

Rocketpoweredgorilla, to piracy in Hollywood to UK Govt: Investigating Pirates "Increasingly Difficult" * TorrentFreak
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

They like to whine and cry that piracy makes them lose money, but the opposite is true (at least in my case.) I wouldn’t have bought half the games I did if I hadn’t first pirated them to try them out. I’m certainly not tossing $60+ dollars on something I “might” like otherwise.

@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

I accidentally added blue fluid to pink fluid when I refilled my car, now every time I change lanes my car goes into a gender reveal party mode.

Am I the only one that enjoyed night shifts? Less traffic, no big bosses around to mess things up or get in the way, no scheduled meetings or other distractions… just do your job and go home. And you can still run around to appointments etc and get stuff done during the day when everything is open without taking time off work.

Mind you, I’ve always been a night owl so that probably helps my perspective…

“But ma airflow!” they’ll counter, seemingly oblivous to the fact that even the t-600 Kenworths have a smaller grill and work just fine.

@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

What adblocker? I’m using Ublock Origin and have no issues.

Rocketpoweredgorilla, (edited ) to comicstrips in Are you a "Reply after 6 minutes person" or a "Reply after 16 hours person"?
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

My ex sent me a text asking a question, I didn’t respond when I noticed it because she would have been asleep and promptly forgot about it. In three weeks it’ll be two years.

I should wait until then and reply with a simple “Nope”.

Rocketpoweredgorilla, (edited ) to piracy in Where to find torrents?
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

1337x.to not xx.to

I have no idea who xx.to is… it’s not on the list of alternate domains so I’m a bit leery of that one.

Although I’m not finding dutch there, bt4gprx.com has it but I’d be cautious with some of those.

@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

All 5 of my cats were strays/born from strays. Plus there’s another 10 strays outside near my place that I’ve been taking care of, and sheltering from the cold.

And I’m not even a cat person. I’ve been pussy whipped by their cuteness.

Edit: Seriously, it’s impossible to say no to something like this. https://i.imgur.com/yG60ahB.jpg

Rocketpoweredgorilla, to comicstrips in Buying a dog
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

I had/have 5 cats. (All formerly strays.) This summer, 2 local strays gave birth near my house. I spent the summer trying to make friends with them and mostly succeeded with the exception of the one stray momma who will come up to the house for treats and food, but still doesn’t like me touching her. So now I guess I have 14 cats unofficially, and the resistant momma will make 15 if I emerge victorious. (Obviously I can’t take them all in to the house but I have a shed I can keep warm for them in the winter to make their lives a little easier.)

Now I’m saving extra money and me and my neighbor are chipping in together to get them all fixed. We’re probably going to have to trap “Smokey” (The one momma who still doesn’t quite trust me yet) to get her done while we try and find homes for all these adorable rodents. Not something I can really afford at the moment, but I’m still going to do as much as I can for them.

It sounds like we may have found a home or two for at least a few of them, so that’s a bonus at least.

Wrong game. Minetest, not Minecraft.

There must have been something more than just oil in whatever he dumped in there.
