And now I need to make a 3D printed mold in a comfortable shape that can be used to easily cast concrete around a lighter.

Maybe a simple cylinder, with the lighter off center so it can easily be flicked?

Maybe I’ll squish some play-doh around one and scan it and use that.

Whatever, it just needs to be too big to “accidentally” end up in someone’s pocket.

Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.

Huh, you know maybe knowing the origin of the joke affects how I determine whether it’s derogatory or not?

I did not think about that, but looking back, seems like an easy pitfall.

Good point.

Honesty, I think it would be fairly easy to figure out.

If it is derogatory - homophobe.

If it points out an idiosyncracy, and makes fun of it - queer, or at least not homophobe.

In my experience, bgoted people make jokes that insult and/or demean those people they hate. It is not done primarily to be funny, but to hurt and demean. Making it funny just helps spread it around.

Ooooohhh yeah…

How about a 6 pin connector?

Cable side connector with strain relief. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT06SE-10-6P-SR/341057

Bulkhead connector. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-industrial-operations/PT02SE-10-6S/341071

To include or exclude the strain relief, add or remove the “(SR)” from the part number.

That is the male side of a bullet connector. You need to either get the corresponding female connector and crimp it on the other wire, then plug them in, or cut it off and use a butt splice to join the two wires.

A good driver will occasionally miss exits - a bad driver NEVER will!

Are we not doing “phrasing” anymore?

My favorite to hold you over until you find it.

Yes, but if your caregiver gets sick, either they have to find coverage while they are sick, or you do on short notice.

With a company, they can reassign someone to fill in with little disruption (theoretically). The reality is, they are struggling with hiring and keeping people for all of the reasons listed in this thread, so even if you hire a company, maybe you will get someone to cover for your regular, or maybe you won’t.

Representing the Tappet Brothers!

Interesting. I knew they made some sounds, but not that many!

I learned my lesson about ‘lifetime’ updates with a Tom Tom GPS unit, from the late '90s, maybe early 2000s. After about 4 or 5 years I couldn’t install the latest map updates, so I contacted CS. They said, “Oh yeah, lifetime means the time of the expected life of the unit, which is 4.5 years. We don’t support that model anymore. Any other questions?”

Calculon?

Looks similar to a tool for bedding a rifle barrel in a wood stock.

Yup. I hesitated when I should have bought one in 2022 and now their prices are back up.

I’ve been sitting in the same Steelcase Leap V2 for 8 years at work and it is still comfortable. I love it. When my current chair at home dies (it’s good, but not “Steelcase” good) I’m biting the bullet and getting the Leap V2 at home as well.

You mean Aunt Bunny?

She can’t walk down a flight of stairs…

But I bet she can climb the fuck out of a tree!

I haven’t heard that routine in 20 years at least, but I listened to that cassette tape for months on end.
