This is a tough video to watch initially -- a poor homeless dog who had been wrapped around the neck with a tight string, which had caused its head to blow up to the size of a pumpkin -- but I promise, they rescue the dog and everything works out okay.


Ghost bag.

This girl is getting away with a lot of dangerous shenanigans only because she's cute and usually doesn't miss.

Why can you touch very hot things for a split second without injury? Because of the Leidenfrost effect.

Baby panda demands attention!

Intense blue water from The Maldives. Or, as the media now demands I refer to it: "Maldives."

Chameleon catwalk.

Super-helpful kid, should get a merit badge for this.

9 If Gabe or any other person can look at these videos and say these specific drag show performances done in front of children aren't obviously sexual, my only response is they're retarded.

https://bit.ly/3mObh7D

Thong bikinis, over the knee gogo boots, pelvic gyrations, and dance moves used in strip clubs across the country are all overtly sexual. This may be mild compared to what goes on in San Francisco bathhouses, but it does not belong in the schools.

My HOA hired a guy with a herd of goats to clean the underbrush off of a hillside. The duck video reminds me of that.

Amusingly, the area was some sort of protected area and the HOA got hit with massive fines. They tried to extract the fines from homeowners via extra fees and we told them to sit and spin.

Yup. G-d's own perfect monster. Especially crocs. Aside from shrinking in size (and losing the barbed tail), they've been the same for about 100m years. Any animal that hangs around since the Cretaceous Period just doin' his thang, is damned good at it.

The title company does all the work. There should be no more headaches than doing one via real estate agents. And since they are not paying a 4 or 5% commission in theory you should be able to buy it for less, each of you save a few thousand that would otherwise be wasted on agent fees.

92 Homes for sale by owner. When I lived in PA, the city had a large group of new arrivals from the Mid East. First thing on their to do list is open a store and plaster so many ads on the windows you can't see inside. Second is buy a house. Here comes the problem. They were buying and selling houses within their group/tribe, often doing it on the cash and handshake way, and suddenly you had a bunch of screwed up titles.

Surprisingly, there was a unit in Japan, and of course there were no nukes there.

And get *everything* inspected, which may take multiple inspectors. A house we were very interested in had a hinky inspection from a very good inspector, but it seemed to be (ok, I wanted it to be) fixable. Had the septic system inspected over attempts by the owner to talk me out of it. Major problems, no longer met code, and would have had to be completely replaced. That ended that.

126 The fencing at this place belonged to the neighbor. The wood was so rotten you couldn't nail into it. Came out one morning and an entire section was laying on the ground. They finally replaced all of it. We would have had to put in our own fence.
But most of the places I am looking at don't have fencing and I would need to put that in. And some towns require a permit to put in a fence. You have to check.

The realtor informed me that you'd have to dump $20k into it to upgrade it. I was thinking, yeah, to paint everything grey, rip out those cabinets and put in some grey particle board ones. And then put in that dark grey flooring they like to use. I don't watch those home improvement shows so I don't know where the trend is from. But I don't like the ones where they paint the rooms dark colors. It's hard to paint over that. Had to do that in this room.

It's one of the creepiest science fiction stories I've ever read. Weirdly, it's almost the reverse of "Nightfall" by Isaac Asimov.

I once had a "dream" (or nightmare) where I imagined that the night sky started showing "holes" to the reality behind it. It freaked me out...

227 Purdy paint brushes. I did one room of this house but all the rooms and the outside were painted. This room was dark blue (stepson's bedroom) and was painted over a light blue. It wasn't done very well. And I have seen houses with purple and orange rooms. I know of one that is painted purple outside.

But there are things that are a mystery to me, like central heating and air. One house has central gas heating that I believe was installed when it was built in the 40s. It has a very retro look and I assume you'd have to replace it if it dies. But those may be simple units. One house is concrete blocks that looks like bricks. Does it need to be repointed? Probably. I can look this stuff up on You Tube, but it's hard to know what to avoid. And I have no idea what prices are like right now.

252 It's hard to stick to a fast if you have a schedule that's all goofy. A better method may be OMAD or one meal a day. Just eat at dinner time, regular portions.

If you want to lose weight, OMAD basically means you'd have to gorge yourself (on regular non-shit food) to get your total calories so you end up running a continual caloric deficit.

That plus working out will melt pounds. Like anything, one you get past the first few days it gets easy.

263 You have no idea how many times we had to do the paint matching thing. And we found out that, even though two walls seemed to have the same color, they were a little bit different. Some of the mix formulas were still in his account and those were easy. Never want to do that again.

265 >>> Drag queens have no business in front of children. Neither do blonde bombshells stripping, or the Chippendales, or comics that swear a lot, nor should The Godfather be shown to kids in the 3rd grade during social studies class. Anyone that can't grasp this has no business in elementary education. And if they have kids, they should be investigated by child protective services.

Also as ace mentioned men pretending to be women have no business being around children in any attire. Kids shouldn't be immersed in any sort of stark societal disorder. The only reason it is being done is to change them and humanity into something lesser and unstable.

280 Politico headline:
OMG Reeeeeee! The colors Trump picked for the new AF1 are too dark and will be impossible to cool the plane!

Article:Martha Neubauer, a former Boeing engineer who’s now a senior analyst at AeroDynamic Advisory, agreed that Boeing may need to provide additional cooling for a darker color scheme, and at the very least conduct an analysis.
Neubauer said she knows of one Boeing commercial client that considered an all-black exterior for its planes and the team had to analyze whether the aircraft had enough cooling power.

286 Paint matching...

I had a near accident on CA highway 17 many years ago when an idiot tried to merge onto the main drag and jumped a curb, tossing up a lot of shit into the traffic lanes. I was in a BMW 325is and although I slowed and shifted lanes I got clocked with rocks and debris that tore up the front of the car. A local paint shop in Seaside, CA did the repairs. I'll never forget this: a dude comes out with a color wheel and spins off a color to match the bumper and hood. 10 year old paint. Matched.

I've never seen that, but I have found that bathrooms always need primer before applying a new coat. I suspect it's the constant exposure to moisture.

That light french gray color really is fantastic, though. It works everywhere.

Sure, depending on the reference point, you're talking about music that's 40 years old.

If you were born in say 1965, that would be relative to the music of the 20's.
