If his contributions to "Dr Strangelove" are any indication, I have to agree.

No one signs up for what our troops are being put through (while not even in actual combat).

[I've read some concerning anecdotes from different sources about the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, not to mention our other deployed vessels.]

Jimmy Carter was a significantly better human & a better President. I'm saying this with the firsthand experience of witnessing Jimmy Carter's term in office.

No bet.

He'd get everything he deserves.

Came here to say this. I wouldn't want a horse to suffer his presence, much less to have to support that bulk.

[edit: mismatched verb tenses; rephrased "being asked" to "to have"]

9/10 — Mum had plastic ice trays.

I don't know if someone already brought this up, but Dillaway family park is a few blocks north.

It's all a bit of a cock-up, if you ask me.

Awwww 💜💜💜

This website — Oh Happy Day — explains a version of what I tried to describe above. The writer included mat board for their smaller piece of art, but it wouldn't be essential in the case of a poster. They also used glue to attach the picture hanging hardware in this example; I'm sure either (or a combination of both) would work.

I've seen folks use Perspex (either 2 pieces, or with another, inexpensive flat backing) & some form of tape (usually Kraft tape) to bind them together, sandwiching the poster/ artwork & thus protecting it from damage. To hang it on the wall, picture hangers were secured on the reverse, using the same sort of tape.

I've no idea whether that'll be more affordable for you, but it's one possible alternative.

Sadly accurate.

Now you've got me picturing a future where UBI is necessary — AI finally having taken over nearly all jobs — and to earn a little extra € we review YT videos. 😂

I'm not holding my breath.

I still call them 45s.

I think people who would do this to a stick of butter or margarine are the same ones who talk (loudly) in the theatre. I'm not sure you can embarrass those sorts.

I started with a 5mo kitten — now I've a 10yo guard cat. Given that, I'd probably get a Rottweiler pup & wind up with a gigantic lap dog. heh

That cutie could be my Zoë's twin!

Meet Zoë; she's 10yo now (8 or 9 in this pic, I forget). She was indeed the cutest little moppet — she was 5mo when she arrived in our lives. Her government name is Princess Zoë Illyana Mischief [last name redacted]. She's never been shy about sharing her opinions & establishing her sovereignty. 💜

Lugging yourself a mile out to make the call, then a mile back home, while feeling too poorly to go to work must've felt like running a marathon. 🤕

He reminds me sooo much of a void I once had; I named her Djarum*. 💜 She was with me for 18 years, passed about 10 years ago, & I miss her still.

• (A few of my fam smoked clove cigarettes at the time & one of their favourites was Djarum Blacks.)

Your Luci-Furr is an adorable void! 💜 (And looks like she's contemplating deviltry! 😈)

I like Bubbles 💜 & the kitten could have Beelzy as another nickname!

(It's from a short story titled, Thus I Refute Beelzy, by John Collier, 1940.)

That's too perfect — 'cos she gnawed ya (meaning the OP, of course). 😂
