Random Rants ΠΑ: That's a paddlin'

Which part are you vomiting at, lass?

Where's my bookie? Gimme ten bucks on "slime molds in the back of the refrigerator for over a year."

Small rant: I'm trying to sort out all my Steam and GOG games in Playnite and categorizing them properly. But the genres are a huge mess. I have multiple variations of RPGs, for instance:

• Roleplaying
• Roleplaying game
• RPG
• RPG (Roleplaying)
• RPG (Roleplaying game)

And somehow I ended up with a few duplicated games. A few months ago I finally got a copy of SimCity 4 on GOG.com, but I never got around to uninstalling my old disc-based copy. And a few games that I somehow got on both Steam and GOG.

It's a bit of a mess!

EDIT: Not to mention all the free giveaway games I got off GOG. I don't even know what half of these are.

EDIT: Plus I keep getting distracted with playing the games...

I don't know, Mary's keeping the secret so I'm not sure your bet is that safe. Perhaps she really does mind the senseless destruction of scientific material.

But is was science!
To be fair, she agreed with me about "sending men into space", just not my research methods for ensuring their survival.

I ran out of boxes and had to walk an hour total to fetch more, toting them in a hand truck on the way back. One flew off into the road as I was trying to cross because of course it did. That was the only time any of the boxes grew legs to boot.

We can spot dust, we just don't care.

This. It isn't like Mr Spider behind my bookshelf is harming me. (That is, as long has he stays behind the bookshelf. The moment I see Mr Spider coming toward me he gets squished.)

Your lack of native roots is showing. The wind always blows hardest down streets because it gets a free run with less turbulence. So when you are crossing the street is the most likely time to lose a hat, or in your case a box.

There's no wind in space, Tim.

Cosmic wind has never taken anybody's hat off. QNED.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

How do you know? Maybe a couple million light years away an alien just lost their hat to cosmic wind.

Well, crap. The Garlock Fault is creeping.

At 0:57 I was shocked (and a little delighted) to see that Yanks had copied my old breakfast menu.

I hope you're being sarcastic with that comment. BS like this article makes me want to move.

United We Roll For Canada, who led a convoy of trucks to Ottawa earlier this year to advocate for the nation’s energy sector, announced on social media Wednesday they are planning on congregating at Gorts Truck Wash in Red Deer before driving up Highway 2 to “show Greta we do not need her yelling at us.”

Wow. Such big, brave manly truckers, scared of a kid.

Kenney and his gang of thugs aren't any better.

Well, it is the rants thread...

Removing my nightly breathe right strip tore a chunk of skin off my nose this morning ... the area is all red and sore. Sadly as winter comes on and my skin starts really drying out, I'm prone to random bleeding.
