  Chuck Norris did. And just doing that doubled the length of time of the eclipse as the sun was scared to come back out.

  What's Better?: You can keep reading GoldLeader's Status Update replies or get poked in the head with something that's only kinda sharp?

  I'm tellin' ya, a game where Mario, Sonic, Master Chief, Pac-Man, the Landers from Defender, Q*Bert, K.C. Munchkin, Tron, and the Centipede all have superpowers and live together in a super high-tech undersea fortress and fight crime would be an awesome game. Then on weekends they all party down Saturday Night Live style, and you get to go along with them. Also there are some aliens and shooting stuff and driving. The Kerbal Space Program takes them to the moon, too.
  
  This is the game that Atari needs to make as a VCS exclusive.

just got a nice screen protector for my iPad mini. After taking about 40 min to assure not air bubbles or dust were present I managed to apply it, very pleased with result. Best of all with the stylus has a little drag now and matte finish so not so smooth like on glass, feels more like paper. Tested to make sure, hey I’m no pro but it’s honest art at least 😛to be fair I used the simplest drawing program, no layers or magnification, literally the same as drawing with colored pencils so I am pleased. At least I can make something without a reference. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  If it took 40 minutes, it probably was good that you didn't bite your lip in the process.

  To celebrate Women's Day, upon the request from one of our female employees, today we lowered the volume on the lunch room speaker so she could hear what she was thinking. Wasn't that a nice gesture?

😝🤷 Found two of these fellas sitting down on our lobby "help yourself" shelf. Any idea who this character is? Is he like a bargain bin version of some other character? I can't find any identifying brand marks on him. 😆

  Well, you could give one the smell test. If it has that strong, plastic smell that many cheap toys have from China, then it's likely from a Dollar store.

  If you still use a landline grab the V-tech behind them. Excellent phone.

  @Crash7 Indeed, I brought the figures up, this is the corner of my desk! Yes, we still use a landline because we get maybe 20 calls a year that aren't marketing or the wrong number 🤷‍♂️Landline plus Ignite Internet 1.5 Gigabit plan. All we need, we don't have, use or need mobile phones because when we are out and about phone calls can wait, our devices (her iPhone and my iPad Mini 5 and Android phone) can access Free Shaw WiFi with wide overage throughout the city. It's funny though because so many people, services and companies are STUNNED that we exist without mobile phones in 2024 🧐anytime we are asked for our cell number and explain neither of us has them we always get a pause or a deer in the headlights look from them, yes one CAN exist with mobile phone service, it can be somewhat inconvenient at times sure, and some react like we are Luddites or something, hilarious since my wife handles I.T. support for the provinces health authority and I been into tech since I first saw a pixel on a screen. It's about "choice" and not buying something simply because everyone else does. Now my wife DOES have an iPhone SE and for the first time this year, as we head to Mexico for a week's vacation, she has contracted an E-Simm service data plan just for the duration of our trip, this will cost bout $ 12 USD 😝

It's 10:07 pm, as midnight approaches THIS is the face of man about to turn 56! Muh birthday 🤷‍♂️😝More than ever I am happy and appreciate the little things, a good meal, a nice drink, indulging in hobbies and appreciating friends and family.

  I don't know what's official but a google search gave me:
  
  How many National Pie Days are there?
  
  two different National Pie Days
  
  Many Americans savor a slice of the popular dessert, which is so popular that there are two different National Pie Days. It's celebrated December 1 in addition to January 23, which is the more popularly celebrated. But there is a little bit more confusion.1

  MARCH 14th sounds good though 🤷🏻‍♂️😝
  
  Why do men celebrate March 14?
  
  Steak and Blowjob Day (sometimes Steak & BJ Day or Steak and Knobber Day) is a satirical unofficial holiday created in the United States as a male response to Valentine's Day and celebrated a month later, on March 14.

Is the iPhone 6 still worth it in 2024? -

My failed attempt at a SHORT instead it's just a 1 min vertical video

FYI JUST A BIT OF SILLY FUN as I see a lot of these types of "Is it still worth picking up in 20xx" videos.

  Yeah I hope you get feeling better! I had some kind of light cold or allergies I think, but it's definitely going away. I'm mostly worried about my 2 broken toes which I am still healing up from. 2 days ago was the first time I was able to fit my swollen foot into a work boot, and I was able to drive if I'm very careful...And I can even drive my truck wearing a "post-op walking boot"...But I won't be heading back to work til late next week at the earliest...

On this day in 1797, author Mary Shelley was born. 21 years later, she published ‘Frankenstein’ anonymously and over 200 years later, we’re still celebrating Shelley and the legendary Frankenstein!
