Your work in that regard has been very impressive. I suggest eating at PF Chang's for even greater gains.

What a crappy joke.

Nothing better than taking a massive dump

I used to get pain under my nails until I started cleaning them regularly. I researched that there can be fungus under the nails. The nail clippers with the little "pick" thing are hard to find. I mightve gotten mine on Amazon.

ICE CUBE

@SoundGammonI used to do that when I had a fungal infection on my hands.  The hot water burns off all the histamines so it doesn't itch anymore.

Damn, I thought you were joking at first but that's where his user name comes from? Hope he is alright. 

Hey, I'm alright and we didn't get hit. We did, however, get some flooding in the back yard outside the fence.

Glad you're all right @SlidellMan!  Saw you guys on the news and it was like DAMN!!!

I thought you left.

LA to New York??? That's no ordinary snail!

@CPUWIZ - I did. Then I came back.

I know what you mean.  Some companies send too many emails.  Less is more.

But she'll be happier in the long run!

Now, to apply autotune to that cat...

As long as the fleas hate her, it'll all balance out.

Neither am I, and I'm Irish.

Better to be a joy than a mound anyway!!!

At least you could get deer nuts under a buck.

Or truck nuts under yer truck.

Turns out listeria is also named after Joseph Lister.

^ Ohh,  Lister from Red Dwarf??  AWESOME!!

Red Dwarf was simply Amazing!!!

She's a great athlete, it's fun to watch her.  Hope she does well in the WNBA too!

As for the comments re: Pete etc, well, it's all perspective.  And the record is still the record, and now Caitlin has it.

Pistol Pete can rest easy (RIP) knowing he'll forever have the record in the non-3pt era, and in 3 seasons.

Actually, Pearl Moore has the record with 4,061 points.  Again, accumulated without any threes.

All Caitlin has is the "NCAA" record.  It was formed in 1982 and, for some reason, refuses to acknowledge college basketball records which precede its existence.

*Edit - Caitlin has the NCAA Women's record.  Apples and oranges compared to Men's basketball.

Also, Maravich got his total in just 83 games.  Mind boggling.

The snow has stopped.

Yup. I believe thrift stores today don't even accept CRT's as donations anymore. There is a huge charity shop where I live that donates money to all of the local church groups and they are very picky about what they take. They will refuse CRT televisions outright... and then for some reason they will put "CRT" on the price tag they hang on the flat screen displays they do accept. It's a bunch of old people who run the store though so I just assume they don't actually know what they are doing.

Best bet seems to be Craigslist these days. Sometimes you'll come across people just looking to get rid of an old set, though often times now you'll find people who are aware they are preferred for playing vintage games on and will charge accordingly.

But CRTs are s-o-o-o 20th century...  😉

@atari2600land Yeah, that might be a bit far - we're in Oklahoma.  I've got either a 27" or 29" Sharp CRT TV that was a roadside find.  Seems to work fine, but needs a cleanup.  Once Winter hit, it was sidelined but I figure I'll get back on it in a few weeks.

It reminds me of the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only":

Quote

Bond wakes up inside Columbo’s ship. Columbo sits at his desk, waiting to talk to him. He insists that it is Kristatos who is the true drug smuggler, not him. Columbo merely smuggles gold, diamonds, cigarettes, and - most importantly - pistachio nuts.

They make ketchup flavored chips in Canada. I have a friend who sends me a bag every year on my birthday (sometimes on Christmas instead). A local grocer even carried a "black pepper ketchup" flavored chip for a limited time. They are good, it really just tastes like dipping a french fry in ketchup and what's a potato chip but a flat french fry?

My cousin would put ketchup on chips back in the 70's. I always scrunched my nose at her. I didn't realize that you can put ketchup on anything and it tastes good. I put some on a dog turd earlier today, delicious!! 

Back when we were kids a friend of mine would dip them in BBQ sauce - and to this day I still have to do it occasionally.

Specifically it was Open Pit.  Not made the same anymore though, but still has the nostalgia.

George Washington Carver did

On the other hand? I thought that's what the toilet paper was for.

If you have constipation, stick your hand up there and scoop it out.

🤢 I see what you did there...

If it crashed, then either 1) its Preferences became corrupted and couldn't load them, so it reset to its defaults or 2) if you had made all of those changes without ever having quit Photoshop and *then* it crashed, it may not have saved them in the first place. Photoshop typically saves custom settings when the application is being quit. This is bad if the application crashes while quitting, and before being able to save those settings. Usually, if I go through and add custom Actions, Brushes, etc., I'll intentionally quit Photoshop so it updates the preferences.

If you run backups on your computer regularly (and you should), and Photoshop *had* saved those preferences before, it's possible to restore them by replacing the current settings with earlier copies. Google "Where are my Photoshop preferences saved" and that'll point you in the right direction.

There are ways to intentionally reset them, but they're unlikely to be triggered by accident: https://www.greaterthangatsby.com/how-to-reset-the-photoshop-preferences-file/

That's interesting because I was speaking to the new blog layout over cocktails and it speaks very highly of you sir. 

I hope he's wrong.  I want some more snow.

Well, he might be right on that front. Over here, it was a nice, balmy 55 degrees Fahrenheit for the past two days. However, it's clouding up again today and it might rain or snow...if we're unlucky enough that is.

Order seconds! 

My neighbor came to drop it off to me. Turns out it was in her mailbox after all.

Well,  I'm glad it worked out!

I know I was getting Amazon (?) packages delivered that came with a pic of it on my doorstep.  And even though it takes them a few more minutes that way,  I figured that was seriously the best way.  That way I know it came to my house, ...also we don't tend to have "porch pirates" around here, but I know they're a problem for people.  I Hate idiots who steal!

Not gonna lie, that is indeed stupid. Let's hope you don't have to do it again.

Yes that will do it. sleeping outside in the cold is always cold too ... especially when bicycles and crack are involved (you had to be there)

Well you got some fresh frigid air.
