Or you can use a taut line hitch, a knot specifically designed to adjust and hold tension between two lines, with no extra pieces required, and no chance of a sharp piece of aluminum cutting through your line under load.

If Ryan Lochte wants to make a fresh start, he should fly back to Rio, face the music, serve his time, and THEN make his fresh start, just like every normal human being is expected to. If he fails, he should be stripped of his medals for behavior unbecoming of an Olympian.

In 2000, Missouri elected ex-governor Mel Carnahan, who had been DEAD for three weeks, to the US Senate over John Ashcroft.

Maybe that’s his kink.

Hmm. I’ve got paid Crunchyroll and Funi (subs only) accounts. To be brutally honest, though, I often grab the horriblesubs releases of the shows I want to watch. I’ll use the web to catch the first couple of episodes, and if I decide to commit, I’ll download. CR’s player is in another league from Funi’s horrible mess,…

It’s not about privacy for me, it’s about security. Malicious software injected into ad networks is what, the #1 source of infections these days? Sorry, no, you will not win this war, Facebook.

Well hell. I *just* switched to Google Fi a month and a half ago, and bought a 6P on the two-year plan, and this is telling me that it’ll (likely) stop receiving updates well before I finish paying it off. Thanks guys, that really makes me feel loved.

A few months ago, I got my oil changed at Jiffy Lube. They neglected to properly latch the hood, and as soon as I got up to highway speed, the hood flipped up and completely obscured my windshield. Bent the hood, shattered the windshield, broke both hood hinges, dented the roof, and dented two fairings and both…

Obligatory XKCD:

Dude, I thank god you’re not married too, because it’s pretty obvious you would suck at it and make some potentially happy girl’s life miserable. I’m not going to check out your recommendations, because I have a happy marriage. I’m married to my best friend. Literally none of your post applies to my relationship, nor…

Every once in a while I read stuff like this and realize how gloriously happy I am to be approaching 26 years married. Not that these aren’t sensible guidelines, but just thinking about all the unwritten rules that aren’t covered here terrifies me.

St. Louis POLITICIANS wanted the Rams, to the point where the city fathers sued to overturn the will of the citizens who told them to fuck off. When I say “St. Louis told the Rams to buzz off”, I’m speaking of the people (including myself) who would have been forced to pay for a stadium they didn’t want, while still…

And people wondered why St. Louis told the Rams to buzz off.

Or you could use the Canned Replies lab. This is exactly what it’s designed for, and it works like a charm.

Has anyone tried making an infinite array of resistors yet and measuring the resistance between any two points?

Sounds like someone’s never heard of the Herkimer Battle Jitney. That’s the finest nonlethal military vehicle ever made!

I’m going to be ordering about 500 PCs in three weeks for this year’s round of lease replacements, and I’ve been told to deploy Windows 10 Enterprise and Office 2016 on the image, then prep similar images for the other ~500 computers not being replaced this year. Microsoft, you have one month to explain this and cut…

I’m a systems administrator. When we retire old equipment, it gets recycled. Sometimes that recycler just happens to be me. So I have a nice little data center at home for all my server needs. OK, maybe the equipment isn’t top of the line anymore, but a four-year-old server is still good enough, and with new drives…
