Indiana and Wisconsin USA here. Approaching 50, and learned back in high school, as well as driving old tractors. My first car, a classic even when I got it, was a 63 Chevy Bel Aire manual. Drove manuals all through college and didn’t buy an automatic until 2013, when the type of vehicle I needed didn’t come in a manual.

I really miss driving stick, especially in snowy Wisconsin winters.

You lose the ability to differentiate between a fart and a poo.

At random times whenever you are traveling in any vehicle, you simultaneously feel a sneeze coming on, and yet have to pee a little bit too. However, you can neither sneeze nor pee until you are out of the vehicle.

Inconvenient on a bus/train or as a passenger, deadly if you’re driving. Bicycles are right out, I suppose.

Well, I’ve learned something today. Who knew how dangerous those flavorings could be?

It looks like she just did it on purpose. Mental health issues, life skill issue, or just…?

I dunno. Gruesome footage, but I’d love to know the story behind it.

Ah. Yes. Helps to read things.

I am so confused. It’s been in the PS store for a while…

Except, somehow, in the comments section, it comes out right! Will our torture never end?!

Reading that headline while on Android is hilarious.

“On Android I see & instead of &…”

Thank you for the giggle.

Not if you’re coming from the other direction.

Get to know a taxi driver. Ask locals where to go and what to see. Stop by a visitors bureau or welcome center. Hit up a local colleges student center.

When I traveled a lot, I used to start with the local phone book. Not only did it have business information, but government info, and a section devoted to local arts and museums. These days I (gasp) talk to people at pubs or bars or coffee shops. Obviously, if they are annoyed, I let them be, but you’d be surprised how many people are happy to brag about their community.

Oregon Trail, on cassette, on a RadioShack TRS-80 in the school library.

Gaming heaven.

Started with the 8" bastards on a dedicated word processor (with a 12" CRT, green phospher glow, and typwriter style printer built right into the top of the unit!) that my dad had for medical filekeeping at his office.

It’s been amazing watching storage tech from those to zip drives, and now, floppies of any kind are dying.

Fistula maybe? They are more common in cows, but not unheard of in pigs.

Either way… Well, if you can’t bring yourself to eat the meat…

Reminds me of the old Whitney Wisconsin case from a few years ago. She even made a video defending her choice to fuck her dog, and encouraged others to try it.

Damned if I can find that old vid, and honestly I’m not putting in the effort.

And if you’re in a school zone, or hanging out in front of a Boys’ and Girls’ Club, or Chuck E Cheese, there are (depending on state and local municipality, please check your local listings) other expectations of dress and decency. You may have to register, even if you didn’t directly commit a sexual crime.

[singing] Welcome back to Timber–borners!..

Reddit migrant here. I actually much prefer the conversations here. Comment threads are still small enough to be manageable, people seem more patient and helpful, and overall, it’s less toxic.

As for the Sync drama, I’m perfectly happy with Connect, but I’m looking forward to Boost, which was my Reddit app of choice.

And a little adjustment to permissions, and I’m good.

That’s what I was afraid of. It doesn’t seem to be saving them at all.
