Polyurethane couldn’t sell the couches because it simply as sexy as plant-based leather.

Attended a Christian school in high school and I used this joke when the opportunity came up, and the teacher was really pissed about it lol.

I experience migraines where my brain initiates an auditory hallucination, causing someone to speak to me. Simultaneously, a smell and flavor are perceived, making me feel almost detached from my body for a brief moment. This sensation evokes a feeling akin to what some might describe as the sensation of the world not being real. I figure it might be a focal seizure.

What’s your budget, here’s 2 options and they should work with the sheets.

I certainly don’t live a double life, nope…

It’s a real thing for some of us. Wish it wasn’t, but not all of us have it so easy.

I can’t be the first person to say this, but a poop-knife.

That ‘everything’s moving’ argument is a convenient shutdown, not a dead end. We already track motion precisely, GPS corrects for relativity every second. That means relative positioning isn’t unsolved; it’s restricted.

You wouldn’t target a spot in space. You’d target a worldline, like Earth’s continuous path through spacetime. Same path, different point.

Saying you’d end up in empty space assumes a cartoon machine that only changes the date. A real device moves you along spacetime itself.

So when people say time travel is impossible because there’s no reference frame, what they really mean is: you don’t have access to the frame that works. Not impossible. Classified.

Finally. Thank you. Someone thinking past the punch bowl.

Forget paradoxes, pathogens are the real problem. You don’t need to step on a butterfly to wreck the timeline; you just need a 21st-century rhinovirus and a handshake. Entire villages, gone. History rewritten by a sneeze.

Any responsible time traveler would be sealed head to toe. No exposed skin, no shared air, no hors d’oeuvres. Certainly no cake. You don’t know what yeast does to medieval Europe when it’s had a few centuries of upgrades.

Now, I’m speaking hypothetically, legally, and for educational purposes only… you fast-forward a few decades and suddenly certain names appear in court documents and flight logs, not convictions, not proof of wrongdoing, just… associations. Enough to make a careful chrononaut say, ‘You know what? I’m not popping back in time to shake hands and eat shrimp.’

The absence at that party wasn’t evidence that time travel failed. It was evidence that it worked, and everyone who could come already knew how the story looked later.

History doesn’t just judge actions. It judges proximity. And no self-respecting time traveler shows up early to something that turns awkward in hindsight.

Before they claim to have smelled smoke and valiantly battled the fire with a hail of bullets.

Of course not, it’s always been about the quick buck. It’s like watching telemarketing scammers run a business, if the scammers were stupid enough to shit where they eat.

Corporations have transformed a once enjoyable place into a dreary and unpleasant environment. I, for one, would prefer not to swim in the port-a-potty it’s become.

Don’t quote me, but that’s pyrite or chalcopyrite, right?

As a guy with oily skin, I’ve found adding a pea sized drop of liquid Dawn dish soap works well for this.

No problem, being old has to have had some benefits lol. This was my shot.

They match the style of proprietary A/V control system ports used in 1990s conference rooms, Projector control interfaces, Crestron / AMX / Extron wall plates, RS-232 or RS-485 wiring inside custom housings.

They were used to connect Projector control panels, Motorized screens, Audio/video switchers, Touch panels, Old teleconferencing gear.

Good thing I blocked Mixpanel the second I saw it pop up for analytics. Call me paranoid.
