38 is still really a decent spot for that. Men and women both have unrealistic expectations set when it comes to body image thanks to fashion and entertainment industries. Get yourself a good routine and you can still look great. None of us are going to have a Chris Evans’ Captain America body without steroids and personal training.
I leave a number wrong. The security code, date, whatever. I can remember one number and correct the autofill while making an attempt to keep things a little more secure and still convenient.
Reactionary Car Guys: look at the performance numbers on this ICE car! Fast! Acceleration! Wow!
EV proceeds to beat all those metrics
Reactionary Car Guys: Performance doesn’t matter!
Doc Martens are now Chinese made IIRC and don’t last.
Solovair is the the company that used to make Martens and you can still buy that style there. I hear they’re much better than Martens, but also occasionally a mixed review that they didn’t last very long.
I’ll offer a mixed review for carhartt…while they used to be strictly workwear, they’ve started putting up retail spaces in designer clothing areas. Prices have shot up. I had a belt from them that fell apart pretty quick with normal wear. Got a work shirt that’s doing pretty good though. IMO they’re headed down the same road as a lot of brands that get popular - price hikes with decreased quality.
Sledding.
Less quickly share, more spelling lol.
I’ve used lead quite a bit for various things. It’s “soft” for a metal, but it is nothing like clay and is not “squishy”. It is relatively easily bent and will take a rubber hammer to easily form to shapes. I really can’t think of a material one would encounter in daily use that is comparable to the malleability of lead. So “very soft”, yes, but it is metal.
Unfortunately a lot of r/stupidfood is just wasteful ragebait.
Couple possibilities. Dropped cigarette. Electric seat heat or motor failure causing a fire.
Related to the camel spider?
Lovely shot.
What building is this on the set? I don’t recognize what it represents in the story.
That’s even better that it’s created of your own inspiration. lol @ overweight skeleton…I’m working on a Vader costume myself and vader will have been eating pretty well in my alternate universe.
I have no idea who this ex-king is, but that is a badass costume.
Well done.
You said it yourself when you compared cars to guns. Can’t really have it both ways by holding some manufacturers liable for the unintended uses of their products and giving others a pass. You could argue the same for knifemakers, baseball bat makers, etc. They’re both fairly good at causing traumatic injury or death. Cars OTOH are designed to prevent injuries or death as much as possible, even if they hit a pedestrian.
That said, you are absolutely correct about guns purpose being to deliver injury or death at a distance. That’s why they exist in the first place. No equivocation can change that, I don’t care if people target shoot with them or whatever, they’re killing machines.
Problem is that guns are a right in the US. There is absolutely no way on this earth that the people who wrote that right as an amendment had any clue of what guns would turn into, how they would be politicized, how people would have personal arsenals, or how much death they would cause among the population. Their shortsighted brevity when writing that amendment has killed tens of thousands of people every year.
Going to university means you have a better chance than average at getting a good paying job*, not that you will get one.
*assuming you didn’t degree in some low-pay field or something.
We’re still here. We’re the latchkey kids even on the internet. We show up, pop a TV dinner in the microwave and watch the boomers and everyone after us fight. We remember the “good old days” of MS DOS, C64s and get cranky at having to fix both our parent’s electronics as well as our kids stuff; because ot seems most anyone after the advent of the iphone tends to be clueless about tech and would rather take a selfie than learn how to assemble today’s dead-simple PC components.
We’re the last group that had a shot at getting the cheese in the laid-out easy maze of graduating college with a degree and walking into a place we wanted to work and dropping off a paper resumee.
We’ve also been at the tail end of seeing things disappear. Pensions. Affordable health care. Affordable education. Realistic retirement. Company loyalty. Etc. so we’re caught between everything the boomers had and the generations after don’t. We’re a transitional group between rotary dial phones and the modern internet.
Nobody knows what to do with us. Not even ourselves.
So we get forgotten.
That’s gotta be depressing for sure sometimes. Hope we’ll get a clue and start acting on what people like you recommend.
