6’ fat dude here… 46" I think… maybe only 44…

They found a scam to replace stop & frisk.

I think you’re missing the point - it’s not that he’s enriching himself - he’s already done that. It’s that the charity carries out his will, not necessarily the will of people who need charities.

The point is on your head.

Yes, and they were designed with that in mind- brake pedals with more leverage for one…

My mom had a Ford ranger for a while that had lost its brake boost, it took a lot of force to get it to slow down, and that wasn’t even a heavy vehicle, this was back when a pickup was a two-seater…

How badly did Vista hurt you?

I’ve had the opposite experience - 10 sucked, but I have no complaints about 11… Though it might make a difference that my experience with 10 was after my old (win7 vintage) laptop took the free update, while my 11 experience is based on a new laptop that came with it preinstalled…

Why would someone own 8 vehicles?

My uncle was like that - he was a contractor and realtor. He had several work trucks, each for a specific purpose, plus one general purpose, and half of them had snowplows of various sizes.

Only new one was a minivan for driving clients to sites… Then he bought a house closer to town that had a flatbed truck left on it…

But that’s not what you did, at first anyway. You were looking for an argument. You asked someone to justify something that to you is a slight, with no way of knowing whether the other person intended it that way. They got defensive because they have no idea what you’re getting at, from their perspective you’re just saying “you said something wrong, this is right” without explaining why.

It’s not charity to give money to an organization you (or friends or relatives) control, it’s a way to keep your assets under your control without having to pay taxes that would otherwise be required.

Tomato, tomato…

Pot, kettle…

Whoa… Bad choice of words…

Or great, depends on what you were going for…

If you want to confuse people… I pronounce /etc as “ets”, but one of my coworkers recently called it “slash e t c” and I had to ask him to repeat it a couple times before I figured out what he meant…

Have you ever tried catching flies? Vinegar works better than honey, after all, flies eat shit.

The hell I would…

Have I just experienced youngsplaining?

Once upon a time, there was a Linux distro that would fit on a single floppy, it was intended for system rescue, diagnostics, that sort of thing…
