Does that count as a moon landing?

My old hotmail gets all that stuff. Awhile back they added some stuff to automatically keep it clean-ish, mainly the sweep feature. Plus I have addy.io that forwards a bunch of stuff to it.

I was talking to a friend today about an article I read trying to suggest that his “civilization destruction” tweet could’ve been an example of the old Russian “escalate to de-escalate” doctrine that’s never been proven to exist. While the article made some interesting points, including that Trump received Iran’s 10 points that were used for the ceasefire before sending that tweet (I have no idea if this is true), I laughed when telling my friend, “Trump doesn’t even play checkers, let alone this kind of entry-level chess!”

I was looking for that. Your note jogged my memory and I was able to find it. Strangely, the device was saying that it was being interviewed. I’ve rebooted home assistant again. When I tried to reinterview, it fails immediately. I see the following in the log:

Tried rebuilding routes to the node and saw similar node is not responding messages in the log. Strange that the physical switch still works though.

Sounds like your uncle has a secret about your parents!

Ooh. Swap one of the participating characters for Mario or a Ninja Turtle… I have to go.

I’ve said for awhile that I refuse to wish for the death of anyone. Just bad Karma there.

BUT, I never said I wouldn’t celebrate the death of a bad person. So I’m ordering a bad person’s recent quote about another person’s death to be printed on a T-shirt I will only wear twice: on the day the bad person dies, and on the day of that person’s funeral.

…

I may wear it subsequent times on the bad person’s birthday.

Not enough - Sound can easily be removed from videos. You need to make sure there’s licensed Disney IP littered around the room, and ideally involved in the sex act(s). Maybe dress like a Star Wars or Marvel character. Better yet, one dresses like a SW character, and the other(s) dress like a Disney Princess™. Also, have Fantasia or Sleeping Beauty, one of the classics, playing on the TV in the background. Make “Disney” the kink theme of the video. Make it a category keyword on the upload. Include the full proper character names everywhere you can. Really ensure that target is as big as you can make it.

Don’t have to use Notes. The Files app will do it too, and will save directly to iCloud.

Yeah. This always seemed pretty obvious.

I’ve never thought about it that way, but it really does make sense. I think the only time I ever see this guy is screenshots of his crazy tweets.

Don’t threaten me with a good time, Canada.

The precursor to is was called Letterkenny. Not as much about hockey, but similarly weirdly funny. Made by the same guy (who plays Shorsey). Shorsey also makes an appearance.

Sad thing about this meme is neither of those war criminals will ever face a single consequence for their crimes.

if you haven’t seen the show Shorsey yet, it’s a funny send-up of the kind of hockey I’m talking about.

I see everyone offering NHL advice here, but there are also leagues below the NHL, and you can often see some pretty good hockey for not much money. Where I live (not in Canada), we had an AHL team, which is 1 level below the NHL. The hockey was fun to watch, and good tickets could be had for less than $100/person.

It’s never stopped me from trying, though!

Lover’s Style? I’m surprised this hasn’t been jumped on yet. “All Conquering?” “(Power) Bottom?” “70s Porn?”

Yup

His “pants” could be the head basket.
