Interesting. I’m not quite sure what the laws were back in 1996, but yeah with school and all, plus the travel distance of over 30 miles, even if it was legal for me to work a few hours a day after school, it wouldn’t have been practical at all.

Still nice that he offered the job, I was trying to brainstorm and troubleshoot why my first sound card didn’t work. Turned out he got a defective batch, like 3 other customers had the same issues.

He knew I did all the proper troubleshooting already. Honestly I forget what model sound card it was, but once I proved it didn’t work, he gave me a different card that cost twice as much, for no extra money.

I was offered a job at a computer repair shop at age 14. Dude had to retract his offer when I told him my age, he assumed I was 17 or older.

Karolina Protsenko, the famous young violinist, said she keeps her violin with her at all times ever since someone broke into her parents’ SUV. Luckily they didn’t take or damage her violin, but they did get away with multiple electronics and microphones and stuff.

You gotta hate thieves 😡

As a former BMX flatland rider, I’m almost ambidextrous. Almost.

But if you ask me to write my name with my left hand, you’ll get jibberish.

I only came across a spare pair like 2 weeks ago, so I totally understand the confusion.

Mildly interesting update…

I wish the glasses case was neon yellow instead, because apparently blue is impossible to find in the dark. 🤷‍♂️

What’s the opposite of congress?

Progress

I do have a bright blue case, but that’s where I keep my emergency backup glasses. That stays at home though, every time I lose my glasses seems to be when I’m staying the night at a friend’s place…

I’m known to roll around in my sleep. And I’ve accidentally knocked my glasses off of my nightstand, apparently with my blanket, and couldn’t find them for days.

On more than one occasion no less. Do you know how difficult it is to get anyone to help you find your glasses when everyone else thinks you’re full of shit?

My vision is like 20/500 without glasses.

No. That just makes me more likely to lose my glasses. I usually just wear them, 24/7…

The optional part was whether I wear my glasses while I sleep, as I usually have all my life, or place them on the nightstand…

I have to find my glasses. If your vision was so bad as mine that you can’t find your own glasses, and you’re two days out of work because they fell behind the night stand and you can’t see to find them, you’d understand…

Although this happens to be a clip from a movie, this stuff is very real. Though they’ve found the stuff to be safer to use rectally than in the lungs…

Yes, this is all as ridiculous as it sounds. And it’s all very real. Even the initial movie clip was the real deal.

LOL, alrighty then, TIL

People will stick anything up their ass these days, and these guys get the fucking Nobel Prize?!

I feel betrayed ☹️

They should try again using petrified coprolite…

Strange. When I shared the permalink of this Lemmy post on Discord, it embedded the wrong title and thumbnail…

“After 30 Years, Linux Finally Hits 3% Market Share”

Yes. Alcoholic beverages are generally legal, within sensible context and one’s local laws anyways. But meth and meth paraphenalia such as pipes are illegal practically everywhere. Which means it’s more likely to find a meth pipe up someone’s ass than a beer bottle.

Although this is a generalized assumption, I’m sure there are some daring people out there that have had larger things up there…

Sorry, lost the magnet in there as well…
