Are cloaks considered cool again yet. Its really the only fashion trend i keep cheering for a comeback.

Here is a neat little trick to help you remeber the names of the five great lakes.

@Sophistifunk Her son seems to be quite aware of that based on where he is staring.

Would be creepy as fuck if he did it just so he could wack off to his own mom though.

@freemo
I imagine how he started the conversation...
"Mom, if you keep working as a nurse I will never be able to afford a proper gaming rig.
You know... My friends think you're quite sexy. Wouldn't it be better to get some good money by shaking your tits for them?"

@Gina aws can honestly be a bit dizzying. I highly recommend you learn from the command line since it can be hard to remember all the steps in the GUI. I have some scripts that bring up systems from scratch, not just the computer but the whole VLAN that might be useful.

@icedquinn Plot twist: people only buy them as chew toys for their dogs.

Apparently using *they* as a singular pronoun (to use instead of *he* and *she*) is hardly a new phenomenon. It dates back to 1375 in written records!

In fact, singular *you* is much more recent! Dating back to the 17th century! 😂

Oh, this quote's fun, and it shows that our gender-related issues has been going on for centuries:

> In 1794, a contributor to the New Bedford Medley mansplains to three women that the singular they they used in an earlier essay in the newspaper was grammatically incorrect and does no ‘honor to themselves, or the female sex in general.’ To which they honourably reply that they used singular they on purpose because ‘we wished to conceal the gender,’ and they challenge their critic to invent a new pronoun if their politically-charged use of singular they upsets him so much.

I'd say it's probably safe to use *they* in general. I do use singular *they* regularly and it's the least fuss imo.

I didnt get into the cracking process, so not really contrary, but yes, you'd have to crack the wastes and do some things to them before they appear as plastics.

As for the waste going to other users, yes and no. Most of the uses of long-chain hydrocarbons are all secondary products like plastic, so really doesnt change the equation much here, most of them are even single use. So really no matter how you dice it, even if you can keep it out of going direct to the landfill, the general idea is the same, and that is, dont use plastic and you havent done much of anything, those chemicals still get made and either thrown away or used for something, many such things being even worse for the environment (such as lubricans which generally tend to get out into the environment).

@gnomon

I'd be happy to but usually I wait until the person requests it.

For starters we have no idea if she is interested in the thread or not, so best to have her ask.

Second, you can just right click the thread and select "mute conversation" so its really never needed in the first place.

That said if she asks I'd have no problem doing that.
