Haha bro that shit is cool.
I haven't thought about these things in years. When I was a kid growing up in the mountains we had a few of these around our vegetable gardens. My favorite one was of 2 dudes sawing a log back and forth. We used these and pinwheels not only to look cool but to agitate moles. Basically, as the stuff turns it drives noise down the stake planted into the ground.

Unpopular opinion:
“Not like us” is the most fucking stupid and annoying song so far this year that plays on rap music stations. Wtf even is this garbage lol
Ohh it’s a “diss track” they say. Fucking stupid. Diss tracks is also a fucking stupid term. Everyone is becoming so dumb lol
Enough time has passed.
I agree with you completely. You couldn't do anything for like 2 weeks without hearing about this stupid nonsense. OHH THIS GUY IS A PEDO oh, okay. Or whatever it was. THEY GOT BEEF. Great, you guys go sort that shit out on your own, don't drag the rest of us into unlistenable garbage.
"Diss track." GOD. Grow up. Everyone involved, just grow up.

If I leave my sliding screen door halfway open it will keep out 50% of the bugs, right? Mathematically this sounds correct but in the real world it doesn't work like that.

Flies normally don’t fly at night. I never realized this until my uncle mentioned it once.
All these years posting here and I never once messed with all the doo-dads except image and link....

We have to do it ourselves now, like the self checkout at Wal Mart

Why don't they just make porn with AI now? There's more than enough content to feed it, we could prompt it ourselves or not bother and just browse everyone elses.

Spectrum turned off my email last Friday. I figured it was the security update thing affecting everyone. After four days it was still off so I finally called. It seems they are purging all the old Roadrunner email accounts (mine is at least 20 years old). They can reactivate my old one for now but I should get in there and move all the important stuff to a new email account soon as possible. I also have to log on to all the websites that use 2fa and get that changed or I'm screwed.
Guess I'll be having some screen time this weekend.
Make this the last time you do that. I presume you don't use Jolt Country or Caltrops to send/receive mail. Change that, set up an e-mail relay address, like robb@joltcountry.com or robb@caltrops.com. Then have that forward your mail to your preferred mailbox. Costs nothing and if something like this happens again, your provider quits operating, or you decide to change your e-mail service, it takes less than 5 minutes to go to your domain's control panel and change the destination address.
I've had paul-robinson.us with 5 different hosting companies, and 3 different e-mail providers. Never had to change paul@paul-robinson.us and nobody know any of this is happening.

Since I already had an updated email that Spectrum could live with I simply checked the box that would forward any mail to my old email to my new email. The Indian girl on the 800 number assured me it would work ok forever. I trust her.

"Average Joe" who just wants to buy a computer to run Windows doesn't understand all that.
Case in point: today I moved some photos around on someone's phone. She said she had an iPhone. So I told her that's an Apple and she honestly didn't know iPhone was an Apple product. I suppose thats sub-average Joe.

My neighbor gave me this cool 1960s hanging lamp. I'll never criticize his lawn mowing habits again!

His grandkids didn't think much of it and his kids wouldn't hang it up so he showed it to my grandson and he went: "Whoaaa!"
