But almond milk in your Honey Nut Cheerios is a beautiful overload of almond flavor
Add or subtract one from the middle digit of your area code and then look up where it maps to (Iâm being deliberately vague). Itâs not quite the SE US but the timezone is right and people have been known to move around.
If you can stand cardboard OsâŚ
If I subtract one itâs in NJ. If I add one itâs in Nashville. Which I would consider to be the southeastern US.
I didnât think to check +1, I figured it wasnât valid. I was just trying to be vague about your area code

My last one of these was an âminus 1â. Got a call, then a text, from a dentistâs office in Tennessee. 614 =/= 615.
I grew up in 616 and now live in 614. Let me tell you, there was a very confused man receiving messages from me for the first few months I loved her because I put my momâs number in my cell phone wrong.

Apparently there are government agencies around the world who are starting to treat the incel movement as a terrorist movement.
Thatâs got me beat, why would you identify as incel? You are basically saying to the world that you have such a horrible personality that women donât want to talk to you.

Because they think itâs the other way around. Women wonât talk to them because they only want âbad guysâ or âchadsâ or whatever, so they feel it justified to be an absolute asshat to everyone around, not identifying that âbeing an assholeâ is their entire personality and thatâs why people donât want to talk to them.

That may well be true. It has been said before, but if everyone else around you is an arse, have a look at yourself. It may not be âeveryone elseâ thatâs the problem. Unfortunately the people who think that are often not self-aware enough to realise where the problem lies.
Just to clarify, I completely understand why government agencies are treating some incels as a terrorist group. Some of their ideas are absolutely horrific, and there have been several attacks by them.

Oh, donât get me wrong, I do too. I wasnât trying to justify them, I just have been on the internet long enough to identify the behavior and expound upon it.

Definitely didnât come across as a justification, just an explanation - which I was sort of asking for

Some of my coworkers were doing butter for a while as part of a Keto diet.
From one of Ron Whiteâs comedy routines, sharing the story about doing a comedy show near a base with 40,000 soldiers on it. A âreally well dressed drunk ladyâ calls out, âEvery one of themâs a bad f***.â
âBoy, you know it seems like after about the first 39,000 times, youâd start to go, âMaybe itâs me. Maybe I need to read a book. I seem to be the only common denominator in this math equation of love.ââ

Interesting, to note that they killed Google Music off in 2020⌠yet I got the death notice this morningâŚ
Think it was due to myself getting a Redmi Note 8, which was released before the death of Google Music.
Ah well, life goes on.

Google Music is an example of the big drawback to digital-only products. Not only can a company stop supporting something youâre using, it can delete what you have. With physical media, itâs yours for as long as you keep it in good shape and can find the hardware to use it. Windows OS discs are an exception since WinXP and above require phoning home to activate.
Making a backup of a digital purchase is prudent because of this but often not really allowed. The alternative is to switch your mindset and say, âThis isnât a purchase. Itâs a very long-term rental that will disappear in the future.â

This is why I invest in storage solutions and have digital copies of everything important (with redundant backups).
That reminds me that I have to deliver a HD to the data recovery guys today and leave them a cheque for about 6 mortgage payments.
