I overshooted with the beard trimmer and had to shave it all off...
But not only that, I almost got rid of one of my sideburns... So I had to trim the other to match
:BlobCatDerpy:
@joel When I got married I was clean-shaven except for a mustache. A few weeks later I accidentally shaved one side of it with my clippers (forgot the blade guard).
I sat there for about a minute, then shrugged and took off the rest.
Since then I've been far less worried about things like a bad haircut... I can always start over!
Winter: no razor shall touch my head.
Summer: get the turtle wax.
1981: Mechanical Nutritional Reduction Facilities are an option for the Orphan Crisis.
1996: Nobody likes orphan mincing but we must be realistic here.
2001: The real issue is improving standards and oversight.
2010: Let's focus on reducing unnecessary orphan reduction and preserving jobs.
2019: We should respect differing views on orphan reduction.
2023: The debate has become too polarised, too politicised.
2026: Buskernut: "My grandfather worked in Reduction facilities, my father fought for West Arkotan jobs, and I won't stand by while coastal elites attack our way of life."
Holy mother forking shirtballs, this thread got dark (and terrifyingly accurate) fast.
It inspired me to think about Soylent Green.
Communist #Poland 1980 toilet paper was an extremely valuable trophy these times, because it was in constant shortage. Once you waited in queue for anything from 6 to 12 hours, you could only buy so many rolls of paper, which is why the happy pair on the photo carries a whole garland, as if it was a trophy hunted in a jungle.
But hey, bookstores were full of collected works of Marx, Engels, Lenin etc printed on paper, so you know…
Might one say the writing of Marx can be mildly laxative?
More like sleeping pills, when you actually read them. But their actual usability in daily life depended purely on the paper they were printed on. If it was a thick, white coated paper, it was useless for anything than desk leg support. But if it was printed on this thin grey paper, they had so many uses! You could use them in toilet, you could roll cigarettes of them etc.

@prettygood I sometimes call it a viaduct.
bridge.
or overpass.
If driving over it on a straight or level grade, it is an overpass. Technically an overpass is a road that allows one to drive over another road making a level and distinct grade separation.
If driving under it with a change in grade, it is an underpass. An underpass generally changes its grade to sink under another road, by excavating downward beneath the higher road.
If it is a long, level bridge with multiple spans, columns, or arches, it is a viaduct. Think of elevated rail lines in Chicago, or long bridges across wide rivers supported by several spans of piers or arches.
@retro @prettygood so is this a viaduct, bridge or an underpass?
