The Free Palestine Movement Seinfield’s referring to is the one with mostly Western students protesting on college campuses, not the Free Palestine Movement located in Lebanon that was involved with armed conflict with Syria too. We have proof of this:

Here’s a quote from this article:

“By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ Okay, that’s honest,'" the Chronicle reported Seinfeld said.

The KKK has killed literally thousands of people (mostly black, but some Jews, and whites) source

But apparently according to Jerry here, the KKK gets a pass because “that’s honest”.

Fuck off, Jerry.

Remind me again how many extrajudicial lynchings the Free Palestine movement has performed vs the KKK.

Mine was replacing a failed hard drive in array.

• Check array health, see one failed member
• popped out the hot swappable old drive , popped in the new one
• Check array health to make sure the array rebuild is underway
• See array now has TWO failed member, and realize I feel the drive in my hand still spinning down

shit.

Blasphemy!

Debian? Did you see the title of that book? “Linux from Scratch”. Clearly its a Gentoo guide book.

I’d like a Romeo & Juliet story where one house uses VI and the other Emacs.

In the 1950s for white men, America was pretty great. For just about everyone else no one would say it was “great”. So when they say “Make America Great Again” they mean “Make America Suck Again For Everyone But White Men”.

They’re not a fashion brand, but I’ve had good quality long lasting jeans from Eddie Bauer.

We’re old. We don’t set the trends or standards anymore. If we want to keep participating, we have to adapt to their style. They aren’t going to adopt our older standards.

This isn’t just a problem with women’s jeans which have arbitrary size numbers. Even men’s jeans which are size by the actual waist and inseam measurement can be wrong. In addition to vanity sizing, cheaper jeans are also made from larger material cuts out of the patterns at the same time to save manufacturing cost sometimes twice as many as shown here:

Those at the top or bottom of the stack may end up a bit smaller or a bit larger than the pattern, but they all get marked with the same size.

Whether it was this manufacturing problem or vanity sizing, this is why I stopped buying Old Navy jeans. I could pick out 3 jeans all labeled with the same size and one would fit okay, one would be too small, and one too large. I have never had this problem with Eddie Bauer jeans.

Edit: I found picture showing the larger stacks (which can introduce the mismatched sizing) I was referring to:

When I saw those, the font was so bad I thought they said “Slut Life”. I thought “Thats a bold statement to put on the back window of your car, but you do you, slut.”

Oddly, no one has heard from Lenin’s friend Trotsky for awhile.

For years I thought “Line-X” was some kind of country music band because of all the trucks I saw it on.

Though in this case I was granted a reprieve because they couldn’t stay as long as expected.

There must have been some lower income children about to receive needed healthcare or perhaps a nutritious meal that your wife’s relatives had to prevent from happening.

Pull out a little notebook and write some shit in it, put it back in your pocket, look back at them quickly then continue as if nothing happened.

I like this! If they press you on an explanation for what you’re doing you could say “I have a bet going.” Glance down at the pad, perhaps flip a few pages, moving your pen like you’re counting, then say “It looks like I’m winning!” then smile.

If you don’t mine starting a fight you could even go with “I’m playing MAGA bingo. You could really help me out if you say something predictiably shitty about immigrants or perhaps something laughable about ‘small government’”.

I’m sorry to hear about your intestinal distress which will make you spend most of the visit in the bathroom with a quick in-person “goodbye” right before jumping in the car.

…or…

which means they get to “accidentally” drop little comments then titter in apology

When they do this just stare right at them, with a blank expression. Keep the stare for about 10 seconds until it starts to get uncomfortable for everyone, and then just say “hmm” while maintaining eye contact.

The last large airline to NOT charge for checked bags in the USA, Southwest airlines, has switched to charging for bags.

Oddly the ones that have the best outcome for the deplaning scenario from this bad situation of paid checked bags are the ones that also charge for carry ons like Spirit or Frontier in the USA. So there is an incentive to NOT bring a carry on because you’ll be charged for it and instead just pay to check a bag (which has more capacity).

it’s with one shoulder bag I usually just shove under my seat,

That isn’t an option for those afflicted with long legs.

Blame the airlines for that. Some are still allowing free carry on, but charging $75 for a checked bag. This is entirely a problem created from airline greed.
