Roes are red,
Violets are blue,
They kill each other,
And us next too.

I have been away from my girlfriend for almost exactly a year. Now that I am back she does the cutest thing ever...

So in her sleep she has always talked, sometimes in Thai, but sometimes in english. So when we are asleep in the middle of the night she starts umbling "mrghdah love berrmerr" and then rolls over and holds my hand and she falls back sleep.. Every once in a while wakes for a split second just to squeeze my hand again before nodding off... Knowing its automatic and subconscious (she never knows she is talking) makes it just.. so very sweet. Makes me feel truly loved and I love it :)

Just found a closely related razor, Hubbard’s razor:

Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system.

Never attribute to malaice that which can be attributed to stupidity.

Best lesson you can ever learn, especially if you take things personally.

@freemo That last point is key! Definitely reduced stress in my life when I realised it.

@freemo I prefer "ignorance" in that maxim, rather than "stupidity", as it implies a problem that can be fixed.

I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck her too"
Said if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Hah, now ain't that some shit? (Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best
With a "Fuck you" (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

-- Fuck You, Ceelo Green

@freemo Another nice to know. The English told the French they could still "pluck yew" (draw their bow) and waved two fingers to illustrate it. The French misheard it. Tell it to the Marines, too....

Im a little crazy about shaving. Though i dont always shave or shave often but when i do im a bit anal about it. First off i use an old school safety razor, but the three half blade kind rather than a single double blade. I also only use the razor for about 3 shaves then replace it. I also remove clean and dru the individual blades between shaves, oil them and store them outside of thr bathroom to avoid humidity. I even rotate the blades between shaves.

In case you arent familiar with half blade safety razors i attached a picture.

@SteelFolk They are. Usually stainless with some sort of a coating, the kind of blades I use are the sharpest on the market and have chromium coating.

@freemo A 'Malcolm' is a razor.

(Malcolm Fraser, a stage comic).

But a razor means a 'blazer', usually at school.

After just 5 minutes you can see the ants going crazy for the poison.

So been dealing with an ant problem and finally found a solution. The main problem was the ants just wouldnt find or go to the the poison traps. So it wasnt effective. But I found a way to fix that.

Leave some food out so you have a line of marching ants going to and from it. Most likely this already happened if you realize you have an ant problem at all.

Go to the end of the ant trail that is close to the food but where the trail is still a tight line (as it gets close to the food they will spread out to cover the food). Take a drop of cooking oil about 2/3ths the width of the poison container and put it directly on the ants making the trail. Then take a paper towel and wipe a very wide streak (a good meter should do it) in both directions from the blob. This will create a tin coat of oil the ants can not walk over (it will get on their feet and then they cant stick to stuff so they avoid it)..

At this point the ants will try to find a way around the barrier and will start trying to look for a way around the oil. Take your poison trap and place it exactly where you put the oil, right in the middle of the line of ants. make sure the streak of oil is thin enough that the trap creates a complete bridge (if any oil pokes out from under the trap it wont work).

the ants will quickly find the shortest new path which goes through the trap and across the poison. Once the ants have established a path through the trap to get to the food clean up all the food and leave the trap.

Now the ants will start taking the poison back to their nest instead of the food.

Rado1,

@freemo what I’m using is not just simple poison. It is something that will destroy the whole colony when the ants bring it home as food.

Lunisolar
A lunisolar calendar is a lunar calendar that compensates by adding an extra month as needed to realign the months with the seasons. Prominent examples of lunisolar calendar are Hindu calendar and Buddhist calendar that are popular in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Another example is the Hebrew calendar, which uses a 19-year cycle.

chrism,

@freemo LOL you’ll discover during your stay here, there are many things the Thais do differently to us “farangs. That’s one of the many things that makes them so charming!

Interesting fact of the day: an opossum is thr only animal with an odd number of nipples. Well, other than my ex girlfriend crystal.

trinsec,

@freemo That begs the question: Has she one or three nipples? (or more?!)

Amikke,

@freemo @trinsec she was an eldritch monstrosity escaping human understanding, with x = x + 1 number of breasts?

Everytime a religious person tells me atheists csnt be moral..

freemo,
@freemo@qoto.org avatar
customdesigned,

@freemo The Christian claim is not that atheists in particular can't be moral, but that NO ONE is good.

"They have all gone astray. They have all together become corrupt. There is no one that does good. Not even one."

Religion just washes the outside. The result is what Jesus called "whitewashed sepulchers, full of dead men's bones".
