Simple math It's how Our bodies even got here

Someone should re-label a bottle of mayo as "Ranch Dressing Base" and see if people try to use it differently.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Always Sunny and Cyberpunk shouldn't fit together like this but shit this is too funny

"I should've never offered to take those extra shifts at work when I was drunk" is the best drunk regret confession I've heard from a passenger yet.

Whatever you do, don't spill gallium in a Tesla. It'll eat right through the floor and into the batteries.

It's important to be aware that sometimes a blind gesture of good will actually causes more harm than doing nothing at all.

It always throws me off when a song comes on in the music sounds country, but then the vocalist starts and it’s either Gin Blossoms or Sting.

The guy who works at my Burger King drive thru during the lunch hours sounds like Peter Sagal, to an almost creepy degree. I also swear I hear Peter's voice on the pre-recorded prompt whenever I pull up to a Del Taco.

Hey, folks! For you locals, you might consider joining the Risible Games team this Saturday at the Denver Rollerdome to watch a few roller derby games! Buying a ticket for the adults game at 8 PM before Saturday saves you $5. events.humanitix.com/denver-rolle...

I have a bunch of fresh mint I don’t know what to do with.

I for one will not be watching this superb owl everyone keeps talking about. Kinda hard to watch a game while you're driving. I'm sure my passengers will keep me informed though! I'll be out and about making sure your Superb Owl Sunday partying ends safely as your designated Lyft driver.

Gonna game and scare myself maybe. I don’t usually scare easily.

Peanut butter & chocolate rice krispy treats ain't got nothin' on my homemade scotcharoos.

Happy finds: I logged into the Capital One shopping account I set up ages ago and forgot about and somehow I had accumulated a bunch of rewards - just cashed in a free $110 gift card for groceries. That'll help, like, a LOT.

Ye Olde Classic text based online BBS RPG game is still out there in a playable online form after all these years.

Nuclear powered AI is about to become the norm. Google officially has plans to deploy a small collection of Hermes small modular reactors designed by Kairos Power to their AI data centers, which are anticipated to all be utilizing this energy in the next five years.

New computer, who dis? But really, now that I'm running on a whole new custom machine, I have whole new custom problems to troubleshoot. Like why my OneDrive files keep stalling out when I try to download them.

I love my friends

What an up and down day. Got my computer parts, started setup, hit a roadblock and went driving Lyft only to discover a leaky tire! Limped home and finished the PC after figuring out what I was doing wrong and now just installing the OS and contemplating what to cook us for dinner tonight.

Got me a shiny new CPU upgrade and I forgot my thermal paste!!! I know it's around here somewhere #techfail

Two of my clips got featured in this video!

When you're out driving all day long, you miss the good stuff.

I didn't know you could actually jones for a condiment until I ran out of sriracha.

Colorado ICE agents can go fuck themselves.

It's below freezing outside and drunken passenger manages to dump a beverage (water?) all over the back seat of my car. That isn't gonna dry out when it's 20°F (-7°C) outside, and passengers aren't exactly eager to jump out of the cold air onto a cold wet seat. I guess tomorrow's another day.

I was gifted a "Fast Twitch" Gatorade energy drink the other day and finally cracked it open. At first I thought it was syrup inside, but then I took a drink and realized that syrup has far less sugar than this.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

When they said you can run #DOOM on almost anything (my first DOS PC couldn't run it) I always thought that just meant hardware, but apparently now it's other software too - since DOOM has recently been made to run inside both Microsoft Excel and Word apps! Imagine sharing that doc at work...

*Wonders if #DOOM is available on iPhones* *searches app store* *Sees DOOM, and notices OPEN button already there* *headdesk*

Some days this rideshare gig seems to cost more than it pays. Other days I turn the app on and immediately get a $70 paying ride from my house to the airport.

It's 3:15 in the afternoon and I'm eating for the first time today. A red velvet and white chocolate chip cookie. I'm #adulting so hard today.

I'm enjoying snapping his pic while we hang out at the convention center

This pic got accidentaly blurry but I like it anyway

Taking the train downtown with my hubby to check out the big RV show at the Convention Center!

Semi Safety! The other night I spotted this Amazon truck with a flashing deterrent light to prevent people from getting too close to the back of the truck.

High tech head scratcher: both my text messages on my Apple watch and my Instagram messenger on my phone keep insisting I have unread messages, but neither list anything in the unread messages view.

I looked over and saw it's only reading 61° on my little atomic clock. I suppose I should turn my heater on?

I still love it when I use my watch to pay for things and people respond with a touch of awe at modern technology.

In Home Alone, when Kevin goes to the grocery store he spends $19.83 in 1990 on his groceries. That identical shopping list would cost on average around $55 if you were to go and recreate it today.

Getting my day started! We use red lights in the bathroom when one or the other is sleeping. That way no bright lights are waking the other up, and it makes it easier to go back to bed after getting up to use the bathroom.

About wrecked myself on the highway laughing at a custom plate that read "TACOPL8"
