They have shareholders now, if half the site traffic disappeared (and I feel like that’s being optimistic about the actual number of real people on the site) it would be devastating to the stock price.

We used to call them “spider balls” because they were rumored to keep spiders away but that is false. I’ve never heard horse apples but Osage Orange is also common in my area

Wooster-shire

Yeah, it’s the area south of Pittsburgh near WV, why is it called Pennsyltucky instead of Pennsylvirginia? No idea.
But, it’s more of a “here be hillbillies” thing, especially when compared to the rest of the state.

I’m lucky enough to be a state employee so I’ll still have OPERS when Social Security is annihilated next year, but I’m not sure that’ll be enough.

When you’re stressed out or in a panic situation your brain will start to lay down more than one memory track at a time, this will cause time to feel slower when you think back on it. And because the “present” is constantly moving moment in time thinking back only 10 seconds can feel like 30 seconds, making time feel like it’s crawling along. If you spend 8 hours at work stressed out, at the end of the day it can feel like you’ve spent 16-20 hours there.

It reminded me a lot of the movie “butterfly effect”

The internet wasn’t even something you could have imagined in your wildest dreams in the 1970s.

Don’t forget preventable disease or easily treated medical issues.

A friend of mine had two, named them Amy and Rory

If it were supposed to be pronounced “jif” it would have been spelled that way.
