Congrats, just an awesome pair of denim!
Hey thanks. I am honored.
it would have been nice if they got his Instagram handle right
I wouldn't be surprised if it was me who made that typo and they just copied not over.

I saw a real live bobcat outside this refinery I am working at in Lake Charles, Louisiana today. It did not seem cuddly or snuggly. It just growled at me. It was about the size of a medium sized dog.

@Filthy You reminded me of a joke. All the monks are at a Monastery and they’re making copies of the books and scriptures,when one of the monks asks if they’re the originals? Too which he’s told no,the originals are kept locked in a room. He then proceeds to go to the head monk and voices his concern that if there was a mistake,that they would keep writing the mistake over and over. The head monk promptly dismisses him. Several days later a weeping sound is heard coming from the room where the scriptures are kept and the head monk is sitting on the floor. They asked Father what’s wrong? He looks up with tears in his eyes and says the word is CELEBRATE!

@Jett129
hahaha good one. -
I finally bought a new laptop after 8 years. I was holding out for a new Microsoft Surface. But they seem pretty overpriced for what you get. So I got one designed for artists so I can use a Wacom pen and draw some shit. I always feel kind of icky spending almost a whole paycheck on something but hopefully this one will serve me as good as the last one did.

@Graeme I can say already what you get for the money is pretty stellar. The surface book 3 (2 years old) is about $3300 and the Acer is $300 less with a better GPU(Nvidia 2070) and processor, twice the SSD space (the Acer has a 2TB NVMe and the Surface does not), twice the RAM, and the Acer has a faster i7 processor (Surface has a U series). Also it's IPS display is a multi touch 4k 60hz display calibrated with Adobe and Pantone, Wacom pen included (Surface is extra) and the overalll design is like a drawing easel.

Thanks @Filthy. I was looking at the refresh of the Lenovo Legion 7i, which is due out in a few weeks. But I will have to check out the Acers.

Well, he's a bleeding genius
:D…......(Aldi is a chain of European supermarkets)....."A metal detectorist who dug up a hoard of stolen Roman and Viking treasures on his first hunt said he was delighted they were back with their owner.
Novice Charles Cartwright, 43, found nearly 300 historic items buried in a field in Worcestershire.
At first, he thought he had struck lucky with an incredible find - but the Aldi carrier bag that they were in raised suspicions."

Aldi is big over here along with Lidl.

The noise makers are OUT. 17 year cicadas are doing there thing.
Haven't had any here yet in Western PA (at least that I have seen). Looking forward to seeing these fellas, I remember 17 years ago picking their shells up and sticking them on my brother.. hoping to torment him some more.
-
Yea I've been knocking them off the new trees we just planted, although thankfully the major swarms are around the old growth trees in the neighborhood. Some of the larger ones have thousands of discarded shells at their base, looks like a brown carpet.
Last time these came out I was in college. Before that, I was in pre-school. My daughter is 5, which is roughly the age I was when they were out last.
