I've read something along the lines of there is no point trying to be happy despite what all the feel-good youtubers and modern day gurus tell you. It is only in retrospect that one can say that was a good time of my life.

I just had't appreciated that you had a '10% rule..'. So cultured and controlled, but I have a stong feeling that the 10% creeps up to 110% when dealing with the local grocery shop honeys..

How's your reversing going? Still managing to go backwards without deviation?

I'm happy right now. I'm happy about being happy. I feel blessed for the gift of my and my family's happiness. Just let me finish my daughter's engine before I keel over. A couple more weeks should do it.

Yep, the grocery store honeys are exempt from the 10% rule -

Reversing? So far so good. I try not to park where I have to back out. Except when backing out of my garage onto the street - then I just lay on my horn and gun it - that reduces the exposure time -

From the Border Security show U.S. customs.
“In total there was a total of 150 kilos of drugs. That is about the same weight as two full beer kegs”

Because everybody can relate to what a beer keg weights!

Ultramaroon · 09-03-2022, 09:23 PM

TIL that a keg of beer weighs about 75 kg.

The irony because alcohol isn't a drug.
The good news is coffee doesn't rate a mention.

"In a 2010 study, experts ranked 20 legal and illegal drugs on 16 measures of harm to the user and to wider society. This includes health damage, economic costs, and crime. Overall, alcohol was the most harmful drug. MDMA (ecstasy), LSD and mushrooms were among the least harmful."

Attachment 215044

They didn’t say that the beer was the drug just that the drugs weigh as much as the beer. It is apparently part of the U.S. weights and measures now.
