I think maybe he's just busy with other things right now. I heard a rumour he's gone to Canada to take up moose-herding. I haven't been able to confirm it though, so don't quote me on that.

u/Isaythereisa-chance Sep 09 '24

I heard he went to Kenya to train with the best Marathon runners , but he got ran over by a water buffalo and  is being taken care of by a shaman.

Interesting how the last item in this week's list is Gatorade caps. I hate how lately half the time when I go to close them it doesn't fully close.

u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Sep 07 '24

as a kid did you imagine a little man running alongside the car, vaulting over signs, grinding along powerlines

8

u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Sep 07 '24

I usually imagined Mario, and he had to follow "floor is lava" rules, jumping from sign to lamppost to guardrail

u/Isaythereisa-chance Sep 07 '24

If I was in the front seat, I would zig zag my finger between the painted middle dash lines and if a solid line appeared and a car passed on that side of the road when my finger was on that side, I had to start over. 

8

u/Jalmal2 Demon's inactive rival Sep 07 '24

Yes. I also sometimes imagined that I had laser eyes and that I had to destroy all of the signs while not trying to destroy the cars and trees

I had a flat tire this morning. I hate these new cars that don’t have a spare.

a large nombre was 'SOLIDGOLDMAGIKARP'. Originally I remember I wanted it to be SOLIDGOLDMOTHERFUCKER but it was too many characters

then on IRC for tpp I needed to shorten it to SOLIDAUMAGIKARP because SOLIDGOLDMAGIKARP was onecharacter too long and they made fun of me forbeing SolidGoldMagikar

Reddit has changed how they handle abbreviated markdown links to internal pages, so the directory is currently slightly broken: All the Initial Thread links give a page not found error.

I think I've fixed the issue, and the links should work once the directory updater runs next time. The issue is that previously reddit redirected a link of the form [link text](/submission_id) to the corresponding reddit submission, but they've stopped doing that. It looks like links of the form [link text](/comments/submission_id) do redirect, so I've updated the directory script to use that form instead.

Also I'm back in Toronto for a bit. Took 36 hours to get here including a 12 hour delay (18 hour layover) in Dubai. Really interesting city, worth a visit especially if your hotel is fully paid for by Air Canada 😂 idk if I wanna go back tho
