Indeed, holding the pair of scissors from this column.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go tend to this wall in my basement. You know how it is.

Ooh! Ooh! Are we doing JTHM again? That means I get to post this picture one more time:

At the beep, it has been 7 months and 19 days and Amazon still has not found my camera.

Beep.

I know where it is. You know where it is. Amazon shipped it loose in its manufacturer's packaging which plainly broadcast "steal me" to the entire universe and their third party totally-not-an-employee contractor delivery driver stole it. But they'll totally refund me any day now. Juuuuust as soon as it makes it back to their warehouse!

Instead I charged back my credit card. I'll never make a big ticket purchase on Amazon ever again.

You should try opening my heat treating kiln when it's been cooking at 1875° F.

Don't stand too close if you're wearing clothing made of synthetic fibers.

I thought that too for a while, but the shine has worn off of photochromics for me because all the ones I've owned have lasted grand total of about a year or in some cases less before they've worn out and no longer darken in the sun. The longest lasting chunk of the stuff I've ever managed to own was the visor on my motorcycle helmet, a Bell Qualifier DLX, but that also had the tradeoff of never actually getting dark enough to be useful so I had to wear normal sunglasses under it anyway which really rather defeats the purpose.

Instead when I'm feeling particularly cyberpunk these days I bust out my old pair of CTRL shades. They have their own inherent drawback though, in that even though I managed to score my pair free through my job at the time I'm still afraid to do anything heavy duty while wearing them lest I break the damn things. That's because it'd cost me $300 for another pair.

It still is, but nobody cares anymore. At 16:9 1920x1080 is considered "Full High Definition," and 3840x2160 (at minimum) is "Ultra High Definition," at least in terms of their official marketing speak. The latter has mutated to include both 4K and 8K content somehow, apparently because the brainworms in the marketing department ran out of superlatives after "Ultra."

And here is someone who has absolutely at some point in history modified the source code to GORILLAS.BAS.

And 867-5309.

What, like cable television?

Ah, yes. I see you are working on an Audi.

Idiots who want to generate nanoseconds' worth of free fleeting internet clout, I suppose. And here's me who can't even be bothered to edit my bird photos before posting them.

No, no no. That's only if you do it. If a huge corporation does it, see, that's different. Corporations are "people" for the purposes of free speech (with money) or even voting (example), but when it comes time to throw somebody in jail for overtly criminal behavior, all of the sudden the legal system can't find anyone to target.
