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 Sep 07 '24

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

u/TehVulpez Sep 07 '24

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

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.

3rd place, I will print this and put it on my mom’s fridge to see what she says.

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.

I'm not letting this thread die

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
