I had a problem with this as well, which has sometimes caused me to go to a 2 year sock cycle. Basically, once I see the first few I have to toss due to holes/threadbare I know the rest are at over 90% done, so no longer "perfectly good"

I disagree with ya there. I have some socks that are easily 20 years old that are still perfectly fine even if their litter mates are long gone. I wouldn't be surprised if I still have some socks from my college days.

Basically, once I see the first few I have to toss due to holes/threadbare I know the rest are at over 90% done, so no longer "perfectly good". Add in the mental streamlining I gain for not needing to spend as much in mental cycles on "sock management", and it's a net win for me. And this is a low cost if I want to think of it as "socks as a service" being that the Sam's socks are good, and also cheap.

OTOH, my underwear protocol I opt for the "spend more now, extend life" option. That's Duluth Trading bare naked boxers for me. I used to do the same process with boxers I did with socks. Then @Mrs. Haus bought me some Duluth boxers. I shit you not the first pair I had to throw out was because of elastic giving out some, and they were well over 10 years old, fabric still perfectly good, just elastic giving out. So I spent the extra money (watching to catch them on sale of course because I'm a cheap ass bastard). $15-20 a pair for boxers seems insane to "Haus in his 20's", but it ends up breaking down to $1.50-$2 per year per pair. These things last so long that if I buy a pair now there's a better than zero chance they will be the boxers I die of old age in.

Spending a little more for lasting quality is definitely something I've had to work on.

Well, doesn't hurt that I'm hitting the age where, especially for moderately durable goods, I look at something as "Could this be the last one of these I ever need to buy?" Which I admits rustles me just a tiny bit.

Well I’m not quite there, but definitely aware of its impending arrival.

When I buy a car the goal is "Maintain it well, and drive it until wheels fall off". Right now there's a good chance the next car I buy will get me into my 70's or later (assuming we don't force everybody off ICE engines)

Went through SEVEN consecutive rounds of captia tests to get into Steam account (new phone doesn't have the stupid authenticator) and it says it failed to recognize. K, guess I'm never using Steam again?

The stupid ones where you have to click all squares of a bus or something, and there's 1 pixel of the bus in a square. Like, do you click it? Am I a robot and that's why I fail these?

The ones that piss me off are "select all squares that contain a motorcycle" and there are no motorcycles in the picture. Just scooters. Like, what's the right fucking answer here? Does the moron who made this know the difference?

posted about this before, my house is north, a few house down the street changes to south and starts counting up. about 8 house down on the same street a house has the same # but is south. the guy has a ok sized garage and he likes to build trucks, sidebysides, motorcycles etc. it is like the hangout/repair shop for his friends, so he gets a lot of packages, but every new driver screws up and drops them off at my house.
in the kitchen making a sandwich when i hear a loud thump from the front of the house. open the door, there are 4 big boxes blocking my door. like 1 is like 7'x2'x1' another the size of a 75' tv, but maybe a 16" thick. look down the walk and fedex dude is getting something else off the truck. tell him it is the wrong house and explain it to him. he says, they used to have tablets and could plot the route, but now they have to use the little handheld thingy. he looked so defeated after carrying the shit up my steps, i help he load the 3 heavy/big boxes.
i have 9 steps up to the porch, the top banister has a clearly visible house number with a 4" high N under it.
think this summer going to write my address on the step risers in big letters.

Let’s talk about the problem here.

The flat chested mayo sandwich lady has propagated - and is carrying on humans with a child… artificially with a bottle, although breast size rarely indicates milk production- just alluring to the source of life.

Yet the one who has the assets of these thing, looks at the child with horror, shock or most likely disgust… wearing provocative clothing the one that has the signs of breeding and growth of civilization chooses to be a whore, shunning her innate life giving desires of womanhood.

Web development bullshit in general. But today specifically: what in the actual fuck, TIL fucking mobile devices don't have hover?

Not like "oh you have to do a special mystical gesture for it". I mean they actually don't have it? There is no special bullshit code I can add that will make it work, its just not there? What the fuck? Is there nothing about the internet mobile devices won't break?

Putting different shit in your webpage for the paste gobbling fucksticks who prefer a 3 inch screen is one thing. But now an entire concept is just gone because these assfucks can't be bothered to browse the web on a normal device?

Long press works as a pseudo hover, depending on the website. It's not great and you have to deal both the website's frontend code and the phone's OS interpreting the long press simultaneously, but it will get hover-sensitive menus and context. Sometimes.
