All these years later, and her character is one of my least liked. The actress's portayal was so good, it still makes me irrationally angry to this day. I can feel the condescension in this image

It's hilarious that people think I'm some kind of problem solver for all of their random issues they send over. I've even told them when they send me their errors - I literally copy and paste it into google (and now bing b/c google is becoming cluttered with garbage). Some of them just can't wrap their head around just googling the error code or error string.

Maybe the one thing we can do is filter out the irrelevant answers, and choose the correct/closest solution, that way they don't have to wade into the mess

There's the R360 Neptune which was originally a Soviet era anti-ship missle. Ukraine has since turned it into a land attack weapon. At this point I'm fairly confident Ukrainians could find a way to weaponize a rotten tomato if they had a large enough stockpile

Obligatory (there are several versions of this, but this is my favourite 😁 ):

A World War II RAF pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force.

"In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.

At this point, several of the children giggle.

I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."

At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company"

"That's true," says the pilot, "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmits."
