Even the English one is from the 1950s, there’s so many more phrases used these days that are highly regionally dependent, not even just an American English vs British English but different cities will sometimes have their own preferences.

Basically, “Shut your dick hole,” correct?

That said, I need a PSOne ODE. My stack of PS1s still run fine.
Obviously, yes is the answer. Partners and kids don’t prevent you from doing anything. Hell, your partner might play with you and the kids might watch.
Only problem is that kids learn “mine” before they learn “I can’t pause Dark Souls, let me get to a safe spot and I’ll refill the goldfish, I don’t want to lose these… Damnit.”

Stacks nicely in a backpack? You know how much crap goes in a medium ruck? How’s Jenkins gonna find my stash of disk nades under my spare ammo and ‘field stripped’ MREs? No, I need my grenades quick access, on my chest next to the repurposed saw pouch full of rip-its.
I once had a broken headlight and also broke pockets, so I grabbed some packing tape and made a new one. I was at an AutoZone and the guy looked at my car, looked at me and said “that won’t last past the first storm” to which my response was “it’s held up for three months. I’ll take my chances.” and it held up until the seals on the transmission blew out after driving it across the country again.

BigPotato@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.English8·2 months agoYeah but the app also does remote control / viewing. The transfer is a bonus of being able to quickly do the transfer and text it to someone right away.
Of course, none of this matters because I don’t have Chrome on my new phone and can’t even create the stupid account if I wanted to.
Also, can’t find information about which version they rolled that out in and get an older version.

The klobasniky is technically what they’re referring to with the generic ‘kolache’, but don’t get it twisted, the true kolache is Czech. If anything the false kolache klobasniky is the TX made Czech food.
The Czech Stop still fights the good fight but every Asian Donut place lists Kolache when they mean sausage roll.
