The thing people always forget when talking about suicide cords is that if you're using it as an adapter to plug in your xmas lights because you strung them up backwards... that means you now have an exposed hot male plug at the other end just hanging in your bushes somewhere.

Yeah once the brake cans are submerged it's just a matter of time before they rot. Especially in salt water.

It's not our responsibility to prevent you from burning down your house with your christmas lights. So gently caress you too, buddy.

Though do post pictures of your burnt down house with Griswold grade lighting.

The truly weird/disassociating thing is reading about submarines on Wikipedia because the editors anthropomorphize the subs and refer to them as "she" while somehow removing/absolving the people involved.

marine vessels are traditionally referred to using female pronouns for some stupid ancient reason, so that part at least isn't some insanity that wikipedia came up with

English used to have grammatical genders like other European languages, but between all the different language influences from neighbors alternately raiding, conquering, and trading, it became easier to drop grammatical gender and declension from everything but pronouns. And ships.

Grammatical gender is still important for some other languages because otherwise it might be ambiguous if the dog is biting you or if you're biting the dog

Yeah I totally get that but reading this passage and it sounds like it's an autonomous gundam:

wikipedia posted:

Seawolf sailed out of Surabaya on 15 February and began patrolling in the Java Sea-Lombok Strait area. On 19 February, she fired four torpedoes at two Japanese freighter-transports in the Badung Strait. Damage to one was not ascertained, but the other was reported last seen down by the stern and listing to starboard. (However, Sagami Maru had been damaged by USAAF air attack, not by Seawolf's torpedo.)

A week later, she fired her stern tubes at a freighter and watched one hit forward of the bridge before going deep to evade depth charges from an escorting destroyer at which she had also fired. In March, Seawolf was hunting between Java and Christmas Island.

You just outed yourself as not knowing what a Leatherman multi-tool is.

I carry one in my riding bag, and it gets used more than any other tool I carry.

(hands in her nerd card) I do know what a Leatherman is, but I've never actually held one. (your double-entendre goes here.)

The umbrella is no more. It has ceased to be.

There are probably some little bits of metal here and there, anything flammable is long gone.
