I had a 2000 Toyota Sienna minivan I'd still be driving if I hadn't been rear-ended in 2013 and the insurance company decided to total it because replacing the rear door would cost too much.

It was still getting sticker gas mileage. And oh man, it made Ikea trips easy as hell. I miss that storage space.

But I'm loving the extra 10 MPG I'm getting from my Camry.

A man walks into a brothel, walks up to the madam and pulls out his penis, which is the size of a baby carrot.

The madam sneers at it and says "who are you going to please with that?"

The man says "me."



A man goes to the doctor and says "doc, I have a problem" and pulls out his penis, which is the size of a baby carrot. The doctor starts laughing, calls in the nurse who looks and starts laughing. Soon the whole office is in the exam room, laughing their heads off. The man gets angry.

Absolutely yes. Polarized lenses cut down on so much glare, though they makes some LCD screens unreadable.

Is it the rainbow effect? Some motorcycle shields get it real bad with polarized lenses.

But yeah I agree mirrored lenses are just too douchey

I get rainbow effect on LCD screens (like gas pumps and my car's radio display), my last pair of polarized sunglasses just made the screens unreadable. I think it has to do with the angle the lenses are set in the frames. I used to know more about how this poo poo worked because I worked for an optometrist, but it's been so long it's all fallen out of my head.

But yeah, the rainbow effect is caused by the polarization of the lenses.

My uncle served in Vietnam and I had always assumed it was around '65-'66 because he was older than my dad, who enlisted in the Air Force in '67. He was visiting this spring and we got to talking and it turns out he was actually there from '67 to '68, skipping town juuuust before Tet.

But to hear him tell his stories, you'd have thought he was in Germany or something. He was a clerk, not a grunt, so his experience was vastly different.

That's really well done. Mind elaborating on what all you did for it?

I bought someone else's pack on eBay, took a Dremel to it to make room for an electronics kit I'd purchased, and then put it together.

I installed a speaker, drilled holes for sound to pass through the back, and drilled a hole for the battery leads so I wouldn't have to open the shell to charge the battery. The battery is externally mounted. Ideally I'll never have to open it up again.

To this day, my favorite PBS documentary is Carrier. It's broken up into ten parts, and follows (duh) an aircraft carrier over the course of deployment to the Middle East. It does a really great job of showing how the vastness of the open ocean affects people, for better and for worse. Whole lot of dudes either go stir crazy or find religion.

There's also an amazing amount of enlisted.txt, especially whenever the ship stops in port. I haven't watched the whole documentary in half a decade, but if memory serves, the sexual abuse prevention petty officer ends up busted for sexual assault. I was legit surprised the U.S. Navy gave PBS free access to the crew; it doesn't make the Navy look like a great place to work.

The episodes are posted up online at the PBS website, but you could probably find higher-res copies floating around the internet.

http://www.pbs.org/weta/carrier/

I know it was on Amazon Prime Video for awhile, might still be available for rent or purchase.

My favorite part was the racist white dude getting thrown out of the Navy for being a racist getting drunk as gently caress and buddying up with a black dude, then being all "there's no way I did that" when sober.

Well, that's "unemployed" for a lot of people, so not a high bar to hurdle.

The best financial planning story I've ever heard came from Rooster Teeth. When they organized into a real company, they brought in a financial planner to talk to them about setting up for retirement. One of them dismissed the idea out of hand.

As an example of how female obesity is treated differently than male obesity, look at the stereotype of the 'Dependapotamous'. There's this assumption that the spouse of a servicemember will be fat, lazy, pop out lots of kids, and be seen as a general drain on society. As far as I know, there's no male equivalent- there's not some cadre of neckbeards with wives that are off in Iraq or Afghanistan while their husbands play X-box and buy twinkies in the commissary.
