There's a legitimate pizza place around me that's been around for ~50 years. My mom went to school with the owners children and when she was in high school their dad had a small stint in jail for tax evasion and unregistered and hot guns. Apparently he was importing a lot of guns from Italy and one day a shipment got caught. About 10 years ago, my mom became friends with someone who was hired to do their taxes. She didn't give any details, but she told us the numbers really didn't add up and she had to drop them as a client their first year due to ethical reasons.

The thing is the pizza is really good and kind of an institution in my town. I wouldn't say it is strictly a front, but money does move through it. The family also owns a lot of small strip malls in the tri county area and some historical properties as well.

Oh and one of the sons married one of their 2nd/3rd cousins from Italy in the 90s. The rumor was it was just to help her get citizenship but they are still married to this day and it's kinda weird.

It has to match their Punisher sticker duh

Some of us never had a flashlight.

I had a family member try to get me to listen in 13 and even then it was bullshit. I really never listened to it but I'm guessing it just became more blatant as time moved on

Pizza Scissors. Great for frozen pizzas so you can cut it up right out of the oven without waiting for the cheese to cool off. It's also great for cutting dough and just having a 2nd pair of kitchen shears if your normal pair was used to cut raw meat.

Ahhh Primus. The band I liked as a kid because they were funny and then growing up to realize they are incredible musicians. The albums Claypool did with John Lennon's son a few years ago are pretty good if you haven't listened to them yet.

I'm at about 50/50. I realized I would just scroll a lot through junk and got some time back by not doing that. I set up an RSS feed for a few news websites that has replaced reddit for current events and tech news I care about.

However I haven't found a good replacement for hobby boards or video games I'm currently playing. I'm on a few game discords but I hate the chat format. I would rather have threads I could read about specifics topics instead of catching up on 100 post an hour with no order. For hobbies, I found that the fediverse has me covered on the selfhosted front, but things like comic books and vinyl really hasn't taken off that much here.

The movie Tusk has a small part where the main character went to interview their universe's star wars kid. Made the whole thing a little less fun.

This is not how it works and I believe you know this. Fuck off

Count his fingers, not AI ;P

What sites have issues with Firefox? I've been using firefox exclusively since 06 besides trying chrome for 2009-2010 and never had any issues. Not saying they don't exist but it seems like a very small amount that won't function at all.

A full Nick GAS collection. I have a good amount of show and all the bumpers, but there's a shows missing a few episodes.

Stuck in Missouri taking care of my grandparents and my wife's parents. I've been wanting to move out of this shithole since I was 13. Now, I have to worry about reproductive issues with my high risk wife as it seems like we are hunkering down here entering our 30s.

Held my chiweenie up like this to my wife last week and said look long dog. After a puzzling look I realized my meme game ended a decade ago.

I need my coffee. I clicked on the link expecting to see the cost of hot air balloons being incredibly high.

Fun fact, textfiles is Jason Scott's site. He's the head archivist at internet archive. Always doing cool stuff if youre bored and have some time to blow this morning.

Was just singing Crabs by weebl at work today. Hope they're doing fine.

Funny part is the tax lady who refused to do their taxes was a confirmation sponsor of one of his grandkids.

Snagged an 840 G6 for a little more than 100 and it's working fine. Had the company send me a new touchpad and there hasn't been an issue since

Damn I knew it was from something I saw before! I thought it was from here though

I got whiplashing seeing that reply. Definitely need to check it out

I love how much I can see around me, but the windows are huge and my job doesn't have covered parking. Did you tint them all or just a few?

I've been a fan of Continue? for over a decade. Just a weekly let's play series that's kept the spirit of the early 2010 gaming YouTube alive.

I'm starting to want to learn chess after learning about the password game. I need to go get further!

The "cheese" on frozen pizza usually gets pulled by the pizza cutter if it isn't cooler a little bit before hand. Might just be from buying target pizza cutters, as a ceramic one I had a decade ago worked like a charm. But I still see it as kitchen sheers with a study base/platform > a good pizza cutter.

We Love Katamari might have a better soundtrack depending on the listener. I find myself humming more of We Loves soundtrack than the first game

Try Luck be a landlord. We have eerily the same taste in games and Luck be a landlord has been my favorite game of the last few years. There's a demo if you wanna try before you buy

Why spend money on toxins when buildings already have the necessary tools

With the whole Netflix fiasco I offered to set up a VPN at my brother in law's house (primary account holder) to get around it. Everyone was on board until I tried to show them how to use it. Now we are all giving him a few extra bucks a month because of the convenience for non tech people.

The best part is they all have access to my Plex server and just have to ask to get something. Maybe Ombi might be worth setting up.
