Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

I was thinking of giving this a spin on DVD tonight, but ended up going with Clint in "Fistful of Dollars".
With a fistful of dollars, you can buy cabbage, peanut butter, beans, and other affect foods. Then you can really go to town. Not to be confused with effects which can also produce distorted tones.

dubious like
... excessive gas to me as a gall bladder-free human means something else is brewing
I...uhhh...got nuthin'.
Maybe not enough beer then. Gas in beer can take the form of a burp, or be a stinker and go out the back door. Either way, it has to come out.
A guy I knew in my Navy days lived on beer, beans and franks, hard boiled eggs and black coffee. He could clear a room.
Staying with the theme. I installed a new toilet seat tonight. The old one had a “feature” where it can pop off for cleaning. I didn’t buy it for the feature, it was on sale. Why would you want to pop your seat off for cleaning? It isn’t like you’d want to put it in the dishwasher. The old one wasn’t that old but it kept detaching when you’d least expect it. The new one isn't a pop off, it’s also not supposed to swing left or right. We’ll see.
Uhh...during usage?
OK, how? That thing's gotta go.
EDIT: I have a weather/radar site already in the PC.

Unfortunately, yes. It wouldn’t allow leaning to either side without sliding off. I had to replace it right smartly.
Better to burp and taste it than to fart and waste it.
Right click anywhere on the tool bar. Then click on "News And Inserts->" in the pop-up menu. Then click on "Turn Off". Voila; the weather icon on the toolbar is GONE!
Yeah, on my last big MS update I was unpleasantly surprised to find a new pop up window when I hovered over the toolbar. Also sick of the worthless message icon in the bottom right that insists on coming back even though I tell it to go away permanently.

This is the first I've been in an actual crowd of living human beings since lockdown. It's a cool morning at the growers' market. The gruff guy is still gruff, but not too gruff to sell me a bone for Odin. And returning with the great treasures of open air shopping, I notice
What I notice is a lot of people didn't take well to lockdown. On the surface things look the same but ... ah but I can take weekly shopping trips. And it's all the same core crowd at the same hour. Typically I circle the lot before I buy anything. Back in the old country we watch the master chef to see where he buys, and that lucky vendor will be sold out before the sun's over the top of the trees.
Whulp this is my old country now, I'll have to do and find it fascinating to know who's ̶h̶o̶w̶ who. I know who I buy from. That I buy from the gruff guy who is held by some in my field of acquaintance to be that mechanism required to pass wind. Funny old world.
@Winslow yup the pilot was the gold standard in disposable pens. Desk pens connected to the base with a chain are a fixture in banks that, if they still exist, don't exist in any recognizable form.
Our handwriting teacher who has rather a bit of a temper
Thunder and lightning! You little imps!
presents a cardboard tray of "good" pens for our school lessons in cursive. They are blue ballpoint pens with long tails. The grip is like the grip on the Pilot.
Joined writing!
Within a couple school years the boys are sent off to learn how to print neatly in drafting classes. To the typewriter for me, back row of the classroom with a huge black manual typewriter. There are no letters on the keys. The diagram of the typewriter keyboard is above the blackboard, and that's where I learn to look to type.
Mayhap at university one earns a bit of coin typing papers for guys who print their finals neatly enough to decipher.
clack clack
To buy a ream of paper is nothing at all. It's rag-content paper, really good, and affordable to students. Can barely find that today. Paper making has become as boutique as any industry ... bell goes off we have a paper maker in an art colony mentioned way upthread and IIRC I said someone who makes his own paper and casts his own type really needs a sex life

When I bought my last laptop it was one of the few still loaded with Win7. The IT fellow that steered me to it also fixed it so that MS could not stealthy load Win 10 on it. He said if you don’t it will download it whether or not you wanted it, even if you did not implement it it would occupy your hard drive. And that is a lot of memory used up.Yeah, on my last big MS update I was unpleasantly surprised to find a new pop up window when I hovered over the toolbar.

I would like to add a wise motto to live by ..
Never (and I mean never) trust a fart...
Which brings up motto #2...
Do farts have lumps?
