@TheNotARubicon Now do the same on Face Book and you won't complain so much about Craigslist.

Trying to sell something on Craigslist is like having to deal with an entire different species of people.

@AncientHistorry Then they came to America for the World Cup and were amazed at the great food.

Most Romans never once ate a "Roman feast." The real daily diet was way stranger and more human than the movies show. The staple was puls, a thick porridge of emmer wheat. Poor families ate it morning and night for their whole lives. Rome ran on porridge long before it ran on bread. Then there was garum. Fermented fish guts left in salt under the sun for weeks until they broke down into a salty brown sauce. It smelled so bad that making it was banned inside some city limits. Romans put it on almost everything. It was their ketchup. Most people lived in apartment blocks with no kitchen, because open fires in packed wooden buildings meant the whole block burned down. So they ate out. Every street had a thermopolium, a counter with clay pots of hot food sunk into it. Stew, sausage, chickpeas, whatever was cheap that day. Ancient fast food, and you can still see the counters standing in Pompeii. Meat was a luxury for ordinary people. When they got it, it was usually pork. Sausages, offal, blood, the cheap cuts. Beef was rare because oxen were worth more alive, pulling plows. Vegetables did the heavy lifting. Cabbage, leeks, onions, garlic, lentils, fava beans, chickpeas. Cato the Elder was so obsessed with cabbage he claimed it cured basically every disease and wrote about using it as medicine. No sugar existed, so honey was the only real sweetener. They put it in wine, on cheese, even on meat. Nobody drank plain water if they could help it. Wine was watered down and sipped all day long. Poorer people and soldiers drank posca, a sour mix of vinegar and water that also killed bacteria without anyone knowing why. And the rich? Totally different world. At elite dinners they served dormice fattened in clay jars and rolled in honey, flamingo tongues, whole roast peacock, and imported spices worth more than gold. One surviving Roman cookbook reads like a dare. So the true taste of ancient Rome was not marble and grapes. It was porridge, cheap wine, and fish sauce that smelled like a dock at low tide. And they loved it.

@end3of6days9 Just about every product in the picture has an error. The Jiff peanut butter has a gold lid. The images of the cereal on the boxes looks like popcorn shrimp. The characters on the boxes are wrong. Just everything.

Summer of 1982... One detail is incorrect. Can you spot it?

@mamlam @AllegedlyDrew That's what it said. It's been like that in Europe for decades.

@cmspet @AllegedlyDrew Annually? I mean I knew cold deaths were more pervasive but that many pee annum?

When it’s 105 degrees Europeans die of heat stroke. When it’s 105 degrees Americans down a 6pack and mow the lawn shirtless. We are not the same.

Friends always ask how dark my sense of humor gets. One picture and they finally understand.

@ThrillaRilla369 30 years. It helps when you own the company.

What’s the longest amount of time you’ve worked for 1 employer? For me it was just over 5 years

Just in case anyone was curious what the criteria at CNBC is for "worst states to live in", here you go. Of course, it is exactly what you expect from a woke news organization. "To score the states for quality of life, we use hard data on factors like crime rates, air quality and healthcare. We also consider the cost and availability of childcare, inclusiveness of state laws, and reproductive rights. Some states offer exemplary quality of life. But these ten states do not make the grade". cnbc.com/2026/07/11/wor…

10 worst states to live in for 2026, per CNBC: 1. Tennessee 2. Texas 3. Indiana 4. Louisiana 5. Georgia 6. Utah 7. Missouri 8. Alabama 9. Oklahoma 10.Arkansas

@mexfinanciero @Cartel_Cal Our gas tax went up $.2 cents per gallon on July 1st and it's already the highest taxed gas in the nation. The only way to change things is to vote them out, and I get the feeling they have the system rigged well enough to make that impossible.

@cmspet @Cartel_Cal California is making a shit load of money on taxing everything, the California residents need to stand up and do something about it

California banned paper bags and started using plastic bags then California started charging for plastic bags then California banned plastic bags and now we are being charged for paper bags in California. Yes that is how retarted our state is.

@MetodoMoreira I've never seen one, but I've been outside during an electrical storm and felt an intense static like charge in the air around me. Minutes after I quickly moved from that area, lightning struck the tree I was near.

Essa câmera registrou um dos fenômenos mais impressionantes da natureza Imagina quantas pessoas foram queimadas na idade média depois de contarem pra alguém que viram isso

@alphafox It works great until you find that huge log buried about 2 inches under the mud and break a shear pin, lower unit, the prop, or all 3. I'm speaking from experience. Fished and duck hunted on San Francisco bay for the past 50 years. Mud sucks.

Always check the tide before heading out: 😧

@MemoryLaneTime You do you, I'll do me.

Just a friendly reminder to my friends older than 42: You don’t have to put 2 spaces after the period anymore. That was for the typewriter era. You're free

@LuvFreedom123 @ShadowofEzra He never married, and didn't have a wife or kids to urge him to take better care of himself. It makes a difference.

@cmspet @ShadowofEzra Hard to believe he would not be under a physician’s care at his age and with his family history. You need blood tests if on statins too. My husband is older than Graham and sees his doctors regularly. Men go to doctors. I live in South Florida and men go to doctors here.

New photos obtained by TMZ show Lindsey Graham being loaded into an ambulance in the final moments of his life. The FBI is investigating his death as speculation grows that he may have been poisoned by either Iran or Russia.

@marygrace They don't call it a monopoly for nothing. When you are about the only game in town, you can treat your customers as good or as badly as you want, and they can't do a damn thing about it. AT&T is just as bad from a customer service standpoint.

I canceled my cable recently. It took TWO HOURS on the phone. That’s another story for another day. But I still have to drop off the equipment. So now I am at the Xfinity store. I’ve been sitting here for 30 minutes waiting in line. There’s are two people in line ahead of me. I have to wait in the queue behind people who are here to buy a new phones, transfer service, troubleshoot their devices. That process can take hours. There is no process for people who are here simply to pick up or drop off equipment. This is DMV level incompetence. WHYYYYYY???

@Super70sSports I was 19, and we really hated disco that much back then.

Today in 1979, Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park goes off the rails when fans storm the field as local DJ Steve Dahl detonates records in the outfield. Chicago police arrest 39 and the White Sox forfeit the nightcap of a doubleheader with the Tigers.

@DR_ICEMAN18 @BessDbess I just looked up some used ones selling for nearly a million that are several years old. Seems like an awful lot for such a small cruiser.

@cmspet @BessDbess I was thinking the same thing that thing can’t cost 1.5 million

Watched a 1.5 million dollar boat pull up to our dock yesterday & take on a few thousand dollars in fuel. The shit you see on this lake never ceases to amaze me, there’s no end to it. 💰 💵 🛥️ 🚤

@MikeTrumanWX @BessDbess Never heard of them before, but I see that they do sell for a lot. For that kind of money I would rather get a classic and completely restore it.

@cmspet @BessDbess It's a Jeanneau DB 43 OB.

Yes, absolutely the election was rigged in 2020, but in a way I'm glad it worked out that way. Trump and the rest of America learned a lot about the left in those 4 years and what they plan on doing when they regain power. Yes, there was a lot of damage done, especially with immigration. But it opened our eyes to the theft happening right under Trump's nose during his first term. There wouldn't have been 3 attempted assassinations, Elon Musk wouldn't have been on board with Trump and Doge would not have existed. January 6th wouldn't have happened and exposed the deep state. We wouldn't be investigating massive voter fraud like we are now, and USAID would probably still be spending tens of billions around the world. Had Trump won the dems probably would be in power right now, which means someone like Hillary would be in office today. Yeah, I think it worked out just the way it was supposed to.
