Random Stuff, Seen on the net that made me LoL
Duplicating the thread at BBF originally created by Fing, who hopefully is still with us (he disappeared from both BBF and Facebook 4 years ago at the height of the pandemic).
This does seem to be the way it works lol!

Ahh good idea, we need an ongoing thread for stuff like this.
So true about USB. Unless it's got a raised dot on the connector to indicate the up side, I always seem to get it wrong the first time.
Yeah, it's been a long time for Fing. I hope he's OK. It is the internet though, a lot of the time you never know what ever became of someone when they have moved on. It's also ominous, because that's what can happen with Covid, too. Sudden.

Re: Random Stuff, Seen on the net that made me LoL
I just got an email from one of those ancestry sites (I've been doing quite a bit of genealogy stuff over the last couple of years) and apparently I'm related to Queen Elizabeth II. She was my 13th cousin once removed on my mother's side.
So there's your utterly irrelevant thing for the day.

It doesn't matter for anything, but it is interesting.
I've never gone and looked up my ancestors. I know nothing before great grandparents on both sides of the family.

I started because I wanted to trace my birth parents and did a DNA test. Since then I've discovered a lot of things, actually found and met my father and family on his side (but not my mother, though I have information on her).
Turns out I have a cousin named Bobby Singer as well, not the tv producer just the same name, and am related to Robert de Warren the ballet guy, not that I'm likely to ever meet him but he's my grandmother's cousin.

I just heard about the Boeing whistleblower who was found dead from a gunshot wound.
Re: Random Stuff, Seen on the net that made me LoL
I heard something about a Boeing whistleblower, but didn't get the meme because I hadn't heard about the murder.
I'm sure it was just a coincidence.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

For the mayonnaise fanboys lol!
I've been seeing these on FB lately by someone who always emphasizes that the images were generated by AI and not real.

I think Google is insisting on that now, for youtube videos. I'm seeing that on vids now.
You sure like to taunt me with mayonnaise!![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Heh... someone had to think of that. I haven't seen a 7/11 store in a long time, I used to like them in cities I lived in. They had good little cheeseburgers in foil under heat lamps and stuff. Go there at 4 AM and that was good sustenance ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
That book cover looks awfully familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere in my years, those How and Why Wonder books were everywhere. I guess the joke there is "Why are the horses running, mommy" (because she farted while reading you a bed time story). That's the only "actual fuck" I can assign a "what" to.

Saw this on FB.

If those are real products, that nose would poke you right in the spine ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Random Stuff, Seen on the net that made me LoL
Well, I'm tired of having mayonnaise coughed out my nose, so I have something else for your gastronomic delights. There is no end to the gourmet culinary ideas on the Internet from other cultures, to put that pizzaz back in your life.

Time for another dose of mayonnaise lol!

That green shit looks like spinach, which is otherwise good on pizza (some types, anyway)
But mayonnaise on pizza? Somebody has to die for that... just like the owner of the Segway company. I want them to die choking on mayonnaise pizza

Re: Random Stuff, Seen on the net that made me LoL
Hahah... now that's more practical. Burn nasty fucking diesel to do it, too ![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
(I hate those things... your whole life revolves around charging those stupid things. You'd have to do it at home too, as there aren't many places you could plug in around here (and right now they are free but that's going to change right quick) and it takes too long to have to do that during a trip anyway.)
My parents have an early Ford hybrid model (they don't make them like that anymore), that automatically charges the batteries with an alternator when it's using the engine. THAT's practical, they go to the city for doctors appointments and shit and almost never have to stop for gas. Even the hybrids are stupid now, they are hybrids but you have to plug in the batteries to charge them.

Re: Random Stuff, Seen on the net that made me LoL
There's a company called Edison Motors that builds diesel electric trucks (and makes conversion kits for existing trucks) with the same type of drive train as a diesel electric locomotive. They have no drive shafts, the engine powers a generator which powers electric motors on the axles.
Re: Random Stuff, Seen on the net that made me LoL
It sounds counter-intuitive, but that makes sense. When the wheels aren't spinning, or not spinning very fast, there's no need to waste energy powering a drive shaft that's not engaged, or inhibited by gearing and braking. You can be charging the batteries with the unused current being generated when the generator is running etc.
