Seriously, ask anyone you know for a referral to a Personal Shopper.

They'll provide you with curated choices that meet the requirements you do have, such as avoiding fabrics you don't like, or no skirts, or whatever.

You try them at home, not in a fluorescent-lit glorified animal pen.

Not until they have chimneys, apparently.

I bought my first laser printer at an office equipment surplus sale in the early '90s for $80. It was a Xerox behemoth that weighed close to 100 pounds, and you poured toner into it from a bottle.

It emulated a Xerox Diablo daisywheel printer, so had the equivalent of four fonts, I think.

It drew over a kilowatt when printing, and made all the lights flicker in my apartment at the time.
I abandoned it to a recycler when I moved out.

At the moment I have a monochrome Brother MFC, and a Xerox color laser.

Now, hear me out… What if door dash or whoever *planted* this story with every intention of having it exposed as a hoax, so that when the true, almost identical story inevitably comes out, any attempt to search for it or ask a LLM about it will return "it was a hoax".

My pharmacy insurance is handled by CareMark. Who owns/is owned by CVS.

In my state, if I want a 90-day supply of any of my meds, the only pharmacy that can fill that is… CVS. Out of spite, I use a different pharmacy, but have to refill every 30 days. The cost works out the same, they just have to turn the knife…

"Now he seems to regret it—though he still hasn’t apologized directly or acknowledged that he was wrong"

He hasn't apologized or acknowledged that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford, either. Kind of a pattern.

And there's a significant difference between a commercial aircraft carrying 350 passengers across an ocean or two, and a tech bro hopping on his G5 to grab lunch in another time zone…

Correct, it's Moshidon for Android.
But as far as I can tell, it's getting the point across.

What I see:

Works for me.

Everyone remembers their first time.

How about we just use existing dating sites for this, and lure actual Nazis into the woods…

@skinnylatte
And the stalker and his concubine closed the actual schools they built for brown kids:

It's going to be a nightmare when all the foreign and domestic surveillance devices interfere with each other.

They really need to hold a spectrum auction before this goes too far…

Faneuil Hall is full of out-of-state *tourist* super mutants. You want South Boston.
