I bet a hardened (arteries) Southerner could, and then deep fry it.
so preoccupied with whether you could, something something.
We have stories here that have already switched out the Halloween stuff for Christmas stuff.
I took a photo in Costco on Sept 15 of their Christmas display. Because I couldnāt believe it, and I wanted proof.
Yeah. I had a buddy in the late 60ās/early 70ās who figured that out, and every time he called, he wouldnāt hang up just to bug my sisters and I. Weād pick up the phone to make a call, and heād be there, just breathing heavy.
Then one night, Mom needed to make a call, and that happened. She asked who was on the phone last and who were we talking to. When she figured out who it was, she picked up the phone and gave him what for, and told him she was going to talk with his mother. That stopped it.
I think that sometime later, it was no longer possible to do that stupid trick, but I canāt remember when. Maybe mid-70ās?
Itās gotta be more recent because I remember it working in the 90s - unless different bells had different rules
Itās possible that I just donāt remember anybody doing it after that, so you could be right.
It was still like that in the 90s for me as well. And public phone books with full names, numbers and addresses for every person in the city, just zero consideration for security back then.
Probably depended on what kind switches were in the central office.
Why canāt I eat grilled cheese and tomato soup every day?
I give up! Why canāt you eat grilled cheese and tomato soup every day?
Is there some sort of cheese shortage?!!!
Personally, I go semi-old school. Whatever wheat type bread my wife will tolerate, American cheese, margarine. And Campbellās Tomato with some milk stirred in.
I like to add roast beef to my grilled cheese. Sometimes with swiss and chedder.
Itās like a Zen koan.
Just been doing some reading about the history of the town I grew up in and still live in (Bismarck, ND), and I came upon this hailstorm we had on June 9, 2001. The hail filled underpasses. More pics in the link.
Hereās the same underpass (shot from the other side) before the loader started clearing it out:
What a mess! Thatās up near the hospital, right? You guys get rocked by weather a bit much up there. Between the river flooding, the crazy storms that come through, etc.
I have a couple for you, @Giles_Habibula
This is me playing around in a Kubota as well as a Bobcat at an inside location if you can believe that, which is kind of between the Airport and Samās Club. The floor here is 20 some feed deep, and they have the ability to create rain and a few other inclement weather situations so that they can either do engineering assessments or training with customers, etc.
Thatās cool. Thatās the big newer Doosan/Bobcat building that kind of sits by itself kind of on the way out to Lincoln, right? Not the one on S. 26th or Airport Road?
Edit: This one.
It sure is. Lots of very cool stuff there inluding a cold room that is rated to -40 so they can test units at very cold operating temps.
Itās crazy how much engineering goes into making things that in general most people dont know about. I was impressed.
