Yeah that would be smart. They have a pretty dysfunctional relationship. She's an absolute nightmare and he's a huge misogynist so he considers her crazy behavior "standard woman behavior". Both of them have been miserable for decades.

    Years later I ran into a woman who just... never changed her oil. She was aware that oil changes were a thing, but she said, "Oh, I don't do that." She simply bought (or maybe leased, IDK) a new car every couple of years and traded in her rolling tomb of sludge. And yeah, her husband handled anything critical in the household.

    I thought maybe that solved the riddle, but depressing to think how many people must be like that.

    I ran into some people during my time in retail that made me question how they survived to adulthood. The scariest part was that visiting the shop required operating a motor vehicle.

    Yeah, if you've ever been to any beach in SoCal and looked at the richie rich houses crammed there it's immediately obvious that they are a terrible idea. Lots of them have pilings and plastic tarps draped over the hillside trying to stop erosion. Almost like building on a sand dune isn't smart.

    Holy shit, deep memory, I've seen this book in person. It was at the community library in a building where I lived. Everyone assumed it was some white elephant gift that got slipped onto the shelves out of embarrassment.

    In this episode Butters is visiting Niagara Falls as a tourist, but he is arrested for being a foreigner. Nobody cares about his passport or the fact he was there "legally" and he gets funneled into a huge prison facility called "Alberta Alcatraz".

    After several scary experiences he is in line for a phone call. When he gets to the front the guard pretends to not understand what he is asking for.

    • Guard: WELL, what do YOU WANT?
    • Butters: Uhh I want to make a phone call, please.
    • Guard: Puh-hone call? Puh-hone? What's that?
    • Butters: I don't understand mister. I'd like to call someone on that phone.
    • Guard: Oh THIS? DO YOU MEAN-

    The guard lets out a long, trumpet-like fart that sounds like, "fooooooooooone".

    • Butters: Wha--- what?
    • Guard 2: YEAH! YOU MEAN- (farting) foooooooooooone!

    Apparently this is how Canadians make the word, "phone".

    • Guard 2: HEY THIS LITTLE YANK CAN'T SAY- (farting) ffhhhooooooone!!
    • Guard: HAHA!!! (farting) fuuuooooooooooooooone!

    All guards start laughing at Butters and farting "fooooone". They can all apparently do this quite naturally.

    • Butters: B-but, I don't have to fart right now.
    • Guard: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO LEARN TO SPEAK CANADIAN!

    Butters resolves to save up his farts to get his phone call. Several days pass. Now trembling and sweating, a pale Butters can barely stand in line.

    • Butters: Oh man... I gotta make it...

    The inmate in front of him effortlessly farts "foooooooooone" and is let ahead. Butters is up.

    • Guard: YEAH? WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TIME?
    • Butters: I want... I want... I... uh... UH.... ahhH!!

    Butters loses control of his bowels and sprays shit in all directions, then collapses. Everyone around yells in disbelief and disgust.

    A large inmate walks up and looks down.

    • It's OK little buddy, my cousin had that same speech impediment.

    Then I woke up.

    Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

    I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    

    I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.
