Introducing CarbonCore BoroTex with GroundToClouds Terra-Teflon Technology. What’s it mean? It means if you don’t have it, you’re not ReallyOutdoors.
It’s finally here, even though we can’t describe what this bullshit really is. We’re kidding, totally fucking around with you; we can tell you exactly what it is. It’s an uncompromising flex that won’t bend. It’s soaking wet but bone dry. It’s long but short, hot but cold. It’s faster speed with slower torque than ever before. It’s a total contradiction at all times; totally the same and totally different. Simply put, it is everything we say it is, plus the opposite of that, in case you want that instead.
Blame Donald Trump and all too many of his followers, but don’t just blame him or them. Yes, he was indeed responsible for the nightmare of January 6, 2021, and, in his own fashion, for the incitement of right-wing militia (terror!) groups like the Proud Boys.

I have to do everything. Anyway, it’s time to locate the detonator.
Do you have a protective suit, honey? I bet you look so precious in a protective suit. It’s not patronizing—what does that even mean?

August is traditionally a month when many in the northern hemisphere go on a much needed holiday from the heat and enjoy a well-deserved break from work.
However, this will not stop our Pitch-burgh contest winners, who were incredibly excited about starting the work and demonstrating how an open source competition like this can deliver cost-effective benefits for the Drupal project.
