Good life advice
Fair. I was kind of stuck on "where did this trend originate" and also "why the fuck are we complaining about VBS again?"
I remember this exact complaint in the 90s. Have I fallen into some sort of Time Vortex?
I hate vulture capitalism and I hate everything about this but fyi, sewing friends
fetlife, the premiere lifestyle and social networking website for transistor enthusiasts
Today's accomplishment: replaced the old flex vent the professional installers reused instead of using all the vent pipe I'd provided for them with rigid vent, installed the cordless vacuum in the new spot. Eventually we'll design and build shelving for the space.
Only got as far as putting in rss links (which was unnecessarily difficult because old app didn't have a way to copy them out) but this *feels* like what I've been wanting for years. Thanks again.
how tall are the National Guard vehicles they're sending to Boston? *looks at Storrow Drive* just wondering
VIOLENT IN, CRIME RED, RATES STATES
Javier Mayoral
You can't swing an autumn weekend without hitting a small town that's cute as shit in western mass. I think that's the Berkshire tourism bureau's slogan. Hudson is where I spend more time. It's funky and cool if a little of-the-moment. Hope u first nd a good un!
Also sharing from this point to demonstrate the show's creator promoting the link. He says farther down he's been informed it will not appear on streamers because it wouldn't recoup the lawyer fees to make the deal.
This is one of my favorite shows of all time, no joke. Please watch it if you dig whimsy.
They can say “voluntary” all they want but this is forced relocation and ethnic cleansing. It’s being done for profit and cruelty and it’s being done in our names as Americans and as Jews. This is crime against humanity shit and everyone should be able to point out that obvious fact
Worked great for me, but was it?
It kind of is, though, in context and when sung by people who can emote that they like each other.
You can never go home again but you can always replay Outer Wilds *banjo intensifies*
A fortuneteller tells Trump: “You will die on the biggest and most celebrated national holiday.” Trump replies: “How do you know?”
Thanks, will look. I only use my phone. Sonnet, which I'm currently using, has started intermittently losing my place if I pause mid-episode for several days. Or if it just feels like it.
How much do we trust the police report? Was he seriously in a Bronco? Is it white? Who was actually driving his car and how drunk were they?
Can't believe OJ just got downgraded to the second-most interesting Ford Bronco incident after 30 years
time travel to 2005 and tell yourself that in 20 years, the president is Donald Trump, he's threatening to invade Chicago, no one is 100% sure if he's actually even still alive, and the Governor of Illinois is on the internet asking if we're in a Weekend at Bernies situation.
why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"
This mouse running around the floor of Logan Terminal C Arrivals way out at the end of the building is thoroughly entertaining me.
Are you a magical being that represents the essence of flesh?
Vesper martini is a perfectly fine drink, but anybody who hears him order one and copies a random detail of the instructions for any other martini is not going to get anything good.
On the ground, but the plane seems a bit confused about where.
happy 12th anniversary to the greatest tweet of all time
My dyslexia really fuck this one up cuz I was like what did Diddy do to the government. That is an unfortunately close name to Sean Combs p Diddy
It's not that you "can't" say or do things, you see: it's that if you say or do them, people are likely to react differently all these years later, and that might affect how the film is received.
Okay, so I've seen this happen several times now. Person A says "hey, Covid is surging, maybe wear a mask again, okay?" They try to word it to cajole, not shame. People react poorly to being shamed.
Insult to injury: the display in the seat back advertising that I could use the free wi-fi to be entertained while it's not working.
I am trying to post this but of course it was prompted by in-flight wifi not working and not being able to listen to any of the podcasts I downloaded last week, so it also won't post for a while.
Apparently I once again need a new app that will actually download podcast episodes and keep them until I listen to them, and will consistently track whether I have listened and how far I got if I stop in the middle. Half the point is to be able to listen when I have no Internet on my phone.
I appreciate that, per the article, the discussion of whether they had to amend the plan centered on whether it's an authentic fairy tree, not on whether it's ok to dig up a fairy tree.
Love playing fun games with my health like "do I stick to the plan and wait to get the new covid vaccine in October or do I rush to get the old one now while I know I can?
Having moved around a bit I don't know many Guys in the traditional sense, but I am and have People in many places I can call in emergencies or for information. Not necessarily for myself.
Just the Governor of a state implying that the President is secretly dead. In response to said President threatening to invade a city in said state. Nothing to see here. Perfectly normal politics.
you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now
Video appeals 46-year-old conviction for killing The Radio Star, argues that The Radio Star is alive and well and living under assumed name of The Podcaster.
"Do I recognize that it’s a game my friend’s 5 year old is also playing?" Yes, and that's awesome and I hope we can bond over it.

Did you miss the part where they *don't pay enough*
Is ChatGPT very into mpreg (in addition to the mislabeling)?

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
[crossing streams] Tom Clancy's Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me
Funny to think I have tucked more often than you ever will.
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
I am Tom Clancy’s trans daughter(yes, actually) and I whole-fucking-heartedly endorse this!!
Ok I have another unserious question about the toilet tank hookup: do you divert to your cat waterer first or to your bidet first?
Not quite the same but you might look at 2007's Stonehenge anthology, if only for thoughts on process and what did/didn't work well
I'm so proud
2025 has jumped the shark.
(Their website is frustratingly lacking in pictures of the thing in use in a few different setups that I could find. I shouldn't have to work this hard to figure out how they expect me to use their product)
If you do end up with questions I'd be happy to help. I am "have replaced faucets and toilets" competent at household plumbing.
I was thinking this sounds great except we're trying to *discourage* counter jumping. Where does the undrunk water go for the toilet tank version?
I've also moved since the last time we saw each other, so even if you did you probably wouldn't.
I usually use Costco so I checked their website, same result. (They also didn't have it listed last week when I checked) I'm traveling but I plan to call them Monday if it hasn't changed by then. Hoping they just haven't updated yet.
The Toxic Avenger is clearing medical debt as marketing for the movie.
I enjoy many games with "bad" or no artwork. The best still have an intentional visual design language that frames the experience and use the limitations as part of that.
*opens up your fridge and sees you have 2% milk* hey bro you need to charge your milk
For those who want a quick recap on epidemiology: It was plumbing that ended the cholera epidemic, not drinking sewage over and over to strengthen everyone's immune system. So that's why I built this thing. It's the new hygienic infrastructure that we need to get our lives back.
Caring for someone recovering from surgery *is* a big ask, and it could easily have been more than they expected. And it's unconscionable that they didn't suck it up and grumble in private about it, especially for family. This sucks and you deserved better.
I said this in February (On Facebook but not over here apparently?)
That's fucked, I'm sorry to hear it.
This is illustrative of how machine learning (probably not generative ai here) is being used all over the place. The camera software tries to sharpen the facial features, so we get the weird cutouts.
I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"
It's not a competition (unless you're all into that you do you); if everyone came that's a good outcome.
In a world full of so much misery, you can ALWAYS rely on bollards to make things better. #WorldBollardAssociation
Despite knowing all the coping strategies, this has happened to me today (and will continue to happen)
He says "yes, it's really me" so I guess if it's not they kind of asked for the ill wishes.
What the actual fuck I am not home and too far to help directly but if you need a safe place feel free to ping I think I have options your way
Now this is passed, it's so funny to me that not a peep of it was mentioned by the fake @AltNPS account lmao. It was a nationwide day of protest at national parks (including former JA incarceration sites) and they apparently didn't know about it. If you're still following them, they're frauds btw
i have been infected by the uma musume disease, and a jousting uma tweet i saw the other day
It has been some time since 2001.
Atari 800, on which I played many games and learned to read in order to learn BASIC.
What's that blue thing? Doing there?
Flew across the country. People at the table next to me are still talking about Tom Fucking Brady.
HOOK IT TO MY HARDENED VEINS!
Good comic shared by a friend. www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/H...
I thought this was a cowardice joke but no they literally serve chicken and fries? Amazing!
Ever the master of preparedness: in Seattle for a couple of days with free daytimes. I feel I'm forgetting about some people I know who live out this way and might want to meet up for a bit.
did you hear about the funeral where they had to take the body back to the car? They ended up calling that one a rehearseal
Good morning to everyone except Jackass

The robot stood on the pier, painting a seascape. A man came up to it. "Trying to atone for your sins? The theft of art and prose your ancestors did?" "Your ancestors," the robot said. "Generative AI was a dead end. It had no part in making me." "I say it did!" So the robot threw him in the sea.
FUCK YES GIANT WOMAN WITH SWORD!!!!!
As someone who had to track realtime fire evacuation information *this year* I am hyper aware that the U.S. has no real instant communication network and when a start-up company invented one the government decided, great we’ll use that, and when Elon Musk conquered and broke it they STAYED THERE.
Politicians who don’t understand how computers work make mistakes like thinking “logging into a website” is the same as “walking through a door”. I am running for MA-06 so at least one person in Congress will have implemented an OAuth provider bethfordemocracy.com
So, the cat has made friends with a pigeon. I think perhaps they solve crimes together.
The italics!
Maybe Mark Cuban would pay you to stop yelling at him on social media? Not posting isn't easy at all but really you'd just have to block him.
I do have sympathy for "this irrationally icks me and I don't think I can get over it, can we work something out?"
Like on the one hand "you need to move your towel to this poorly installed hook near the TP" is a pretty bad demand. OTOH, having a hook for your butt towel right by the toilet could be pretty convenient and a reasonable compromise if roommate were a reasonable person?
