"Welcome to Advanced Crackers & Barrels. I'll be your Crackermaster today. Can I get any drinks started for you while you fill out your character sheet?"
Does using a library-federated login count for anything? I've got somebody immunocompromised by chemo in my house, and their care team has pretty explicitly banned us from pulling out library books. As a result, I've mostly been using our library login to read stuff like Consumer Reports digitally.
Weird how failing to act likeable and respectable has that effect
I will never miss an opportunity to share that we discovered this interaction entirely by accident, by using grapefruit juice to try to keep study participants from knowing whether their study drink contained alcohol or not: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefr...
Shrimps is dogs?!
I will never forgive Apple for getting rid of their headphone jack and giving the wired headphones a lightning cable end. More than ever people seem to use their phones without headphones to watch videos on the subway and you cannot convince me that change isn’t partly responsible.
JC Penney? HOW DEEP DOES THIS GO?!
Pretty fricked up of you to say, tbh
Dr Bonus Ball Murray, DDS, back at it again
It took until ChatGPT 5, but they've finally proved 2>2
And honestly props to you more public folks on Draw Steel for really showcasing the work of the excellent professionals you've relied on over the development process.
Wow, it turns out I do hear the melodramatic musical stings from "The Ten Commandments" even when I'm just reading the phrase "stricken from every tablet".
I'm banking on a callback to the foreshadowed "Air" getting them back on a bus.
Never Stop Blowing Up x On A Bus = ... Never Stop Bussin'?! I am so sorry.
I've never personally had to worry about it, but what informs how this works? Is it to prevent someone from QRT-ing a post and effectively "getting the last word" because the other party can't respond, while simultaneously funneling haters into their replies?
Finally, I can pay somebody money for the privilege of sitting on plastic-coated furniture, and getting a plastic machine that connects to my body with plastic tubes to pull the plastic out of just one of the many systems of my body.

We once had countertops made with medium format (maybe 3x3"?) ceramic tile. Cute, but MISERABLE for keeping things like mixing bowls or cutting boards balanced, and the grout never seemed clean. Based on this thread though, seems like counters were a mistake, no matter the material.

Or it's a threat to secure additional bribes from the corn lobby.
Anecdotally, I saw a public transit bus exit the beltway with a full-wrap ad for Border Patrol that looked like an ad for Adult Scouts Who Like To Hike.
To shreds, we say
I went to block them, and the account was already suspended; excellent work!
Feels like I missed a post along the lines of: Bombing Iran, which I don't support, could have been avoided if protestors, who I don't support, would have gone to last weekend's militarized birthday party, which I don't support.
Miniatures of the Marshlands
Even if they DO look silly, why should that matter? They're functional vehicles for crying out loud. Most of the "silly" styling has explicit purpose for safety or efficiency. "Silliness" of a functional vehicle is only a problem for people with fragile egos.

Excited to go vote, tomorrow and later this month! Are these the official arrangements for the firehouse primary, or is there a more authoritative source? www.cd11votes.com/voters
Secretary Driscoll's statement is ambiguous enough that it's unclear whether the soldier he's mentioning is the astronaut or the moon. If the latter, I hope the Army recruiter who convinced the moon to enlist gets a medal or something.
It's ok, I tried to write "leadership" and got autocorrected to "ownership". We will march forward in typo shame together 🤝
It's ok. Get your body shaking out of the way now, before some killjoy parent from an 80s movie gets appointed to a position of ownership and outlaws it.
"Full magnet" is almost certainly a mangling of "permanent magnet"
That really Darks my Shadow and/or Blades.
The subject matter is fantastic, but if I'm being honest, I'd listen to the three of you critically discuss a diner menu and thank you for the experience when it was done.
WOW. A deckbuilding roguelike with a loop in three phases: 1. Draw to modify your deck: bumpers, targets, bonus modes etc 2. Integrate new components into your pinball table to be able to meet the new scoring minimum first this iteration 3. Actually beat the newly-modified table to draw again
"Hi, Tim Tragedy here — CEO of The Commons. You may recognize me from discussions in your high school Econ or Earth Sciences classes..."
I totally understand that "build a bespoke character" is a completely different design aim from "put players under LOTS of constraints, and see how they deal with it", but the randomization to disrupt my occasional analysis paralysis/decision fatigue is really appealing.
I admittedly haven't had the chance to play either Draw Steel or Shadowdark yet, but I find Shadowdark's approach where you roll on a leveling table to get whatever benefit the never level confers to be a neat solution.
Finally, a way to consolidate ALL of my data about EVERYTHING I do into one single high-value target. It's really going to be nice to reduce the number of data breach notifications that I get.
Yeah, let's do the numbers!
Am I crazy for reading "the dawning realization of how this looks to others" on his face in this picture?
And their big hit "The Confession That I Get"
Just finished Campaign 2 of @dungeonsanddads.bsky.social and was REALLY expecting the final "I'll be on my way" of the theme song to be sung by Beth May in her incredible self-harmonizing voice.
Also, "OUR rights" not "everyone's rights." Inalienable, provided you're not suspected of being an alien.
Nice work if you can get it.
Keep us updated on when their "caring a heck of a lot" finally gives way to "doing a heck of a lot," I guess. CPS would come take my kid away if I adopted the congressional standard for how much I claimed to care vs how much I did about it.
Kind of a more realistic Townscaper vibe. It looks great!

Even setting aside the (well-deserved!) questions about graceful degradation, the security implications here could be nightmarish. Are you selling that car? I sure hope you remember to find a way to disassociate it from your payment instrument of choice!
I was maybe 10 the first time I played the game, but I've always assumed the train is a thing that happens when a bunch of people all die at once, like when a whole city gets poisoned by a clown.
The part that gets me is the "young men" framing. What does he think that young women are doing differently? Certainly they're not getting preferential banking terms. Maybe the problem lies elsewhere, like: day trading/crypto/sportsbook app advertising is TARGETING young men specifically?

I don't know why Chesterton built this fence; I just know it has to go.

Initially read "huge appetite" and fooled myself into thinking that maybe I was starting to figure this whole thing out.
Oh, they were saying "Infrastructure WEAK"
Imagine wasting the effort of joining a community and then wanting to hear others exclusively tell you the thoughts you're already thinking. Which is to say: thanks for making me consider things I haven't yet.
I've only had my EV for two months, but my far my best road trip charging experience so far has been at a public library: they had public restrooms, a quiet place that didn't overstimulate my preschooler, and a few activities to do. There were even some options for food and drink nearby.
Thank you for finding this so I didn't have to, kind stranger.
Talk about politics until they stop toasting our institutions, toaster boy. 🙏🍞
Yeah, remind folks that the government has nothing to do with customer service experiences like "A technician will come to your home Thursday between 8 AM and 4 PM. No, we do not offer more specific appointments."
What's the Patreon tier that gets me a clip of an escalating soundscape of rodent chittering, culminating in a deadly-serious delivery of "This is the sound of Squirrels Beyond Number"? Hearing it for real may be the only thing that'll get it out of my head. @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social
That sounds right to me!
Ok, sure: By the end of MAY, someone may successfully rugpull the US Treasury
If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.
Melbourne Ska Orchestra were the ones who did that excellent cover of the theme to "Get Smart", right?
What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry? Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.
I happened to be setting up my account this afternoon and coincidentally found a post from you that was only 2-3s old, read it, and liked it pretty quickly. There's always some delays in distributed systems, though, though it sounds like this was even faster than that?
BOOOO NOOOO BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK!!! This image is fake. Let’s not let fake science accounts thrive on Bluesky!!!
