Cute little space! My wife and I would love to do something like that in our yard.And man, I love your art so much.
Mortgage + property tax + homeowner's insurance + extra 1/2 monthly principal is less than just rent at our old place.
I'm with you. Average home value in our neighbourhood has gone up almost 33% since we bought the house in 2020 at a solidly sub-3 rate. We get ten to twenty come-ons in the mail every month from shitty mortgage groups that say "IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT YOUR MORTGAGE!"Nah, fam. We're keeping the rate and paying this shit OFF. Then we can leverage that into shared housing.
Eh, there's nothing super rare int he collection :) If they've succumbed to bitrot then we'll just tape more songs off the radio.
My wife and I have a decent collection, because we're Old. And we don't currently have a functioning tape player so this is a keen deal for us.
You're lucky you didn't pass out and shit yerself on the way down!
It's STUPIDLY lightweight. The other really important part is the blades - two sets of counter-rotating blades with a fairly aggressive angle of incidence. Added bonus of using angular momentum to steer without a tailAs a piece of engineering, it's amazing. But, that's true for pretty much everything that gets put on Mars
OK now THAT blows my goddamned mind.
DYING of cute. Welcome to the ride, little ones. You're getting a good start.
A Roger Ramjet reference? In the WILD?Are you between 63 and 50, and grew up in Phoenix?
But did you GIVE the tummy rubs?I love orb weavers. We have jeweled orb weavers and I'm delighted any time I see them. Except when I'm hauling the yard waste bin up to the street and I grab a big handful of web. That's not as delightful.
He is absolutely the sweetest little counter-surfing porch goblin baby!Also SO SOFT. Softest cat I've ever encountered. Like a chinchilla that purrs.
Oh my goodness! Jasmne looks so much like Sam Vimes!
Nah. I get it. Anything that's not outright shitty is good. We didn't have microwaves because of superheated conditioner... It was fucking crazy at points. I did get a good tattoo, though, so there's that. Room Temp Mayo is a fucking amazing band name.
I mean, I was stupid and I got caught... Not telling the cops that crime happened is, itself, crime. It's actually the third definition of "conspiracy" in American law.
I have _DIRECT_ and _LIVED_ experience that mayo is shelf stable after opening. It starts separating if you don't shake it up but it absolutely doesn't go bad (on timescales of a month or less. Insufficient data beyond that). The acids used tend to keep bacterial growth at bay. We didn't have refrigerators. And nobody got food poisoning form our mayo. Or any commissary food.
And amusingly, mayo is something that doesn't actually need refrigerating in the near term. Trust me on this one.
I know it was, it's just a funny story. To me...
Fun story. Mayo is actually shelf-stable. When I was locked up, we could buy mayo on the commissary and we didn't have refrigeration. Kraft brand, nothing special or off brand.
#21 Ha! They served Rock Rye! One of my favourite... drinks. I'm not sure you can call it a cocktail. It's rye with rock candy sugar in it. Local distiller (Crater Lake) makes an excellent Rock n Rye. I make sure to keep a bottle in the Sin Cabinet.
I mean, that's a whole other can of worms WRT the Constitution and separation of powers. Under normal circumstances, election rules are left up to the states because Art1Sec4 gives Congress the ability to override State law on elections ONLY for US-level Reps and Senators. And, as the Constitution explicitly says that anything not permitted to the Feds is left to the States, this means all other aspects of voting are hands-off.Under a tinpot authoritarian regime? YOLO
I think Trae Crowder is the only person who records from the driver's seat that I care to listen to, ever. In general? If this is your pfp I get to block you because I'm not allowed to yeet you into the sun
That is something that's controlled very explicitly by the States. IIRC the Feds can't compel the States on voting rules (which is a double-edged sword). As a formerly incarcerated person (Federal), my home state restored my voting rights as soon as I stepped foot out of confinement and I am very thankful for that. Buuutttt the actual rights under the Constitution? The Feds restored none of them, nor will they. I _CAN_ be arrested for protected speech and I have no rights vis a vis privacy.
I knew my first marriage was on the rocks when she used Spouse Veto to prevent me from getting a minivan, removing the doors, and installing gun mounts. She just wanted to suck the joy out of everything (derogatory)
Such an absolute baby!
Honestly, ten bucks for a mechpencil is NOT bad. I have drafting pencils that clock in a LOT higher than that (I think my 0.3mm Alvin was $25) but they're also not part of the EDC. It's just my Uniball Vision clipped into a little pink notebook with a unicorn on the cover. Perfect.
Same. I have a #! in the notebook I carry with me every day, but all my other pens are those Sharpies and they're SO GOOD UNGH
I'll drink six beers in peace and six in a time of war. I'll drink six beers before I drink six beers, then I'll drink six more
THIS IS MY STYLE! IT WAS MADE FOR ME!
One of my favourite party tricks ever. MUAHAHAHAH
