Peachy how critical segments of the American press seamlessly transitioned from "Republicans would never actually rule Roe v. Wade" to "Now that Roe has been overruled, we should take claims that Republicans will pivot to supporting maternal and child care at face value contrary to all evidence"

Here is how I imagine the Elrond scenario: “shit, some of these runes are unreadably damaged, what were they again?”

I once saw a Mexican restaurant in Aix-en-Provence with a mascot that’s an anthropomorphic burrito with a mustache and sombrero curb-stomping some fries

see, if *I* perform action Ignore Cat, I receive Cat Rubbing Up Against My Face, which is suboptimal because I’m allergic to cats

this one time I was visiting in-laws with 3 cats; I retreated to a bedroom to nap, and woke to find one of the cats *napping directly on my head*

Ok, so for me the problem is not the spatial stuff per se, but terrible working memory and visual aphantasia

I can navigate just fine despite the ADHD, as long as I’m actually *looking* at the map; but the moment I stop looking at the map I’m SOL

If “changing your sex” were impossible, they wouldn’t need to ban it.

Questionable Content shirt!

may I ask what brand

so I can avoid ever buying a label maker from those motherfuckers

The chaotic naming of OpenAI’s models reminds me of Juicy Couture perfume names from back in the day, which include:

“Juicy Couture”
“Couture Couture”
“Eau de Couture”
“Juicy Couture Malibu”
“I Am Juicy Couture”
“I Love Juicy Couture”
“Peace, Love and Juicy Couture”

iOS folks, in case you didn't know, Tapbots is bringing Tweetbot/Ivory to Bluesky in the form of @phoenix.tapbots.com

we are going to get our battery life back

when I was in college, some donor paid to replace the perfectly cromulent baby grand piano in one of the common areas with a shiny new attractive one that sounded like shit

so I’d fund an Endowment For A Piano For That Common Area That Doesn’t Sound Like Shit

Fire pits that make you pour isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or other liquid fuel into an open container or bowl and then ignite the pooled liquid in the same location it was poured violate the requirements in voluntary safety standard ASTM F3363-19.

foreground: bench power supply. it's unremarkable. it's a cheap looking one, the kind you find on aliexpress or ebay or whatever. background: with the blissful expression only stock photo actors are able to pull off, here's a technican-looking guy, starring off into the mid distance. he's holding a laptop, which he's not looking at. the laptop has some panels removed, exposing its ram and whatever. our guy is *holding a medical stethoscope* against the body of the laptop. thankfully he is wearing safety glasses

dear lady who's holding a soldering iron by the tip, and soldering a motherboard with no solder. i have guy for you

A lot of 12 year olds are going to learn the phrase "op sec" in the next few years.

"Are those burner shoes?"
"I didn't think --"
"You're not SUPPOSED to fucking THINK, Skylar, you're supposed to follow FUCKING PROTOCOL."

Oh I just remembered a ridiculous bureaucracy quest of my own

to fix my car loan, which was somehow both paid off and sent to collections *simultaneously*, I had to dig up an e-mail the lender had sent me and fax it back to them. FAX.

Years ago, a friend of mine was buying a house with an FHA loan

the home inspection revealed a potential plumbing problem, and fixing it before close of escrow was simultaneously (a) absolutely required and (b) absolutely forbidden

(She eventually found a way around the impasse, somehow???)

you can buy a bamboo steamer for like $10 and a bunch of bags of frozen dumplings and eat like a king, i'm just saying

Huh! I haven’t—I will look into that, thanks!

(Strattera made me overheat more easily, and summers here are regularly over 100°F. If we move somewhere cooler, I’ll seriously consider switching back to Strattera just to avoid dealing with the stimulant controlled substance bullshit)

🤔 I’ve never taken them *together*

I was initially on an SNRI (Strattera) and needed the highest dose plus some more in the afternoon—I presumably metabolize that shit fast?

I eventually had bad side effects on Strattera, and ended up on the highest dose of Vyvanse instead

May I ask which brand/whether you like it? I’ve been considering getting one

Oh wait! The elegant solution is to invent hot dogs upon your arrival

(The effects on the timeline, avoiding the grandfather paradox, &c are left as an exercise to the reader)

Problem: the modern hot dog was invented in the 1800s. To make it back further, you need to either

(a) haul millions of hot dogs with you (clearly impractical), or

(b) construct a timeline of equivalent time-traveling foods you can get in different eras to cover that 1000-year range

A class on Ancient Greece and Rome with a professor who was almost too good at lecturing (it was too engrossing and I’d forget to take any notes 😅)

A couple decades later and I still remember some of the wild shit Alcibiades got up to

I was intrigued by that one, but we got a regular one. We specifically wanted shelves rather than drawers for certain things

For instance: we freeze balls of chocolate chip cookie dough on baking sheets and then decant them into freezer bags, so we can easily bake a few cookies whenever
