Our fiber internet line was cut once because they can't mark for fiber with metal detectors, so the 811 people didn't find it. I had to video chat with the cable company so that they could see the physical cut in the line in our yard and prove to them to send someone to fix it

Last year she did a 5th element program

She’s one of my favorites. She’s a lefty skater too

YouTube video by Lizzy & the Triggermen When that Man is Dead and Gone (1941) - Protest song against Hitler (Live Take)

Amazing cover of this piece of musical history about Hitler. I’m very impressed that this band decided to cover this song for now other reason than to make sure we can all appreciate Irving Berlin’s lyrical talent.

I feel seen

omg. This looks amazing

Tangential, but no one under 40 will ever understand what a big deal long distance phone calls used to be. Expensive in the US and a genuine ordeal for overseas. As late as 1986, ATT could only handle 25 US-UK phone calls simultaneously. 25!

I wasn't sure what you were talking about. Then I checked my software version and realized why. I'm happily living in the past with version 18

Fitzwilly and Deskset are two of the weird ones I consider Christmas movies and watch every year

Black Friday: A cursed day where every business I have ever bought anything from in the last decades sends me an email.

Oh, I'll have to look that up. I loved all of her reenactment television series

The flock is assembled

(squinting at timeline) Gonzo and Rizzo had a falling out?

I think being excited by that smell is hardwired into their brains, I’d expect that once that dog is spayed and has a normal spayed dog smell your dog wouldn’t be overly excited anymore—or at least anymore excited than he is by meeting a new dog

That should read: smelling our spayed female dog

On the not spayed option I’ll share this: our male dog was obsessive about smelling or spayed female until he was neutered, and within a week of getting neutered he no longer cared and only politely sniffs her now (2 months later). They really do live in the moment with regard to those smells.

Singing in the rain?

Coming up with an idea is the hardest part!

I guess I’m making birds again for the ornament swap. Tweaking my prototype, I added an extra tail feather to balance the weight so that it will hang straight. Bird bodies are laser cut wood that I designed the shape of, painted with acrylic, and have felt wings and tail feathers that are sewn on.

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

Thirding that it’s really good

BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Transportation announces it will reduce scheduled airspace capacity by 10% starting Friday morning if the government shutdown has not ended, citing "growing pressure" in the NAS as controllers and other personnel continue to go unpaid. Developing story.

Air traffic over the contiguous United States on Friday, 31 October.

As the FAA deals with a long list of staffing triggers at facilities across the country tonight, the agency shares that half of the “Core 30 facilities are experiencing staffing shortages, and nearly 80 percent of air traffic controllers are absent at New York–area facilities.”

Yes! And, bonus, kids don't think they are bad at math because the one taught method didn't work for their particular brains!
