I think y’all are underestimating Pedro Pascal’s woman fanbase.

Yeah, the story of an attractive, emotionally sensitive guy raising a child alone in a harsh world is like marketing poison to women. /s

How does this cycle end? No idea really […]

October 24th, 1929 sound familiar?

The only thing I want is a thermometer to help me dial in the temp of my yerba mate, around 60°C.

It’s not necessary, and at work I just use my hand as the thermometer, but if I’m spending money, it’s nice to have.

This conversation is making me realize I need a stovetop solution ready when this Hamilton Beech dies again; the last one died after two years, which is a ridiculously short life span.

It is kind of amusing how, “You guys are knee jerking your reactions instead of looking at the issue carefully” gets the knee jerk upvotes here.

What does it mean? That bike is too large for either one of them.

Interesting! I’m guessing this is very culturally bound. For instance, where I live “village” life isn’t much of an option because everyone just gets in their cars immediately between destinations; relative to that, cities are more social than that.

I think the strength of cities is having a large group of people, from which you are likely to be able to find more people who share your interests. I’ve been looking for places to play an open mic that isn’t boomers playing acoustic rock, and it’s pretty tough. I found one place nearby, but it’s mostly young LGBTQ and they are as cliquey af. Any other portential place is at least a 45 minute drive.

I think one thing that is univeral is that people in higher population areas aren’t as initially friendly with everyone… maybe because it’s too easy to get scammed and theres too many dang people, so there’s not much point in chatting up someone you’ll likely never see again.

Oh my!, in the voice of George Takei, that is rather exciting… all those tick trunks sliced into nice flat tiles. I envy you.

I gave up the house for an easier-to-manage condo, and while I have a fireplace, I do not have a wood stove and don’t think it would be worth the effort to put one in and, at any rate, the condo association is bitchy about storing wood.

ER went fine. They couldn’t figure out what’s wrong, but they put through the tests of everything that would kill me right away. Ruled out: enlarged heart, pneumonia, GI tract issues, and a few other things, so I have a little bit of peace of mind. It could be an arrythmia I think, inherited from my mother. I was following my pulse this morning and pretty sure I dropped a beat or two. Next step is a stress test and I’m not looking forward to it because I hate running for any length of time.

I remember when my woodpile was contained by two 2x4s continuously tied together through the layers of logs.

It was a particularly shameful period in my life, but I was going through some hard times.

Looking good! Save the flatter pieces and shingle yourself a roof on that!

Edit: I’m in the ER waiting room and removed my glasses. re-reading your post without my over-corrected lenses, I see you likely know about the roof. I extend a most sincere apology for my presumption.

I tried changing the direction on my refrigerator door but discovered that it interfered with the washing unit jammed up next to it.

Recently, the hande on the freezer snapped, so I just took both handles off. It really is quite simple to open a refrigerator door without mechanical assistance.

Now that the handles are off, I feel like I can move the refrigerator into the ktichen a little bit, and that would mean perhaps I can complete my project of changing direction of the door.

I’ll be sure to let you know of any progress.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

My dogs likes to snatch flies out of the air. He thinks of them as sky raisins.

You ate a jalapeno sky raisin.

Oh, no, sir. That would be a crime.

I mostly use angle grinders for my sourdough. A bread can never be too hard is my personal opinion.

Ah, I am always happy to talk to a fellow angle-grinder enthusiast. I’ve had too many Dewalt bushings go bad–they’re a false economy, enshittified to make line go up.

For me, Milwaukee is that sweet spot for value and quality.

I think the crossing I’m thinking of might be at a 30 degree angle or so, so that might be the logic there. But in that case: Caution Angled Railway would be more likely to result in actual caution instead of contempt.

I do remember a sign of bike crashes someone made for a city and all the hotspots were angled railway crossings.

Yes, it’s clearly some car-brained suburban shit from people who’ve never had to ride their bike to work.

There’s a short bike/pedestrian lane built near me to raise property values near some boutique stores–anytime it intersects the car road, there’s a sign to dismount. Message: you clearly aren’t riding your bike to get anywhere.

I also see it when a path intersects a railroad.
