🌌 we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars
No more climate change if no more climate!
I can make two sounds that I haven’t been able to locate in the IPA chart. They’re a voiced and voiceless pair. I can only describe then as the sounds of a goose or duck.
How big is this thing? Without a sense of scale in the picture I thought it was about 2 ft / 60 cm long.
You better not cut any corners!
Sleep, exercise, catch up on chores (cleaning, organizing). I’m tired of being tired, achy, and messy.
Jesus fuck, Wall-E was supposed to be a dystopia, not an inspiration.
Yeah, Wikimedia is disappointing… The CEO makes over $500k and there are half a dozen other people who each make over $300k. I am seriously reconsidering my monthly donation to them. I love Wikipedia with all my heart, but it looks like my money would go further if I donated to the Internet Archive instead.
That would be an added benefit, yes! I live in a rural area with no sidewalks and no street lights. Whenever I walk my dog at night, both of us are lit up and reflective, just in case. I used to be the only one that went to such extremes but now I see a couple other people following suit. Yay for safety!
To mitigate the creep factor you could try snap-on hi-viz strips on your clothing, and maybe an LED collar on kitty! At least no one could accuse you of hiding in the dark.
I took the dog out for a walk yesterday morning, and she’s still resting from it. To be fair, it was -10C without the wind chill, we were out for 1.5 hours, and she’s at least 10 years old. She also sniffed dozens of animal tracks and barked at a snowmobile. A very satisfying walk indeed.
Canada has something similar! Look up “unclaimed funds” or “biens non réclamés” and your province/territory!
I’ve known about this for a few years, and periodically check for myself and family. So far zilch… but I keep hoping!
Say “new and novel” one more time Ragnar Purje
Compare with this real concrete slide from Romania, built in 1964
My 3-year old son has clogged our super-flush toilet on several occasions, without involving any TP at all. So add toddler shit to the list too.
Excellent at working under pressure
The colors are delightfully retro. Especially the yellow and red, very Kodak.
That sounds amazing! What a great invention, and what a thoughtful wife. Congrats :)
Although I prefer thrifting my office work clothes, I no longer have my own vehicle and the small town I live in has abysmal public transit. So I ordered myself the following items from Giant Tiger:
A boxy, off-white, short-sleeve, viscose button-up shirt. Probably my favorite item from this order. It’s very comfortable and it flirts with the trendy crop-top style while still being entirely appropriate for the office.
A long, dark green, lightweight open blazer. This was the most disappointing item. Anything “long” looks frumpy on my stocky build, but I hoped this would be different because of the light fabric… Nope. To make things worse, the fabric is incredibly prone to wrinkling. I basically have to launder this after each wear, boo (normally I try to wash less often to decrease the wear on the fabric).
Two printed, polyester V-neck blouses, one off-white and one taupe, with buttons and chest pocket details. These are ok. The fabric is softer than I expected, and drapes beautifully, but the cut is a tad too long and loose on me. So I need to either tuck them into my regular office pants, or wear them loose over tight pants (which apparently is a very outdated millenial look).
Another printed polyester blouse, this one with dolman sleeves, with a brown and white floral pattern. I love it because dolman tops look fabulous on me and the colors suit me perfectly. I don’t care much for the fake button details on the waist though, and I will probably take them out before I wear it again (hopefully not damaging the fabric in the process!)
Helicobacter, like Helicobacter pylori which causes ulcers.
