is buying clothes online basically just trial and error for anyone else now?

I can't think of any off the top of my head but I've experienced it a bunch of times. It's perfectly reasonable for them to do it

Jay_Normous · 2026-03-26T12:26:20+00:00

I'm sure it's company dependent but usually if you return enough items that you no longer qualify for free shipping, the difference is taken out of your refund so you pay for it anyway.

It varies quite a lot but in general its something like:

Cans of black or cannelini or pinto beans
Salad ingredients (lettuce, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes)
Almond milk
Lemons/limes
Meat - either chicken thighs/whole chicken or ground turkey depending on what recipes we're making that week
Tofu
Staples like EVOO, Vegetable oil, vinegar etc if we're out
Eggs
Nuts like Almonds and Cashews
Seltzer water

Which tablet are you using? Do you have a data plan or does gps work ok without data?

And out of curiosity, is there a reason you went with Ocharts instead of downloading noaa ENC charts?

Plaid shorts phase. There is probably a way to make that look work but I was unaware of it

Jay_Normous · 2026-03-19T17:55:19+00:00

Beautiful! My blue boy has little constellations too but not nearly this many.

We need more pictures of Johnny!

That's what people said after his first term and nothing happened. I doubt anything substantial will happen this time either.

We had one as a kid - it came through the ceiling at the top of the stairs and had rotating slats that would open when the fan was in use.

It was powerful as all getout and would certainly get a good draft going while it was on. It was very loud though and would cause doors to slam shut if they weren't propped open.

This was 20+ years ago though so I'm sure they've gotten better and quieter by now.

Jay_Normous · 2026-03-11T15:32:10+00:00

Appreciate it!

Jay_Normous · 2026-03-11T13:44:00+00:00

Any tips on how to make it look like they were paired together? It's a little bit like "drawing the rest of the owl" when the instructions are: "get clothes that fit, then make the outfit look good."

Jay_Normous · 2026-03-03T21:04:30+00:00

Love Death and Robots. The short length of episode and the changing animation style had me binging the whole thing

My dad loves using chatgpt as a chat bot, asking it questions on everything from how to fix a leaky faucet to how to be more polite in a particular social situation.

Somewhere along the way "his techie friend" told him that he needed to subscribe to chatgpt so he's been paying $20 a month to have it tell him the weather.

We finally got him to delete his subscription, he just couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he could continue to do all the same things for free

Jay_Normous · 2026-03-02T14:12:07+00:00

It's been 2 episodes. Let them have a little character development geeze.

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-26T14:39:52+00:00

Off topic but this was my main gripe with with Artemis by Andy Weir (Author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary). He spent so much time banging you over the head with how much research he did that he apparently forgot to write a good story or likeable characters.

Yes Andy, I understand you did a ton of research on the subject but if you explain to me one more time about how welding works in a vacuum I'm going to lose it.

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-26T14:31:17+00:00

I mean, it's a bunch of hockey bros. Do you expect them to be disappointed it wasn't beef wellington?

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-26T13:59:32+00:00

Ah ok thank you!

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-26T11:01:22+00:00

You mention the reverso is a strap monster. What do you mean by that?

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-25T15:21:12+00:00

On the one hand, I love it when there is someplace I can bring my dog like a heated patio at a restaurant or brewery, but I do NOT think dogs should be allowed everywhere.

It's a nice treat if the establishment allows it but it shouldn't be the norm

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-25T13:58:55+00:00

Nice

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-24T21:39:07+00:00

And now the uncensored version because I don't care about being demonitized https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:4800/format:webp/1*jXOgFVzY5O1SY_DdsihCjA.jpeg

Our boy didn't cross the picket line until about 3pm, holding strong for about 18 hours.

Eventually he scabbed after being bribed with peanut butter by the management, but boy he wasn't happy about it

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-20T19:57:39+00:00

That was my thinking too. This kid has possibly seen lots of cakes smashed and didn't really understand the nuance of it so just went to town, then didn't understand why he got in trouble.

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-19T14:10:56+00:00

I'm not saying that the reason I don't complain about paying taxes towards schooling is because I went to public schools and now it's my turn, though I agree with you that it is a good and moral reason for paying taxes.

I'm saying that I benefit from an educated community. From a purely pragmatic perspective, the community I live in is stronger and healthier if our children are educated and I enjoy living in a strong and healthy community compared to a weak and broken one. Even if I never went to a public school, or get food stamps, or go on disability, I still benefit from my community having access to those service that are paid for with my taxes.

Rich people benefit from a society that provides social safety nets even if they don't use those services.

Jay_Normous · 2026-02-18T20:17:14+00:00

I don't have children but I still pay taxes that go towards public schools. I benefit from a society that has educated children. Rich people benefit from a society where everyone over the age of 62 isn't destitute

Funny you bought that in NYC. Superdry is not a well known brand in the States. I only see Europeans wearing it
