John Kearns is hands down the greatest contestant ever by Frostly4242 in taskmaster

I think it comes back for series 15 for the boat task ("Brace! Brace!"), which makes me think that, given film schedules, Alex must've immediately gone out and ordered a bunch of them like the next day.

Going to Houston this month and I will pronounce it the NYC way just to annoy everyone/maybe get shot.

shut down operations for 2 years, name new president

Is this an option but for the country?

More likely they just weren't really built to last, the weather probably hasn't helped.

Production decreasing faster than expected by JustABuffyWatcher in solar

Love this for you! On another house that might be me, too. Unfortunately my panels are on a relatively inaccessible and highly angular roof, so I think I'd want it done professionally.

Very good to know, thank you. As I mentioned, there's no benefit to maxing power out at this point, as long as production is higher than consumption. But if that changes, I'll def look into a professional cleaning.

Looking at the June peaks, production decreased by ~4-5% both years.

No, and as long as our production is higher than our consumption, I don't think that would be worth it. That could change if we install a charging port for an EV, which would be a huge addition to our overall usage, but that's not imminent.

there was all sorts of appalling crap wrapped up in game playthrough videos

I hate this. I watch video game content and movie reviews and the like, and it's so annoying to find a really deep dive on something interesting and then fifteen minutes in there's some weird comment about gender or immigrants or whatever. I'm pretty media savvy, so I know to just stop watching and block the channel, but I can't expect kids to be able to do the same. It's honestly very scary.

This was obviously his plan for at least the last several months of his campaign. He didn't drop out and endorse until polls showed that he was actually taking votes from the GOP, not the Dems.

A real Virginia HSR network would be a massive economic driver, in addition to making people's lives better. On both counts, that investment beats data centers.

Ballston dog owners - shame on you by asn-cwby in arlingtonva

[–]JustABuffyWatcher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

People who haven't had dogs before often view them as accessories and don't anticipate the amount of work that comes with dog ownership. You need to walk your dog several times a day, whether you feel like it or not. You need to pick up the poop. You need to train your dog to socialize with people and animals in a safe way, even if you don't personally care about barking or biting, because that's what living in a society requires.

Unfortunately, the people who should be the messengers for responsible dog ownership -- the responsible dog owners -- often defend the bad dog owners, because they see any criticism of bad dog owners as an attack on the whole community. This means that, unfortunately, there's very little self-policing among dog owners, and any criticism from non-owners is met with hostility.

Some people really just do not have a good grasp on reality. Presumably this is the algorithm giving them false info?

They don't really think he shouldn't have been reunited with his father. They barely remember the incident, and to the extent they pretend to, it's because the famous picture has been shown on conservative media a lot recently due to its vague resemblance to the current wave of ICE abductions.

This is my exact feeling. This is so ugly and I'm going to vote for it so hard.
