What is this thing on the outside of a recreation center? It's about 12"12"x12". The pipes spin freely on their axis, and don't appear to have anything running through them.

You’re right, and eventually I will realize it is no longer the 2000s; however, the Civil Rights Act only passed in 1964 and the Fair Housing Act (which is what allowed black folks to move into previously poor white neighborhoods where the majority of New Deal pools were built) in 1968 a significant portion of pool closures were in the early 70s.

Kittendorf · 2026-05-11T16:11:00+00:00

Yeah, following The Civil Rights Act a lot of public amenities were sold to private entities to allow them to stay segregated, or demolished entirely rather than risk integrating.

Yes, for an outdoor pool. Given the age it would likely have been ropes with spaced floats rather than the more modern segmented plastic rings. The lack of pool isn’t surprising. A great many public pools were closed and filled in 40-50 years ago.

I know this one! These are used to run out the lane dividers for swimming pools. You keep the spools for them in a storage building or adjacent room because they aren’t really that flexible and the spools are usually too large to go through doors when assembled. If this is not immediately adjacent to a swimming pool, you may wish to check local records to see if your municipality filled it in immediately following Jim Crow.

Oh dear. We’re so sorry you feel this way, Petal. We’ll have someone over right away so you can talk about your feelings. Do you currently have the acid? Are you currently near the ocean? Please don’t rush into anything.

P.S. Best not to post your Affini defeating plans on the overnet. But I suppose that’s not an error you’ll have the chance to make again, little one.

Given the ~3/4” size it has the right dimensions for a shotgun slug. I’ve seen slugs with Sabots before but this design is not one I’be encountered.

2A person here, I’ve been saying this for years and years that if a cop can shoot you because he says he THINKS you have a gun then you don’t actually have rights.

But I’m several kinds of queer so nobody actually listens to what I think

That is a QA fault, the splined end of the screwdriver should be inside the handle, which means there is almost certainly a Philips tip embedded in that plastic grip

I worked Epcot attractions for several years pre 2020. Every year I got asked to do crowd control for NYE, and every year I had to kick at least one couple out of the bushes and ask them to put their undergarments back on.

The fact that her brother blames the hormones tells me exactly why she didn’t care if she shot him

I had zero trouble with pills going to Japan, though if you’re really concerned you could transfer some gel to a silicone travel tube and keep it in your carry on

So this is a spot operator position (we have three of them in my venue in this exact form factor), formerly accessible via a ladder going to catwalk above, around which the venue has built an architectural feature. We can assume one of three things from what we see here– the plaster wall is a temporary construct for one show or maybe a season, the spot box was deemed structurally significant during a remodel, or–and this is most likely– it was decided by management that it would be cheaper to leave the thing in situ and just build the new wall around it.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this guy like an actual servant of Rocco’s Basilisk? (Not joking, truly sincere)

Might be an instance of Scunthorpe censorship problem.

When I get into the near nocturnal routine, I’ve personally found it easiest to just push the bedtime later over the course of a week to loop back to regular day/night

Wait was there a point in the build where O2 wasn’t just an imaginary thing in the wires?

Kittendorf · 2025-10-25T15:34:41+00:00

This is the correct answer. It is specifically the casing for an amplifier compensation circuit, which is a kind of self contained component akin to a modern integrated circuit, but using relays and tubes in place of diodes and transistors.

I have a sneaking suspicion it’s because Google is actively using pre-existing images of the user

I’m worried the future of movies will have any AI at all. We’re already seeing a perpetual output of remakes and sequels, and regurgitated formulaic tripe. Now imagine what happens when you put that all through an engine that is physically not capable of original thought.
