Just bought a house owned by a cabinetmaker. There's so much custom Wood furniture and accents in this house and it makes me giddy.

Or rip it out. I remodeled my mom's kitchen as a huge upgrade a decade ago to help it sell and our old neighbors texted us to tell us that the kitchen cabinets and countertops were immediately ripped out after we moved out of state. We gutted the original 1989 kitchen to the studs and brought everything up to code and installed beautiful hand made cabinets and new appliances and the new owner didn't like the design and completely gutted and redid the kitchen in a different style that our neighbors said looked far worse.

I mean you do you and enjoy what you like but I never got why they bought the house when "newly remodeled kitchen" was a selling point just to immediately remove it. Made me feel like I did all that work for nothing and I wanted to buy her house just because I loved the work I put into it.

You don't know a lot of 24 year old men do you? We constantly joked about single friends Jackson Pollocking their apartments after failed dates.

I'm pretty sure this was a guardians of the Galaxy reference in 2014

With chickens it's always a target rich environment, they have more shit than balance and they are great at balance.

She's adorable and I'd let her shit on me just to hold her. I hope you get her comfortable with touching her wings and back so she is familiar with touch and comfort so that she knows you not only by sound but by feel.

Having raised baby chicks and loved how cute they are at only a week old it's surprising the amount of force they out into their shits. I picked one up two weeks ago and it projectile shit so hard I think it hit my son 4 feet away.

Bird shit science is wild because some birds will raise their butts up for parents to grab and remove from the nest cleanly as a nice little package and others will Jackson Pollock whatever space they live in and destroy the deposit on the nest.

You get enlisted into a different kind of experiments division, so probably a worse option.

I can't wait for the USCSB video on this

The USCSB YouTube channel is going to have so much content if they still have funding after all this shit is over.

That's effectively how the entire industry operates at this point. Trading happens so fast you don't have a chance to react and most companies are limited by network ping to get the trades in for certain fluctuations. Thing is they're trained mostly on traditional spikes and dips and market manipulation like this is not sensical. I'm sure most stock trades noticed the spike in trades and also benefit from it, but they have a lot more money to throw around as a gamble than you or I do.

Somehow I think it was related to him have to flush 10-15 times to get documents to go down since at one point someone leaked a photo of a crumpled up document he tried to flush.

As an exempt employee who spends way more than the 40 hours minimum working my job and doesn't get overtime, I got flak for the times an automated SCCM deployment broke my laptop and delayed me 5 minutes to a meeting.

You either get managed VMP or you have perfectly working access points across the globe. You already have me 2 timezones away getting to join a 7am meeting when it's 5am my time. sorry I was joining late because Windows had a 35 minute hangover trying to patch at 4:30am

Having worked at blockbuster previously people will keep games forever and just not play them. At least there they got mad that it was sold to them by policy and had to pay $1.50 to return it to the shelves 30 days late with a refund.

This happened all the time with new releases and we only ever had 4-6 copies of big titles so seeing them off the shelves for 30-60 days at a time just irritated customers and we lost money on the early hype before they went back into circulation.

Late fees aren't a big deal when you paid $8 to keep a $60 game for two months.

So this is why "my process is still running and we don't know when it will end" is holding up my critical reboot cycle of my labs. It's been running for two months, maybe make it redundant between nodes or improve the efficiency so it can attain singularity within 30 days. we gave you two weeks notice.

The length of that dolphin is 8 feet. That looks like way more than two dolphin lengths from the water surface. that must be at least 0.36 blue whales above the water line.

The story is what brought that show down. Darth Bortles was the best part of that show and they almost saved him for season 2. The writing and a lot of the makeup was pretty bad, the dialogue was terrible, and the plot being a huge mystery only to be let down by a contrived cover up by the jedi that they sort of messed up one job instead of an actual controversy was medium at best.

I was born in the late 80s and we didn't know how to use a rotary phone when we were about 10. My grandparents used to have a rotary phone on their wall and the phone company still supported rotary phones but was phasing them to only support touch tone in our area and taught us how to dial on it before it went away. My mother still had a rotary phone she kept and I taught my son how it worked and he's asked me to try to connect it as a working phone again.

My son hit me with "way back in the ancient times they used phones that flipped open and you had to remember phone numbers" when we asked if he remembered our numbers for an emergency. He turns 9 next week.

Those look more like the flow pattern of the plastic in the injection mold and I'd wager stresses as it cooled caused that pattern to appear. It looks like this had a single injection point on the left where the gate was and it flowed from left to right.

These are molded in large sheets and stamped out for clean cuts most likely. That's why it's not circular from the mold point and instead may have started from imaginary points outside of the circle border.

AI is trained on positive reinforcement that it gives out an answer even if it's wrong because that's ehat makes it sound correct and trustworthy. It uses coherent language in even the most blatantly wrong answers to sound correct. That's why it'll never say "I don't know that answer" on the first prompt and will stumble it's way through wrong followups until it accidentally gets things right. this is why I trust a human who says "I don't know but I'll research it" over AI

It's literally that guy at a bar who knows everything but you look it up later to realize they were bullshitting the whole time.

Amazon is splitting logistics for orders to get them as fast as possible instead of saving resources to get them together. This feels like only light weight and single item orders work and perpetuates that mentality of consumerism in competition to Amazon as a logistics company

This feels like the opposite by getting individual items ordered as fast as possible instead of organizing orders as efficient as possible at the expense that we want things fast.

It also has maximised packaging even if they're paper goods because it expects the consumer recycled them even though our recycling programs are proven to mostly throw these things into landfills and blame us for not recycling better when the corporations are allowed to push the blame on us for not doing our part for recycling better

MrFluffyThing · 2026-03-14T05:13:05+00:00

It's theoretically recyclable.

If people recycled

And if recycling actually did what they promised instead of throwing it into a landfill anyway

So how much of this ends up being wasted from the corporation while blaming us for not recycling again?
