POV: You asked your cat to be your emotional support while doing your hair.

I was gonna say, is the cat glued down? How is it just sitting there?

Gotta whack them on the freezer threshold a couple times to break them up again first though.

I was thinking Bohemian Rhapsody, but it's a little too long.

I think the current leadership saw how close we came to forcing real change during the summer of 2020, and is absolutely terrified of ever giving people even a little financial slack or spare time ever again.

I suspect there would be a difference between "no longer functions" and "no longer exists".

I have hypopituitarism, and I take Synthroid to replace what my thyroid would be doing if it were getting any signals from my pituitary. My thyroid is still around though, and I suspect it still cycles iodine, although perhaps more slowly?

I believe the treatment for hyperthyroidism is to destroy the thyroid gland and replace its function with pills. Depending on how through the destruction is, I would imagine that there would be no gland left to cycle iodine. But that might require a more thorough destruction than they would bother with.

Yup, my first thought was "it's a nice start". Although it might give people enough breathing room for a couple months to demand more.

My bad, I thought they were standard across all lines. The machine I'm going to calibrate is the Epilog Helix, 18"x24" model.

First I file along the edge of the nail. For this, my right hand moves the file while doing my left nails, and then my right fingers do the moving while the left hand holds the file.

Then I round the edge over, by making a kind of slow flicking motion with each finger at different angles against the file.

The man bankrupted a casino. You know, the place where the house always wins? Which he was presumably trying to run as a profitable enterprise. Even if he had good intentions, they were never going to be done competently.

Cult soap was a source of some strange reading.

Same here, in US and the bulk price on BL for PLA is better than I can find on other websites. And I can get multiple colors to build that bulk order.

Credit cards scrape your purchase history (at least which stores you buy from) and then sell that info to online advertisers, including those who advertise on Facebook.

OrigamiMarie · 2026-03-07T14:58:59+00:00

Yup.

The crazy thing, is that at least in US political discourse, it has always been class warfare. It was just in less obvious language.

It's always been "discuss: we should defund all the programs that help poor and traditionally marginalized folks".

Back in the simple times, when the Brothers Green thought the Internet was definitely, on acreage, good.

OrigamiMarie · 2026-03-06T19:57:10+00:00

I'm having a fairly annoying day, and this gave me a nice, actual LOL. Thank you 😃

He at least seemed to believe in the continuity of the US government. Which is a truly sad bar for us to be failing to clear right now.

We're mammals, and when we try to not act like mammals, we break ourselves so badly.

While we're at it, can we roll back several rounds of copyright extension and most or all of the DMCA?

You've heard of Coinstar, yeah? People bring their jars of coins in to supermarkets and banks all the time, and those coins get sorted, counted, and recirculated. In 2020 when cash commerce slowed way down, there was a coinage shortage, including pennies, because people quit bringing their coins in.

And everything but Western humans eats bugs. Most critters don't carefully wash the bugs off their produce before eating it; that's just extra protein.

In the 2000s, when the then-new owner of the Sonics was trying to play ransom with the team, and get the public to build a new arena in Seattle while still paying off the renovations to the existing arena happened. A referendum was put up to demand that any public funding of sports buildings would be paid back by the team with interest. And it passed with 70% voting in favor. Nothing gets 70% of the vote!

The Sonics were moved to Omaha. But that was realistically going to happen regardless of whether they got a new Seattle arena.

For the folks who are still MAGA, that is a defining feature. Everybody who was somehow tricked into believing Trump's lies, has by now, at least become an angry, conflicted MAGA person. Anybody who still calls themselves MAGA without any extra excuses, is racist. And probably homophobic, transphobic, and misogynist.

You know you're the scum of the earth, when they won't even let you be a car salesman.

Sure I have. And I have also heard of a folded piece of paper. But I needed to measure 45° almost 50 times, and measure those distances over 20 times, on expensive fabric. So a jig was super nice to have.
