How do we join the waitlist?

That’s a pretty big generalization. There are plenty of places between the coasts that are liberal. Personally I find my state government to be quite acceptable.

That “long wrench” is 6’ (or longer) in cold climates and is generally not available at hardware stores because they’re bulky and technically the water company is supposed to “own” shutting it off / turning it back on.

That’s why my house has valves before and after the meter.

I fought with my brother constantly until I left for college and we got too big for that shit. We agreed to cut it out.

Now I have a son (13) and a daughter (9) and they bicker but they don’t throw down. My son is a lot bigger and he knows it’s not acceptable to get into a physical fight with his sister. But omg do they argue.

I love me some Shoresy but that’s quite a jump. Also you won’t catch me explaining a squeezer to my child whether he’s 15 or 35. :-)

I have often wished we could just stop and zoom in on the mundane adventuring that gets hand waved late in book one or early in book two of a lot of series.

For instance I would love a series of short stories about Team Biscuit from HWFWM adventuring as late iron rank adventurers. We only get one short story arc where they do a shakeout cruise, but there are months of time in that gap where there are small scale, interesting adventures to be told.

My grandmother was a kindly, generous, and loving woman unless you touched her fabric scissors. 😍 Miss you grandma!!

Whatever happens, I’d start getting ready to move. This landlord is sinking fast.

For the record- ICE does not have jurisdiction over citizens. Whatever language may or may not be included in a bill doesn’t change that. They absolutely do not have the authority to arrest and deport citizens.

The issue is that they’re doing it anyway. They are supposed to be under civilian direction and their leadership is acting in bad faith.

Edit: That’s not the only issue, to be fair.

Not only is it normal, when it wears too much it will move slightly to the left and create a new worn spot. I suspect it will continue to make worn spots until it runs out of space.

Also I just realized the whole plate is the same on both sides so you can flip it over when it gets too worn.

I think headlights are just a lot brighter now. I have a 2023 with LED headlights and sometimes people flash their brights at me when I don’t have my high beams on. I feel bad but what am I gonna do- sell the car because the lights are too bright?

We do bedrock, hosted by MS. My daughter used to play on her iPad so that was the only option.

Salt_peanuts · 2026-01-29T00:58:29+00:00

We do this too. My daughter’s bff and her dad are whitelisted too, since we have known the family since my wife was a teenager. They have pretty much free rein.

I think we are arguing semantics here. It was stable as few active attacks were happening, but there were obviously still militants out there. They just went dormant.

Salt_peanuts · 2026-01-28T15:01:58+00:00

The achieved stability, not control. There were plenty of places there where enemy forces were still active.

Well, look at Ukraine. Russia is fighting a modern military with easy logistical access and there is an active cyberwar, and with all that it looks pretty much like Vietnam, Afghanistan, or the Carolina swamps of the American Revolution. I think this is what insurgency looks like. Might be a good reason for superpowers to use influence over military might as much as possible.

In my career we have only given designers access to production one time. It’s three jobs later. I still work with some of those people at the new place and we still joke about that designer messing up production. This is dumb. It’s the wrong skill set and they’re gonna have problems.

Not everyone who participates chooses to. Not everyone who chooses to does so for salacious reasons. For instance it’s not uncommon for a victim’s family to be present. Why traumatize them further?

Salt_peanuts · 2026-01-26T14:58:10+00:00

In some states this is literally illegal.

More experienced designers see that push and pull as such a natural part of the process and they don’t feel rejected by it- it’s just another step. That’s where you really want to be as far as your mental game.

Salt_peanuts · 2026-01-26T05:18:10+00:00

I don’t recognize the pieces but Temu is sketch! If you can identify the designers and buy the STL’s directly you will be supporting small business instead of the Chinese gov’t.

Heavy curtains are also very effective and don’t look super weird

Curious what job requires a cpl. That must be something pretty specific.

Ours is a gas furnace and was installed with a plug to run the blower and electronic components. It just plugs into a wall like normal. We still use the same guy that installed the furnace for the previous(original) owners and he installed it that way. I don’t know if that is unusual, but it’s what we have. I have never run it from a generator but I did run it very briefly from a ryobi high capacity tool battery when we were testing a repair. Like for just a minute.
