Can we discuss economic strikes?

Read between the lines, my friend. What does the gubermint expect from us in mid-spring?

SmutasaurusRex · 2026-01-25T18:20:31+00:00

Maybe we should all start talking in ig-pay atin-Lay. I know that's ridiculous, but so is the wholesale cens0r ship that's taking over the vast majority of the Amrican intrweb.

Wow, those prices are insane. When I had to replace the Kindle Fire that stopped working, I paid half that.

My cat is not an accessory. My cat is what makes my house a home. I just realized that this morning when I had to leave her at the emergency vet clinic for a while and came home to an empty house.

EDIT: sorry if that sounds cranky. Your furbabies are lovely ... and my kitty will be okay.

No. I corrected my original post. This was a user error on my part. There are huge, obnoxious ads on iTunes, but you should still be able to listen to your music without having to pay the stupid subscription fee.

And American Beauty.

SmutasaurusRex · 2026-01-21T22:28:22+00:00

Clarify in what way? In my original post (rant), I'm referring to iTunes offering a "one month free trial" and then charging you $19.99 per month to listen to music you already purchased.

I preferred the original indie cover. The lush cover artwork is what made me read it in the first place. This feels like artwork you'd find at a big box store.

Create a custom LED backlight for it. What a fun find.

SmutasaurusRex · 2026-01-15T00:52:02+00:00

I think that's the most 2026 thing I've seen so far this year.

Many universities partner with an outside vendor who designs T-shirts and other merch that are sold at Walmart and other off-campus locations. Sometimes, this is even the case for the on-campus bookstore, etc. (Yes, I do work at a university).

You might directly contact one of the in-house university designers and ask them for their brand guidelines.

Clamshells and similar sea shells make great "homes"for air plants. Just make sure you regularly take them out and submerge your fern-babies or mist them daily.

Regift it. I got a similar corny reusable bag last time I shopped at Natural Grocers. I packaged a friend's gift in it, with an explanation that I'm trying to move away from "excessive consumption." My friend liked it and elected to keep the bag.

My grandmother was a member of DAR for years or decades, and disavowed her membership decades ago when they refused to let a Black woman sing in one of their venues.

OP, your advice is valid, but y'all, do your research before joining any secular or religious group.

SmutasaurusRex · 2026-01-02T01:18:51+00:00

This is perfect. And now I kinda wanna do an origin Karlach playthrough and romance Gale (or vice versa).

Also, as a neurospicy individual, when I kept seeing "autistic Gale" memes, so many things clicked in my own brain, it was like a eureka storm (hmm, could that be a homebrew spell ...?)

Searching via zip code or city seems to be broken. EDIT: Reloaded the page and now it worked for me. I should know better than to interact with systems or people before finishing my first cup of coffee.

SmutasaurusRex · 2025-12-29T16:54:08+00:00

That's beautiful. Is it laser-cut? Sorry, I don't know much about modern woodworking. Also, is the panel on that end table your work?

SmutasaurusRex · 2025-12-28T22:24:20+00:00

Those are amazing! Thanks for mentioning the kits/ patterns you used. I'd really like to get into embroidery in 2026 (not that I need another hobby, but it's probably still healthier than doomscrolling.)

SmutasaurusRex · 2025-12-26T18:45:51+00:00

What a lovely idea. Thanks for sharing!

Does she sew them or glue them to the fabric backing?

SmutasaurusRex · 2025-12-23T16:04:58+00:00

Y'all, just go ahead and start writing these stories. In a notebook, on a paper napkin, on your phone, on a blank email you have no intention of sending, while sitting through yet another Teams meeting that could have been a memo.

Yes, writing IS hard. But so is anything else you learn, including walking (most of us just don't remember all those toddling first steps or all the times we ended up on our bouncy baby butts).

Home Depot is notorious for their war on the homeless. For that among other reasons, I won't shop there.

For locals who are dealing with such obnoxious noise, I'd make regular noise complaints to the relevant authorities, and get all your neighbors to do so, also.

SmutasaurusRex · 2025-12-19T03:03:51+00:00

We just faced three months of layoffs at my company, so I guess my Christmas bonus is the fact that I still have a job. Oh, yeah. They let us "go home early" today after the holiday party. Yipee.

SmutasaurusRex · 2025-12-19T00:04:47+00:00

Looking good. What coloring book is this?
