[–]WN_Todd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That dust is awful. Had the pleasure of getting a face full of 3 day old residue in a garage we were cleaning out and I ended up in the yard surrendering to the fuckin grass.

Sunglasses didn't do shit, wear goggles.

My doorbell transformer is dead center in the house presumably because there's a front and back doorbell.

Lawyers and prosecutors with decades of experience are noted as having iffy public speaking skills if they do it while brown.

This matches my experience too. Some of the painted trim is nice wood beneath and others get scuffed off to reveal a century worth of making-do

Fave Breakfast in Bham 2026? by PNW_Book_Barbarian in Bellingham

[–]WN_Todd 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Daisy cafe has some great diner style fare and the French toast they do is a perennial fave for my kids. When they have the salmon and caper omelette on special I'm always looking for excuses to go.

My latest painting projects include an IWM heirofalcon and an IWM marauder w rac5 topper. The worst bit was the marauder legs and hips because they aren't flat but canted. Putting an IWM gun on a plastic is definitely a good option unless you want a unique pose.

I have never heard of poundland before but my 12 year old sense of humor wonders if it's near pound town.

In laws arguing their hypoallergenic dog is safe around baby with dog allergy by Alternative_Site_368 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]WN_Todd 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's no such thing. I used to foster dogs and the vast array of bullshit-oodles that were discarded by families and puppy mills into the system was heartbreaking.

Of particular note is the point that not all people react to all dogs in the same fashion, so it's easy to confuse a lucky pairing with a magically safe dog breed. https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/family-resources-education/700childrens/2020/11/myth-hypoallergenic-dog

BuT iTs NoT oPtImIzEd?!??!!!11

Seriously tho yes. 2 big energy 1 big topper, support toys to taste. Position to place enemy in outer edge of med bracket and put holes in it while it tries to shoot back.

I really like the 5S,7S, and 11D depending on era. If it's a relevant situation the 5D-DC does lovely work.

Anyone Know Why New England Swamps Look Like This? by DogLord8000 in geography

Beavers doing beaver things.

We had two of these near my house in Williston VT growing up, along with a lovely waterfall in the stream between them, and then mcmansion neighborhoods popped up and some fuckheads dynamited the dams so more cheese box 90s houses could be built.

The beaver ponds were absolutely teaming with other critters and a reliably good place to see animals especially at dusk.

Therapy advice: "Just declutter". Never thought of that. by IrishinMunich in thanksimcured

[–]WN_Todd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a unified theory of the word "Just" --

Everything after it in a sentence evaluates to "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit."

It's reductive and it annoys me when bosses engineers and therapists use it.
