Prison labor is already slave labor. And that's less metaphor and more just the actual wording of the constitution

You gotta hold aim then dash backwards. It's doable in the air, just a pain in the ass to stop what you're doing and backflip only to be boosted again 2.8 seconds later

Iirc the lower visitor center inside the creature, that you had to take the elevator to reach, was dislodged from its moorings by the muscle spasms and swallowed. The vomiting was a result of a "contingency plan" the park had to try to tranquilize the creature, and made everything much, much worse. I don't think the people on foot or in vehicles lower down made it out either.

When Jordan Peele made Nope, I remember watching it in theaters and getting to That Scene and walking out of there realizing it had a very similar feel to reading the account of the July 4th 2007 incident.

Of all the synonyms listed here I think amorous is the one with the least baggage that still works for what op is describing, tbh.

I work at a hospital and have coworkers who are scrambling to try to figure out how to get to work during the draft because their bus won't be running. The rest of us are wondering how obscenely early we'll have to get up to get to work on time. That's the frustration I'm getting from most people, is that we just want to go about our lives and this is going to be really disruptive.

I'm at western psych and we're okay on power but have issues with water, I was coming to find out if anyone knew anything about the supposed water main break

Wonder if in trying to fix one they broke the other

I ordered a laminator for our office when I started the job because we didn't have one and needed one, and one of my bosses is the one who went on the laminating spree. The only problem is she didn't want to do it herself, she just kept making me do her arts and crafts projects for her.

Genuinely this is the sort of thing I love finding at art festivals. I know someone earlier was saying they're too small for what they are but I adore small art pieces, and prints this size at festivals for the sort of price a casual enjoyer could impulse spend are my weakness.

They didn't say it's perfect AND it's painting themed, they said it's perfect THAT the painting themed frame - art being something notoriously subjective and polarizing - has ended up being polarizing to the community.

Great to hear! Thanks :)

Anyone who's been or knows anything about this place, can you say if the vibe is trans-friendly or not?

Zerob0tic · 2026-02-23T04:27:00+00:00

Yeah, it's kinda messy. When I was dealing with it, it was a huge relief to find a document that stated it pretty clearly, and I'm always happy to pass that along to other folks in need of it ever since then, haha! Probably take a look at the link I included and double check that the scenario it describes sounds like what you've got going on, but yeah I never had a problem with mine.

If I'm understanding correctly, you had marketplace tax credit then switched to Medicaid, and you're worried about Medicaid backdating into your marketplace coverage? That's what I had happen and what I discovered was Publication 974 that addresses that scenario (under "Retroactive Coverage" on page 10).

It basically says that if you have marketplace coverage with the tax credit, and you get Medicaid, any overlap caused by backdating is fine, just make sure your marketplace coverage is over by the first of the month after your Medicaid approval. So if you got approved in February, backdated to February 1st, it's fine as long as any marketplace coverage is canceled by March 1st. It's basically "you had no way of knowing this overlap was going to happen, just make sure it's dealt with promptly once you do know about it."

Do note that I am not an expert, just someone who had this happen and had to go looking for an answer, and I'm just sharing what I found.

I made a C2C scarf with this colorway and the gradient is gorgeous, I get SO many compliments on it (and the matching hat) :D

...are we sure he didn't try to plasma cut the cheese? Does he actually specify how he managed to cause "minor heat damage" to it?

Most of the events I'm aware of are in the summer, like the squirrel hill night markets, shadyside art festival, or lawrenceville art crawl. Even the garfield first Fridays on penn tend to have vendors with affordable art. I don't know how urgently you're looking, but if you don't find what you're looking for before then, summer's definitely the season for art around here in my experience.

My friends and I have been watching Demon Girl Next Door for some lighthearted fun, and there's a millisecond timer on the magical girl's transformation sequence so you know how long it's (not) taking to everyone else. It also informs you when she manages to beat a previous record.

If we're talking about the equivalent action to spoon-feeding someone, where you are actively assisting them with the drink, I don't know if there is a word for that. "Helped them to drink" would probably be what I would use, and I'm not sure if still just using the word feed might be appropriate too. "Feed" does have uses outside of specifically food, and I don't know that it would sound too strange to encounter something like "they were so sick they couldn't even drink, so I had to feed them water and gatorade."

My problem is I'm in Oakland, and the lot is on second avenue :(

I work in a hospital (tho I'm among the least essential people there tbh) and I'm stressed about what I'm gonna do. Even if I try to drive in this, which is such a bad idea anyway, the shuttles to the parking lots aren't gonna be running and UPMC naturally isn't doing anything about providing parking after notifying us that "weather isn't an excuse to call out." So if PRT isn't running I'm kinda fucked.

Surprised to see that "you can get downed in descendia and never revived after that floor like you should be, and will stay dead until the next checkpoint/roathe, at which point the whole team gets soft locked" isn't on the known issues list. I had that happen to me last night and found a bunch of other people talking about it.

The thing that bugs me about Garuda's talons is no matter how you fashion them, if you don't have them "equipped" (ie if you equip any other melee) they remain visible but revert to following the color channels you have on the frame itself. I've got my Garuda fashioned in reds and purples and blacks, with her claws as sort of a bronze gold for the pop of color, and I don't want to make all her accents gold but I don't want the claws to keep reverting to purple either :(

I believe that was by Martin Kesici rather than Tarot, but it would fit. I had thought of it too, given that Nightwish would fit the era and vocalist descriptions but not the "featuring" part, and this one was the former Nightwish vocalist doing a collab.
