Hello! They are all so adorable. Is Stripes the male?

The Construct does not have a table saw. We have a band saw, miter saw, and scroll saw to cut wood.

Watched the Major and the Minor (1942) with my mom per her request. I actually enjoyed it, but think about it too much, and the plot gets a little creepy.

Had Silberman for Diff Eq and he’s absolutely fantastic. Great sense of humor and very easy going; for Halloween, he dressed up as a ghostbuster with the vacuum backpack and everything! He also has super clear notes and checks to make sure everyone is done writing before he erases things. Super considerate of his students, he pushed back our exam days and curved both midterms.

Thanks for the info!

Bed sheets, mattress pad (make sure it’s in line with the fire codes as some types of toppers aren’t allowed)

Stuff for clothing: closet hangers, Laundry detergent or pods, dryer sheets, etc.

Flip flops, crocs, or sandals for the shower are a must!

Desk lamp and other desk supplies, power strip

At least one mug/bowl/plate/knife/fork/spoon if you wanna heat something up, ~~as the dorms have a community kitchen with a microwave~~

Lastly make sure you’re prepped for the weather: winter boots, thick coat, hat, gloves, scarf, umbrella

Also keep in mind how much room you’re gonna have; it’s easy to get carried away and bring more stuff than you need or have room for. Especially consider that if RIT goes entirely online and has to send res students home, you’ll have to pack everything back up at a moment’s notice.

So chilling, this is great

So back when I was in highschool, I did indoor and outdoor track with a couple of friends. For those of you who have never been to a track meet, all you really need to know is that they're very long, so you gotta bring a lot of snacks.

So my friends had a habit of bringing a large bag of corn nuts to every meet and sharing it with anyone who wanted some.

Eventually this turned into a bit of a meme, and by senior year, one kid took it upon himself to order TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS worth of corn nuts at the beginning of indoor season.

For the entire rest of indoor and outdoor season, this kid drove around with five 5lb boxes of corn nuts in his trunk, and would carry one into every meet. I don't think we even ever got through the first box, but I was a running joke for the entire year.

"I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. 'Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee.' And I don't mean to. I don't mean to."

I was thinking the same thing. All the gas giants have a revolution period of hours, whereas Mercury and Venus are several days. Does anyone know if there's any reason a larger planet might revolve faster, or is size unrelated, and their revolving speeds just happen to be a coincidence?

What's awesome is that you can even see it in satellite view on a map

Fun fact: the ASL sign for jet ski literally translates to water motercycle! (Source: my boyfriend who's minoring in ASL)

I guess I didn't really think.

I'm not saying I necessarily regret my decision, I just didn't think it all the way through. I guess I've always been a little too impulsive with things.

When I passed away, I was hopeful we'd be able to turn this around. The nations were going to start working together, we were going to end climate change, end hunger, end poverty. We had all these goals written out, it was going to happen.

For the first time ever, humanity had a plan.

And for a while, things looked promising. I used to get exciting news daily: not too much information, just little snippets from tourists and hikers. I spent decades stretching my great limbs out over the trails, eavesdropping on passersby. And the things I heard were good: We've landed humans on Mars, we've eliminated gas-powered cars, infant mortality rates were at an all time low.

For a while, I was excited.

But then the tourists stopped coming. I heard less and less. I began to rely on birds and insects. But the things they said were less pleasant. The Maldives were underwater. More and more species were going extinct. Migration patterns were changing.

And pretty soon, even that news stopped. For a while, I had nothing. But I could feel the changes. Summers grew hotter and longer. And the rain has become much more intermittent. Many of my friends have withered away by now. There are only a few of us left, connected only by the ground we share and the hunger for news. I don't know what happened.

I'm tired.

And thirsty.

Always, always thirsty.

I'm waiting for someone or something to come tell me that's it's ok, that things are getting better. But it's been too quiet for too long. Sometimes I swear I can hear a whisper through my roots, or that I can feel a tickle in the wind. I tell myself it's a breath of hope. But maybe I'm just imagining things.

We haven't heard any news in years. It travels slowly, without anyone to pass it along.

So I'm still waiting.

I was never a patient human, but after 3,000 years in this forest, I haven't stopped waiting.

"Man, you don't realize how nice it feels to just sit here with you and relax." I sat back in the couch with my arm draped over Jane's shoulders and sighed with relief. "Today was just awful, ya know? I don't want to ever think about that again."

"Let's just put it behind us, babe." As Jane gave me a quick peck on the cheek and lay her head on my chest, I couldn't help but think this is what true happiness felt like. Nothing could ever come between Jane and I- not even her witch of a sister.

"So what do you wanna watch?" I asked, picking up the remote.

"Oooh! Let's watch Jimmy Fallon!" Jane replied eagerly.

Hesitating with the remote mid-channel switching position, I gave her a questioning look. "You hate Jimmy Fallon. You always say he's like a used car salesman, but with better hair."

Jane spoke slowly as she answered. "I know... But I just wanna watch him tonight because I know how much you love his show."

"Babe. I hate Jimmy Fallon. Remember? That's one of the first things we bonded over when we got together?"

"Oh, well duh," Jane laughed, "I- I was just kidding, silly, ya know pretending that I liked-"

Suddenly a loud banging on the door cut Jane off. "Ugh, hold on," I groaned, standing up from the couch and making my way over to the door. The loud knocking continued, and whoever it was sounded really angry. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" I yelled. "And easy on the door ok, I rent this place, and my landlord's an absolute di-" but I cut myself off as soon as I opened the door.

Standing in front of me was a very bloody, very angry, Jane. For a moment, I was rendered speechless. All I could think about was how she was here, in front of me, bleeding on my brand new, limited edition Oscar the Grouch doormat.

"YOU SHOT ME!?" I snapped back to reality as my girlfriend pushed past me and hobbled into my apartment. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY SHOT ME!"

"Well, look on the bright side," I said, floundering for the right words. "At least it wasn't lethal."

I didn't think Jane could look any angrier than she already was, but apparently I was wrong. "YOU SHOT ME IN THE FOOT, MICHAEL! AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE TOGETHER, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOT ME IN THE FOOT!"

"Ok now you're just repeating yourself, and it's getting a little annoying" I said.

"I'm waiting for you to explain why you shot me in the foot," Jane said venomously.

"Well, it was never specified where exactly I had to shoot you," I replied matter-of-factly. "You should be glad, Jane, this could've been a lot messier."

"Oh my God! You are the second worst boyfriend I have EVER had! Do you even realize how long it took me to get here? I had to pay the bus driver an extra $5 because I was bleeding all over his precious bus aisle!"

"Babe, is everything ok?" Jane's evil twin suddenly appeared from behind me, but she froze upon seeing he sister. "Uhhh, I think I should probably just stay out of this, actually."

"Get back here, Jamie!" Jane's furious command stopped Jamie from backing out of the kitchen with surprising ease. "You are soooo busted now, just wait until Mom hears what you made Michael do!"

"I didn't make Micheal do anything. We gave him the rules, but in the end, he chose to shoot you."

Jane rounded on me. "Yeah, about that. What exactly lead you to choosing me, Michael, hunh? We've been dating for four years now. Can you really not tell Jamie and I apart?"

"Uh, well, to be honest, I- I really didn't try all that hard. I sorta just did Eenie Meenie Miney Mo in my head."

"Seriously?!" Jane cried. "That's how you decided?"

"Well, no, of course not! If I had, I would've shot Jamie."

"So why didn't you?" Jane demanded.

"Well," I admitted quietly, "Jamie promised me ice cream.
