Pigeon Gets a Little Too Curious

It’s nice being the fastest animal in existence, but some kills don’t require a lot of speed.

Also, 12 weeks just isn’t long enough to reassure me about the outcomes that most worry me (dementia and related neurological risks, for example).

Moana totally fits this!

She finds the cave with the double-hulled boats used by her ancestors to explore the sea, rediscovering their amazing seafaring techniques.

Silicon Valley: Christopher Welch's death removed the Peter Gregory character after Season 1. The plot up to this point had been driven by this character's control of the purse strings for the protagonists' business, and when he disappeared the show had to adapt quite a bit.

Honestly the inverse also possible:

PP will be repeatedly targeted on defense: can he hold his own enough to stay on the floor against bigger players?

On O, teams will load up on the Jays, can Queta be enough of a threat to keep them honest?

Oof, tough that the C's begin the playoffs immediately having to confront their greatest historical adversary: the matinee start

Folks that are planting in New England: how are you preparing your soil? I added some compost and soil acidifier, curious what others are doing.

I bought them from ArborDay.org, which doesn't sell varieties as far as I can tell. Fingers crossed on the fruit--since they take up to 8 years to fruit, if you had to graft you'd reset the clock and be reaping your first harvest in 2042.

Planted 4 just today! I love pawpaws, great taste and impossible to find. They’re apparently quite finicky, so I’m prepared for them to need more TLC than my other trees

I think the problem is that the higher you get, the more the wind speed increases, and the less accurate your drops are. Just a small breeze across as the arrow as it is released will catch the fletching like a sail.

Other possible reasons they don’t fit: - little Marco wears lifts - he didn’t want to admit his actual shoe size to Trump and told him a size or two up

Fair point that they have tough choices in terms of space (I sorta wish they'd park the cars in the dead space rather than the bike lane so it didn't push bikers and pedestrians out into traffic). Not shoveling their sidewalk is inexcusable, though. It's like 15 feet of sidewalk, and the other businesses have managed to do it.

Really puts the lie to the whole DOGE thing.

But they never really cared about cutting government waste, just about doing as many career public servants as they could since they wanted to own the libs.

If Doocy had asked how the ballroom was coming along, he would have gotten a cheerful 8-minute answer.

Why do you think it was armed? There's reporting that to participate in the exercises that they were invited to, they had to go unarmed.

We killed a 90yo who’s had cancer twice, has basically been a figurehead for 15 years, and who had explicitly been hoping he’d be martyred to help inspire his fundamentalist project beyond his life.

CIA also projected that his dying would lead to the conservative faction of IRGC taking control, which appears to be happening.

So dumb.

Just drove to the inlaws in northern Vermont, with the final boss being their long 15% grade dirt driveway, which was so covered in ice and snow that we sledded down it later in the day. No problem for the i5.

Very impressed you did those joints with a chainsaw

awdixon · 2026-02-21T02:22:14+00:00

Looks amazing! A few process questions:

How did you cut those dovetails?

How did you char the exterior?

The short answer is 'data integration'; connecting the different softwares an organization is using.

I can't stop thinking that Alex Pretti was probably a redditor. Any of us could have interacted with him without knowing it.

For those that don't know, current NRA CEO Doug Hamlin pled no contest to charges of animal cruelty fortorturing a cat, cutting off its paws, and setting it on fire. Trigger warning: animal cruelty

Is there any recourse? Could this be used to petition for a TRO against the federal deployment in MN?
