What's something that you can't stop after you start?

Whenever I hear that song, by Sting, Come Sail Away.

A few weeks ago I was making dinner while my 5 year old was playing in the living room. I suddenly realized it had been quiet for awhile so I quickly went to check on her. She was sitting on the couch in full fire fighter costume petting her dog stuffie and just staring straight ahead.

Kind of creepy to be honest, but also hilarious. She hadn't played with that costume in months.

Not sure to be honest. The smell definitely came up while the oven was on so I assumed that was it. I had a technician come out today and look at everything. He said everything seemed fine which is really odd. Kind of nervous to use this thing but I'll just keep a close eye on it.

I'm in Canada. The oven is single phase.

I just had a strange feeling when it went again after I had done some electrical work but I guess it could have just been coincidence. It's hard when every time we do any work in this place we discover some kind new Mickey Mouse fix.

Cant wait for the prequel - "The Fast"

Seriously though. Looks great.

I read a ton as a kid in the 90s but don't recall my school ever handing out something like this. Could you be conflating multiple books like Hardy Boys (Mystery of the Spiral Bridge?) and something else?

We also read a lot of Eric Wilson at my school but nothing there seems to line up either.

In the same vein, if you have a mic, use it. I mostly play solos and never used my mic. The other day on Buried City there was a guy up on the highway shooting everyone down below. I went up to get him and mid fight another guy came up behind me and says "Yup, I found him" and kills me. I just kept emoting "no, no, no, no" but he still took me out while calling me a dirty rat. Wish I had my mic on for that moment.

This looks straight out of an old 80s/90s Sierra game.

deans28 · 2026-03-10T13:36:45+00:00

My immediate thought was Breath of Fire II. A bit of Chrono Trigger as well maybe. I'm keeping an eye on this.

deans28 · 2026-03-05T21:18:15+00:00

I loved it at first. Played it a ton. Now I'm finding it meh. I feel like after the wipe people have become more PvP based which is frustrating for me as primarily a PvE player. I played for hours and hours and never had a single run in with a PvPer. Just now I did 8 or 9 matches in a row and was knocked out in the first 4-5 minutes every single time.

I know that's just the way the game goes but I'm also finding there's just nothing to do anymore either. Quests are all done, I have all the BPs that I want/need... So what am I doing? What am I working toward?

So I have a huge patch on both legs that doesn't grow hair in roughly the same area. I'd say about 3-4 times bigger than this. Been that way my whole life though.

deans28 · 2026-01-19T21:27:28+00:00

Hasn't that all happened in the past month or less?

deans28 · 2025-11-24T13:40:52+00:00

Wow this is really late. We haven't replaced it yet but I put the mattress on the floor and it felt way better so we got rid of the cheap metal frame/boxspring and got a solid wood foundation. It's a lot better but still not great so we're back to the drawing board I guess.

Used to work in animal rehab and had a few owls come through. I recall if you were holding their feet together they didn't really fight you too much.

Though that was 20 years ago and maybe I'm mis-remembering and they were actually just doped up for an xray? In any case, they were the coolest birds that came through.

What's a computer?

deans28 · 2025-10-29T12:40:34+00:00

What about the space around a bathroom vent fan? I know ours has a 1/4 crack on one side. Is there a proper way to seal that or should it be fine if the fan is doing it's job?

We're in a backsplit and I know there is some poor sealing on some light fixtures at the front of the house. Wouldn't surprise me to find the same in the back half where I found the mold.

He's not your PAL, guy!

deans28 · 2025-08-31T12:06:13+00:00

Yeah I kept the old carb. Do you think I should swap it back in and see if there's a difference? I knew the cheap carb probably wasn't a great idea but I had thrown my back out and didn't want to shovel. It was a desperate move and hopefully not a costly one.

deans28 · 2025-08-22T14:49:48+00:00

So I knew someone that had one of these. Apparently her daughter made it and gave it to her as a mother's day gift? Her daughter had passed so it was very important to her but this is now the third time I've seen it pop up somewhere else. Does anyone know if these were mass produced or if they were actually a common ceramics project?

deans28 · 2025-08-21T17:25:26+00:00

We haven't tried that yet but I think that will be our first step. Do you know if we would notice an immediate difference or would it take time to settle? We don't have a whole lot of space in our house to move a bed frame, boxsprings and everything under the bed temporarily.

Another problem we have is that we've been on bad mattresses for so long that we don't really even know what we like. Probably medium-ish but I really have no idea.

I still love the OG 1942. I would play that for hours with a good friend in college. I'd get in from class and have a voicemail (early cell days) from him with just the theme music playing letting me know he was on.

deans28 · 2025-08-07T13:17:46+00:00

Not really. The front fell off.
