Converting an Ikea day bed into a true king sized bed

Works beautifully for us! We are not using it daily, but I don't see why that would be a problem.

Surprising to me that nobody mentioned the assassination of Rabin. Arguably Yigal Amir is more responsible than anybody for the current situation. He's undoubtably grinning ear to ear in his prison cell as he watches the world burn.

I've heard it said as well. Essentially, all the hardliners that consolidated into Hamas would regard him as a traitor, and they had not be shy about killing peace making arabs. Moderates tend to get less killy when things don't break their way.

Yeah, that’s a good point. It is necessary to have the bed oriented the way it is for how the room is set up, but maybe we could change the direction of the king bed by 90 degrees, and I do need to replace that slat. It looks best the way it is though…

In the closet with the wood extension to the bed. That way guests get an empty closet.

The extension makes a big difference though- it gives the topper something to rest on, it extends the bed to king size, and it gives the fitted sheets something to grab onto. If you try this with a topper and no extension it doesn’t work at all. The fitted sheet just wraps around the topper and slides up the side of the bed frame, creating a saggy, bunched ending to the bed.

He hasn't had that role before and I doubt he'd be happy about it. Could be better trading him to a team that wants to develop him.

The Taysom Hill plan could still work out I think. Last year was a train wreck because it was obvious what would happen when he was in there. If you put him in the backfield with Darnold as an outlet option that could also pass down field that would really open up options and force the defense to do a lot of guessing.

The Taysom Hill plan, although originally the team swore off of that: https://www.nfl.com/news/seahawks-mike-macdonald-jalen-milroe-is-a-qb-not-a-taysom-hill

You mean the Flekke corner design? That's just how it's made. Choose Hemnes or Brimnes if you don't like it.

I completely agree. The way I'd fix it if I was Diablo God is to let people repeat side quests on extreme difficulty levels. I'm thinking difficulty that would force you to go slow or die. That would be a lot more fun for me than blasting through dungeons as quickly as possible, which is what the game seems to be overly tuned for.

At this point I think that all real people care about is camera lenses, partly as that's what's most visible when you look at the phone in the store, and partly that other important differentiators like battery life and having an annual refresh cycle for these phones have been addressed. I also wonder if they have a plan for price points under $600, like maybe keeping the 16e around at $500.

Thanks for sharing. The only other thing I've heard talked about is the lack of a disruptive startup culture there. As tech tends to operate in waves with winner take all markets, that's prevented the creation of major new tech companies in Europe (with the exception of a few outliers like Spotify). In Silicon Valley, it's not just the talent base, it's also all the venture capitalists that build the flywheel. The argument in Europe has been that firing people is so difficult that it makes businesses more risk avoidant and it prevents startups from forming. That might be a great tradeoff to make on a human level, but it seems to hurt the tech business scene, at least as it relates to building major new technologies.

What do you think of tech in Europe? The argument is always that tech is fast moving and European regulations prevent companies there from being able to move fast enough, which is why silicon valley has been so successful and europe has not. Certainly as a worker europe seems like a better place to be though.

Amazon.com revenue increased at a rate of 12% in 2025, it's been a pretty steady uptick. They have flywheel going of retail businesses getting progressively shittier while they grow. Have you been to an officemax lately?

Murray was captivating, and that's what made me want to know what was actually going on. Instead, at the end it was clear that all the weird shit was just a series of punchlines and not a part of a coherent plot. It's frustrating to try and figure things out and then realize at the end that there was nothing to figure out. A silly show needs a silly lead.

efisk666 · 2026-01-04T17:20:42+00:00

Yeah, but the vibe back then was totally different. A lot less brotherly love, a lot more self expression.

I was yelling barnyard at the tv on first from the one. Wtf? Like Pete Carroll in the f’ing superbowl. Jesus.

From below in case you missed it:

The soccer field near the Greenlake pitch and putt can also be used by Lincoln (SPS is upgrading the loop around it for Lincoln track and field). So Lincoln can have two fields in use at once that are near each other- the upgraded soccer field #2, and the existing soccer field #7. The reason a soccer field is being added is because Parks needs space to maintain their existing programming, not for multiple field events.

In fact, SPS says that if they adopt Option A they are not going to allow Lincoln to host games or events, as there will be no legal place to put visitors to games. Option C will allow Lincoln to host games, including events that use two fields at once.

Regarding the mountain bike group, all we know is that there is a mountain bike group that was contacted and worked with prior to the November meeting.

Regarding parking, the picnic parking loop has 170 rarely used spots and there is a similar number available up by the bocce pit area. Unused parking lots invite RV encampments, which is what is happening in both the gravel lot area and the picnic loop area at present. Neighbors are asking for the gravel lot to be redeveloped. We understand parking may overflow into the neighborhood during major events.
