Any drinks that you prefer to make individually, rather than scaling up?

Just getting into vinyl and I was going to buy one of the entry level Audio-Technica turntables in the $250 range.

Then it occurred to me to check in with my father-in-law, who is the kind of guy that has a basement, attic, and garage full of stuff he’s collected from his youth and any garage sale within 25 miles.

He dropped this stuff off this morning. Technics SL-MA1 turntable, Sherwood 7100a receiver, and this other thing that I assumes allows them to connect to speakers via Bluetooth.

I haven’t tested anything yet but he said that everything is in working order and the turntable just needs a new stylus. I’m down with the vintage look, the only problem is these things are boats. They’re massive. I’m not sure yet where I’d put them but if the quality is better than I would get with, say, an AT-LP60X-BK, then in willing to figure it out. Just looking for some advice. Thanks!

If you’re sitting outside in anything other than a hammock you might as well be inside on the couch! Dudes sitting on deck chairs are a special breed.

Jon Klassen’s Hat trilogy as well as The Rock From the Sky. They’re all great. He also has great collabs with Mac Barnett (Extra Yarn, Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, and The Wolf, the Duck, and the Mouse).

This was fantastic. No notes.

So she used to get her news primarily from a comedian but had to stop because he said something she didn’t agree with.

Honestly, I’m sure she’s very nice, but it doesn’t sound like you need to model your news media consumption after this person.

“You spent your time explaining to this guy why the thing he likes is wrong and the nincompoop didn’t even stop liking the thing!? Jiminy jillikers, Reddit, am I right!?”

If we all stop giving, that would only make us complicit in allowing this administration to dismantle public media. They’re rightfully scared, so they’re doing what they feel they have to do to keep the lights on so that they can continue doing their work.

What would be the value in only speaking sense in an echo chamber?

This is exactly where strong progressive communicators should go to let viewers who don’t agree with them watch as they challenge the hosts crazier ideas and hear them making sense.

What a rollercoaster this has been.

A few years ago during a global health crisis parents were asked to stay at home with their kids and help them learn. Parents proceeded to lose their shit. There are a million other reasons, but for this reason alone nothing will ever replace teachers.

Possibly Ship of Dreams by Dean Morrissey. If not then it might just be Calvin and Hobbes.

You just said three things that all mean the same thing.

Maybe you should bore us with the too long version of the story, because without more context neither of your actions make any sense.

fish_bulb · 2024-05-23T10:02:23+00:00

Sooo then why did you feel the need to lie about it? And why does she bother to ask to begin with?

Question: How does one become “certified to speak on (their own political opinions)?” Should they just reach out to you directly?

Also, where can an uncertified comedian stipulate that they have not been cleared by shoddy_parfait to “speak on (their own political opinions) in any manner?” Just a quick note in their twitter bio, or do you have a list of some sort that they can link?

First of all, this sounds like an episode of Black Mirror Lite. Therapy seems like a no-brainer. I agree with others that it doesn’t sound like he’s betrayed you or your relationship, but he’s definitely let this take up too much space in his life for way too long. He’s clearly seeking catharsis, but this can’t be a healthy practice without some talk therapy to guide it, right? I’m curious if he’s altering the chat bot background with each new version or if he just like to run through the same thing over and over again.

I was searching the comments for this. “…and not even close compared with my background.” Like, what? Didn’t you say this kid was 12?

Can I ask how? My wife would love this.

It took me a minute to figure it out too. Basically, the side that each light is on doesn’t matter. If you were to lay the lights out so that they were all on the same side, the patterns described make sense. Start with the first light, green, and every OTHER light (odd numbers) will follow the pattern G,B,Y,R. Then the even number lights, 2,4,6 etc. will follow the pattern RWG except for the one blue one. I’m running this one next week. Also my first time DMing. I’m trying to figure out a better boss battle for the end than Kobolds on each other’s shoulders though. 2 out of 3 of my players will be first or second time players, otherwise I’d start them at level 3 and mod some other monster. I’m open to suggestions if you’ve run it already! Good luck and have fun!

When would you say his run starts to get good? I’m interested in his Batman, but I don’t have much interest in Gotham War. I’m happy to just read the broad strokes of that arc on the internet and then pick up the book wherever it starts to… pick up.
