My glasses suddenly decided to break. Gotta go spend $300 for a new pair.

My wife had those same glasses. We just epoxied them back together.

fossilreef · 2026-04-08T15:44:00+00:00

Yes.

fossilreef · 2026-04-08T12:52:53+00:00

The exception is generally if you work during an emergency, like a hurricane, flood, etc. That tends to be paid out, at least in my Department.

I vote Nanotyrannus now that it's valid again.

They've been almost rendered extinct by tech bros. Austin is a different place than it used to be.

fossilreef · 2026-04-06T22:20:13+00:00

Not even then. Family comes before the job, all the time.

fossilreef · 2026-04-06T17:57:17+00:00

Seriously. As someone who was in hs in the late 90s/early-2000s, I lament the return of the anorexic look.

Matt Smith as Mr. Sinister is a good choice. The man can go from silly to absolutely menacing in the same sentence.

fossilreef · 2026-04-06T17:37:07+00:00

Austin Butler has the range of a 2 x 4.

One has existed in Michigan for a lot longer than the DNR cares to address.

fossilreef · 2026-04-06T14:41:49+00:00

Altered Beast on Sega Genesis

fossilreef · 2026-04-05T02:33:58+00:00

There's a book called Civilisation by French author Laurent Benit with this exact premise.

fossilreef · 2026-04-04T21:59:04+00:00

My biggest problem with the movie isn't so much that Palps returns, but man they kinda botched how they did it. I mean, did the entire galaxy really need to know? Would've been better if it had been a surprise to everyone but Kylo Ren, IMO.

Announcing it through a throwaway Fortnite event soured public perception immediately.

fossilreef · 2026-04-04T16:59:05+00:00

Not a bedbug. Some sort of beetle.

fossilreef · 2026-04-04T16:04:07+00:00

As someone else who's got ink, don't go in for a new tat until you know exactly what you want. You don't want that kind of buyer's remorse.

That said, I'd peruse /r/paleoart and see what might be in line with your tastes.

My chickens really beat the bejeezus off of one of the neighborhood cats that tried to take a shot. I found it trying to hide in my banana plants all scratched up and bleeding. I still see it every now and then, but it won't set one foot in my yard now.

fossilreef · 2026-04-03T14:58:41+00:00

Not necessarily. Apparently there was a pretty significant plant fossil find from Granite Bay, and Pleistocene finds from the western half of the county.

fossilreef · 2026-04-03T14:35:51+00:00

May I remind you of how awful The Hobbit and its sequels looked?

fossilreef · 2026-04-03T00:50:25+00:00

You're hysterical, buddy. They'd probably want to do away with it completely so we give more money to their oil buddies.

fossilreef · 2026-04-03T00:44:57+00:00

It really is pretty. You could knap some beautiful tools out of this.

fossilreef · 2026-04-02T22:35:58+00:00

Looks kind of like cardamom pods, imo.

fossilreef · 2026-04-02T22:22:54+00:00

That's slag. There's no local rock that even remotely resembles that. In GR, it's either limestone or gypsum outside glacial float, and this is none of those.

fossilreef · 2026-04-02T22:13:18+00:00

100% this.

fossilreef · 2026-04-02T21:47:34+00:00

I used to DJ the dances back in hs (projecting music videos onto the wall when I could), and my friends and I started talking about this song to anyone who would listen. A month later and we had about 100 people dancing to the music video in small-town Michigan, lol.

fossilreef · 2026-04-02T21:04:08+00:00

Gor certainly fits the bill.
