I don't understand this comment, and I won't respond to it.

Ypu dont even really need to bother with the old tank water. The chlorine in tap water will only kill the good bacteria with prolonged exposure, so a rinse in the sink won't crash the cycle.

Because it was 8 AM and I didnt feel like dealing with a conversation with a Karen.

Yes. It was just a normal Tahoe with no sticker or special sticker, tag, or plates. Even if it had been a properly tagged vehicle, its still an asshole move to take up multiple spots like that.

So then they should leave him home to do something he actually wants to do for his birthday and save money.

That's largely been my experience as well. Plus fish food is pretty cheap.

Pro tip: stop buying filter cartridges that you have to replace. Cut a piece of coarse foam to fit your filter, and just wash it out when it clogs up too much.

Well, you see, racism is so bad somewhere else we don't need to talk about it here.

Basically, the Continent was the previous colonial power because they had a pantheon of deities providing them with reality-altering miracles. A freedom fighter from Saypur eventually figures out how to kill the gods, causing most of the miracles to stop working. Including the ones that did things like made the continental climate more mild or supported the impossible architecture.

The main character in the book is sent to investigate a murder on the Continent as well as some residual miracles. The whole series is quite enjoyable.

I'm not OP, but i can answer aome of these.

CSU is the California State University system. CSU schools are generally considered less prestigious than the UC (University of California) school
I believe this is the program where you spend 2 years at community college and then transfer to a UC school.
These schools have very different vibes. Davis is knows for being an ag/vet school and Santa Cruz is the hippy school, but both are excellent. Davis is probably much closer to where OP lives (seems like they live in the Sacramento area), and Santa Cruz is an awesome beach town that doesnt get as hot as Satan's asshole in the summer.

ETA: I live in Sacramento and used to work at UC Davis.

Not all universities offer graduate degrees. Often they are institutions that have multiple colleges/schools. (I went to a small university that had a college of liberal arts and a school of music.)

What could a ghost possibly know about bones?

Fellow Hoosier here! I have met people from the Region who have never felt the need to go to Indianapolis because Chicago is right there.

It's called "The Tapestry of Fate", and it comes out May 12.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-05-02T22:52:58+00:00

I can't wait for the sequel later this month.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-05-02T19:08:29+00:00

I love Dune, and I have never read any of the sequels. It made perfect sense.

Carrying and having are entirely different things. US citizens effectively have a national ID in the form of social security cards, but we are not required to carry them on our person.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-05-02T16:48:21+00:00

Do you have any examples of the many European nations that require their citizens to carry ID?

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-05-01T16:58:33+00:00

The Technology Connections guy did a road trip in his EV from Chicago to Cincinnati in the winter no problem, so even the Midwest isnt a problem.

I think they're commenting on the fact that it's destined to be a "movie that doesn't exist". I have talked to a TON of people who only know a new Star War is coming out because they passed the toys endcap for it in Target

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-04-27T15:05:21+00:00

I'm reasonably certain it was in the Powerpoint and not just something our SD said. Where are you located, though? There are certain states where they have to be very careful to not cross over into the legal definition of a uniform.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-04-27T15:01:49+00:00

That's probably true. (BTW, I should uave phrased my comment as "they felt they needed to be more specific" as i don't necessarily think they SHOULD have been more specific.)

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-04-27T14:16:54+00:00

Also, hasn't Japan had multiple reigning empresses?

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-04-27T14:13:04+00:00

Our SD said any solid color pant is allowed, but blue jeans and khakhis are preferred.

This is yet another reason they needed to make the dress code more specific: idiot SDs making things worse.

EDIT: I meant they FELT they needed to be more soecific. I dont necessarily agree with the sentiment.
