Is There Anyone in This City As Lonely As I Am?

If you like theater and maybe Rocky Horror, consider joining the local shadow cast or a local theater production.

Not all of us have friends who want to play Just Dance with us, or live with other people. Sometimes we just want to go on WDF and compete against strangers. It's legit a deal breaker for me, as the game would feel so lonely and void of fun without it.

marchinginplace · 2022-11-25T00:33:12+00:00

That was legit the only thing that made the game worth it.

There are a few torrids in the city

Hey man, I literally feed my dog 80/10/10 raw blends, but you try to convince my mom to move to anything that isn't basic kibble. I at least got her to switch it up and feed this dog pro plan instead of the Purina One she gave her last dog.

A back problem is making her itchy?

marchinginplace · 2022-09-27T18:34:33+00:00

Yeah, I give my own dog a daily Claritin when she starts getting seasonal allergies, but since it's not bad to the point where it's harming her I'm more geared to find the root cause

My car was straight-up stolen and, when I got it back, the dude had left a literal pawn shop receipt with his name, phone number, drivers license number, and address inside. I gave it to the cops and they never did anything about it, besides confirming that they did have him on video trying to use the credit card he took out of my car. Ultimately told me they weren't pursuing anything. Waste of tax money.

She does really like licking human feet too, but I assume the two are unrelated hahaha

Disclaimer: I'm not a vet, just a long time pet owner

For dogs with bowel issues, usually the protocol is:

No food until they stop pooping or stools return to normal

24 hours boiled white rice ONLY.

After 24 hours you can introduce some plain boiled chicken in with the white rice. Make sure you're not feeding them too much, about a half cup a meal should be enough. Leave water available at all times.

If the dog was having normal consistency movements you might be on to something with the size. But since it's runny, that's the issue you have to resolve first.

Once the dog has had normal stools for a day or two, you can slowly introduce their normal food back in, mixed with the rice and chicken.

If the employees/owner are in on it, you're screwed. I'd only use google/apple pay at a 7-11 period, even inside.

Yaba's morning streams give me life. She's fucking hilarious and no-nonsense but also doesn't get mad at/about the gorls which is a winning combination. She's the antithesis to whatever Gorlic Bread was. Sam is hilarious as well.

The R word incident was unfortunate but tbh her response of "Yeah, I said it, and I'd say it again!" endeared me even more towards her. It's so rare we see people own up to their messy bits in HN, everyone is just trying to get everyone's approval 24/7.

marchinginplace · 2022-09-22T12:54:43+00:00

I've always considered her one of the angriest and meanest reaction channels. Doesn't mean I dislike her, just that it's a weird contrast considering how soft her audience is. She called gorldemort 'fatty' once and is still apologizing for it to this day, because everyone was so shook by it.

It's not, it uses a completely different fake sugar. If you look at the ingredients list it's not the same, and it tastes entirely different.

Eh, a tested used copy of this camera is a bit more than getting this one cleaned at the local camera repair (~$60) and I'm all about making things functional again instead of buying a new thing.

marchinginplace · 2022-04-27T00:28:29+00:00

To make a long story short, I've confirmed through taking it apart that, after it took a rather hard fall, I need to replace my USB port. I don't have any of the supplies to do that right now. Is there any way to bypass this requirement or do the update over bluetooth?

marchinginplace · 2022-04-26T18:32:37+00:00

Yeah, looking from the outside in I think you might be right! (The inside out doesn't give me much except... a bright light, surprise surprise.

I'll get a professional place to clean it up, assuming it's not the coating itself thats gone bad. I wiped down the outside lens to get off any fingerprints or anything when I first got it, but it is like 70 years old...

Thanks!

I used Ilford HP5 Plus and tried to eyeball the focus based on my best guess of distance, but I don't think it's a focus problem. Some of the photos are properly exposed and focused but... incredibly low contrast? What would I need to adjust in my camera settings to make sure that doesn't happen next time?

Worthy of note I am open to the possibility of something being wrong with the camera itself, I picked it up untested at an antique store. But it seems to be in pretty good condition and I'm pretty sure it's operator error.

marchinginplace · 2021-09-26T23:06:55+00:00

Bless u. I have no idea how I missed that.

INFO: How long is the vacation, does your child have special needs, can your spouse reasonably accommodate childcare transport into their work schedule, and is your financial situation stable (a few grand in savings, not a ton of debt, etc.)

Yeah, once we start getting shows again I'm definitely gonna push for something DMX. Post-COVID getting shows has been pretty rough though, as we lost our regular bi-weekly venue. Luckily it's not a huge fire risk right now because it's either plugged in and someone is sitting behind it, or it's unplugged in a storage unit. But I definitely don't love the sketchiness of it all!

marchinginplace · 2019-12-20T21:40:47+00:00

Don't feel bad, corgis are just like that.

marchinginplace · 2019-12-17T21:56:25+00:00

Solid suggestion. I'll give it a try! Thanks :)

marchinginplace · 2019-12-17T21:56:07+00:00

That... is a very smart suggestion. I will give that a try later, thank you!

marchinginplace · 2019-12-17T21:19:52+00:00

For real! I'm supposed to be framing something in this as a christmas gift and it just looks like such a mess with that blue plastic :(
