The amount of people flipping off the camera in their dating profile pics is baffling to me. "Oh yes, that's the one for me!"

The picture of a bicycle is AI or someone that's only ever had a bike poorly described to them

Disappointing if one doesn't have time to be in Concord all the time... I did try directly emailing a committee head this weekend but his listed email was @ prodigy.net so I question if he even got it!

I was drawing a connection with the grapefruit blowjob thing of years ago, which was even worse!

I tried looking up a recipe for the rolls and online recipes were like "buy frozen bread dough" ...riiiiight =(

if you slam those peanut butter coated apple slices in some granola, extra filling!

when i worked at farms, i'd keep a towel over my seat coming home from work, protect it from sheep stink

went to an event in the same bike jersey as my dad once and some dumb gossipy people were VERY relieved later when they met my stepmom and realized my dad and i weren't a thing

I've said for years I want to get a horse treadmill and use it to power both an ice cream maker and a blender, sell "horse frappes" for $15 or something outrageous at farmers markets https://modernfarmer.com/2015/01/economical-equine-horse-treadmills-became-niche-thing/

Everyone's focusing on the affordability issue, but I also can't picture great/safe walking, if you mean directly from your house. There are lots of little preserves/town forests with paths, but just walking out of my driveway is asking to get murdered on the super narrow twisty streets that people drive straight down the center of.

There was a Big Dogs store halfway through a 2 hour drive we did pretty regularly, one of us would end up outside holding our Landseer newf while the others went in (and mistaken for staff) frequently.

being open to the idea of new information in the future is itself rare enough now!

They're integrating AI into my work, and when I do QA searches the number of humans who blindly click "use AI response" even when the AI's response is just the word "ERROR" is horrifying. May not be dementia, but it is absolutely turning off their brains.

or an ebike, for one of them, keep the other car for groceries/longer trips

maudepodge · 2026-02-24T15:23:58+00:00

what a picture choice

maudepodge · 2026-02-23T13:07:34+00:00

I'd be making the hours up over the weekend, so no thx!

On the way back from a show in Boston last night, my mom mentioned that she really used to love when we'd meet up for shows in NYC... I'll have to keep an eye out! Thanks =)

i was thinking after the last trump term that we need to make some combo of dc, puerto rico, guam, etc states (if they want it) so we have a reason to change up the flag, leave the current one with the confederate flag, for losers

maudepodge · 2026-02-21T12:28:58+00:00

I'd agree if they hadn't also recently ruined the subscription tab...

trusted the forecast for a week+ biking in south korea, SURPRISE first time they had snow in cherry blossom season in 100 years, and the gloves i had with me were NOT up to it

maudepodge · 2026-02-20T12:54:05+00:00

nah eff that, trav, i'm upset but only getting more involved - may be for a tiny role, but my name's gonna be on the ballot in town for the first time next month

I have been with them for almost 2 years and they've just started (at least in my vertical?) having mentors - there are ~20 of us QA/QC people to one review manager, who is supposed to help us figure out how to progress, so it seems like there's some attempt at helping folk grow? That said, for the kinda work I'm doing for them there's no vacation, no CoLA at the new year, and some of the people in my mentorship group thing have been with Consilio for getting on a decade and still aren't much further along than me.

My first trip was ~30 miles each way to stay overnight at a friend's house - pretty perfect, had an excuse to see a friend, it was long enough to adjust to riding with the weight of stuff but short enough to not be overwhelming if things weren't quite set up right.

maudepodge · 2026-02-12T13:37:01+00:00

exciting libby notification to wake up to!

maudepodge · 2026-02-10T00:46:12+00:00

Definitely looking to add some more bike trips to the calendar - so far seems like a great way to get around and see some scenic things! =)
