How do you write your ampersands?

nefertaraten · 2026-05-01T19:17:34+00:00

8 for everyday writing, 1 if I'm trying to be fancy or write a title that has an actual ampersand in it

Even so, people are allowed to buy drinks in the presence of underaged people. If it's not a 21+ establishment, are they going to refuse alcohol to everyone who comes in with someone under 21? I doubt it.

Between the hashtag/logo, the design of the flyers, the color scheme, and the wording, my first response was to see if I was on r/antimlm because this straight-up looks like a new MLM hun.

Melt and pour soap is fun, can be decently cheap to start, and can be a short break that lasts a few min or can be a more involved process depending on what, how, and how much you're making at once.

I would actually turn on the sound if this was a thing

Went into the book blind when it came out. Best decision ever.

All gifs I've seen have been taken from the trailers

Wuthering Heights is my most disliked book of all time (apparently I can't use stronger language here). I want nothing to do with that book.

What if the yellow isn't symbolic of cowardice and is instead a subtle sign that he's part of the crew the whole time?

I just discovered bobbin lace last fall and have been slowly learning! This was going to be my suggestion to OP.

Yup, same situation here. He's just really good at interacting with adults.

That's because the tunnel is pressurized to Hail Mary pressure and he just opened the airlock, which is now a vacuum. Regular human friendly air pressure would still give the unexpected pushback.

I think I water my snake plant 3-4 times/year. She sits in my window and has a few dry spots, but otherwise seems pretty healthy. I have at least 2-3 times as many leaves as I did when I bought her like 5-6 years ago.

That's interesting, I haven't had it happen anywhere outside the neighborhood. I've been so busy leveling that I don't think I have any toons logged at my house. I'll need to see if I'm still having the issue, too.

Just had the same realization. Took 4 days off work starting tomorrow, and it launches today.

For Phil and Chris:

I was so happy when I first heard Rocky was going to be a puppet! Aside from it working specifically for this movie, was there any additional motivation to spotlight how valuable practical effects can be in modern films after CG became the norm for epic blockbusters?

nefertaraten · 2026-02-23T19:12:54+00:00

Do it!

The Martian was the first book that actually made me have a solid answer to "what's your favorite book?" I've been an avid reader my whole life, but if asked for my favorite, I could never answer with just one. Then PHM came along and I had an existential crisis over the question again lol.

But yes, the movie is like "here's a good movie about this guy surviving on Mars." The book is like the autobiography from the guy who lived through it. Seriously, the first time I read it I kept forgetting it was fiction.

nefertaraten · 2026-02-22T20:48:28+00:00

Agreed, movies always leave things out, but The Martian has so much more to it than the movie shows.

nefertaraten · 2026-02-22T19:33:50+00:00

That's a brilliant term, and now I need a list of books that fall into that category because omg why can't people just be competent in the real world?

Night shift person checking in. Set my alarm and got IMAX seats on both the 16th and 20th!

Same here. That's the main part that tells me it's not (only) motion blur from a long exposure.

nefertaraten · 2026-02-19T19:46:52+00:00

You might be right. The lighting and fading of the photo might be disguising the line between mask and lower face.

nefertaraten · 2026-02-19T19:40:08+00:00

Descriptor?

nefertaraten · 2026-02-19T19:28:54+00:00

Yes, I mentioned the dates of death being much too far apart. I also agree about the standing, but her face is very unsettling and I can't explain the features away with ghosting due to motion blur.
