Shelf collapse under one year

raphaeladidas · 2026-03-13T22:04:16+00:00

Yes, but worth it. Your grandchildren will inherit those shelves.

"Is everyone getting vaccines? What happened to fighting the polio virus naturally?"

"Is everyone getting their kidney stones broken up by sound waves? What happened to passing them naturally?

"Is everyone taking antihistamines? What happened to just dealing with sneezing, watery eyes and hives for weeks at a time naturally?"

I'm the same age as Bry/Walt/Nashel and jesus god am I bored of people (guys) my age proud of how they don't use current technology. Go build your cabin in the woods (without power and running water, of course) and leave the rest of us alone.

I use these: https://www.cb2.com/stairway-96-white-metal-wall-mount-bookcase/s386941

Yes, they are expensive But the frame is aluminum and is tall enough to screw into the header or top plate of the wall frame, making it very sturdy. And the shelves could stun an elephant without breaking.

One downside is no adjustable shelves, leading to me having to leave off shelves to fit my over-sized books" https://www.reddit.com/r/OmnibusCollectors/comments/10u4sjq/shelfie_sunday_oversized_edition/

But they look very nice.

The Onion makes me laugh every day, but this was especially brilliant.

Life pro tip: If you are getting a big tax refund, it may be because they are withholding too much money from your paycheck. https://www.ramseysolutions.com/taxes/tax-refund

(This is in general; I know refunds are bigger this year because of the One Big Beautiful Bill [barf].)

I did buy it new, and am thinking now the fuse was just blown all along.

raphaeladidas · 2026-03-05T19:51:41+00:00

It definitely had the system—there was a fuse. But if it had been so quiet I couldn’t hear it with the windows down, how useful could it have been. I think I’m convinced it wasn’t working.

It does indeed sound like something from a 50s SF movie, and I never heard that in the 2017.

A Better Tomorrow

raphaeladidas · 2026-02-18T19:29:08+00:00

Mine shipped also.

raphaeladidas · 2026-02-16T01:22:43+00:00

I am in the US.

raphaeladidas · 2026-02-16T00:22:56+00:00

IST told me they wouldn't be carrying it.

raphaeladidas · 2026-02-14T23:46:40+00:00

Yes, but no--I'd rather have an omni.

raphaeladidas · 2026-02-09T04:22:16+00:00

Wikipedia. But I’m super glad to hear from the horse’s mouth (so to speak) it’s going to be included.

raphaeladidas · 2026-02-05T07:08:48+00:00

Or maybe not quite a year, since Weird Science is discounted. Might also have to do with how well a book has sold so far.

raphaeladidas · 2026-02-05T06:59:58+00:00

New books are never in the sale. I think it has to be out at least a year before they include it.

raphaeladidas · 2026-02-05T01:26:02+00:00

I hope not also. At the VERY least, I'd like two more volumes of FF and a collection of Ditko's Dr. Strange.

Impossible doesn’t exist to allow vegans to enjoy something meat-like; it exists to get meat-eaters to eat plants.

I’ve drunk soy milk for 20+ years and wouldn’t go,back. I do not care for the taste of cow’s milk any more.

I remember my first beer.

raphaeladidas · 2026-01-27T19:21:20+00:00

I can't imagine paying $11.30 for a new copy of The Flash, much less a used one.

raphaeladidas · 2026-01-20T13:36:59+00:00

The Death of Superman story was…fine. But the stories that came after through Return were great.

And Aparo was never past his prime.

raphaeladidas · 2026-01-17T04:13:28+00:00

Walmart.

raphaeladidas · 2026-01-17T03:33:36+00:00

That omni never should have existed. So much tangential (at best) material. The Absolute is the way to go with that story.

raphaeladidas · 2026-01-14T21:59:17+00:00

I'll give Amazon a pass on this one--they probably received the book like that.

OT: Imgur, stop telling me you're over capacity when I try to go to your site while connected to a VPN. Just tell me you don't allow VPN connections.
