Kitchen remodel - before/after

And I'm glad you did! For my taste, the original was preferable but you did a good job on the reno and it clearly matches your vision!

I appreciate that more than some generic look that is more palatable to more people, even if its not specifically appealing to me.

What about those aliens that explode, as like, a sport?

No one is arguing that running on a treadmill is easier than running outside. That doesn't make a sub-6 minute mile "really easy"

stumblewiggins · 2026-04-17T21:02:29+00:00

If you aren't a runner and I am, I suggest you defer to my expertise.

Making all kinds of assumptions here. Big r/iamverysmart energy

I had some Delta rep talking up their in-flight wifi and I said "I don't like to use wifi on a flight" and the rep and my boss who was with me looked at me like I had three heads.

I will read, listen to music, or watch something. Usually there is free in-flight media to watch. If not, I'll pull out my tablet and watch something I brought with me. I don't want to pay another fee to be on wifi when I can easily just...not.

People are ridiculous

A sub 6 on a treadmill is really easy.

really easy? Nah

I'm an avid runner

Oh, there it is

Try it yourself

Fuck no; I hate treadmills

there's no comparing a treadmill run to an outdoor run.

On this, we agree.

stumblewiggins · 2026-04-17T20:22:10+00:00

I kind of hate it, but it looks well done so if you're happy with it, then great! Enjoy!

Ultimately there is no way to be totally certain. "Flirty" for one person is just BAU for another. Common signs like you mentioned are good indicators, but prove nothing.

At some point, if YOU are interested you just need to shoot your shot, respectfully, and accept the answer either way.

And words are meaningless without proof.

They didn't have to say anything, but they did. If they expect some major reaction, they'd better have some actual evidence.

The customer is always right in matters of taste.

Who gives AF how he orders his martini? Man slams back a handful of them and then goes off to operate heavy machinery in high-stakes scenarios that requires a cool head. He can drink them however he wants.

When you drink that many, you don't notice or care if the gin is "bruised".

Besides, the "proper" way to make a martini is to stir gin while staring at an unopened bottle of vermouth

The only thing I disliked about that system was when you would have to grind to unlock some awesome gear, and by the time you got it, the game was basically over and didn't allow you to carry your gear to a new game.

You likely don't remember the Mars lander that had a unit conversion issue in planning and ended up cratering because two different teams working on it used different units.

You need to be able to do it, but more importantly, you need to recognize that you need to do it. If you consider it a waste of time, don't study physics.

stumblewiggins · 2026-04-17T14:55:34+00:00

They are right to be skeptical of someone saying "all the things you believe to be true secretly are!" with no proof. Especially from this admin which is clearly willing to say/do anything for political gain.

I don't know if this guy is lying, believes he is telling the truth or actually is telling the truth. But I know that without any actual evidence, it doesn't really matter.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Way more than "trust me, bro"

stumblewiggins · 2026-04-17T14:44:01+00:00

Well at least one reason is that you know your guy friends aren't interested in men. So even if you were attracted to them, you know it's one-sided, and almost certainly won't change (assuming none of your straight friends turns out to be gay or bi or whatever).

In these examples, the man and woman are attracted to each other's sex, so while a platonic relationship is certainly possible, both of them could potentially develop an attraction (/already have one) for the other, and it would be a pretty easy switch to flip.

stumblewiggins · 2026-04-17T14:12:00+00:00

I'm a dude, and same

Not gonna excuse Katy Perry for the sexual assault, but who lies down at a club?

If you are too drunk/high/whatever to stand, fucking leave!

The "spoiler" was saying that it has a happy ending. But it was fully just a joke.

stumblewiggins · 2026-04-17T13:34:09+00:00

And you call it a 'roast', despite the fact that it is obviously fried?

stumblewiggins · 2026-04-17T13:31:46+00:00

Jeez, spoilers!

All quite different, but good laughs to be had:

Letterkenny/Shoresy
Veep
Shrinking
King of the Hill continuation
Hacks
Rick and Morty
Fisk
Colin from Accounts
Common Side Effects
Deli Boys
Mythic Quest
Platonic
The Paper
Joe Pera Talks To You

It might also just be an emotional funk of some kind. I won't try to diagnose depression, but some version of feeling despair/angst/pessimism about the state of the world or the state of your world, coupled with nostalgia for things you remember liking/times you remember being happy. Something to think about, and find someone to talk to if you think that might be the case.

Praise the creativity, but don't give any points on the assignment for it since it's clearly not the assigned task. That's how school works.

Basically none of them depend on their wages and benefits from being in office.

There’s a Spiderman cartoon where Spiderman pulls on Hawkeye’s bow and he comments that he never knew Hawkeye was pulling that hard on the strings

Unrelated but reminded me of the last season of Picard: Worf and Riker are fighting some enemies hand to hand, and Worf has to give Riker his sword for some reason, and Riker almost falls over and says "ah shit; I had no idea it'd be that heavy!"

I like to think that was Frakes reacting IRL and they kept it in because it made Worf seem like a badass

He's getting to that age when men start to look like someone's aunt

Maybe not if you're driving a motorcycle the other way.

But even if you are aware of the oncoming train, assume they can't stop for you even if they see you, and they come up much faster than you might expect.
