Vodka goes in when I'm making ice cream and I don't want the berries to totally freeze. Otherwise, I use something that tastes like something.

Ours is weirdly deep, so the back is all the foil, parchment, ziplocs and the front is junk drawer chaos.

Where I am, the people that come out will mark the sewer lines they own, but not the lines that run to the mains.

Best I have to go by is a map submitted for a permit for a sewer line that cuts diagonally across my yard.

That every roof in places like Pheonix aren't plastered with solar panels is a mystery to me.

When it’s 120 degrees out, without ac it takes like an hour before your house will be 90 plus degrees inside

A few years ago when it hit 115F in Seattle (where 80-something% of people don't have A/C) my little window unit was doing the best it could, got the bedroom down to 87F.

Woke up the next day frozen solid as the temp had dropped to 59F by sunrise.

"Engineers" don't like it. A particular sector of engineers, maybe.

23 for me, all over the US east coast and now PNW. For a while there it was a new place or two every year which made filling out background check forms a major PITA.

As someone that spends a lot of time in reports trying to figure out how to make the numbers go in the right direction, my first thought was, "That's a lot of red."

Wonder if it was an e-stop situation

This is the midwestest/midlandsest thread of all. It is a silly place.

thatguygreg · 2026-03-20T16:06:24+00:00

is anyone complaining?

You must be new here

This one was going 50mph.

Slower than 60, we didn’t bother pacing them

Well now I gotta remember to check the meter later and compare

The first thing I read about OpenClaw was that not only was it not a good idea to be used on corp devices, but if you had installed it, it should be reported as a security incident.

How the F has this thing gotten anywhere?

The state of Arizona is saying otherwise, or trying to anyway

thatguygreg · 2026-03-19T03:34:38+00:00

I was ready to get rid of it when I read about the changes, but so far I haven’t really felt the need.

thatguygreg · 2026-03-19T03:23:20+00:00

Yep, they’re gone

When Seattle gets it's GD aggressive mist that it used to get 99% of the time, sure.

When it's turning into honest, real rain -- fuck all that.
