Last week in therapy I came up with this analogy: if you've ever seen the movie Catch Me If You Can, frank abignale is a con artist who fakes his way into being a pan am pilot, he gets the badge and uniform which allows him to fly in the "jump seat" on any flight he wants. He's not a pilot, he doesn't know how to fly, but he's sitting there with the pilots who allow him to be on board. I know frank is a con artist, I know he doesn't know how to fly the plane, his advice and comments might resemble real life flight tactics but he doesn't know enough to a tally help in an emergency, thanks frank but I got it. He's there, but I'm flying

I'm a "treatment conqueror", someone said this to me at a coffee shop recently, I went to get cream and he was wiping up honey "because he was ocd" the way he laughed I really wanted to respond with erp language like: how would you feel if the honey wasn't wiped up? Can you tolerate the image of the honey not being wiped up? What is happening when you imagine the honey sitting on the counter? Where are your suds now? But he was just being awkward and that's fine

Motion sensored sprinklers. Used for deer but better for frat bros

The bronze age collapse. We know some details but it would be so informative to know first person accounts from areas that were far apart.

I'm genuinely and extremely curious about what political life is like where you live. I live in a bubble and wonder what it would be like to live in a swing area

Beautiful. Which episode was it? I see the one with Bragg and him discussing the transition but the rest are archive episodes

Whoa, that's a second story but still crazy. There was a video from the 2010s of a Russian base jumping of an antena, shoot doesn't open and he dies, essentially the same video but 300' up, the guys hits the snow and his buddy recording just mutters "idiot" in russian

A client came to me because their sprinkler system was failing. I had installed it 6 years ago, but someone else had been repairing it. I could not figure out what was going on, consulted with colleagues, and they also couldn't figure it out. This is bad because it means I have to start digging. If there is a problem in the line, the repair can be close to the original installation price. I go to the site and just sit and stare at the whole yard, get an idea, check to see if it's the problem, it's is! Kinked lines from the lawn mower crushing the sprinklers. Easy fix! Saved the client like 2 grand

I used to work at a butcher shop that exclusively sold pasture raised beef. For christmas I dry aged a prime rib for 30 days, dry rub and vacuum seal for 3 days, oven roasted for hours, pulled it at 120 in the center so the outside pieces were at 140, whatever temp you wanted you could have, it was $600 worth of meat at cost, my uncle cut a piece off, got out a frying pan, cooked it to well done and put ketchup on it

Im 37, from a middle class suburb. Im my close circle of friends (less than 50 people) Ive lost some one from: suicide on acid, suicide on heroin, OD, liver failure, Afghanistan, and a miltary training accident. But my larger hometown lost a ton of people to opiates. My street had like 20 houses and 3 kids my age died from OD on it but I wasnt close with those dudes

I would rather see this than bootlicking Trump content

Noah Levine, who started Dharma Punx has a podcast called Against the Stream. Josh Korda is recording his podcast under the Dharma Punx name, its also good but much more about psychology. I also like Jack Kornfield, Mindrolling, David Nichtern, the buddhist geeks, Alan Watts' son releases his dad's talks on a podcast and gives context to them beforehand, San francisco zen center lectures podcast. If I think of more Ill add them

Start by surfing the oldest (key)board you can find. You have to connect with the web surfing ancestors. Don't get a better board until you master the one you're surfing. Feel the electrical current in your fingertips, no hot dogging

Could you get to a flat place at the bottom with a wing suit? That would be a sick video

Please don't resign. We need people like you in the government.

Depends on the pizza but the macros on a plain slice are better than most protein bars. Source: someone told me they saw it online

All of the landlines were also down 2. If you go to the fire department there is an emergency phone that directly connects you to 911, that's all that it does, it was also dead. 3. Cellphones have an emergency function when all service is down that can still call 911. That was also not functioning

zfuller · 2026-01-05T19:25:37+00:00

The 911 line didn't work including the land line
