I had no idea there was such a thing. I wonder if I can make a portable platform with the holes to use on my kitchen table when I need to hold things still. Currently, if I need something held, I put it on a cutting mat and tape the ever-loving snot out of it. Not really ideal lol
How is the new mirror going?
Finally. A rock-solid excuse for why the software I write has so many bugs in it!
Also! Given the amount of time I spend at my job dealing with buggy software (as the only nerdy computer person in the place) you are also helping to keep others employed!
Wait, I’m supposed to be doing my home improvements?
Oh boy, do I feel that one.

…wow. Suddenly I feel really old 😫
If that’s a popular place to cut through, that hedge would also get wrecked from kids trying to see if they can jump it.

I get it. I have a folder on my phone of all the screenshots I’ve taken off crafts I want to do (but probably never will) while doom scrolling.
Based on my own experience, this is how most cities handle their PD/FD funding, unfortunately. The fire department is just not important… until it is.
In my experience of being the person who always gets talked over, women do it just as much as men :(
The article doesn’t really say very much. They mention that the users are from many different countries, and their subject of choice is how to sexually assault women in their households. No mention of ID’ing those involved outside of saying that Telegram generally doesn’t cooperate when asked to give info on their users.
So it’s kind of a long story! To try and shorten it: I didn’t wear jeans much as a kid/teen because I have problems with my stomach and the button waist hurt my stomach. So I always had stretch pants on, and they weren’t a great look for me. I was already bullied a lot and the pants didn’t help any. Then I entered the working world and had to wear dressy clothes. I honestly didn’t really care though. 27 years of dressy clothes, and my boss retired and her replacement did not give a flying fig what I wore. Over the years, my stomach issues had gotten worse but I actually found buttoned pants more comfortable now. I went hog wild and bought all the jeans. All kinds of cute shoes to go with the jeans. I was fashionable! Yay! Aaaand then a year ago we got a new Big Boss who decided to require uniforms. He gave us a year to get used to the idea before we had to start following the new rules. Today was actually my last jeans at work day; Thursday it’s on to uniforms. I don’t actually mind the uniforms, but I am seriously mourning my cute clothes because outside of work I’m basically a shut-in and will almost never wear them again.
The way the guy talked, he seemed to imply he knew about a lot of other people involved in that movement. Perhaps the FBI was just really making sure all of their i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed so nothing goes wrong with bringing him in and getting him to divulge a lot of information. Or… the guy has already blown off half of a hand making his explosives. Maybe the FBI was waiting in the hopes he’d blow the rest of himself to kingdom come and they wouldn’t have to deal with him lol.
I don’t know him from a hole in the wall, but I wish they’d normalize jeans for office work. These are no longer the days when denim was only worn by physical laborers and looked shoddy. Jeans can look just as nice or just as awful as any other piece of clothing now.
Same here. Freshman English around 1990. We were not prepared lol
I am mediocre at a lot of things. But the way I combine and use those skills are what make my skill set unique and what makes them great.
I love this. It pretty much perfectly describes how I got every job I’ve ever had as an adult.
Look at it this way: after AI replaces you, a lot of companies are going to eventually realize AI can’t cut it. Once that happens, you folks will be in high demand. You just… have to find a way to survive in the interim. :(
Well, this is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a while.
I could never get into Halloween because I grew up in western NY and it wasn’t unusual to have a ton of snow by the end of October. Hard to to be excited about a costume when it has to be covered by winter clothing. I think the very last time I went trick or treating, I just threw a sheet over me and my snow suit and called it good lol.
Filial responsibility laws. There are some ways to get around them, but it requires having good parents that care about your future and a good elder law attorney.
Thank you!
