I would have if I expected it to be delivered. It wasn't supposed to be there for another week, hence my surprise.

We have a parcel room.

They don't use it half the time.

Same thing happened to me.

I ordered an expensive instrument, and they said it'd be delivered the week after Thanksgiving.

Got an email that it was delivered to my porch the day after Thanksgiving, when I was all the way across town.

I didn't want to leave a $1,300 lute on my doorstep for anyone to snatch, so I drove the hour home to secure it. It wasn't there after all, so I installed their stupid app and it told me it would be delivered next week.

One of the worst buying experiences I've ever had. 1/10, would not recommend.

As an ideology, reactionism is a tradition in right-wing politics; the reactionary stance opposes policies for the social transformation of society. In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.

All too normal, unfortunately, but I take your meaning: they're a minority who seek power by drumming up hatred for the vulnerable. Solidarity is the only answer, and it's why they seek to divide us.

I'm sure the reactionaries will be just as mad at her as they were at Jussie Smollett, because they are thoughtful people with strong principles.

There was a book called The Ministry for the Future in which eco-terrorists used these drones to enforce fuel efficiency standards on shipping freighters.

It's a very interesting book about taking the world back from billionaires who would ruin it to enrich themselves.

You exonerated a fascist because your goals were aligned. You don't get to cry about what other people did when you signaled that he was in the club.

The guy attacked the place where you work with violent intent and you just shrugged because you hoped the Dems would take out the trash for you.

Once again the Party of Personal Responsibility expects other people to wipe their ass and flush for them. Go fuck yourself, McConnell.

Need to go candelabra style with them all attached at the base.

What is your budget?

Fucking insane that SCOTUS let this criminal blowhard run again in defiance of the constitution.

The whole idea of parading suspects in front of the media is a mockery of the principle.

Fuck the NYPD.

 
 

Annibale Carracci was an Italian painter and instructor, active in Bologna and later in Rome. Along with his brother and cousin, Annibale was one of the progenitors, if not founders of a leading strand of the Baroque style, borrowing from styles from both north and south of their native city, and aspiring for a return to classical monumentality, but adding a more vital dynamism. Painters working under Annibale at the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese would be highly influential in Roman painting for decades.

 

Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an interlocutory appeal June 17, on the same day a trial centered around the validity of Project Connect’s funding structure was set to begin. The attorney general’s initial claim argued the Austin Transit Partnership — the organization tasked with designing and constructing the Project Connect light rail system — didn’t have the jurisdiction to bring forth a bond validation lawsuit, filed in February.

...

The 15th Court of Appeals dismissed Paxton’s appeal, citing “lack of jurisdiction.” The case was originally punted from the trial court to the Third Court of Appeals before landing in the 15th Court of Appeals, which began operating Sept. 1.

I think they've been watching too much porn.

 

I hope this isn't too far outside the scope of this community; I just thought the people here would find it interesting how the same engineering problems were solved before computers were ubiquitous.

 

I picked this up yesterday and checked out a few games in the collection. What I've played so far has been a blast.

 

The canvas is filled with multiple mini-scenes including a Punch and Judy, the coach of a newly married couple, and a funeral procession. In the background on the right is St Marylebone Church.

 

Here is the painting that was based off the drawing, but I really like the drawing so I made that the main post.

 

I put some asparagus in vinegar with garlic, red pepper flakes, and pickling spice a couple weeks ago. I just cracked it open, and they're fantastic!

I also started a batch of sauerkraut today with garlic and caraway seeds in a brine. Gonna keep an eye on it and hope it comes out alright. I like that it's a live fermentation, and will hopefully be full of good probiotics.

What's your favorite thing to pickle, and in what?
