My grandfather and his neighbor would sit on the front porch for a couple hours every few days. Neither would say much more than a handful of words, just vibe. Now all of the new-build homes don't have porches and it makes me sad.

Looks like a rental thing?

The whole site does have this "Musky Superiority" vibe to it.

You would imagine that someone would have already re-tried this idea and called it "bespoke gas service" or some nonsense. Put it as a subscription service and prolific nature of Love's or Buc-ee's and you would get people signing up like crazy.

Genetic Apex: Dewgong

Mythical Island: Magikarp

It's the only ones I'm missing in the ◊ and ◊◊ ratings. I figure they'll pop eventually. I know the company is probably boosting the pull rates for the pretty cards to pull people in and get more whales on the platform.

As neat as this is, I feel like you'd miss a lot of important things depending on the list you put in. I understand not wanting to be flooded by garbage, but be careful to not fully check-out of things that will affect you.

  • Nazis marching in the next town over could be something to know about.
  • Trump talking to your PM might be of a concern.
  • Musk opening a Lithium battery facility near your hometown might be something to think about.

I hate that we (the US) is ruining the news cycle again with absolute garbage, but please don't harm yourself in avoiding it.

Start of Vid: Man, I don't want to have to cut a slot in a bolt, that's a pain. This solves nothing.

End of Vid: Where are my cutoff wheels?

Reading the directions on these kinds of tests they say something to the nature of:

Any line, no matter how faint, is considered positive.

So, yes. I had the same result in December. Hope you start feeling better soon.

I wonder if using baking paper would help with this. It can handle higher heat and may not stick like regular printer paper.

Artax from The Neverending Story

[–] somewhiteguy 47 points 3 weeks ago

There is a certain point in a child's life where they are either going to hear it from you or hear it from a surgeon. My 11 year old had a desire to jump from high places for a time as well. He bruised his heel once and had a hard time walking for a week. Pain is a very good educator. Dissuade them from anything that may end their short life early, but if it's just going to hurt, let them go. My guidance for kids generally is to be mindful not to tear up the furniture or harm others, but if this hurts after I've warned you it's on you. Here is the first-aid kit. We ultimately got them a trampoline, which was extensively used.
