Perhaps that was it; it's been a long time since I looked for the picture and I just posted it here on a whim, so I can't guarantee I never searched for it that way.

Thank you to both you and the OC for following up.

Weird, I've done that a bunch of times with no results. Genuinely, thank you for finding it.

Amazing! Were you already familiar with it? If not, how did you find it?

Thank you very much.

Thank you for trying!

 

Either it was a local thing (I originally got the picture at Good Will) or my search skills are lacking. My wife loved it so I wish I could get her a reproduction.

When I was a kid, I met another kid who had this happen to them. Ever since he described it to me, I've been very sensitive about mine.

Supposedly, according to my now adult friends, I've missed out on some pleasant experiences as a result. Doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

That's a sad reason to be glad.

I'm willing to let you both live!

When I was looking to buy my first house, I looked at one house where the kitchen island was a giant radiator with a countertop.

That was kinda cool.

edit: Metaphorically.

I wonder what would have happened if Terry Pratchett teamed up with Douglas Adams like he did with Neil Gaiman (someone whose work I enjoyed before recent revelations).

I didn't know that, in this context, "Woz" was short for "Wozniak." Hopefully he's enjoying that Apple legacy!

As demonstrated in the documentary The New Guy.

You have, I'm sure unintentionally, reminded me of an old peer-to-peer sharing client.

Earlier today, I basically passed out. (I've had guests for most of the past week and have had very inadequate sleep.) Before I fell asleep, I texted a friend about a YouTube video that might interest them (Legal Eagle suing Honey). Then I fell asleep.

While I was sleeping, the friend responded with their insights about the case. I have no memory of it, but apparently the attached picture is how I responded to their comments on a video about a legal case. For some reason, that friend did not respond.

edit: Just refining the wording.

 

Like the title says, I accidentally blocked someone. I tapped the three dots under someone's post and then accidentally tapped again as "block user" fell under my thumb. This user doesn't seem like someone I want to block, so I would like to unblock them. I found the "blocklist" under my profile, which says it lists blocked instances, communities and users; but (while I haven't blocked any instances), I only see communities. That said, it's not allowing me to scroll through the blocked list, so possibly the blocked user is lower in the list. If I navigate to the user in question, I see how to block them again, but no option to unblock them.

How do I find a blocked user and how do I unblock them? Thanks in advance.

 

I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.

I've loved this song since I heard it on American Dad! It took me an embarrassing number of views to realize that the older and younger couple are supposed to be the same people, though. (Knowing Portuguese might have helped.)

This song is very relatable.

 

I don't know why she cares. She's chill about everything else. She's never met a raccoon. She's never met any wild animal other than a praying mantis. Still, when my TV wasn't wall mounted, we had to make sure not to put on anything raccoon related or she'd try to jump into the TV, Super Mario style.

Before last night I didn't even know my sister still painted. It's great that she does.

Nothing in my life has prepared me to answer that question, let alone to a 5-year-old.

They had an idea and they went with it.
