Don’t you mean Annie Mail?
Mine are the remnants of a vacuum cleaner power cord. There’s a lot of copper there, and a lot of rubber between them.
Twice that I recall, both while at least mildly ill. Once, in law school, I was late to class and had an assigned seat in the middle of a row, so I was not keen to draw further attention to myself, but I had a rumbly tummy and the bowel wants what it wants. Eventually, despite what felt to me like truly heroic efforts, I did in fact excuse myself, only to find that floor’s bathroom was closed. going down a flight of stairs does things to your regular clenching pressure, and by the time I made it to the toilet, “slug of poo” had made its way into my boxers. Damage to the undies was surprisingly mild, but I went ahead and called it a day for the rest of my classes, as I had skipped many times for far less legitimate reasons.
The other time I was just home with the shits and didn’t quite make it once. Afterwards I moved my “I’m sick” nest a lot closer to the bathroom for the rest of the day.
Any tips on the offending glasses? I live in the path of totality, and I don’t want to blind my kid.
Because I can? LOL.
I do try to make to make boards with layouts that are slightly unique from anything I could buy, just to lie to myself and pretend that I “have to” make them. Latest kick, which simplifies construction in a couple of ways, is making boards that have no key wider than 1.75 “regular” ones. Means I have more real estate to play with and don’t need the notoriously noisy “stabilizer” hardware.
The kind of soldering you do with a handwire is also sort of relaxing, like tying fishing flies, except you burn your finger every once in a while.
Yes, that’s probably about perfect. There are a few human deaths, occasionally with a fair amount of blood, though it’s fairly stylized, and part of the lore involves the banal commonness of resurrection spells, so I doubt it would be too traumatizing for a teen. The rest of the gore is non-humans and often almost more like a particularly unflinching cooking show.
There’s only a little bit of “nudity,” and it’s thoroughly PG-13. Then the character interactions and themes are pretty gentle overall, though I guess there’s some realpolitik trouble brewing with some of the supporting characters.
Well put, and you have a well-chosen user name. :-)
Yes, it was in that exact sweet spot where it was good enough and popular enough that it got to tell its story, but not of such broad appeal that they got pressured to keep it going. I’m sure the theology and philsophy don’t hold up, but it was funny and smart and heartfelt and I loved the entire run.
ESPECIALLY being from Jacksonville. :-)
Delicious in Dungeon. It’s delightfully bonkers in a way that works for me as a very occasional anime viewer, and for all of the gore (actually middling to low for the genre, I guess), it’s damn near kid-friendly in its wholesomeness level.
On a brief break for the moment, but in the last year I’ve made 7 hand-wired computer keyboards.
Not really. I would be curious if other people immersed in SI only have similar issues to yours. Minutes and hours are based off of multiples of 12, and with feet and inches that’s already one we deal with regularly.
There’s also the very nerdy Shakespeare version of the same sentiment: “when troubles come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.”
In English, over time, “I could care less” has come to have the exact same meaning as “I couldn’t care less.”
Some people get wrapped around an axle (i.e. irrationally angry) about it, but i just mentally fill in some context myself: “I could care less… i suppose… if i really tried… but that’s not going to happen.”
There’s no governing body for English. If you communicate the meaning and social cues that you intended, then it’s “right.” Of course, communicating social cues is sometimes where you can get in trouble using newer linguistic constructions.

Why yes, I was an English major…
So it’s expensive, wears quickly, has QA issues, and they slow play warranty claims? Glad you ended up with a chair you like, but this is not inspiring confidence. :-)
I have a leap v1 I got about 5 or 6 years ago that was reupholstered by a local used office furniture place. I keep using cheap cylinders, so I’ve changed that out a couple of times, and I changed out the original armests about two years ago (bought from Crandall for that). All in, including the original purchase, I’m at maybe $350 over the entire time I’ve owned it, and the structural parts and new upholstery are holding up perfectly. The tag on the bottom says it is 22 years old.
The other side of my home office has a HM Mirra v1 I got for free when they shut down my employer’s local office, and my wife uses a Steelcase Gesture in the “study,” which is to say the nice home office that doesn’t have two 3D printers, a soldering station, half a dozen keyboards, a dog crate, and an elderly cockatiel. My 10yo uses a godawful “gaming chair,” but it’s pink and she’s ten, so ergonomics are barely a blip on her radar. She has a standing offer to take the Mirra.
I like Memmy well enough when I’m determined to use an app. Still holding out hope that a kbin one materializes.
Doom scrolling works fine, and discoverability is okayish. The search function mostly seems to bring up communities, so that’s kind of what you’d need.
That’s pretty cool, TBH. Not sure the GIJOE USS Flagg model was quite that seaworthy, LOL.
I can’t really imagine the appeal unless it was a standalone device. The tactility and self-contained nature is the only thing that would make it feel like something “real enough” to bother with.
Nah. a 2.5 meter aircraft carrier is not really any more practical today than it was in 1986.
Costco used to (still does?) sell these tubs of chocolate covered caramel macadamia nut clusters. Literally food of the diabetic gods. I had to stop buying them because they were expensive AF and disappeared way too quickly.
