Calling it now that “bad AI code on production” will be the new “it’s always DNS” for why stuff breaks.

Just waiting for someone to blame their little brother or the intern on one, and then my collection is complete.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

This whole thread is incredible, but this jumps out.

Incredible. Incredible.

The whole rig is a heating pad with a temp controller that the ungrateful cat never used, a capped bottle of Kirkland water with a hole in the bottom, and a grow lamp bulb bought on clearance.

(Yes, I printed the tray. But I could easily replicate it with a sheetpan and leftover pots.)

Sew. Sew some seeds.

I also need to see seeds. I love to see them. What can I say.

The lamp will get turned on when I see growth.

Probably also gonna dig out a fan to point at them.

Here’s what’s currently in pots. I’m also gonna do the greenhouse milk jug thing again with my cukes.

A self watering seed tray with a green lid and multiple pots in different colors. A lamp is pointed at the seeds. They’re sitting on a gray heating pad set to 90F

I started seeds and I ordered seeds and also I need to see some seeds because peas were a hit last year and we didn’t plant nearly enough.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

GDPR was a mess that gave me anxiety-induced heart palpitations but it also flipped the “wait, we should have these protections too” switch in my head.

Texted back and forth about 3D prints and home automation and local privacy with my brother, proving that it is at least partly hereditary.

S2E9: CLOSE ENOUGH

A pan of chicken in a sauce of soy and vinegar, with whole garlic, black pepper, and bay leaves. It’s chicken adobo!

Time for one of my favorite dinners.

Anyway, not the flu, not a heart attack, just a very run down body protesting back to back cookie booths on a cold day in front of a noisy Walmart.

Sometimes my migraines feel like I have the flu and then I spend an unhealthy amount of time before the triptans kick in wondering if I’m dying.

My window to do the cool cutting edge games was in my 20s. Unfortunately, they all got tanked and I never got the payout. 😂

That JSON is gonna break without a colon and some quotes around GARDEN.

Fine. I’ll ❤️ it. BUT I WON’T BE HAPPY.

Sack retired in 2022 due to carpal tunnel. To come out of retirement to draw anti-ICE, pro-Minnesota cartoons, he learned to draw with his left hand.

PENSIONS. I just realized he mentioned PENSIONS. Babe, we ain’t had those since fuckin’ REAGAN.

(I know military and govt jobs still offer them but GOOD LUCK finding a private sector that does.)

Goddammit Damion I am trying not to rage today I have a migraine.

Also incredible that he used video from a movie that acknowledges Oppenheimer was a philanderer and a questionable father on account of never being there for his kids.

I remember coming home from elementary school, walking through the garage, and opening the back door with my key. I was probably 7 or 8, and mom had a job because of the divorce. “Childcare”, when it happened, was my grandparents.

It was definitely early 80s.

holy shit

I could explain to you how psychologically some people need ~reciprocation~ to justify donations, I could quiz you as to why you think buying a product from a purely for-profit corporation is somehow superior to donating to a non-profit, but I’m just too tired, man.

Cookie momming means hearing all sorts of excuses for why you don’t want cookies, and honestly I don’t care. “No thank you” is fine, really. You don’t need to buy my kid a box of ice cream treats in some weird attempt to convince her selling cookies is wrong.

Meanwhile in Roblox and other so-called “kid appropriate” games the SAME KIDS are getting games that ask them “r u gay????” and I guarantee that’s a lower quality interaction than whatever Docter was trying to avoid here.

Strange World has an openly gay protagonist with a boy he’s crushing on and I promise you my kids didn’t blink over it because we’re not fucking reprobates.

We are almost done with Peacemaker S2 and were watching the credits and he was like “Eagly has a VOICE ACTOR???”

now that he knows this, I said, it’s like the Wilhelm Scream. You will never stop noticing DBB in the credits of your shows.

Making my husband aware that Dee Bradley Baker is responsible for 90% of the animal voices in movie/tv, except when it’s Frank Welker, has been the highlight of my evening.

(Also sometimes Alan Tudyk, but only a very small sometimes.)
