Mmm I need to replace my rotted out front porch that is sagging and causing my front door to go out of square but it’s also not supposed to be part of the building at all technically…? I mean most of the additions to my house were never filed.… let’s just pretend that didn’t happen. And the rest of the omfg problem projects didn’t happen either…. The whole owning thing sucks.

Yeah, nah.

If that’s just what it is I’ll keep it as an entry in my server but I’m not gunna watch it myself.

Thanks for the info :)

So I know this is smiling friends but like I’ve tried watching that and hated it. One episode probably?

Does it get better? It’s awful popular…

Haha wasn’t anything personal, or meant to make you feel any sort of way, just an old-school problem with modern tech exacerbation.

My house is 140 years old and modern advice doesn’t apply to most of it unfortunately. Every project ends up being a dozen more projects because nothing from then applies to now.

But I’ve learned. So if I choose to lathe and plaster my next house, well I can fix it, too, damnit.

Thank you, genuinely, for that resource. I love you passionately for it.

Thanks!

Despite being just south of Canada, I’ve never seen that stuff afaik. Then again it says dry areas and I’m in the wettest; Great Lakes region.

😭 I have two of those actively pulling out of my lathe and plaster walls. I don’t know how to fix it other than just take down the shelves, fully patch it, and never use that part of the wall again.

I should have gone with the plastic ones that reach out behind the thin plaster to grip on, because failure wouldn’t have destroyed the wall, but my dumb ass listened to the dude who told me the metal screw-in setbolt option was the superior option.

Bullshit.

Bezos can’t cut his own hair. He can’t see that far up his own ass even with all the mirrors in the world.

He probably spends more to be bald than it would cost to get all new hair.

What’s the red stuff? It doesn’t really look like wild sumac, and I feel it’s a bit early for that anyway but I might be wrong.:

which at the time was a bit of a “fuck you” to folk whose phones didn’t like them one bit and presented them as individual messages in their inbox.

Ha I had problems with the multi-message thing even a few years ago, sending messages from android to iOS. I tend to send very verbose messages, and the delay between them, as well as having it come through as text, made them a jumbled mess.

For a while I was putting numbers before every sentence if I thought the message was too long to be one message.

So glad that doesn’t happen anymore, tho we solved it by swapping to signal, I’m not sure the problem itself ever resolved.

There’s a place near me that I don’t go to very often, and almost never if I’m alone. They have great food and it’s pretty cheap, but they don’t have WiFi.

That normally wouldn’t be a problem, because I rarely use any of my cell data, but it’s a super old building full of interference and I can only get cell signal if I happen to get one of the 3 seats within 10 foot of the front windows.

If I do go by myself, I get weird looks for bringing comic books or video games and just existing by myself, but there’s nothing else to do while waiting for food so…

So you are telling me I should have stayed up until 6:05AM, rather than going to bed when I physically couldn’t handle doomscrolling anymore at 6:04?

Why wasn’t there anything good in the prior 12-24 hrs? What kind of casino is this, to not give me even a teeny tiny dopamine hit to keep me coming back?

They don’t care.

Project 2025 says the ideal US population number is around 100 million. That means we need to shed about 250 million people.

This is all according to plan.

I do the same thing. I’m also perfectly comfortable saying I was wrong if I was, and most people aren’t. I assume you are the same.

No one person can know everything. But learning and updating the information that shapes my picture of reality is something enjoyable. I’d like it to be as accurate as possible. It blows my mind that many other people aren’t like that at all. No intellectual curiosity whatever.

Though I do prefer more even-keeled discussion over combative tone. It’s just unnecessary and produces bad feels.

This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?

Guess I’ll have to give that a rewatch, thanks!

What is this from?

We’ll smuggle you out.

I feel like any major restructure like that would require some sort of open border policy, even if temporary, simply because people have never had any reason to not move…? And if we Balkanize with closed borders from go, well that’s for sure going to cause conflict.

Axe the lotl of them.

How else do you get good bbq but with fire?

Just like the constitution!

Fuck.
