My cats are 14 and one of the little assholes JUST learned how to do this. Sigh.

I’d be fine. If my email provider goes away, my troubles are over, because my email provider is me!

Apparently I am a Tumbleweed user in Fedora clothing.

M’lady.

As a great philosopher once said, “Nobody gets out of life alive.”

That’s some delicious existential horror right there!

I’ll be in my bunk.

I feel you. We have to come to terms with the fact that we are the minority in this country and that most of our fellow citizens value their own self interest more than the promise of a better system for all Americans.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow. You’re going to resent your fellow Americans. I know I do.

The fact is all we can do now is try to survive and protect those we care about. I think spending energy on contesting the results is a waste of time. If they cheated on a scale that gave them millions of extra votes somebody would have found evidence by now. Truth is we lost. And enough Americans are ok with a convict rapist pedophile narcissistic serial liar being in charge of the worlds most powerful military that we actually are powerless. So that energy should instead be spent on anything we can do to protect those the administration is going to target. Keep your head down. But don’t give up.

Do you by chance live near a pet graveyard built on Native American burial grounds?

I’m currently attempting to peer review those results.

Wool is fantastic for cold weather activity because unlike cotton it still insulates when wet.

I still wouldn’t want to RUN in wool, but it makes up some indispensable parts of my ski kit. And it has been tested!

I call it my ‘Make a Wish’ Day.

you had to pretend you were dying of cancer

I don’t think he did. Just a joke.

You can get a thin smartwool or polypro base layer from a ski shop for like $50, even cheaper on sale but it’s the wrong time of year for that. That’s probably all you would need unless you’re planning on running in a blizzard.

When I was in the military a bazillion years ago, our winter running uniform was a beanie to add to our t-shirt and shorts. That was it. If it was SUPER cold (like, below freezing) we’d get to wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Then we’d go run 4 miles in the dark. If you got too cold you just had to run faster. :)

2023? These came out in the mid 70’s.

That would be around $18k in todays dollars.

Nobody cares

What’s brown and sticky? A stick.

What do you call a fish with no eyes? “Fsssssh” (only works if you say it out loud, and they know how to spell)

That’s how it was in my last house, washer was on the right… That’s how they had the hookups. Built in 2006.

I think you meant VHS won out. Betamax was also a video cassette format.

And yes, porn had a lot to do with why VHS won!

Usually not very long but one time there were THREE cars in front of me at the drive through ballot drop box. That was a good 20 to 30 seconds of my life I’ll never get back. Bunch of slackers waiting til the last day!

Yesterday I went to vote in person for the first time in a really long time, because I moved to a different county and didn’t re-register soon enough to get a mail-in ballot. It was super smooth, didn’t wait longer than a minute or two while they did their admin stuff and then I was voting.

Colorado, USA.

As someone who volunteered in an animal shelter I can sadly say that is not the case, more frequently than it should be.

Is it possible he has a growing brain tumor, without the required substrate?
