This building was a fire station, and bunker gear is the protective clothing that firefighters wear. I guess they didn’t want you bringing dirty/smoky clothes into the break room

Ah, that makes a lot of sense.

Unfortunately I live closer to the central part of the state, so if things are concentrated near Seattle then it would be a bit too far away

Washington state.

I’m an atheist / agnostic, but I miss the community of church and something about honoring the earth and the seasons FEELS sacred.

I can respect that.

On an unrelated note, anyone know where I can find one of these pagan potlucks? Asking for a friend.

The concept of having interchangeable, standardized parts is actually kind of a new idea from the Industrial Revolution. Before then, everything was custom-made to fit. The example that comes to mind is firearms. All of the muskets and rifles used in the revolutionary war, for example, were hand-made and hand-fitted. The lock from one rifle wouldn’t necessarily fit on another. If your stock broke, you couldn’t just go get a new stock and slap it on - you had to bust out the woodworking tools and make a new one.

Is there a Redwall community? I’m tempted to make one but I have no idea how

Are you saying that if I picked up a copy of that differential equations book I might actually learn wtf is going on? Because I only passed that class with the help of wolfram alpha and never looked back

You’ve enlightened me. I love dragonflies too now.

Some kids at my high school tried that on their phones, but it never worked because all the other kids in the room would cuss them out for basically inflicting the entire room with mosquito-in-ear noises.

I don’t know where this meme format came from but I love it

I watch long videos on my TV (45 min - 1 hr) and YouTube has the audacity to shove minute+ long ad reels in my face every 15 minuets, claiming “fewer ads for this long video.” Bullshit. I have learned however that if you go to give feedback on the ad and flag it as inappropriate, it skips all the ads in that reel and sends you right back to the video! I can get past unskippable ads in a few seconds this way.
