They all gasped and freaked out because they thought I was hurt, but then I popped right back up and they all laughed, for what it’s worth.

I used to live in a brick rowhouse, and the arched transom started to crack. I thought I’d diy repoint it myself, only to find out that a previous contractor had “fixed” it by jamming cardboard in the cracks and filled it in with caulk. Totally legit.

It was probably only 5 or 6 feet to the ground. I was very, very lucky to walk away unscathed.

I once went to a friend’s party in college, who’s house I had never been to before. Everyone was just chilling in the hot tub and asked me to get in. It was pitch black at night, and there was only one open spot in the tub. I went to walk around the deck, but apparently the hot tub was on the edge of the deck. I took a confident stride towards the open spot, where the deck apparently ended, did a complete front flip into the lawn and landed on my feet. Completely unscathed.

I could have landed on my neck and been paralyzed, but but some sheer luck, it all worked out.

Can everyone please stop linking to Linus? He’s a YouTube huckster.

No, but I never miss a chance to punch down at Florida.

Thanks! I use Excalidraw occasionally, but only in light mode. Derp.

Why is Florida still there?

OT: What program are these diagrams made with? I’ve seen them floating around recently and really like the looks of them.

I’m 44 and still have one student loan left. Wife and 2 kids, and yet.

There are services like Rover that can come check on your pet and take them for a walk. It’s fairly affordable in my experience. And as for when to say goodbye? If your pup is in pain or isn’t enjoying life, look into a service like Peaceful Passage. They come to you and although it’s great wrenching to say goodbye, they do a great job.

We went through this with our elderly pup during the height of COVID. Best of luck in whatever choice you make.

The technical term is AI slop.

We should send Elon down to double check on the Titan.

He has concepts of religion.

I was in a punk rock band in high school that had a song called “Fuck Republicans” and it couldn’t be truer today.

I know our response to COVID was awful, but people don’t realize how many people AIDS killed while the government sat on their thumbs. It was millions, plural.

Shitty billionaire has a shitty take. Shocker.

Just gonna drop this here. https://youtu.be/TY0eUQ06Q2g?si=tvLv3TQlrXVwBGI3

I love hard sci-fi/fantasy and Pacific Drive checks so many boxes for me, but between the tedious controls, and the only reward for advancing in the game is more tedium, I just couldn’t go on. Why can’t you save in the zone?? The further you get on the map, the longer each run gets. I have kids and can’t spend 3 hours at a time without being able to save in a game. It bugged me so much that I submitted a constructively worded support ticket.

It looks like they just released a big update to address some of these quality of life issues, so I’ll give it another chance, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
