It all becomes normal after a while but I still stress about the things that could take it away. Treefalls during big storms and fire hazards and places where people might trip and gutter overflows and was that a carpenter ant and and and.

A now, ten years later, we're doing some minor remodeling and a lot of those money stresses and fears of the unknown are coming back.

I kind of miss the magazine that only gets read in the bathroom.

The tiny morsel at the end was enough for me to formally request a Scotty / Pelia spin-off mini-series. Please and thank you.

My state just made self-serve gas a thing so I got an electric. If I'm going to have to fuel up my own car, I'll do it in my carport.

I think it's Nomad fused into a lamp.

I use my post/comment history (and saves) as a way to know what threads to go check in on later. And I get a kick out of seeing a lot of upvotes and dislike seeing anything in negative territory. But I don't have votes in mind when I post.

The best thing you can do is give your players something to worry about other than the enemies. The room is filling with gas and players have to disable vents. Or artifacts in the room grant the enemies bonus or legendary actions, so the players have to destroy them or move them out of range. Or it's in pocket dimension and they have to complete a fetch quest through the enemies before the air runs out.

Is she fast asleep or rocking out with the band?

No no, this is still out of context. He said "Slurpee." He's reminding everyone that free slurpee day is coming.

 

Thanks to Costco fueled bulk buying, between the last time I bought deodorant and this week, my deodorant changed from the Scent of Adventure to the Scent of Cypress.

So is Cypress the sum total of adventure or an overdue respite?

I don't know why my brain connected Trump's "a concept of a plan" and his obsession with Hannibal (Lecter, but I went with Smith), but here you go.

 

I used to think Bob was right, "a lot of numbers are divisible by 3" and so its a bad mnemonic. But, on the other hand, I have an easier time remembering the Belcher's anniversary than my own.

 

Surprisingly good quality for something from 80's cable TV.

In 2024 the first thing that struck me was that I can barely remember the last time I cared about what was in the mailbox.

A very early performance from TMBG, back when Letterman was still on NBC. February 1989 performing They'll Need a Crane

I love their old TV performances. Especially the Conan appearances. If there's an audience for it I'll post the best (video/audio) quality ones I can find, from time to time.

 

I'm pretty sure this is a new sentence for me: I'm glad I haven't been to the zoo in a few years.

LED screens designed to show the current Powerball Jackpot were affected in seemingly random locations, including billboards in Coos Bay, Albany and Portland between Aug. 12 and 14. Roughly four of the affected billboards were in the Portland area.

One of the affected billboards was recorded by Reddit user “HanginWithMrPooper” near the intersection of 68th Ave. and Halsey Street in Northeast Portland.

 

Stratasys is claiming infringements on patents it owns (included ones acquired from Makerbot) on things like purge towers, heated beds, and force detection. Many of them things common to most FFF/FDM 3D printers.

Its an interesting coincidence that this lawsuit against one printer maker is happening on the same day as a new product announcement (the Prusa MK4s) from another major printer maker.

In two complaints, filed in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, against six entities related to Bambu Lab, Stratasys alleges that Bambu Lab infringed upon 10 patents that it owns, some through subsidiaries like Makerbot (acquired in 2013). Among the patents cited are US9421713B2, "Additive manufacturing method for printing three-dimensional parts with purge towers," and US9592660B2, "Heated build platform and system for three-dimensional printing methods."

There are not many, if any, 3D printers sold to consumers that do not have a heated bed, which prevents the first layers of a model from cooling during printing and potentially shrinking and warping the model. "Purge towers" (or "prime towers" in Bambu's parlance) allow for multicolor printing by providing a place for the filament remaining in a nozzle to be extracted and prevent bleed-over between colors.

 

The SLAPP seems to working as intended.

An advertising industry initiative targeted by an Elon Musk lawsuit is "discontinuing" its activities and has deleted the member list from its website.

Stephan Loerke, the CEO of the WFA, wrote in an email to members, seen by Business Insider, that the decision was "not made lightly" but that GARM is a not-for-profit organization with limited resources.

Today, the House Judiciary GOP's official account on X called GARM being discontinued a "big win for the First Amendment" and a "big win for oversight." X CEO Linda Yaccarino also applauded the news.

 

Originally set to return in mid-June, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams may be on the station until February, 2025.

During a press conference today, NASA representatives confirmed they have a contingency plan to bring astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams home from the International Space Station (ISS) early next year. If they’re unable to leave sooner aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that brought them there

Tests conducted at NASA’s White Sands Test Facility pointed to deformed Teflon seals being a potential cause of the Starliner’s thrusters failing, but the agency isn’t expected to make a final decision on whether or not Williams and Wilmore will return using Boeing’s spacecraft until mid-August.

 

I used the phrase "the unusual one" this morning, and half way through I started to hear it in Jen's voice.

What are some other favorite Jen moments?
