If we want to truly honor the 18th century craftsmen we wouldn't use L brackets at all. Maybe some nice wedged through-tenons and dovetails and stuff. I guess it depends on the aesthetic. Like are we going for historic, or can we 3d-print the little decorative swirly bits?

You paid for something and never got it. Initiate chargeback with your bank. Amazon may close your account for this, but fuck them.

The Naked Lunch. I was probably 10 years old? I didn't understand any of the plot, I was weirded the fuck out and the giant bugs made me sick to my stomach.

Yeah, it's impossible to develop a greenfield site without scraping everything off. You have to create and get approval on water runoff management plan for any new development. That means grading everything and often these days it also means managing and impounding water on-site without dumping it all into the (overloaded) storm drain system. When there's no grass you have to install silt fences to keep silt out of nearby streams while building. You can't get final approval, and remove the silt fence, until there is some kind of ground cover and that basically means grass since it grows fast and is easy to apply. Even if you somehow left the trees there's no way they'd survive the process.

Fuck McMansion developers, and fuck lawns, don't get me wrong. But it's a reflection of an entire system of land-use policy and not just stupidity, or whatever.

Their high falsetto voices are like salty broken glass in my eyes. I've never been able to watch more than 10 seconds of a "vtuber".

It's from this clip. Like ByteOnBikes mentioned, this is burned into everyone's brain who watched this show I think.

The collection sounds like "The Dark Descent" but I'm not familiar with the waif story.

In the USA our wildest dreams are maybe having a sort of crappy version of the technology we already had up and running in the 1890s.

It'd be amazing if they all shared the same cell. Gates and Clinton slap the shit out of Trump because he snores too loud and won't sleep on his stomach. Trump and Gates thump Clinton because he's afraid of the shower block and won't wash his ass. Trump yells at Gates so much about his eye-watering gas that he farts in the toilet out of fear. They deserve nothing less than each other.
