Never let a working man slander the name of my father.

He was the union man.

Surface looks damp, leaves and pine needles tend to stick a lot.

However, by the time you are done blowing, the surface will be bone dry and nobody will slip!

Same. I found a funnel that fits perfectly in a plastic cup keep a couple rags in, and the cup is tied to my small can.

Got tired of spilling gas on my fingers.

I might need to make myself a little pump, since I already have everything I need and a 3d printer…

I want a two-part episode of Picard and Janeway with them co-captaining with a brand new crew and a mixture of series senior officers.

And at some point Picard tries to promote Kim, only for janeway to panic and try to stop Two Pip Kim from happening.

My wife started out with tons of republican views, she just didn’t vote ever.

Through conversations about the state of things, pointing* out hypocrisy, and validating the feelings her religious family was telling her to suppress, I’m happy to say I’ve managed to marry a leftist. She didn’t even really have the liberal pit-stop many of us take.

I’ll take 100,000 leftists married/dating/whatever to 100,000 liberals over 200,000 conservatives any day of the week.

My grandfather passed a few years ago, and now that the house is up for sale we cleaned the last bits out.

I managed to grab a bunch of stuff that maybe Someday™ I’ll use. Mostly bits of metal I’ll possibly melt down or use for electroplating, a bunch of old steel tools that are in different states of disrepair, and assorted lengths of wire.

I know I will likely die before I find use for it all, but it seems wasteful to chuck it in the garbage, and I’d rather someone find use for it as is than take it to the scrapyard.

things that you can just take when no one is looking.

That applies to a great many things, and places!

It’s curtains for me.

I guess I’d better frame my next comment differently!

I meant widow, sorry for not being clear.

Most people I know didn’t even know Kirk was married until his assassination planner window* started making the news screeching about how much of a saint he was.

*widow

And what country are you from where racism is not an issue?

No really, where, because a non-racist place to live sounds fantastic, especially nowadays.

Honestly I just want to see the first two in imax since I missed the opportunity when they had their original runs.

A theater about an hour away had a special showing of part 1 running with the first week of part 2’s debut. So you could go see part 1 and go to the next hall to see part 2 immediately after. I’m hoping they do something similar so I can watch all 3 in a couple weekends, but I’m not holding my breath.

Useless knowledge: a black hole can technically exist inside a super-massive star.

The gravity of the black hole pulls in hydrogen, the force of the hydrogen fusion and Hawking radiation pressure from the black hole try to push the hydrogen/star stuff out.

For awhile at least, with enough supply of hydrogen (that likely doesn’t exist in a large concentrated enough supply), it can hold itself in balance as the biggest star you’ve never seen.

Note: take this with a grain of salt, this is my understanding of a kurzgesagt video I watched while high.

It’s an accurate snapshot of the American executive branch right now

Don’t sell us short, it’s also an accurate snapshot of the legislative and judicial branches, as well as about 30% of the general population!

“well we can’t have this hardcore murderer doing too much violence and murder, or we might lose the young families, so let’s tone down the murderviolence in this murderviolence-fraught franchise.” -Some executive who doesn’t realize they never had those families in the first place but now they’ve lost a lot of the fans

I’m not a fan of nukes.

I say we get about 1,000 people, some bulldozers, and then squish everything into one big pile in the middle. That should be enough, but we can always run over it a few times with a steamroller for good measure.

Call it “Mt. Capitalism” or maybe “Mt. Inheritance” and leave it as a warning.

And as usual, scientific journals have made me feel dumb again.

“I know some of these words!”

I get the gist but damn if journals don’t remind me I’m not as smart as I think I am…

Because it’s a lot easier to discredit a religious argument when the sermon cites “4th Thessalossians 67:B” and gives the most generic sounding paragraph with the one weirdly specific phrase they instructed the bot to include and em—dash thrown in for good measure.

At least if they all use the same manual, it’s easier to pull over the ones who are on the fence.

I don’t have a perfect memory but I do have a good one, and I can confirm that the pastor at my parents church when I was growing up re-used sermons from multiple years prior.

So at least some recycle. As expected, they are still just as (ir)relevant.

Personally I like to interpret it as
