Just got home from 8 hours of slinging rock, mulch and dirt, absolutely wasted. Yeah, that got a solid chuckle.

You’re probably thinking of apostasy. You can be any religion, but if you’re Islamic and renounce it, capital offense.

I was noticing him slowly dial back the makeup and fake colored hair late in his last admin. Somehow… the makeup returned. (with a vengeance)

For large loop needles?

Here’s the real sauce: Hold the thread still and bring the needle to it. Most people who struggle are trying to poke the thread through the needle.

Forgot all that! Had though Harding was the one who knee-capped her, and it wasn’t even the knee.

Ha! We’re smarter than those idiot conservatives who believe anything they see online!"

F12 people, F12.

It’s always the lingering part. What was that one that fucked Houston not long ago? Sat on top of them forever. Hurricane Ivan was like that down here. Only a CAT-3 at landfall, but I listened to that freight train sound for over 10 fucking hours.

Installed one for my wife when she moved it, never used it. At this point I’ve forgotten it’s even there. Talk about old habits dying hard.

My wife blots with a bit of TP and tosses it in the trash can. Guessing plumbing is more sensitive where she’s from.

Hit F12 and rewrite the text. Much of the bullshit memes we see are done like that.

Well, one would expect mountainous areas to flood because elevation focuses water flow. I’m in Florida, flattest state in the union. We never flood except in hurricanes, and those floods don’t last like they do in other places, in and out.

Making bee hotels for solitary bees is child’s play. Take a chunk of wood, drill holes, hang in a tree.

Technical aspects:

• Don’t use pressure treated lumber, anything else is fine.
• Look up “solitary bee hotel” for your area to see what size holes to make for the locals. In any case, it’s going to be a variety of different sizes to cover all your bases. Doesn’t have to bee (heh) perfect.
• Make the holes, especially the edges, nice and smooth. They’re not dumb enough to nest their if the hole is raggedy and might jack up their wings.

That’s mostly it. You can research easily enough in an hour or less There’s a woman on YouTube that sells bee hotels and has solid advice for making your own. Wish I remembered her name. Anyone?

Damned satisfying when you find the holes plugged with wax! You have new tenants! Stupid easy and basically free.

CAVEAT: These things are single use. Chunk 'em out every season, or better, burn them. Keeps the mites out. Make another for free.

So wish I still had my VIC-20 and 64.

I counted my parents collection. Uh, am I cheating?

Now this is a unique post! Can’t imagine any 20-somethings scoring zero. Go go retro bro!

The fire rises brother! (OK, not an appropriate quote, just wanted to say it.)

All that and never had a ghetto blaster?! Hah, that’s a weird experience.

I counted my parents owning Encyclopedia Britannica. 54 here.

Walkman was the only game in town as I remember. Where there generic versions? Think maybe I had a shitty one, but Walkman was the gold standard.

And so were the headphones! First in-ear audio that actually rocked out. Again, not sure there was much of anything else, but Iron Maiden thumped in those things. Now I want another pair.

It’s in a protective bag, must be a vintage-for-sale thing. Original price was $1.95, $8.53 today.
