My garage at my apartment has only one door (the motorized garage door). There is a key-release on the door, however, I do not have the key, and despite repeatedly asking for it, the landlord claims to not have one. If the power's out, I can't open the garage door. Wisconsin, any advice?

I thought that businesses should be able to refuse service to anyone they want? For any reason they want?

Plot twist: the parrot knows damn well what it's doing, and did it anyways because it thinks breaking things is funny. As parrots do.

Fuck, I didn't realize I was dead!

@scarletdetector.bsky.social Ah, here you are! Yay redtails! I remember watching your friend YellowTailHawk back on the old site that shall not be named, loved their photos. Is there any chance they have moved here? I was never able to find them...

Harpy New Year!

I'm leaving until next year. You better not get up to any trouble before I get back! Unless that trouble involves turning me into my fursona, in which case, what are you waiting for?

@pheagleadler.bsky.social Where's my money?

reason.com/2025/12/26/j... A public servant doing their job in public has no expectation of privacy. And in the famous words of Bush administration, "If you're not doing something wrong, why do you need privacy?"

My ISP is offering me a 5-year price guarantee at 300Mbps for $5 more per month than my current plan of 500Mbps. While the current plan is only good for one year, I have no guarantee of being here in 5 years. And I'm not paying more per month for lower speeds.

Oh no.

I'm looking for a empty frame for an RPG battle. Preference towards Final Fantasy 1, Dragon Quest 3, or Gen 1 Pokemon. Want to make an updated version of this: www.furaffinity.net/view/26857585/

New blog post on Dark Theming and general accessibility.

This is so accurate to my experience it hurts.

New blog post, about my own commitment to be better and improve myself, and being there for my friends.

This is the first Loving Reaper comic I ever saw, years ago. Today I was reminded the series existed and was crying after five strips. Five. Jenny Jinya does amazing work with the comic, but DO NOT BINGE IT. Take it slow. It's important things that need to be said but be careful.

"Weird" is often used as an insult by the majority, a blunt cudgel used to keep people from expressing themselves in ways the majority finds uncomfortable. But given the rot inherent in our society, maybe 'normal' isn't something to aspire to. Be weird. Express yourself. YOLO.

Warning for Protogens: THIS IS A TRAP! There is no RAM here. They'll abduct you, strip you for parts, and turn you into an LLM!

New blog post about writing projects! www.hawkandawe.com/2025/12/14/t...

So a few days ago, I posted this in a furry server, and @jakkal.bsky.social said it was unrealistic because nobody would be happen about becoming a bird. I believe this claim should be tested empirically, but that might be hard, so sound off if you'd be OK with becoming a bird!

So my smartphone has only 4GB of RAM. Its obviously slowing down but as its in good shape and paid off, I want to keep it. Anyone have thoughts aside a reset? Like a resource manager app for Android to see what's eating RAM?

Nailed it!

Going to be taking a break from social media for a bit. I'll still post art and blog updates and respond to DMs, but I need to break the doomscrolling for a bit. I know this is a luxury many don't have right now and that's been stopping me for some time, but I need to recharge.

Man, they had the convo in the Situation Room? Amateur hour. Everyone knows the safest place to have conversations about things that may be extremely dangerous if they were to be publicized is in the bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

I admit I never expected to use the word "scumslip" in the context of US politics, but I'm not sure any other term applies here. “Anything that goes before POTUS needs to be vetted,” the person there for Pulte’s poster presentation told Politico." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I wish that we had the radical leftists of Donald Tump's dementia-addled brain, as opposed to the spineless "Republican Lite" that we get from Dems in office. Nobody who needs to see this will, but the GOP views promises and such, as weaknesses. All that matters to them is power. Deals aren't it

I have finished my first draft of my "System Shock 2 Impossible achievement" guide, covering the first three decks of Med/Sci, Engineering, and Hydroponics, up until you meet SHODAN. I would appreciate testers for this. if anyone has about 2 hours, let me know and I can send it. Feedback welcome.

Anyone know of a good Windows RAID 6 software solution for Windows? I bought four Seagate 8TB drives last year when I started digitizing more stuff, however I vastly overestimated space needs; I'm only using about 1.5TB on them and that includes both some data I'm deduping and game preloads.

Birds are a Class of animals, not a species. A bird eating another bird is no more cannibalism than a human eating mammal meat. Chickens are from Superorder Galloanserae, which split off from Neognathae 85 million years ago.

Wikipedia now has a template for listing the various subspecies of red-tailed hawks. :>

I often see people discuss the bird feeders they have, complaining about how it's attracting raptors and asking how to prevent that. I don't get it. It's a bird feeder. It's feeding birds. What's the problem?

Honestly, Myers manages to Bargle Nawdle Zouss. That's really hard for a "marble mouth". (Apologies to Al Yankovic.) "[Trump] ... referred to [Myers] as “marble mouth” in January."

Dr Oz is getting justifiably clowned on for his 1984-style math failures here, but what interests me more is this quote: "The bigger question we should be asking ourselves is why didn’t we [control drug prices] earlier?" We have asked before but the GOP said "No." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

theonion.com/evangelical-... If Intelligent Falling means that God is pushing down on beings to keep them in their place, and birds fly anyways, that would imply birds are favored by God (He lets them fly), more powerful than God (He can't stop them), or are Gods.
