Got a $40 rug and it really ties the room together. Got 3/4ish of the flooring in with a couple breaks for Reb ca to take her Biostats final and a nap. Hit the desk legs flanges with the wire wheel and gloss acrylic to make it a cleaner industrial look.

Got about 1/4 of the room done in a couple hours. Managed to get it in without taking the desk apart, just took one leg off at a time. I built a crosscut sled since the last time I did flooring and *holy shit* it's life changing. Taking a break so wife can take one of her *three* MSN finals.

New photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show service members receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some troops have lost significant weight and aren’t receiving care packages—while the Pentagon denies any shortages. (Newsweek)

So Say We All!

Fajita Friday!

18yo is having a hard time with "we're not driving you anywhere because you're failing English" and seems to think it means we grounded him. You're 18, we can't ground you. But if you're relying on us to be your free taxi, you do need to fulfill your household and academic responsibilities.

I drive a good sized truck and yeah, there are serious issues around lack of bumper height and driver visibility regulations. And it's not just the front end. The massive side mirrors plus oversized A pillars mean shitty front corner visibility too.

Full Armor ZZ arrives today, so the ZZ Gundam has been transformed to G-Fortress Mode.

Got all the old stuff out and prepped the floors for laminate. Need to pull the baseboards up yet but that can wait until this weekend. Also went around with some 2" wood screws and the impact driver and fixed all the floorboard squeaks. Should only take a few hours to get the floor in.

My sister manages an adult store and was deposed when a terminated employee sued for sexual harassment because they were trans, and the store sold trans porn. We were discussing it one night over some substances at mom and dads and "BUT YOU WORK IN A DILDO STORE!" was my exact response.

The administration wants the informants exposed to protect white nationalists

This is why I only ever ride on dedicated trails. about even protected bike lanes. Yeah, it's boring, but the handful of times I've had to navigate anything over than a suburban neighborhood road has felt like jumping in a bumper cars ride witjout a (literal and figurative) car.

Aha! A mystery solved! Paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41671482/

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

Stuffed, seared, and tossed into a made from whole tomato sauce, and we'll come back to it in an hour or so.

TIME TO STUFF THE BALLS

Seeing Bryan Voltaggio finally get a competition win was awesome. We fell in love with him the last few months as we've been binging Top Chef. His whole "Wow. I don't know what to do I've never won anything before" followed by Guy facetiming his brother was great.

MS really missing an excellent GenX slash elder millennial branding opportunity.

A very special 4/20 presentation of DARK WEB

Straight to Rebecca's FB messenger. Should brighten the day in Interventional Radiology.

Jokers are wild... 🃏 Game Changer Season 8 premieres May 18th only on Dropout.

All group policy related tickets must include a Churru and head scritches.

Happy 4/20 to all who celebrate #StarTrek #BlazinBev #StarTrekTNG

Waist skeleton completed. A PG having the articulation to be able to properly kneel is impressive even if it's just with the armor off.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Core Memory: RoboCop punching a dude in the neck and a fountain of blood spurting out while me and a half dozen other six year olds were backyard wrestling on the floor of cushions in the basement of the 'cool friends' house. The cool friend house was unsupervised chaos. Modern kids have no idea.

The detailing is crazy and I have done almost nothing extra. Everything is undergated or the gates are placed where they're hidden in joints or covered up by other parts. This is about 8 hours of work.

🎶 this is how legends are made 🎶

5 hours and a break to make dinner later, and we have about 50% of two legs.

Pot Lid - 1 Thumbprint - 0

Building time. Should have two legs in a few hours.

Married 20 years, been together 22. Context. We're repainting the bathroom and I was told "I trust your judgement" about paint colors. Holy shit I love this woman.

oh, the pope is an augustinian? big deal, in third grade i didn’t know what to confess to the priest one week so i said i was coveting my neighbor’s wife

Never ceases to amaze me how little understanding the "i stand with Christ" people actually understand their religion. One of the core tenants of Catholicism is that the Pope is The Mortal Mouthpiece of God on Earth. Militant atheist 17yo me is delighting at the idea of public excommunications.

I feel attacked.

Speak the user's language to save your sanity. "Using <powershell script from hell to popup an HTA at unlock> gives users the choice to engage with the awareness campaign. Leveraging <GPP we already have> will force user engagement by opening the campaign website directly"

This is one of the best GUI troubleshooting tools. In order: Turbotax Installer fails 2x, xBox app update fail. Power Outage and xBox app update fail again. Windows MyPhone app failed update. World of Warcraft crash when cat sat on the keyboard and launched 20+ game instances.

I download two things every tax season. The new version of a certain tax filing application, and the most recent build of DNSpy.

While I can't remember any of them individually, the number of times my 14yo has dissembled into a fit of giggles at the dinner table relaying some weird Charlie Kirk joke from school is easily a 2-3x a week occurance.

The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists. They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.
