I've been joking since we found out last year that he was in the files (last year) that he should just buy Epstein Island and leave the rest of us out of his continuing mid-life crisis. That was joke was closer to reality than I thought.

They are apparently going to bring back "Rush Hour" sequels with this guy at the helm.

I guess meat thermometers can work for inside air temperature. I won't leave the heater running all the time, so I woke up cold.

I can't say that I'm OK with anyone who was actually OK with this to begin with or attempted to justify it... Their moral compass was broken or lost a long time ago.

A 377.91% price increase... I don't want more RAM that much. I'm glad I decided to rebuild my PC in August 2024, when I paid 112.99 for the exact same 32GB. It only goes up more every time I check.

On a live show (The Damage Report), they've been talking about the prices of Lego sets. I had no idea some of them were that expensive. We have "2nd and Charles" stores, owned by Books-A-Million that sell loose pieces like this, by the bag or by the ounce. @johniadarola.bsky.social

I'm surprised that I actually liked this movie. Sometimes, especially lately, I just need to watch a big dumb action movie that is not really meant to be taken too seriously. I liked their chemistry as brothers who irritate each other, a lot.

This is kind of crazy, but this 3D printing / enthusiast / educator is getting a lot of hate over this post about mass printing whistles. 3Dprinting isn't just for one side of the political aisle. Some of the comments he's getting are wild.

Seen at the local grocery store... Really, man? You need FOUR spots?! Is "douche canoe" the right term for someone who parks like this?

People are remembering that standoff at Bundy Ranch in 2014. That's where all the white militia jokes started. Vanilla ISIS, Yall Qaeda, Yeehawdists, etc. My favorite lately has been "Pillsbury Proudboys", which makes me think of Kyle Rittenhouse. It seems relevant lately.

Due to the coldness, I hadn't left the house since before the weekend. So, I think both contributed to my car battery failing. It's good to have one of these in your car and fully-charged. It's quick and easy. I think I paid $50 on sale.

Current meat-ular food item numbers. Came down a little.

Glad to hear it. Maybe buying it just to bury it was the point, though? Make sure you delete your account before uninstalling the app on your phone.

If 2025 and 2026 (so far) were a scented candle.

I typically prefer the cold over the heat. This is too cold. Had to bite the bullet and flip on the heater for a bit.

What's ridiculous to me is that the only current way to get this to stop or slow down is for the people doing all this to see the polls aren't in their favor and decide to back off and not be as over-the-top as they have been, maybe firing a couple people. It's up to the monsters being monsters. 🫠

I'm not used to these winter situations. Newer faucets should have a "winter weather drip mode". I hate figuring out the perfect drip late at night.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people" - William Adama - Battlestar Galactica

I really don't know how some can report some of these things live without losing it more often. I've seen it a few times on networks like TYT, which are live broadcasts. We're all human & empathy shouldn't be ridiculed.

It was very cold & will be even colder overnight. Seemed like roasting vegetables to generate some heat (in a small area) was a good idea and I like food and whatnot.

My dad and I watched X-Files religiously. This is correct.

Now we're looking at some 2A maga realizing that it may be this administration doing some infringing soon. It's a good a time as any to remind people that some liberals own guns as well. We just typically leave them at home for protection and don't bring them into public for emotional support.

One thing with Threads that I like, besides allowing editing within a certain time frame, is the ability to change who can comment at any point. So, when too many people comment almost EXACTLY the same responses, like they don't read through other replies at all, you can shut it down.

I've seen maybe 4 different video angles of this murder. Absolutely everything this administration is saying has been an outright lie.

I seem to remember them making a celebrity out of a kid who brought a gun to a protest and was intentionally provoking people with it. The cops in the vicinity didn't do their job that day.

If you know someone who does gig work, like photography, design work, web design, etc. Please don't recommend them to people with the addition of "they can practically do it for free." I've lost count of how many times someone thought they were helping me out with that.

Weird encounter the other day. An older guy behind me had a couple of items and I insisted he go ahead of me. He checked out and told me "thank you" and I responded "no problem". He shook his head at me in disgust. It's a common phrase. People need to chill out about phrases and words.

Juvenile, but funny.

They said the guy was armed, but had a permit. Over half the states are permitless concealed carry now. There's no rule that only conservative white people are allowed to carry a gun. He was holding a phone in his hand in the videos from multiple angles that I saw. "Call of Duty" game training.

As soon as I read about who is taking over TikTok, I knew the right choice was to delete my account, same with Twitter.

My friend loved the background replacement I chose for his dog. If you recognize that background, you're probably my people.

Bro looks like a zombie.

With the extreme cold on the way to my area, I stocked up on vegetables for roasting and some alcohol. I also picked up some sausage, figured I'd try the Aldi brand. Although, those numbers don't look too healthy.

This winter has been fairly mild in my area (south Louisiana). Now all of a sudden we're getting slammed by a winter storm for a week. I've only had to run faucets twice, now it looks like most nights in a row coming up.

My two favorite movies of last year were ignored for Oscar nominations (Bring Her Back, Weapons). So, it's kind of like the Grammy's for me. Hard rock and metal are usually overlooked just like horror.

I think we're way past this point. Most people would have already taken grandpa's keys away and sold the car for everyone's safety. He has the nuclear codes.

That time I designed a "cat chin scratcher" apparatus. Nemo was my test subject. The novelty of having a weird idea, then spending some time in 3D modeling software and then holding that idea in the physical world never really wears off. Yeah, it kind of looks like a baby rattle & mace hybrid.

If you need some newer images of Mongo in his failed parachute, crash landing poses. #cats #catsofbluesky

Sounds fair.

I'm genuinely confused about this one. Do you just ask for the "Geordi La Forge Special"? #startrek

The car jump starter came in handy today. I used it twice while I was out. Between the cold weather and being sick (I wasn't leaving the house much)... My car was having problems starting. As a devout introvert, I hate asking strangers for a jump. It's a good investment. Keep it charged.

When it's cold enough indoors to see how hot your coffee is.

I've never seen one administration make so many horrifically bad decisions on a regular basis... interestingengineering.com/ai-robotics/...

The high today is 48°F (8.8°C). I don't turn on the heater until I can see my breath. Perfect day to roast vegetables.

This is like Leonardo DiCaprio giving his Oscar to Kirk Cameron. I remember when a few of his cult members, who were veterans, willingly sent him their Purple Heart medals. He stole a World Cup trophy. He gave out miscellaneous Presidential medals to talk radio hosts and podcasters...🙃

My first #3Dprint of the year (Creality CR-10). The idea is having a better place to put my phone when I'm at my desk. Putting a black phone on a black desk/table makes it too easy to lose track of it. I like it angled to see notifications better or watch a video.

... and prescriptions are up to 1400% cheaper, right?

Over a decade ago, I had to sink my teeth into Saleforce for work. I hope the GUI has improved since then. I always joked that I wanted to be a cult leader. It seemed like the best way to practice in a test "org" (instance) environment.

If you have ever had cats, you might know that there is a certain threshold crossed that is not always apparent until it might be too late, when it unexpectedly gets serious. There could be a moment where innocent play becomes deadly (or at least possibly scarring). #Cats #caturday

I didn't actually need another reason to not like Michael Rapaport, but here we are. I don't watch reality TV, so, I've only seen clips.
