A great exercise on this is to go look up the municipal budget of some rinky-dink city in your state. Having the cash flow of a billionaire would not quite be enough to cover the budget of Roseburg, Oregon (population 24,000, annual budget $113 million).

Maaaaan my local climbing gym is going out of business and the next nearest one is like a 20 minute drive away

I still can't figure out what pass interference is

I let my daughter crack the eggs when making the pancakes. I didn't realize she dropped HALF OF AN EGGSHELL into the mix Mmmm crunchy pancakes

Higgledy piggledy Timothée Chalamet Has a name meriting Endless design Much like his forerunner Benedict Cumberbatch: Hexasyllabically, Easy to rhyme

Can some #OCaml folks tell me how they implement or emulate an interface? Suppose that I have a bunch of different records, and all of them contain a function `show` that uses an internal type and returns a string. Is there any way to put a bunch of these records into the same data structure?

The dogs are terrified of the neighbors' Halloween decorations

Now that we have the ability to save threads, can somebody link the gigantic thread of "Introduction to Political Theory Through Memes" from a few months ago?

The archetype of "guy who looks good in uniform and can do 20 pull-ups but couldn't lead a fire team" was so common when I was in that Terminal Lance did a running gag on "Chongo," the Marine Corps' ideal NCO. You do not want to serve under Chongo. I have. It sucked.

I bought an extremely cheap salami and a baguette at the supermarket instead of giving in to Big Cafeteria, and I think I exceeded my daily salt requirement in less than three minutes

He wants a walk

This has been an utterly putrid game from the Pats and I absolutely do not know how to react to them still being in it (and even in a position to win)

AI Ken Burns narrates this particular chapter with Ashokan Farewell in the background, interspersed with periodic Jamaican dancehall airhorns

How can a dog with tiny floppy ears get an ear infection

My daughter is such a little sassypants to my wife and I have no idea where this is coming from. Kid doesn't even try a tenth of this stuff with me!

The Magic School Bus reboot isn't terrible (in retrospect the original has really awful animation and also has way too much yelling) but it is extremely jarring for Ms Frizzle to talk like a BlueSky poster

Get this Fanduel shit off of my football broadcast

Dudley has discovered that other bathrooms in the house also have dog-accessible toilet paper

Dogs watching my daughter starting to learn chopsticks: "ABSOLUTE CINEMA"

Having an enormous amount of fun with ReScript, which seems to have steadily become less and less OCaml-ish over time but still has a lot of the stuff I like and has some really good React integration I should probably look into Melange as well at some point but it's so alien

an article asking whether it's feminist to use AI? i will get right around to reading that, but first, would you join me in the cellar for a moment? i have a lovely new cask of sherry of dubious origin i'd like your opinion on

Dogs stop demanding attention while I'm watching football challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

Action shot of Dudley engaged in defending the house from absolutely nothing

Attention. Bread alert. Attention. Bread alert. This is not a drill. Attention.

Reminiscing about the time that we were driving from Arizona to Oregon. Dudley was a little puppy, and we stopped in Davis to visit my grandma. We took Dudley to a dog park. He immediately charged at the biggest, baddest husky in the park

Did my first V4 (at a gym where the grades are hard)! 100% convinced that a lot of improvement is from doing "easy" problems on the Kilter board and making my finger tendons really sad. There is a lot of technique in bouldering, but none of it matters if simply you can't hold the darn holds

At some point in the last 4 hours, Dudley went into the bathroom to eat the toilet paper / drink from the toilet and got stuck. Being a lab, he can enthusiastically push a door open with his snoot but can't pull We're pretty sure that he closed the door by wagging his tail during his mischief

young lady I believe I’ve been very clear about how much diggity is allowed around here

(Archer voice) Tendonitis, you're a cruel mistress

I need to start making my pancake batter from scratch. The Costco Bisquick Box has absolutely unacceptable variation between lots and I will not stand for it I'm that sure in a month I'll be griping about variation between lots of plain flour

Masterful regime consolidation, sir Over and over again I'm astounded by the cargo-cult fascism. "Dictators have soldiers tromping around the capital, so I need them too," but not grasping that the dictator makes sure those guys get paid first (to the exclusion of others!!)

Watching a squirrel run all over an oak tree to dislodge the acorns and being extremely glad that I'm not parked under the tree

1. Find some kind of relatively low-intensity physical activity you genuinely enjoy doing for long periods of time. Hiking, biking, canoeing, climbing, pickup basketball, etc 2. Drink less booze and sugared soda 3. Get the snacks outta the house

OPEN THE SCHOOLS ' running tracks for night runs, I'm sick of doing intervals on badly lit sidewalks

Always terrified of somehow screwing up some kind of formatting or style convention whenever I submit a pull request to an open-source project or edit a Wikipedia page, even when it's a really small or fix

That's the news from Lake Bluesky, where all the women are transfemme, all the men are wife guys, and all the children refuse to read.

Camp dogs

My wife lets him sleep here when she's in the bed, so according to Dog Logic this is his place all the time

Due to the dogs being large and Assholes, we got a bigger tent. This is fine for car camping but it is Not Ideal for hike-in camping. I am officially a Pack Husband. A beast of burden

I have seen enough SmartCars painted with Fisher-Price colors that I'm wondering if the company offers it as a standard color

Another day at the bouldering gym, another person loudly saying "what the hell, I can't even start this and that little girl isn't trying hard" Have you tried weighing 45 pounds and having extremely small hands that can grab anything?

My wife is attempting to heat the kiddie pool by pouring in heated water with an electric kettle Assuming a 100-gallon kiddie pool and no heat transfer to the environment, my calculations say that she's increasing the temperature by about 1.5C every time

This would actually be extremely good for Linux in that it would actually force some resources into AppStream & Friends for the graphics-based software installers

If you were ever curious how the Marine Corps tests pull-ups, let's use our esteemed SecDef to show what not to do. * You must start from a dead hang. * You cannot kip. * You have to get your chin slightly higher than that. * You must return to a dead hang to complete the rep.

The SKUNKS are back!!! The dogs were 0-3 last season against the Spicy Weasels and I'm really not interested in any matchups this season. The dog door is closed

The Zoomer / Alpha affectation of affixing "in 2025" to forum questions is driving me nuts. Who taught these people to do this
