Wait is this the best political ad ever?

HVAC installers in the Northeastern United States: "Heat pumps don't work in cold weather." Meanwhile, in Nuuk: www.google.com/maps/@64.172...

House is coming together. Need to order a little more composite siding and paint the bridge and the outside is done. 3" of exterior c.i. is keeping it nice.

Someone did a table read of @jonbois.bsky.social's 17776. I'm kinda digging it m.youtube.com/watch?v=f89m...

Spring is taking a gap year.

Thinking about pitching a new pilot to CBS, The Fat Man and the Potato. Think it will work? #dogs

An important and underappreciated fact of electricity economics: The US average *wholesale* electricity price is ~5 c/kWh, or ~25% of the average *retail* price of ~19 c/kWh. The other ~75% of the electricity prices we pay is about poles, wires, transformers, generation capacity, and utility profit.

Dude straight up fell asleep sitting up. #dogs

“Bills, Commanders, obviously the Steelers, I think the Giants for a bit there. Huge reservoir of talented offensive and defensive minds. Jimmie Laycock has a coaching tree to rival Yggdrasil. ” “So you win?” “Oh, heavens no.”

The Crimson Permenant Assurance is still my favorite thing Terry Gilliam ever directed. The perfect short film. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cri...

This is legit. Link on BSC website has it. I'm amazed Joe got into the modern era. He and Betsy are they absolute best people.

To the Toyota Tundra owner trying to parallel park outside the subway in DC for the past 10 minutes, thank you for the entertainment. Also, line up rear wheels with back of front car, full turn in until your front wheels are behind the car. Full turn other way and your magically in.

@teamsters.bsky.social you hear that? America's unions will keep fighting for them. Tell Sean I'm still waiting for a response to my letter.

House is starting to look fancy. Next it gets a 3" spray foam sweater on the outside, a #buildingscience good practice.

A hermit crab taxi carrying a blue sea slug! It’s an adorable traffic jam 🐚✨️

What the fuck did I do? Trying to catch her dreaming and as soon as I start the camera, she's got something better to do. #dogs

@donoteat.bsky.social future episode? If so, it would be the shortest one of all time.

I'm glad that my new dog respects me and understands who the master of the house is.

I love that my new dog is finally starting to trust me.

Wow. Single point of failure. www.ntsb.gov/news/press-r...

Bring back the ha'penny.

Open Sesame! The ELT doors have moved for the first time. This was no small feat, as each door will weigh 650 tonnes once completed. The ELT dome & its doors will guard the telescope from the harsh conditions of the Atacama Desert. https://www.eso.org/public/videos/potw2544a/ 🔭 🧪 📹 ESO/ACe

$3.49/lb. for beef neckbones. In this economy?!?

This generic acetaminophen had an Amtrak ACS-64, four Amfleet 1 cars, a Conrail EMD GP15-1, and some Conrail rolling stock in it. The problem is more serious than I thought.

Why are there no motorcycle spots at costco?

New hat... smells like dirt.

#perovskite is the tech bro of this competition. Call me when you have a commercially viable product. #calcite is an easy choice for me.

Guess who worked outside all day?

At my shithole diner rn (Denny's) and overheard the table next to me, an older couple who have been completely silent before and since. Lady: "Why do they have to shove this DEI down our and our children's throats?" It not anger Im feeling right now. It's pity. This is this entire person's life.

There's little 'natural' about this scene, unless we recognize humans are an intricate part of nature.

#buildingscience tip of the day. Pick up a gallon of water. Heavy, right? Now, pick up a few thousand at once. This is the kind of force your basement walls experience when the water has nowhere to go. Dimple mats are cheap and solve this problem.

Coming to the realization that history teachers of the future are going to be NSFW.

President Donald Trump’s three appointees to the U.S. Supreme Court each made alarming statements in a single case about federal health research grants last week, particularly when viewed in light of the broader attack on the rule of law in America. Today’s in-depth report, at Law Dork:

What's worse, opioid addiction or persistent lower back pain? Grams of ibuprofen aren't doing it for me today.

They fixed the hole in the wall. Getting there

Just saw a 50-something dude driving a convertible Camero with a vanity plate that said 'STPNWLF'. I dont know if I should shun or aspire to become this man.

Guys are going old school with this wall. Multi-wythe is how we used to build. Those late 19th century houses are still holding up pretty well. #buildingscience

31. I need to get out more.

Seeing Puddles Pity Party do Crazy Train at Wolf Trap tonight was kind of what I needed. #ripozzy

I'm nominating this as the 'best of the worst' gif ever. Bravo to its creator. Are there other nominees?

I know the world is falling apart, but can we spend some time dealing with women's pockets? I've been commuting to work able to stuff mass-market and trade paperbacks in my pockets. My wife's pant pockets can barely fit a haiku. It's 2025. Can we please fix this already?

Okonomiyaki at home for dinner yesterday. Don't think we did too bad. 🍜

We can still build durable, reasonably-sized houses. It's astonishing to me that too often size denotes quality. Design question for BS. Since the insulation is on the exterior, would you cover the concrete walls with anything or leave bare?

Bedroom view is going to look nice. As soon as we get the walls, that is.

New whip.
