I heard about it yesterday, but had no time to arrange to take off work.

Okay, thanks! The good news is that at least I wasn't overlooking a setting somewhere, lol !

We weren't beat up, just socially ostracized. Also, being into science fiction, fantasy, anime, or cosplay would get you socially ostracized. Probably other things I'm forgetting.

It's really weird seeing the 'outsider' things you were really into become brought into the mainstream. And the cynical part of you wonders how many of the people who are into it now, would still be into it if it was less socially acceptable.

I'm glad all y'all found your people, happy for you!

Ford warned Trump may use tariff threats again

Will use them again, will.

The pause follows Canada’s concessions on border security and fentanyl. Prime Minister Trudeau pledged new enforcement measures to ease tensions.

Goddamnit, I'm so. fucking. tired. of people giving him wins, or things he can claim are wins.

My problem with Tesla is that so many things seem half-unthinking, half-finished or half-assed:

Unthinking: I know! I'll put a ledge in from of the headlights, so snow can pile up while I'm driving!

Unfinished: all the seam mismatches and eternally unfinished-but-really-close! full self-driving (it ain't gonna happen).

Half-assed: that recall they had to do because sometimes the latch doesn't catch properly and the hood flies open when you're driving and blocks your view. Tesla's solution isn't to fix or replace the hood latch so this doesn't happen; they push a software up that monitors the hood latch and pops up a warning, telling you to pull over and check the hood latch. Because apparently fixing the issue that their poor design (see #1) and bad implementation (see #2) doesn't warrant an actual fix, they're just going to fob the risk , the cost and the work off to the customer.

Early last week, I had a kidney stone attack. I was taking a picture for my doctor of the blood clots that I'd pissed out, and I noticed the toilet was ... not great. So I took the pictures, poured don't bleach in, swished it around and waited for the next attack phase.

This morning, I walked in to use the bathroom (as I've been doing this entire week), and there was a bottle of bleach sitting right out in front of the toilet. Like, when you're moving to sit down, you need to maneveur around the bottle; and when you're sitting, you have to keep your legs apart to accommodate this gallon bottle of bleach.

I have been maneveuring around this extremely inconveniently placed bottle of bleach cut an entire week, and I have no memory of it! It's so infuriating!

Re: your wallet: maybe put a Tile in it? Or designate one specific place for it to live in the house?

He's scared because stocks were down a bit this morning, he's been fielding calls from panicked CEOs all weekend, and someone actually stood up to him. Good on you, Canada!

Edit: FTA:

we've noticed is that Mexicans are very, very serious about doing what President Trump said

Ugh, sorry, Mexico!

this is going to be one of the biggest supply-side positive shocks that we've ever seen

I don't think that word [positive] means what you think it does.

There's [email protected] and [email protected] ; the first is more active, the second would probably welcome the traffic.
