If someone reaches out out of the blue, when you’ve previously told them you have interest in them, talks for a while, then says they’d like to come visit you, a relationship isn’t out of the question. I’d not get too worked up until that first visit, but I’d definitely be open to see where it goes.

The problem is, have you ever noticed how much hotter you are in a parking lot on a warm day than when you are in a park? Well, now those events are happening on a parking lot and not a park. Furniture can be designed to work on turf, or temporary fixtures could be put in place to mitigate the drawbacks of furniture on lawns, but the absorbed and reflected heat will be hard to get rid of. Hopefully this area is small enough to not have a big impact on the temperature there.

I honestly don’t think it looks bad, but I suspect it’s more for Trump to put his stamp on it than anything else, and to erase the efforts of others before him. And I suspect it will be more uncomfortable than it was before.

I’m pretty sure federal buildings are also on federal land, so no rooftop solar for those, either.

I have never filled my car’s tank with “a gas,” I fill it with gas, which is short for gasoline. That abbreviation being a homonym for gas, a chemical phase, is merely an unfortunate coincidence.

It kind of reminds me of the French palace in Versailles. Whatever happened to those guys…

Best reason to not wear pants.

Don’t worry, the Indians born on reservations before 1924 weren’t born after 1868.

The original statement didn’t specify that it only applied to people alive today.

It was surprisingly hard at one time to get both the poster and community to show up in Voyager. I spent about half an hour figuring out the settings to make it happen. Between shitpost, Onion, and NotTheOnion communities, and the amount of overlap between posts in them, I find that vital context in many posts.

Office 97 was the last good Office. No auto-adjusting menus, no ribbons, you could actually provide phone support and have confidence that both people were seeing the same thing.

“Can I have the technical specifications for my, uh, stove?” Not a legitimate question i was expecting…

While it’s an important question, in this context it’s also a distraction from the failure of our various leaders and what’s happening here.

I prefer the yolks be as smooth as possible, but I just use a whisk attachment on my hand mixer. Beautiful, fast, easy, and I may have eaten the extra mixture stuck to the whisks when I’m done.

It’s also worth noting that there’s good evidence that cats self-domesticated, much more than dogs did. This will also have an impact on the relationship, with cats basically doing cat things for us on their terms and dogs doing dog things for us on our terms.

Or we could do everything in our power to divorce our economy from oil rather than clinging desperately to a doomed business model.

Anti-sport? The better you are, the less you do…

Laura Ingalls Wilder nearly lived long enough to see a satellite launched into space. She lived through a time when the fastest means of transport went from a steam train to it being a rocket.

There was a whole generation like that.

Yeah I could have lived without hearing that from a grown-ass man this month.

Statistics is to guesswork what data is to anecdotes.

You need to balance the harm caused by allowing people to engage in self-harm with the harm imposed by removing someone’s freedom of choice. If God Himself thought it was important for us to have free will, what right do you or I have to remove it?
