Your username has been saved to be repeated at the end of the chorus, Decoy321. It will replay the entire time I’m perched on my ladder building this somehow neverending patio cover. You will rue the day in 3-6 years when I see you again in the comment section of a shitty meme. You. Will. Rue. The. Day.

Fuck you for putting this in my brain.

Otherwise, I hope life is treating you well and you have a nice weekend.

But seriously, fuck you.

Have you met babies? They are eating, pooping, suicide machines.

Some fish have little “hairs” on their body that are very similar to the “hairs” humans have in their ears to detect sound. As part of a trial to regrow damaged “hairs” in people with noise-induced hearing loss (soldiers, factory workers, etc), we had to uh, induce some damage so there was a test subject for the drugs. Turns out, tooth brush heads work really well for transmitting high-frequency waves through small volumes of water. Also turns out that I was not cut out for trials requiring living things. It was rough on the psyche.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the initial purveyor of poo was a researcher, because they are always hauling weird shit around. I was once asked why I was carrying around 40 toothbrushes and when I responded with “for fish stuff”, the looks only turned more confused. I can only imagine being a well-traveled researcher trying to return through customs with my latest batch of study materials.

I guessed I’ve missed that so far. Who?

As opposed to what? Leaving people homeless so those greedy banks and landlords can’t get at their money? Yeah, that’ll show ‘em.

Just beware of changing interest rates. I banked with CIT for a while when interest rates were tanking pre-Covid and I watched my rates drop every month with no written notice (this is standard practice). Also take note that it may take a few more days to retrieve your money when compared to a local branch.

I finally gave up and moved my money “home” because their login and password updating processes were so cumbersome that I was constantly calling their help line and I became worried about my money getting trapped there.

If you don’t need the money for a while, maybe check out 6-12 month CDs.

I wonder if AI-assisted articles will eventually form a feedback loop where “slamming” becomes the only way to describe communication.

The CPUC did not respond to NBC Bay Area's request for comment but has previously said the proposal is meant to enhance solar consumer protections and would only apply to future customers.

I would be thrilled to hear the mental gymnastics used to get from “enhanced solar consumer protections” to “pay us for the energy you produced”.

A friendly reminder: dust off the fan blades before you switch directions. I forgot to do this last week and dumped dust all over my bedspread right as I was about to get under it.

 
 

It’s a niche geographic location but contains millions of people. Come over to see some photos, ask some questions, or learn about our temperate rain forest, what little remains of it, and what you can do to preserve it and help it adapt.

 

At least for a few minutes. Then he jumps up and does the “fire drill”, frantically rolling around in the shaded grass to get the heat off him. Truly the orange cat of dogs.
