Vaguely humanoid earth moving equipment. Fuzz doula.
I like it less the day after, the Acting of the third act detracted from the overall film because it revealed the production, almost like an uncalled for 4th wall break.
We caught the new Knives Out tonight.
Pairs well with popcorn and a glass of wine. Worth a watch, unlike the 2nd one, but they could easily have cut 20 minutes.
The 3rd act was way too self indulgent.

Late 90s, installed Debian or Slackware on an already old Compaq, mostly for gcc.
28 years ago, I learned about this amazing thing called Linux.
I immediately drove down to Best Buy and bought a boxed set of Red Hat 5.0. Probably the best $50 I've ever spent!
What was your first Linux distro?

I guess it's reasonable for subfloor crossbracing to need a bit of TLC after 80 years but all this crawling is tiresome.

Everybody loves to hate Lars Ulrich but guess who DOESN'T have any sex pest allegations?
If it weren't for the Napster lawsuit and if he was a better drummer people would love him.

This thread is worth reading (or rereading) on World AIDS Day.
I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.
Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

The situation is a little difficult to describe textually, so here is an approximation of the turdjectory that the team member managed to set in motion. There is one corner of the platform that does not have a wall and that's the one that they hit.

The testing department has deemed the current design for my litter catcher insufficient.
We have an automatic litterbox (because we have 4 cats) and to make keeping the bathroom that it's in a bit cleaner I built an entrance/platform thing out of scrap wood that they use to access the litterbox.

Went through my bandcamp email folder for other reasons and got punched in the gut by a receipt from a friend who died less than two years after buying a download for a fundraiser.

Sometimes I wonder if seminal Boston street punk band The Bruisers named their debut album "Cruisin' for a Bruisin'" because they were cool and familiar with slang.

My walking to school uphill both ways was shoveling the driveway in the morning, then again after the snow plow plowed us in, and then once more at night.
my wife grew up in Southern California and one time we were in Boulder and we went out to dinner while it was snowing and had to scrape off the car on the way there
I will never forget her outraged "what do you mean we have to do it AGAIN" when we came back to the car after dinner

I have nothing against you or your regional culture but there is an unbreakable spiritual bond between anyone who has ever had to scrape ice off a windshield while hungover

Really interesting article about hoplite equipment.
Funny anecdote: the full smoke diving "panoply" that we used weighed around 40kg plus the hose that you dragged along and while it was tiring we were still able to operate until the air ran out.
Something to be said for modern diets, I think.

This week on the blog: hoplites! In particular, hoplite equipment! We talk shields, helmets, armor, weight and mobility.
Was the hoplite an over-encumbered battlefield turtle incapable of fighting outside of the phalanx? (No)
Was he actually a good skirmisher? (Also no)

I deeply resent that I'm expected to have spent a single second listening to a podcast called cumtown because of the cumtown extended universe making headlines for various reasons.

Seeing ads for some kind of cling wrap applicator for when guests won't take their shoes off.
If people are insisting on dragging dog shit around your house don't invite them, or run them out. Don't pull out the passive-aggressivator 2000.

NW: Manhattan Baby (1982)
If this hadn't come out the same year as Poltergeist I would've called this Fulci's take on it.
Pretty sure the score is recycled from The Beyond, the discordant piano piece is really, really similar.
Not his greatest work but any Fulci is worth the time.
