Medieval peasants could make a roof that doesn't leak. Ancient Sumer had roofs that didn't leak. Folks all the way around the Arctic Circle can make roofs that don't leak using just snow.

It's gotten a lot easier to get games working on Linux since the Steamdeck came out! My wife, daughter and I are all gamers and I'm the only one who does it on Windows.

Wife sometimes has to troubleshoot, but I can't remember the last time a game just wouldn't work at all.

Kiddo is not engaging in danger-adjacent tasks. Loud/startling noises may cause anxiety and/or be counterproductive.

What are some good standalone timers with an option for a nice calm sound like a chime or something?

It's amazing to watch corporations miss obvious opportunities in this economy.

(I'd love KPDH shoes too but I'm used to disappointment with my size 9s)

Me: THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR ANALYSIS

Brain: BUT ELPHABA IS THE ONLY CHARACTER WHO STAYS REAL AND TRUE WHEN EVERYONE ELSE TRIES TO CHANGE HER

Me: goddammit why did I have to be a theater/book dweeb

Only kids sizes? They're leaving a ton of money on the table because my kid is 12 and would LOVE KPDH shoes but she has grown-ass adult sized feet somehow

I'm not really your target audience but I would like to contribute a HELL YEAH!! and add that I was rooting for Al and Ethan for ages and the wrap-up was so satisfying.

.... okay I meant all that literally but uh it reads different considering the subject matter 🤷

I don't have anything for you but as someone whose parents managed to scrape together enough to get my (then-undiagnosed) 12-year-old ADHD self a piano, my fingers are SO crossed for you. I hope someone comes through!

It's giving "Taylor Swift is secretly gay" vibes.

Pete is the poster child of Privileged Cis White Gay Man Yeeting Folks Under Buses, how tf do people pretend he's faking?

You're paying for the enjoyment and skill-building of the process as well as the end result.

I had to explain that MANY times to coworkers who saw me knitting, lol. So what if I could "just get a scarf at Target for five bucks"?

We have one of those! It doesn't work anymore because we accidentally murdered the cord but they are great.

(We contacted them for a new cord but they sent us one with the wrong nationality of plug, oops)
