Met a beautiful dog at the farm last night.

You should win a national election on these campaign promises.

These people need antipsychotics.

Been happening for a while, actually.

And in red states, you'll see local thugs terrorizing their election boards and school committees. Happening already.

Since the Elden Ring DLC, I've been meaning to look into the etymology of the word "shadow" to hopefully explain the use of "scadu" in the game and it's better than I had hoped.

I'm too old to know how to share a screenshot from my PS4 but I'm old enough to know how to photograph it and modify it in Photoshop to approximate what I'm seeing on my TV. It's better irl. Amazing nonetheless. #EldenRingDLC

Most elevator companies are a bunch of shady fucks who think too much of themselves and they do shit like this: the BTU/hr is tucked away on some random page in 6pt text formatted in a way that it can’t be found in a text search. This is why I take the stairs.

Uh oh! The algorithm has figured out my type.

They should make a feature film adaptation of The Yellow Wallpaper. Wait, what?

For as much as I disliked Asimov as a fiction writer, I thought all those same qualities made him a solid nonfiction writer. This was such a vital starting point for any historical inquiry for me for so many years. So now that I'm rebuilding my library, I figured I should get this again.

This was one of the first comics I ever bought. Though this was the very first comic I bought. Of course because it had my two favorite things, spaceships and dinosaurs. I was a very typical child in the 70s. And the Superman comic because I like McDonalds.

This guy definitely looks like he should be investigated for fraud.

Uhhhhhh

Remember when the most important issue was civility in politics because restaurant workers politely decline to serve Sarah Sanders and now everyone targeted by Trump or his cronies needs private security and we don’t talk about civility much anymore www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his convictionwww.nbcnews.com On social media and web forums, users called for jurors, judges and prosecutors to be killed after the former president was found guilty on 34 felony counts.

GOP: The justice system is a joke! Also the GOP:

I just started reading this paper but I love it so far. I love this choice in terminology. Calling the "system of interest" a "plant" is great. So perfectly generic. Because it's a plant that manufactures a product/outcome whose quality we are concerned with controlling.

Cool paper reviewing how and when we can model and control complex systems with heterogeneous elements interacting at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The authors are optimistic. Even if we can't fully characterize the degrees of freedom and their interactions, some control is possible. 🦋🦫🌱🐋🧪

Apropos of nothing: Don't spec an exterior finish for your building in this color. It's a common color for fluid/sheet applied air/vapor/weather barriers and everyone in AEC will think your building looks unfinished and will laugh at you.

FOMO is not a business strategy.

Found this on the other site and it explains so so much.

Like most ideas I develop, it's not necessarily because I want to do it, it's that I want it to exist in the world so I can consume it. I want it and the market doesn't provide it.

lol. What kind of naive chump would believe this obvious bullshit?

I have nothing good to say about Kia or cars save this: Kia's logo is a brilliant design.

The original design was problematic and they had Stan Winston redesign it. screenrant.com/predator-mov...

I wonder what they mean by “relatively?” Is this a case of Lucille Bluth not knowing the price of a banana? Because it feels like she wrote this article.

Behold the great wall of Uruk!

This is one of those "simulation glitches" where I was thinking about Gilgamesh and Uruk just yesterday because our office community activity for this month is going to be Lego themed and I was hoping to get a Wall of Uruk Lego set (not that one exists, just hopeful that it does).

I found this opened in Illustrator, probably because I had wanted to mockup what I had in mind, so I did.

This is brilliant but I would have tried for something shiny at the top button on the collar. Or right in the middle of the glasses.

I've been debating so many songs for this designation of "favorite song" in a meticulous manner for the past months, and Consolidated by Consolidated, the last track on The Myth of Rock (1990), continually gets votes every time I hear it. This whole album rocks.

My 2nd pick for "Favorite Song" is Pendulum by FKA twigs and Paul Epworth from LP1. A lot of this album digs deeply into my soul and pleases all of my musical instincts but this song in particular also taps into memories of my early relationships and how selfish and emotionally distant I was.

Well, I could split this floor plan into 6 units, but if I hope to make these luxury units, I think I should stick with 4. I might also play around with a very expensive open central atrium and relocate the elevator there.

I'm thinking of buying this building and converting it to condos. The assessed value is 7.5, but the owner was only getting 240k/yr(!), which even at 2019 cap rates would be worth 4.8. I can probably get 6 units per floor on the top 3 floors at about 1500 SF per and sell them for over 1M each.
