I hope you can take some solace in the fact that you gave her a good life and made her feel loved. May you one day meet again.

I’m a big proponent of buying local whenever possible. This plus something similar for physical products is really useful no matter where you live.

I feel this. Getting tired of living through historical events.

Vimium. Allows you to use your keyboard to navigate instead of needing to always reach for the mouse.

These are great, learned 2 new words I never heard before. Slightly related, but in fine fettle can also be used to refer to someone in good shape (mentally or physically).

Awesome shot!

Nice progress. A sharp tool makes a world of difference. As far as the shavings, mine usually go in the composter. A buddy of mine gives them away to people with chickens.

Ah, you’re back

The kicker is that a vast amount of these stadiums are paid for by tax payers. We’re subsidizing billionaires to build these things that we still have to pay to use instead of investing in public spaces and transportation/infrastructure projects

Same, the physical camera button and 3.5mm headphone jack on the Xperia are awesome

Haven’t had this particular brand, but I’ve made vegan musubi before with another. Turned out great and tbh I couldn’t tell the difference. The only downside was the price difference.

That’s awesome. Almost looks like fan art, but IMO has more charm than CGI

Stoked. I missed playing MGS3 when it first came out and am glad to hear this remake is exactly like the original because I hear it was arguably the best in the series.

Awesome job! Digging the small details like the relief cuts on the post bracings. Also cool bat box. I have bare earth around my garden shed and it’s not too much work to keep it clear of weeds but depends on the type of soil.

That’s refreshing to see in a world of ever increasing enshittification. Wish more companies move in this direction.

Somewhat related PSA. I used to have an unscreened window in my home office and started noticing birds would fly into it on occasion. Found out it’s actually pretty common and can be fatal to the unwitting bird, so I put some post-it notes on the window to help them see/avoid it. There are ready-made products for this exact purpose as well. Both seem to do the job and cut down on collisions.

That’s great, let’s hope they invest in the infrastructure needed to make it convenient.

Bass said the city will utilize 3,000 buses loaned to it from around the country to ease traffic congestion. The U.S. government last month pledged $900 million to help improve the city’s rail and bus systems in anticipation of the Games.

That’s tough, wish him luck. I remember reading David Foster Wallace’s essay in A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again about Lynch filming Lost Highway and that he was an avid smoker of American Spirit.
