Apathy Tree

Honestly it’s just so useful. It should be the default.

I picked it up when I lived in Houston, but when I was bartending and stuff after returning to my home state, I’d use it heavily.

Interestingly, though, it made people think I was from another country entirely? Because in absolutely no other way do I sound even remotely southern. (I do use various non-American slang, but not with strangers) Was always a blast to have someone ask where I was from, and try to get them to pinpoint why they didn’t think I was local, when I was born 15 minutes from where the conversation was taking place :p

There’s next to none in all water, when measured by volume.

But things concentrate, so the 0.00005% adds up over time.

Considering it’s also in the water, probably not, no.

Ok, but siphonic systems still flush just fine if you pour water into them…? I’ve been doing it my whole life. Like even if you just pour water from a pitcher at a normal rate it’ll eventually hit a pressure point and flush itself (assuming there’s no clog). If you do it from more than a foot above the bowl it flushes basically instantly.

I’m so curious as to why you think us/canadian toilets don’t flush if you pour water into the bowl…

The thing I saw a while back showed It was tiered, I think 5 tiers, based on karma, with the last wave of people getting the offer being those with like 5k or some ridiculously low number basically meaning they offered it to nearly everyone.

If they had sold the shares with the first few waves it wouldn’t have gotten to the low karma users, which probably means it wasn’t well received.

A building down the street from where I live has like 3 families with kids renting and they are always outside in a big gaggle. Like is the weather close to halfway decent? They are out.

I think because their parents are never around supervising them. But that’s about the only place with obvious kids. There must be more, but I have no idea where.

I used to have that every day of the week. Anxiety attacks were my alarm clock, typically 2 hours before I needed to be up with no chance of getting back to sleep. I stuck it out for 2 years.

Now when I start getting that I make note. If it continues for more than a few months, I quit. (I’ve never been stable even when I took shit, so what difference does it make?)

It’s not stable, but nothing about the present system is stable, and I’d rather be unstable on my terms than theirs.

I have a hideous lamp that I hate that’s worth about a grand. It doesn’t look like it’s worth that much, just a heavy brass base and reverse painted landscape shade… but all antique and sought after.

My cats are probably going to break it so I should sell it but it was the last lamp my mom refurbished before she died (why it didn’t get sold and I got it in the first place)

I also have a brass fairy floor lamp that, with no shade, is worth about $1500, but that one looks valuable, and is very rare (and super cool)

I don’t have any income at the moment so I’d take this deal.

But only because I’m curious what a life of leisure with the exact same material conditions would look like, as alternate me wouldn’t be benefiting any more than actual me would be losing out.

My favorite is when the ringing from power resonates with the tinnitus and ends up with an oscillating tone. Drives me absolutely insane.

I’m glad it’s not just me being unable to get ai to produce decent fins/tails.

It’s so bad at them!

Awww this makes me miss Waffle House. Vaguely.

All of my experiences with Waffle House have been either drunk or nostalgia (literally only two options, as I haven’t been at one in 10+ yrs but experienced my first under 25 years ago), and both are passable. At least your drunk meal doesn’t cost much. And if you are sober you don’t expect much.

But when you go sober, for nostalgia, in a region you don’t normally frequent, they get actively upset at large (pay for the job, not based on check) tips. Left $10 on a $10 tab somewhere in Kansas, because fuck those people work hard, and they made absolutely certain I meant to leave that in cash. They seemed actively uncomfortable with it.

Such a weird dynamic for a country that allows/requires tipping. But they are so used to poverty wage that anything that isn’t is unbelievable. Man that’s so sad.

Much cuter and smaller than Pygmy elephants, buuuuuuut

They are so cute!

Reminds me of armored gorilla from one punch man.

Maybe some of those foam chunk pillows with adjustable loft. Basically the case has a zipper in it and you can move fill from one to another.

I bought a pair of these and some waterproof zip cases and ended up with 3 pillows I like instead of 2 because they both needed to lose about a third of their volume to be right for me.

I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally clicked an ad, with the very very infrequent exception of product results that come up in searches. It’s literally never been to buy the product, though. It’s to see if I’m interested in doing more shopping around. Ads are never for the best priced or highest quality product, but if it’s something you’ve never looked into before they can be informative, and it’s easy to access.

But since I started running a pihole years ago, I don’t even do that, because it gets blocked when I click it. Rightly so, it was a bad strategy anyway.

Despite microwaving potatoes frequently, (1-10/wk, don’t judge me) for many years (often questionably, typically without pricking) I have yet to have one explode. One would assume microwave explosions would be more common.

Perhaps luck, perhaps potato type/size (I like Yukon gold and reds, which are thin skin, small, and relatively soft) but it’s just me so I don’t usually buy large/baking potatoes, and maybe those are more prone to bursting?

I put them in a lidded microwave safe container, bit of water in the bottom, microwave for 10-15 minutes. Never a burst in… almost 20 years?

Looooooooong toes O.O

Hard pass. Even on android I hated the gboard. Absolutely not willing to let them view all my typing to use it, even if it’s hands down better than the iOS board.

Apple getting that info is bad enough (I assume they do even if they say they don’t) I don’t need to open to a second known-bad entity (because it will be both, not one or the other, I know what apple does with development)

(Maybe that was the joke? I worry about this all the time…)
