You must live around a bunch of assholes. I live in a neighborhood with a ton of dogs, and everyone picks up after their animals. And there’s one guy with a “please no pooping!” sign on his lawn and everyone respects it.

What the fuck, dude? Put up a sign. 

Mine was originally listed as a “corgi/husky mix”. Our best guess after almost a year is dachshund/beagle/other.  He was also advertised as a “low-maintenance cuddler”.  Yes, he will cuddle... my face at 4am because I’m not playing fetch.

I was shocked how few doggie carseats are crash-tested. I watched some of the videos here and was horrified: https://www.centerforpetsafety.org/test-results/

On a side note, I ended up with an elevated seat for my low rider pup and it’s eliminated his car sickness!

Do ittt I suck at CAD

Great now I want to design something (or, ask an engineer friend to design something, lbr) that can be 3d printed to turn this into a flip-top lid. I can’t find one on Thingiverse. Ball jar bongs? Yes. Salt cellars? No.

Right? I recently tweeted out something about the waitlist for a new audiobook being 3 months long, and tagged the author. She liked it. Content demand is fantastic for writers, through every and all legitimate venues.

Wait until he hears about how you can get galleys of books from publishers for absolutely free if…

The content is likely licensed for News+ in a way similar to how it is licensed out to content providers like Flipster and RBDigital.  I doubt magazines are making substantially more in the Apple deal.  Source: am librarian

My favorite Amtrak story is when I took it right after 9/11. A passenger asked the conductor what Amtrak was doing about terrorism. We were sitting in the observation car. The conductor looked around at the Nebraska landscape around us, and simply said, “Well, sir, unless the terrorists really like popcorn, I don’t…

I use my anger at the man. I paid off my loans early because I wanted those institutions getting as little of my money as possible.

If you’re REALLY curious, you could rent a ground-penetrating radar before you have to do any digging.

My parents bought in a mob town. Buried in the yard, we found, among other things, a police baton and an old fishing reel wrapped in burlap. I’m convinced at least one was used in a murder.  

This is what I use. It has a built-in strainer and I love it.  Tbh I don’t keep mine in the fridge.  I’m wild and crazy that way. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BCSQ2FX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If it says a drizzle I do just enough to coat the bottom of the pan, BARELY.

It’s getting so much attention because it is so dramatic. Just like no one cares about the aging infrastructure of the NAS until something happens, like when that guy lit the Chicago Center on fire.

Human factors is a huge area of study and goes into how hardware, software, processes, pretty much everything in aviation is designed. IF the crashes were caused by the lack of clear manual override, which hasn’t been determined yet, it’s likely a human factors failure on the part of Boeing’s design of their new…

Literally anything that requires me to move quickly into different positions. I have the WORST spatial awareness, especially for how my own body moves in space. So I need time to adjust my body into a shape, or risk injuring myself. When I first tried yoga I HATED it. It HURT. Then I found a class more in the Iyengar…

I did a 5 year loan on 0.9% interest and a cheap, reliable car. It was around $500 interest on the life of the loan, and I got $500 for being a new grad, so I called it a wash.  When the loan officer said something about reselling the car in 5 years, I literally laughed in his face because I thought he was joking.  He…

It really depends on the store, and I’ve noticed it’s more common at stores that tend to be in food deserts. I was appalled the first time I shopped at a Food Lion, but there was no other option in the area. The bell peppers were individually shrink-wrapped.

I actually got that one from /r/roadcam.  Something about trying to stay as far away from erratic drivers as possible, they’re late for an accident and you don’t want to be there when they arrive.

Same. I don’t even have a particularly high-res dashcam, but anything is higher res than human memory.  The audio portion can also be useful - if you witness anything, you can say the license plate #, make, model, description of the driver, etc, out loud to have a contemporaneous record.  I actually sometimes do this…
