I don't know if this belongs here or not - it was my cheat project. When we bought our current house we needed a buffet for this niche in the dining room, but couldn't find anything we liked and fit and could afford. So I cheated. 3 custom kitchen cabinets screwed together, and I built the top and base out of a matching maple. I thought it would do until we found something. That was 20 years ago.

@johnnyprofane1 @eric @actuallyautistic @actuallyaudhd @actuallyadhd Is it sad that I don't remember which terrible person Roger Stone is at this point? I think it's a bad thing.
Any female-presenting person of a certain age who's taught long enough has had students absentmindedly call them "Mom."
Today, amid a rather frenetic last-day-before- the-draft's-due class period, one of my #PhlEd seniors looked right at me and, all unconsciously, said "Alexa, how do I cite..." before he heard his own words and froze in horror.

Saying this again: Black voters have determined the last three Democratic presidential nominees, but you donβt see media outlets working hard to interview them in diners, and find out what this important demographic actually thinks.

Today's sharp jump looks like a "buy a block of stock today to push up the price"
The ongoing fall is ongoing.
When women forgo paid labor as a Tradwife or Stay-at-home Girlfriend (SAHG), they take a huge economic risk. Financial dependence=loss of power & control. And in reality few couples can afford it. 78% of US millennials are dual-career couples. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/24/the-rise-of-the-tradwife-and-sahg-why-some-women-opt-out-of-work.html
@Porpentina2017 If Obama had stolen classified documents, stuck them in the bathroom, and refused to give them back, Republicans would be demanding the death penalty. No exaggeration: they would literally call it treason and unquestionably demand his execution.
Now then, where's that note from the missus reminding me to do something or other?

Whether you like Israel or not, there is no way, US politicians would come together and deliver this package without aid to Israel, simply because Israel is a strategically important ally.
What really matters is, Ukraine is getting an enormous allocation of resources now, on top of all the aid already provided from the UK, Norway Japan, and EU countries.
Russia has not been able to take Ukraine during the 6 months delay, and now really powerful weapons are coming to help Ukraine win.

Holy crap.
As someone else who came out of the Midwest, I hope I meet Marc Andreessen someday so I can personally invite him to eat a family-size bag of Flamin' Hot-flavor dicks

Exceptionally preserved shark #fossils from #Mexico elucidate the long-standing enigma of the #Cretaceous elasmobranch Ptychodus https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2024.0262
"#Ptychodus has long been a classic example of teeth in search of a body... Now, they report it was likely a close relative of todayβs great white sharks and crunched on hard-shelled creatures with unique grinding teeth"
βAmerica must stand up for what is rightβ, says @potus Joe Biden, as he addresses the world after signing the military aid to Ukraine, and a 1 billion dollar humanitarian aid package for the civilians in Gaza.
The lessons learned from vile Elon's fall from esteem, are not financial, but the financial lesson is astounding.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
