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.

Someone had to row all those rocks over to that island to build that.

Picture of the day
McDermott's Castle is situated on Lough Key lake in County Roscommon in north-central Ireland. It was built in the 12th century on what has since been known as Castle Island. Though the isle holds several structures which date to various historical periods.
Did you know that an estimated 30% of Ukraine's territory is contaminated with mines and unexploded munitions?
This is why we have launched a project to train and donate fifty explosive and mine detection dogs to Ukrainian authorities; and nine of them have already been paired with Ukrainian dog handlers.
πΎ We're proud to support this important contribution to making Ukraine a safer place for everyone.
@ScottSoCal I read that as vagitude and now it's stuck in my head πππ
The Fortress Of Vegitude. You can put it on that flat beam, above the doorway.
After enduring an onslaught of wild critters getting to my vegetables before I can pick them, I built this fortress last Fall.
A 9'x18' fully enclosed garden. Β½" screen top, sides, and bottom. I was also going to arm it with photon water guns but figured it would be overkill.
I may indeed finally be able to enjoy one of my mortgage lifter tomatoes this year.
Also... I want to give it a name. Any ideas?

Legally stole it. Anywhere in the US, if you're traveling with an excessive - and they get to decide what's excessive - amount of money, it can be seized, under the assumption that you must be a drug trafficker. It's up to you to prove you're not, and even if you prove it, they aren't required to give it back.
I prefer locally-owned stores, when I can - more of the money stays in the local economy. But in SoCal it all seems to be chains. The closest non-chain place I've found is about an hour away.

#German vice-chancellor 'deeply ashamed' by lack of military support
Robert Habeck has apologised directly to President Zelensky for Germany's apparent sluggishness in responding to the Ukraine crisis.
Mr Halbeck was meeting with the President as part of bi-lateral talks during a visit to Ukraine.

People don't think about online shopping that way, though. I went into a local pet supply chain, Petsmart, to get parrot pellets. They were out, I asked a clerk, she told me I could save time by buying it online from their website, and have it delivered to my house. I told her no, doing that tells Petsmart they don't need a local store, they can close it, fire the people working there, just sell online. She looked surprised - she'd never thought of that before.
@StillIRise1963 Certainly one of them. Online shopping was another. Yeah, it was convenient. Convenient for monopolists. America's decline didn't start with Amazon, but sure has helped decimate cites and towns across America. We don't talk about either. Which is partly why I believe so many young progressives can only talk about human rights and power differentials. It's really all they hear about from thought leaders, today. The Fediverse "might" change that. Might.
The sad thing is, they could have put a space in there to make it clear, but they chose not to.
So I'm pretty sure it means they sharted, and they want everyone to know.
Today in 2014, Orunamamu died in Calgary. For decades she worked as a teacher before retiring.
After her retirement, she began traveling around North America, using storytelling as a performance medium, saying storytelling demonstrates the humanity in every culture.
Listen,luvs . I'm going to "like" a toot I read.
The writer should know their toot was read. It's the least we can do for each other in my opinion.
How many times have you read toots about people that feel they are not being seen or "no one reads me so why bother?"
So yeah, I'm liking toots and if that makes me not cool or old ..well, okay..and by the way I still say pocketbook too.
Trump Indictment Malaysian perspective
Americans are understandably excited about the #TrumpIndictment
Just want to say that in #Malaysia, we have prime ministers who ARE in prison, WERE in prison or HEADING to prison.
You can say that we're highly experienced in the field of sending our leaders to jail.
Malaysia boleh! π
