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.

With practice, you can also use "OK" to be "You're completely full of shit, but I'm not going to argue with you." Leslie Jordan perfected it in the movie Sordid Lives.
Also, I can scale the intonation of the "ok" to fit how truthful I feel comfortable being.
"ok."
"ok..."
"ok!"
@justyourluck Really sorry to hear this. Sounds like folks there haven't experienced very high temperatures before.
Tips from an Australian:
- stay indoors
- if you must go outside, carry a spray bottle of tap water and spritz yourself frequently
- apply 30+ UV cream to all exposed skin
- walk on the shaded side of the street
- shade yourself with an umbrella
- wear a broad-brimmed hat
- do not get into a car that's been parked in the sun
- drink a LOT of water, around 2- 3 pints in 8 hours
- if you stop sweating, it's a medical emergency.
- if there's no aircon, drape wet towels over yourself
- to get more from your aircon, limit the amount of space it has to cool by turning off some rooms/ shutting doors
- if the aircon is not enough, turn on a fan as well
Stay safe, people.π
It's considered a safety setting. I also changed the setting the first time I had a power outage in the middle of the night.
The downside is that turning the wall switch off and on won't affect the lights, if they're not responding to signals from the hub. Like when your wifi goes down.
Shortly after midnight I woke up because a bright light shined directly into my eyes. I got up, totally confused and realised that all the lights containing the dimmable Phillips Hue lamps were shining at maximum power. This happened because of the settings in the hue app on how to react to power failures. If you are using these kind of lamps, maybe you should check the settings too.
American Evangelicalism: For when you're a shitty judgy wrong prick but you don't think other Christian sects are racist or Nazi enough.
Fuck Jason Aldean,
and if youβre a fan of his,
Fuck YOU, too.
Be a better person.
Listen to Tim McGraw; heβs a decent person whose art, music, and values are more in line with Americaβs best qualities and greatest promises.

It used to be you could hit the back button, then the episode, and it'd start to play. The "fixed" that, so it just goes back to playing commercials.
A commercial is a commercial, I don't care if they're selling panty liners or another show, it's still a commercial.

You know, Nixon called Watergate a witch-hunt, too.

Who'd a thunk it?

But I'm not going to point any fingers.

With his "if the president does it, it can't be illegal" was at least fascist adjacent.
You ever feel like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, and the sky is full of shoes?
@ScottSoCal @KimPerales Here's an excellent resource on sundown towns for anyone interested in learning more.
James "Loewen started working on sundown towns in 1999. Having grown up in Illinois, he knew he would do more research in that state than any other, simply owing to his familiarity with it. He anticipated finding maybe 10 sundown towns in Illinois and 50 across the nation. He had no idea." https://justice.tougaloo.edu/sundown-towns/
Many people are surprised to learn that ants sleep. Even more surprising is the evidence that suggest they may dream (RAE is a sleep state found in ants and bees chattered by Rapid Antennae Movements and possibly similar to the REM sleep in mammals)
Ants sleep frequently and in funny locations. Generally they will rest their thorax and gaster on the ground, fold their antennae and be very still. They nap for 10min up to an hour. Queen ants will sleep for up to 4 hours at a time.
