Houses in my neighborhood are selling as soon as they hit the market, and yes, my neighbors are real people and are actually the homeowners. The family that just moved in next door are immigrants, the wife is a manager at a logistics center and her husband works nights at the local Amazon warehouse.

I used to find these with my cousin all the time in central Illinois and 40 years ago (ugh, how is that possible?)... Haven't seen one in a very long time though.

My dog just watched me pull a raccoon out of my fireplace, now he just keeps looking at me. I can only imagine what he thinks just happened.

I read this in "The AI's Voice" from Dungeon Crawler Carl.

In other words, those who can afford it pay. Now those who can't afford it don't get punished.

I'm just impressed they were able to milk a bird!

It's possible, but that is the same thing people say about trump, that since he has money he isn't beholdened to anyone. Anyone can be over-leveraged, especially the rich.

Yes, happens quite often and not just with coffee, but also soda cups.

Typically it's lotion and my wife is allergic to Bath & Body Works lotions and has had full blown asthma attacks from a cup being handed into our car.

Good thing water and electricity can't be used to harm kids.

Princess Donut approves

This was almost my first car: the Geo Metro convertible.

If I'm remembering correctly the weight capacity of this car was something like 350 pounds, which meant that my dad and I wouldn't have been able to ride in it at the same time. That wasn't the reason I didn't get it (it was used and had been wrecked and the radiator was held in place with Bondo)... I really wished it would have worked out.

I went on to get a 71 VW Super Beetle. I like cute cars.

My 13 year old Subaru has 3 oil leaks and requires a quart of oil every month. And I just had to drop $1100 to fix the AC after it not working at all last summer.

My wife's 12 year old Subaru sputters to a stop if you brake too hard with the AC running. It also burns oil (always has) and requires a quart every other month.

I can afford new cars, there just aren't ANY that I want due to privacy concerns.

I have a 3 year old MacBook that runs my local LLM and Image Generator. I read this article from the perspective that the new PC chips would be for people who want to run their AI locally, but I suppose you're right, Microsoft is going to push their Copilot as hard as possible.

List of jackets

• Hoodie, a zippered hooded sweatshirt (non zippered can be considered a sweatshirt only)

That clears things up... this jacket is a zippered hooded sweatshirt.

Wait, that resolves nothing!

Businesses really do hire the absolute cheapest they can so it doesn't surprise me that 300 companies had 'thousands' of employees who were actually North Koreans disguised as Americans.

But how sure are we that this isn't just the plot of the next Greg Daniels project?

I thought "lol" was short for "Just wanted to let you know that I'm a millennial so you can better understand where I'm coming from with this comment."

Does it have a different meaning?

I saw once in the wild last week and it was wrapped in silver vinyl. That seems like a necessity for these trucks.

So, being sexist is ok, but being racist isn't. Got it.

What a great article! Very informative and easy to read.

The telescope sounds cool too! An 8.5 meter mirror?! And it's designed to be able to recoat it over time!

Thank you for providing a link to his art. I would like to think that he would prefer to be remembered by the link you provided rather than all the words used in the original story.
