How do we feel about this? Article makes it sound like there will be a greater emphasis on deëscalation and oversight, but is that enough of a change?

Now I tell Yo-Yo Ma jokes, which are much classier.

I saw a post recently about how the family cartoon Bluey was very good at showcasing Stoic behavior, even though it wasn't labeled as such. What are your favorite novels, essays, songs, or movies that showcase Stoicism in the modern or postmodern eras?

My answers in the comments.

This is one of my favorite songs off my Xmas playlist. The Michael Martin Murray original is also good, but I prefer the sound of the Killers' cover, and the video only makes it weirder.

Also one of the best descriptions of American folk dancing in popular media.

Atomic Robo is a comic book, mirrored on the web, about alternate history. In this arc, the eponymous hero has been sent back in time to the Old West... where he finds an old enemy who hasn't met him yet.

Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there's no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.

If you're interested in gardening or ecology, the entire Solarpunk instance (slrpnk.net) is full of great munis for you. Here's all of those plus some from other instances.

I'm not from California, so I don't know much about her; but this genuinely surprised me, especially how vicious and vitriolic the comments were. What's going on there?

I can't remember how I first came across this song: My wife says I played it for her, but I remember her playing it for me. The important thing is that we both love it, which believe you me, is not all that common.

I love it because it's rollicking and high-energy and earnest. I eventually looked up the lyrics (which are in Catalan) and it's a pretty normal love song with some nice sentiments, but the passion and desire come across in the vocal tone, even through a language barrier.

If you like Yo La Tengo or The Magnetic Fields, this song will probably hit the spot for you.

And if anyone has more music that sounds like this, send it my way. I'm always expanding my library.

Years ago in a thrift store, I found the perfect pants. The formal look of slacks but without the obnoxious vertical slit pockets. The stiffer fabric and sensible pockets of jeans but with a more genteel cut. I now know these were golf pants, and I wear them every day for work.

I have an upcoming wedding, semiformal, indoors. I'm not in the bridal party, nor am I escorting anybody in the bridal party. Can I wear golf pants to this event, or do I need to go buy slacks, or even a full suit? I'm not opposed to buying a suit, I just want to know what my options are.

Edit: The specific pants I wear to work are these but I might buy something a little nicer for the event.

The last FIVE times I've ordered a tuna salad sandwich at a diner, it's been just tuna, not tuna salad. This is very upsetting, and for the sake of preveserving my marriage I'm not able to just make tuna salad at home. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Places I know I can't get one:

• Margie's Candies

• Bridgeport Coffeehouse

• Moon's Sandwich Shop (Western & Madison)

Please. It's been so long.

I'm in Chicago, on the West Side, with two adjoining lots of uncertain history.

The lot I live in had no garage going back several decades, but I pulled out a foundation for something smallish when I laid down sod after moving in; and when I dug the posts for the fence (and raised beds) I found not one but two brick patios, one about six inches down and one about eighteen inches down. Also a lot of garbage, car parts, old clothes, and plastic.

The second lot has a sunken area with a footprint the same size as my brick four-square. I don't know if the limestone foundation is still down there. We filled in the area with wood chips to keep down weeds and reduce the likelihood of falling into the hole.

Right now we're gardening in raised beds, but I'd like to get to in-ground planting eventually. What do I need to watch out for, what do I need to do, and what plants can I use to pull any heavy metals out of the soil over the next few years? I know sunflowers work if you get them out by the root, and that's great, but is there anything more low-profile or more physically manageable, especially something native to the area?

She wrote inside: "You're the best parents I ever had".

I'm so proud of her.

Right now users here can only choose English and Undetermined, preventing us from interacting with content in other languages. There's a lot of Spanish speakers in the Midwest, any chance we can expand the language list?
