Musk's response to that question would be "first responders get paid?!"

Orientation for the Graduate School begins in twenty minutes.
I am officially nervous.

@npub1kyd…jltj
I may have told you this, but I appreciate you putting CWs on your boozy posts. Seeing or reading about a drink isn't triggering or a threat to my recovery (at least, it hasn't been yet) but it could for a lot more of us than not. I've always thought that sensitivity was very kind of you. 😊

Nah. 250 LBS seems too weak for a cow. Goat, sheep, pig, though...

Does anyone know what to look at in the manual for an HVAC system to tell what kind of filters it's rated for?

Edit: I'm trying to figure out the highest MERV rating I can get on my filter. I'm worried about mold.

Weird last words, but okay.
You want I should do anything special at your service?

Today I did my own taxes for the first time in my forty years on this earth and I'm deeply unhappy about it, but not for the reasons you may think.
The blindness had progressively slowed her down, but creeping dementia has now made it impossible for my accountant Grandmother to do them and -she- is deeply unhappy about that. This was one of last remaining things she retained control over as our matriarch, and all she could do this afternoon when I went to get the returns from 2024 was cry.
It is so hard to watch your heroes get old.

I've never encountered pie that wasn't good, but even pie that could be better has value because it is still a vehicle for whipped cream.

Now that the semester is over, I suppose I can let Windows update itself.
Wish me luck. I'll miss you all.

My therapist told me I need a hobby, but I don't think they give those out to 40 year olds anymore.
How does one find a hobby? Do people just wake up one morning and say "I'm going to put on a pair of roller skates and see what happens!" and claim that as their hobby if they survive?

Has anyone warned the new users from BSky that we hate the NYT and WaPo around here?
I feel like they should know.

I came here to warn you that someone was inevitably going to tell you to switch to Linux.
I see I'm too late.

I had to change my password at the university so my life is over and I'm having the worst day ever.

Speaking of people I haven't seen in days. Manfred has been allowed to return to the land of the living.

Okay, drinking milk outside of infancy and milk of another species any time, then.

Why is drinking milk okay is a question I've been asking for a long time.

Can we stop calling it "trade deals" and start calling it what it really is: extortion.

Eh... I don't see how you got there. The comically bad messaging machine that the Dems are perennially hamstrung by is the fault of things like the DNC. If anyone keeps shooting the Dems in their own feet, it's the DNC. But, right or wrong, the unaffiliated leftists that sat this one out are higher on my shit list than the MAGA types who did exactly what they were told to do.

For what it's worth, my assertion is that Dems are to blame for not figuring out a way to win in an environment where this feckless crap is what gets the electorate ginned up. 😊

Squeaky little cat.
Squeaks at this and that.
And then becomes an ongoing study in lighting.

They're releasing these cosplaying commandos back out on bail. My money says they are going to crack down on the masking public instead of the fascist LEOs getting off on hiding their identities while on government business.

I never understood why people comment back at you on your news posts. What are you supposed to do? Change reality?
I appreciate you!

I've hat a hankering for whore pasta lately so I'll probably give it a try soon.

It's regular sized. I didn't think about scale. My bad.
It's a pasta fork.

It took me a few minutes to figure out what and why this is. I can't attest to it's efficacy but it's certainly neat looking isn't it?
