it's definitely not just Alexa, as I don't use that and mine's filled in. It has pulled stuff from reviews I've left, in addition to my purchase history. creepy.

I know but I couldn't resist. And now I wish months were names after animals, not whatever mixed up nonsense we have now

this was how we learned we needed a new roof /right now/ (we'd known the roof was old, but hoped it had a few years left in...it did not). water dripping through the light onto the cutting board. good times.

I passed a pop-up protest on Chestnut near 32nd this morning on my way to work. There were news crews! I was happy to honk to support the protestors.

I want the opposite. cozy interstitial stories set between the Reacher novels. Reacher goes to the gym. Reacher hangs out at a cat cafe. Reacher finds that dog a home. I should probably poke around AO3, these must exists already...

I really like the "decidedly intergenerational crowd, made up of children and a whole lot of former children" framing.

did the sun just explode?
(it's night, so we're not sure)

top panel:
1: This Neutrino detector measures wheather the sun has gone nova.
2: Then it rolls two dice. If they both come up six, it lies to us, otherwise, it tells the truth. 
1: Let's try. Detector! Has the sun gone nova
detector: [roll] YES. 

Panel 2:
Frequentist Statistician: The probability of this result is happening by chance is 1/36 = 0.027. Since p < 0.05, I conclude the sun has exploded

Panel 3:
Bayesian Statistician: Bet you $50 it hasn't.

so I placed an order for 2 stickers on the 27th that's still showing as unfulfilled - any chance I could cancel that and get in on the promotion? (I can't figure out how to modify or message you through the website/order, sorry)

My cat loves the one we have, but yeah, fragile. Discovered the hard way it does NOT do stairs, so the new one is a basement only toy.

I did a cursory google but got the usual mix of AI slop and not-that-pattern. No worries if it's not available! it is a very cute pattern, I have too much yarn, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask :D

welp finally failed my save roll against your cute 3d printed stuff. dragon egg lamp!! tiny castle! Also, curious if there's any chance for the pattern for the dragon/egg crochet to be an item?

secondhand and pick the biggest size that's not hazardous. In Philly we have lilypadphilly.org/consignment-... a couple times a year, I have scored a couple $3 coats that way (one was stained but fine, other had a broken zipper I didn't catch, but, eh).

I'm currently hunting for a replacement for mozzarella in my sandwiches, as age has hit me with lactose intolerance this year and for SOME REASON the only thing the lactase pills don't work well on is fresh mozzarella, which is sadness either way (not eating or eating and experiencing consequences)

I have spent most of my kid's life wondering how the human species survived prehistoric times. How do you parent a toddler around an open fire 24/7? Nevermind predators and sharp objects.

My human child did this! We joked about how he was a noodle, had no bones, or was floppy. Was great.

The kind who's starting with a premise and bending all evidence to support that, rather than actually researching. (prompt was in part 'describe how company paying me isn't at fault'). so more of a tobacco company expert witness than an actual scientist.
