Do people with larger bodies have more blood than people with smaller bodies? Would it take longer for a larger person to succumb to blood loss? Yes, I’m watching Reacher, how can you tell?

When I refer to a ball game, that's baseball. Other sports are played with balls, but I don't call them ball games.

My version of "if I'd been there on 9/11, I would have simply stopped the hijackers" is that I think if I were a reporter in the press corps, I would go out in a blaze of glory by telling him he's fucking insane or at least asking an actual question

I just saw a homeowner who has one of these signs out doing yardwork while I was walking Higgins. Higgins didn’t make any noise. Just walked. I looked her in the eye and cheerfully said, “good morning!” She just looked at me and didn’t say anything and then looked away.

Basic website design standards are out the window for the balloon fiesta app. -warn me about dates before I buy tickets, but I can't select a date? -event maps have no way to locate restrooms (search or icons) -app doesn't store your ticket or warn you to save it from the browser it opens

I got my COVID and flu vaccinations today! Nothing makes me happier than protecting what's left of my one wild & precious life. I worked like a dog for 40 years to get to retirement & I'm not about to fuck it up now. That said, I feel like crap & I'm going to bed. Catch you on the other side!

Most of the words I read are domesticated and raised in books and articles, but occasionally I find words out in the wild. These are my favourites.
A yellow wall, on which somebody has graffitied "DIRTY EGG SCENTED WRONG PERSON"A large wall alongside a canal, on which someone has daubed in letters several feet high "LOVE ME"A handmade sign on the side of a country lane on which someone has scrawled "PLEASE BEEP TO TRY MOVE THE STUPID BIRDS OUT THE WAY THANK YOU"A brick wall on which somebody has spray painted in black letters the word "Teeth". There is no other context, perhaps it forms part of a territorial turf war between dentists?

This is crazy to me! An interview with a source is a whole experience with its own context that won't necessarily be apparent from a recording of the conversation... Especially if that recording is being mined by an LLM by someone else entirely. It feels like very bad practice.

brother printer just sits there and doesn’t make a peep until i tell it to print something and then it prints it and shuts up. and when your toner is low it says “toner low” and then it prints anyway and it does that for a long time before you notice the blacks getting a little ghosty

Perhaps you might enjoy a dahlia to celebrate Friday.
Unusual dahlia flower. It is bicolor, with larger pink streaked outer petals and small ruffled yellow inner petals that resemble a chrysanthemum.

Every time some pundit claims that no one would work if their basic needs were met, I think about how, after he retired, my dad would just show up at estate sales with his truck and offer to help folks take their furniture home because he just wanted to keep busy and be around people.
