Ok, this is one of my causes… go on YouTube, search for your washer and skip any videos that say “top ten washer repair tricks, #8 will shock you…”. Most modern appliances are plug-and-play components that, if you find the part, can be fixed with a $20 part and a screwdriver in under an hour

The saddest thing about Trump's Kennedy Center obsession is that it's absolutely simple for rich people to get their name on a prestigious building. The Donald J. Trump Pediatric Cancer Research Center could open tomorrow if he spent just a fraction of his wealth, but that's not how he's wired.

It helped me to remember that the twisted bastards I was making rich were spending a portion of the money I gave them trying to convince my kids to smoke. Refusing to give those wealthy greedy bastards another penny has kept me going for a year and a half. Bitterness can make you strong!

My profile pic is of Major General Smedley Butler, the man who probably saved us from the last attempted fascist takeover by the Epstein class, and who, in a just world, would have a statue on every army base. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley...

So, has anyone ever seen a Salisbury steak in any context other than a Hungry Man frozen dinner? Like have you ever seen one on a restaurant menu? Ever shown up to a dinner party with a casserole dish of them? Or does your family hand down a cherished Salisbury steak recipe?

That’s really cool, love the integration of kobolds into the life cycle. In my eternally unfinished game world, I decided the dragon’s personality determines it’s color and breath weapon, not visa-versa. So after a century of anger, a formerly gold young dragon might turn red.

A new D&D Barbarian subclass I've been working on, the Path of the Rhythm: a barbarian who loses themselves in music rather than raging. Really hungry for feedback, good or bad! #dnd #ttrpg #homebrew #barbarian

We bought a 114 year old house, love it to death but if a year goes by without something major and expensive cracking, clogging, sparking or sloughing off, we count ourselves lucky. I’d say if you’re not at least marginally handy don’t go bear anything older.

Automobile safety. Crashes are waaay more survivable than they were when I was a kid, even as speed limits have increased. Air bags, crumple zones , seatbelt laws, collapsible steering columns, blind-spot detection, backup cameras- all big improvements. Now REPAIRING cars, on the other hand....

The only talent “Tech Bros” have is inserting themselves between you and a thing you need, then exploiting both you and the product. They’re like vampires, but not sexy ones.

Two people I’ve never met, and would happily jump in front of a train for. Not, like, a full size train, but definitely one of those at the park that toddlers ride on.

(Speaking from experience- in the 90s I was animating video games, collecting obscure role playing rule systems, doing performance art pieces and drinking obscure German beers at Von Stuke’s Brauhaus. Absolutely no one wanted me in their bed.)
