Is anyone going to the Yorkshire furs summer party this weekend? It's my second furmeet in about 15 years, curious if I will actually know anyone there!!

I only wanted to cook a pizza ;v; A tiny broken plastic clip on the black timer bracket in the middle was preventing me from turning on the oven. Said part is not available on its own and requires the replacement of that whole front panel for £230!

Rebooting the land rover rebuild project with some new shiny parts!! Having spent far too long trying to save the rotten bulkhead I've decided to cut my losses for the sake of moving forward otherwise it will never get done.

Shopping for a car and it's frustrating how little effort dealers put into listings now. I shouldn't have to trawl through badly taken pictures looking for signs of only two packs that are offered. Happy to upsell other services but can't tell me if it has a panoramic roof etc

Put a friend in gryph and sent him off around the con. It's fun being 5 paces behind your own suit and watching friends reactions half way through a hug when they look up and see me stood behind.

Ugh, apparently I didn't quite fully drain down the outside pipework last time and the latest cold snap claimed a casualty. Also perfectly positioned to absolutely soak me when I opened that ball valve to turn the hose on. ;v;

With Christmas and Hanukkah both several days in the past and many new toys already seeming kind of boring, the kids will be looking to be entertained. Affirmation Coyote suggests throwing sticks. Kids love chasing sticks!
Three coyote pups in an enclosure. One is lying down with its head stuck through a red rubber ball. Another is looking at the camera, grinning, a paw resting on the reclining pup's back.

He is looking back over his shoulder at the viewer, smoking a joint and has a beat-up acoustic guitar slung over his back.

Ugh, fuck you tyre sealant that's not how your supposed to work!!! Not like it was a huge puncture either. Deleting the space saver spare was the worst thing car manufacturers have done.

Another mindfuck is realizing that decision about some aspect of a massive company. There wasn't some process or jury. There's just Some Person that decided most of it. And when that person is you, you get it. People come and think a choice was some huge deliberation. It wasn't. You just... decided.

Did you use limewire and how bad did it fuck up your computer?
An assortment of dwarf hamsters use an early 2000s gateway desktop to pirate music using LimeWire. The hamsters are interacting with nostalgic y2k clutter across the desk, such as eating Bugles, chewing on CDs, playing with a tamagotchi that says “kill me”, and eating pop tarts.
