There are zero objects in this photo that look like guns. I guess AI hasn’t figured out how to do guns yet.

S03E04: Bart the Murderer. Bart forgets his permission slip to go on a field trip to the chocolate factory and has to spend the day licking envelopes with Skinner instead. On his way home he falls off his skateboard and into Fat Tony’s bar, where he quickly wins favor with Tony and becomes part of his crew. Skinner goes missing and everyone thinks Bart and his new friends did it. He was actually trapped in his garage under a stack of newspaper. Edit: licking, not picking

Or false metadata so that Russia launches a bunch of ordnance at an empty field.

I bought my wife’s ring from Diamondère. She wanted a sapphire and they have a lot of non diamond options.

A housing crash is only bad for you if you’re either outright selling, or moving to a less expensive house.

S25E15, The War of Art.

Lisa gets a Guinea pig, who is a bit of a terror, and burrows through the iconic sailboat painting. Homer buys a similar painting from the Van Houtens, which turns out to be worth tens of thousands of dollars. After a lot of fighting about who should get the money, it turns out the painting was a forgery all along.

S16E03 Sleeping with the Enemy. Marge feels unappreciated by her own kids so she has Nelson move in so she can dote on him. Lisa is having issues with her relationship with food and over eating, she tried one bit of frosting to see if she’s over her issues. She is not.

As much as I’d like to laugh as any Russian military stupidity, the aircraft in the picture doesn’t appear to have propellers attached, so it’s likely in some form of maintenance. Without the weight of engines and props, any strong wind over the wings is likely to move the plane around quite a lot. Putting tires on the wings disrupts the lift and helps keep the plane from moving around in storms.

I was really hoping that Lemmy was going to be safe from the nonsense “Nobody…” format. I guess not.

Your ordinary juice apples are not the same type of apples used to make cider, generally. Cider apples have a lot more tannin, and are generally inedible. The tannins in cider apples help give the cider depth, which would be lacking in regular apple juice. I have had luck in the past brewing up very strong tea to add to store bought juice, but it’s still not the same.

Very true. It does very occasionally do some strange things, but then we just either disengage the autopilot, or change modes to something simpler while we try and figure out what went wrong (it’s almost always that we’ve made a mistake).

Airline pilot. Surprisingly low technical knowledge required considering how computerized airplanes are.
