Warrior.

I seem to want to protect and defend things. Plus I am big and strong.

I'm a little bit rogue though, as I tend to overlook rules if it gets the job done.

And mage? I am bright but terrible at book learning and arcane sigils.

LuxeBidet is the model I got.

Totally entry level, hooks up to the water supply to the toilet tank. No heat or special features, stupid easy to install. Price around $50.

To my mind, no need to go more expensive until you know more what you might want.

I do have an aunt and uncle who got an expensive toilet bidet unit with heated seat and all the features... after having tried my bidet while visiting.

Plus with the cheap unit you get the bonus of hearing the startled yelps of your uninitiated guests as cold water hits their asshole for the first time.

I am identifying obstacles to making this clinic able to operate without being overrun by lawsuits.

I am not at all opposed to workarounds - it's why I am pointing out the obstacles. We need to update laws so that minors have bodily autonomy.

In my opinion, that's the legal solution. It doesn't mean there aren't other ways to make it work that Mamdani might embrace, because as a mayor he cannot enact that kind of legislation in the first place.

There was a terrible standup bit that I loved. I believe it was from An Evening at the Improv.

Guy is doing a bad private eye shtick: "Either this man was stabbed to death with a spoon, or his entire body is breaking out in little smiles."

I have searched online for the clip for literally over a decade, and I know this because I searched once a few years ago and found... myself asking the exact same question on a forum a decade earlier.

The unfortunate reality is that not having that policy would mean 80% of their funding would go to legal defense for lawsuits from aggrieved right wing parents who have outside funding for their suits.

Until the laws state clearly that minors can make their own medical decisions independent of their parents, this is the correct decision. And even in that case this clinic would still be under attack.

Reality still sucks, and we still need to keep trying to make it better. Mamdani is a ray of hope, but he isn't in and of himself hope incarnate, nor is he a perfect ray of light.

He's just human. So are we. He's trying to make things better, and so can we.

I watched video about it (from the Astrum channel I believe) and they speculated it (or any of the six related Russian spy satellites) might be downloading a large packet at the nearby GPS frequency so it wouldn't be spotted.

That's just in addition to assuming it is intended to block the GPS range entirely.

As discussed in the latest Taskmaster podcast with Ed Gamble and Kumail Nanjiani, Joel Dommett is legitimately about to release a line of men's skin care products named For Skin.

Man, I am so glad my eye doctor told me it wasn't worth it rather than just taking the money!

The answer is that Lasik isn't a cure-all.

I had the same experience. My vision was getting kinda bad and I wanted Lasik. I went to an eye doctor, and while I am farsighted in the left eye, the right is 20/20.

Lasik would fix the farsightedness, but having that in one eye is an asset for driving. So now I have driving glasses and won't worry about Lasik.

Basic recipe at: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/no-knead-bread/

I now add a tablespoon of diastatic malt powder and knead it a fair bit for the 2-3 hour version.

Baked at 450F for 30 minutes top on, 5 off.

The browning on the bottom (in the comments) is not burning but delicious caramelization. The diastatic malt powder causes the crust to brown with sugars.

Will add a picture of crumb once it is fully cooled.

 

Best pizza I've made yet. Diastatic malt powder is a real game changer.

 

I was honestly curious if there was a link between the two terms, not a scientific one.

That said the number of participants in the study makes it a little questionable.

 

I'm a 50 year old dude, never cared about sports. But my wife got into PWHL last year and I started watching with her.

It doesn't have the toxicity that I've seen in so many male dominated sports. We're Minnesotans, so of course we support Frost.

Late last season we were watching a game and while the game was tied, our (Minnesota, not yet called Frost) team wasn't making as many shots on goals as they usually did, and I said that.

"What's going on? Why is Minnesota lagging in shots on goal... WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, I'M MAKING OBSERVATIONS ABOUT SPORTS STATISTICS!!"

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.

 

Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.

She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.

She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.

She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

 

I've been a fan of They Might Be Giants for most of my life and have always been surprised that people universally disagree with me on this.

Linnell's songs tend to be quirkier but also shallower. (State Songs is a good example here - there isnt a song for every state and theyre often abstract to the point of meaninglessness. I expected such a project to have more inspiration behind it.

I've always found Flansburgh's more melodic and thoughtful, slightly better composed, and with a superior singing voice.

Of course they're a great duo and they play off each other's strengths. I don't dislike Linnell at all, just the songs that he sings tend to not be my favorites.

 

Said by one of my two DM friends to me while we were in a pizza joint together.

"Dude! Context! We are in public."

I have a bountiful life of riches. I run two games and play in three. Just a problem finding time for them all.
