We saw one called World's Greatest Head Massage that is amazing tho. Some Indian dude doing a head massage while thowing around "Cosmic Energy" or some poo poo - annd there's a whole series of people just going to this guy to get that same massage.

It's as weird as gently caress but eh. Harmless and funny.

I've learned where my irrational need to save things now comes from. Holy gently caress- a day and a half later and I've only sorted about 5'x10' worth of poo poo. Unlike moast hoarders, she has drawers, and used them. You might have a junk drawer- but EVERY one is like that. Matchpacks half gone, and notes on receipts, of yesteryear's birthday cards, home sale paperwork from 1998. Browned receipts, baubles, and strings. These were a few of her hoard-worthy things.

Emotionally, I'm still numb. You kind of have to be to hold someone as they die, or so I'd hope. I just want to get this done so I can get on to the next crisis.

I don't plan on keeping this one, sorry guys. She definitely needs some vet care that I can't afford at the moment.

Someone on Nextdoor said this cat has been roaming around my apartment complex for several months, they think she was left behind by someone when they moved out.


I've actually lived in an apartment, of all places, that had the vent hood actually vented outside. Never anywhere else.

If you lived in Houston, I'd have an extremely hard time not being at your place with a cat carrier within the hour. I want my Doogie back.

Because I read SA at work, and this kind of thing gets linked, I push all my web traffic through an ssh tunnel rather than let it hit the corporate proxy for logging.

Added advantages: I circumvent the over-zealous content filtering system (yeah I'm sure this Linux blog post is full of porn, guys) and I can use the same setup when I'm on public wifi.

Maybe instead of making a 4-panel strip and a 2-panel one, he could make a single 6-panel strip that actually finishes up the joke, jape, or jest.

Regarding TV chat, I recently watched The Expanse and enjoyed the poo poo out of it. Good mix of hard sci-fi and detective noir. Good writing, good characters. Best thing I've watched in ages that wasn't Fury Road for the 10th time!

That was good, and Mars (on national geographic) is pretty interesting. Not great, but it's interesting.

I don't see it hurting the seals any more than the oils you put it in there to dissolve, and most of it would flash off before you even closed the lid. I know I'll be rebuilding my pump from all the grit I put through the wash long before that's ever an issue.

And really, aren't most of the seals nitrile or silicone? at least in the newer stuff

just noticed at lunch that my Crown Vic is leaking oil again. It doesn't seem to be the just-replaced oil cooler hoses - it seems to be coming from above them, so either I didn't cinch the oil filter tight (I did), or the brand new oil pressure sender is leaking. I couldn't tell without getting it up higher and crawling under.
Whelp, it'll have to wait until Saturday. It's cold and dark when I get home. I'll just drive the RX-7 or keep a close eye on the oil level. At least the heater is fantastic on the '7 (the two things rotaries produce most is noise and heat. Occasionally shrapnel.)

ASMR isn't so bad. Someone just talking in a soothing voice can be relaxing. I'll put one on to help me sleep once in a while. I don't get tingles, it's basically white noise to me. Same as rain, thunder, birds or whatever.

If they're nitrile or silicone, I guess. The stuff I use is mostly acetone in a spraycan, and it does seriously gently caress up some rubbers as well as PVC. Makes PVC wire insulation look like spaghetti after a few minutes exposure.

BITTER POOR PERSON
At-fault driver finally called her insurer back, although to punctuate how lovely Erie Insurance is I found out when Enterprise contacted me saying the insurer had arranged for a rental car.

Had to call them back to find out if they finally reached her or if they were just putting me in a rental car to shut me up - I told a supervisor earlier today that I would be calling every day until there was some kind of movement on my claim.

Got my rental from last Friday moved over to insurance coverage, now I can relax until after the New Year.
