Bob is a massive unit just like our Hieronymous, who looks like a big chonker but is actually ripped to gently caress and could easily kill something four times his size if he wasn't the very template from which the phrase "Scaredy cat" derived e; lol your bookmarks must be pure filth

I thought it would get them fired up. I have video somewhere of them trying to get into the screen when we put it on the main tv. But a lot of the time they just chill and watch for ages.

Bobstar posted:I made bagels from scratch today and they were very tasty and better than the New York ones I can't get anymore. Using these things I bought years ago and just found in a cupboard. That was me. Thanks for the recommendation, our local hardware store has reopened so I'll take a gander. I'm also having similar problems with my tension pole shower curtain - stayed up for months even when I was taking the curtain down for its monthly wash - now, just won't stay up for love nor money nor any amount of superglue, double sided tape or anything. But I really don't want to break the bathroom tiles which were new just a year or so ago when the previous occupant's executors were tarting the flat up to sell. ronya posted:Warning: even if you have a brick or concrete wall, these nail anchors will often not reach deeper than the plaster. For any pictures heavy enough to justify it, crack out the hammer drill and put a real anchor in. Luckily most of my pics are quite light (unglazed).

The fruit picking stuff is hilarious. Hardly anyone is gonna do it and the few who do will quit in less than a week because the labour is back breaking for awful pay. I do a poo poo job which is no better than fruit picking if i'm honest but at least it's very convenient and easy compared to that.

You can replace them or (if you have plenty of time) disassemble them and replace the springs re: pics; I stand by my previous suggestions to just be generous with the tape if one is going to rely on tape. The amounts on dinky 3M Command hooks are just insufficient.

Seems like your're not meeting your pillaging target and your looting and murder KPIs are well below what we expect, additionally your lead pipe technique is not compliant with our blugeoning best practices. We have scheduled a meeting with your line manager, Lord Ultramurder, to discuss this following your yearly performance review.

For anyone who used to roll in from the pub on a weekend circa the turn of the millennium, stick the telly on and be amused by irreverent late night video review show VIDS, my lockdown project of getting (almost) all the old episodes off source disk and online is now complete. Its a shame they had to be nudity-censored and content-edited to keep inside the YouTube guidelines, but better than nothing.

Jippa posted:So is watching garden birds calming for a cat? I thought it would get them fired up. It fires mine right up, to the point it's the way I get him off my lap when I don't feel like being a bastard and moving him - just send it from my phone to the telly and he goes from completely asleep to alpha predator without any intermediate steps (then remember to turn it off before he tries to pounce on the screen). The funny thing is when there are actual birds in the garden he doesn't seem to give a poo poo, possibly because I think quite early on in his time with me he realised what utter bastards the blackbirds who nest in the tree down the road are.

https://twitter.com/paulmclem/status/1263927805299044353 Okay I know this is getting close to Russia Brain, but this really does seem weird. I'll accept that *maybe* "Cummings" runs into the Scunthorpe problem, but you'd think at least "Dominic" or "Number 10" would appear.

Two names that are *only* being mentioned alongside Dominic Cummings, but at far less frequency than Cummings himself, make it onto the trends list but not Cummings or other keywords turning up a lot in those tweets? e: And right now "Giles and Mary" is showing up after less than 20 tweets in an hour, compared to 20 posts a *minute* mentioning "Dominic Cummings". Also try searching for Dominic Cummings and see what auto-complete suggestions you get. ee: Okay that's it, I'm going full  on this now because 7 of the 30 top trending topics in the UK right now are about this story but none mentioning his name. "Durham" is trending but not "London to Durham" despite almost every post mentioning the former is in the form of the latter. There are definitely specific terms being suppressed here.

To be honest I'm not sure I get what's so bad about what Cummings did given that supposedly both he and his wife had severe coronavirus and a small child. Like, surely either him going somewhere or people coming to him constitutes essential travel in the circumstance?

Yeah they weren't great. But still better than the ones you get in the supermarket here, which are in the part-baked section and taste like dense bread rolls someone made into a bagel shape. And cardboard.
