Android users, what podcast app do you use. I'm currently using Google's but they're gonna shut it down in April I figured I should start looking now so if I don't like one I can try another.

Hulu has Walker Texas Ranger in it's entirety now, and I might be enough of a sicko to dive in...

I also thought Oppenheimer combined the bomb development and commie pinko persecution storylines in a super clunky way that made it drag on, and it feels like they should have just picked one to focus on individually

It's snowing for the first time this season, and carrying on the tradition from last year, it's just heavy garbage slop

I missed out on The OC but I'm aware of its cultural impact at the time.

It's one of my guilty pleasures because it's so ridiculous and such a time capsule of that era

Yesterday we were forecasted to get 6-12" of snow, but instead it just rained all day and I had to shovel an inch of slush off my driveway

First shoveling of the day finished (shovel gang.) I'll have to do it every few hours to prevent this neutron star-rear end snow from exploding my spine.

Snow plows took out my mailbox last night :(

But I just got done shoveling the snow and now I just have to wait until all of the slop turns into ice because of the arctic blast!

Does anyone have a generator for their house? I am thinking getting one mainly to power our furnace when power goes out so it doesn't get too cold here. Is it something I can hook up and configure myself, or do I need an electrician?

There's also whole house battery backup systems now that could be a decent option too. You'll need an electrician to install a transfer switch which prevents you from back feeding into the power grid.

Speaking of cg, I watched Masters of the Air and I hate how the cg looks. Everything is tinted blue and fuzzy, the reflections are too perfect, and it just reminds me of the lovely end fight scene from Die Another Day.

gently caress, taking calculus based physics in a condensed, online-only form factor may have been a mistake y’all. Just drowning in impostor syndrome while I’m just loving sweating through every homework, test and online lab.

Every class for an Engineering degree is basically going through a bunch of calculus to get a long list of equations that govern specific subjects. It sucked (I went to school full time while working full time), but the important part is building up your analytical approach to problem solving, which is way more important of a skill to show than a GPA literally no employer will look at.

I knew an ER supervisor who told us a fun story about a patient who was an announcer at a monster truck rally and accidentally got run over during the show. Apparently he was projectile shooting fluid from his eyeballs multiple feet into the air.

Like, right after he got run over, or later when he was in the ER?

At the ER. Madison people might remember the incident from like a decade ago.

The ER guy brought it up because he was so desensitized to seeing crazy poo poo at work and was unaffected in the heat of the moment, but if he cut his finger or something at home it would make him queasy.

I've always been fascinated by all the crazy nuclear tests the US has done. My favorite is the underground test done to free up natural gas deposits (yes, literal nuclear fracking) that worked exceptionally well. Then they realized it made the gas radioactive which made it useless.

And tangentially related, the rocket JPL tested that used straight up mercury as the fuel.

Anyone here a shopping cart puller instead of pusher at the grocery store? I just don't get it.

I went on my grocery run this week and the store had all brand new carts with pistol grip handles on the ends of the normal handle. I don't get that either.
