Somebody knocked on my mom's door pretending to be a deliveryman, collecting information on who in her mobile home park is on medi-cal.

Smells like GOP/ICE shenanigans...

Today we were visited by an avian surprise. A vulture! Apparently there was a dead rat next to our house.

Well thats... sudden

Has there ever been a war won by the nation that started it?

We've now confirmed with guest services that the bulding we're staying in doesn't even have an ice machine. The only way to get it is to call house keeping so they can bring it from a different building.

Wtf, Omni

Why is it that the more expensive the hotel is, the harder it is to find the damn ice machine?

Found in the womens room at Valentina restaurant in Encinitas, California.

Presented without comment.

The delorion had a literal fusion reactor strapped to its back. Surely, even in the 1800s, the Doc could have fashioned a powerful enough motor to drive the car way faster than a train could.

Ah yes, those famous Moroccan Amazon recruiters.

Message CVS with clear instructions about needing a medication escalated. Did not check the button for a callback.

Get phone call two minutes later: "How can I help you?"

I dunno, by reading the fucking message?

Theres a metaphor for social media, here

Anyway, I've been thinking about this show a lot lately. Feels like programming without AI is going to be viewed the same way woodworking by hand is viewed today. A quaint hobby.

Found it, apparently the show was actually called The Woodright's Shop. I swear to god I remember this shop having the Old Yankee sign hanging outside.

I'm hitting a mandala effect. I swear there was a show on PBS in the 80s called "Ye Olde Yankee Workshop" where a man built things exclusively without power tools using 19th century woodcutting techniques.

But all my searches turn up is "New Yankee Workshop" from the 90s, which was in a completely different workshop with nothing BUT power tools.

LOL, I forgot about this. That one time I accidentally applied the spin class to a button instead of an icon within the button.

This was not an easy headline to parse

Near the beginning of Abbadon's Gate it mentions that one of the refits that they did while docked at Ceres was to remove a bulkhead between two cabins so that Jim and Naomi could have a larger shared bed.

The design on the show doesn't make this possible, since each crew cabin is separated by other infrastructure.

This design does allow for exactly 12 beds, where the book said it could have "over a dozen crew", but I suppose a military ship _could_ often have shared bunks.

Went looking for a fan depiction of the Rocinante as it is in the books. Most of Mars' ships are referred to as flying bricks, and in Abaddon's Gate the ship is described as "a fat chisel" with domed protrusions.

Quite a bit different from how it looks in the show. It nags at me fiercely that the TV version has no space for all the food the ship would have to carry for the months it spent traversing the outer planets.
