@npub1lgd…e4sf I like the tiny cityscapes. They're a peaceful interruption.

@npub16ju…y8u7 There's often a small gap between the window frames and the house itself, which can be more easily drilled through for coax cable. Later repairs can be done with caulking.

@npub1uw8…88kr My first thought on seeing this story was "space junk" but maybe something fell off a truck.

I'm looking at this profile picture for a mastodon account that is following a lot of people, and I believe it is generated, not real.
My wife and I have been trying to count the number of things wrong with the photo.
can't see index finger on the hand
sides of glasses differ
can't see glasses arm through the lens
can't see car's back window or seat
can't see right ear or whisp of hair
odd seatbelt retractor
odd camera? strap on one shoulder

@npub198t…hasj I'd like to get merged broadband from two competing companies, in hopes that failures would affect only one company at a time.

@npub1cus…6789 I would not recommend eating the same thing at every meal, no matter what it might be.
It's just that there is no need to get the balanced diet at every meal – we have the ability to store vitamins and nutrients to average out the supply.

@npub1cus…6789 This looks perfectly healthy to me. You don't need to have broccoli with every meal.

@npub16ju…y8u7 Am I reading the price correctly? The VAT looks like it will nearly double the price of the loft latch.

Do house flippers have a trade association or something where they can find the latest trendy things to do to a house to inexpensively make it sell for more?
We're looking at house listings and seeing repeated odd upgrades like barn doors on the bathroom and the kitchen breakfast bar that just shout FLIPPERS!!

@npub1gaj…78dz i think most webcams work with software that you already have.
If you don't need it to be very portable you could use double sided tape or 3 M velcro command strips to stick the camera to a brick.
Edit: I have one attached to a window this way so I can check to see if we have visitors when the dog is barking.

@npub1gaj…78dz The webcam you've linked to appears to have a small threaded hole for a standard quarter inch camera tripod.

@npub1cpe…m4xc @npub1k4q…3lsq I think the whole prosperity gospel stuff is based on a very few lines about a guy named Jabez, who worshipped god, trampled everybody like a modern oligarch, and got super rich.

@npub1gr8…c639 The seeds will overwinter, so maybe they've been waiting there a while.
You can collect seed after the frost gets it and plant more in the spring.

@npub1503…uxwg Somewhat off topic, I have seen gatherings of owners of Citroen 2CV cars, and I have owned three Saturn vehicles without attending the reunions.
I continue to lament the loss of the Vue to a yellow light runner.

@npub1cus…6789 The date on the food packaging is meant to help the store do stock rotation.
I've had brand new cans that bulged. I've had perfectly good yogourt lost in the back of the fridge for months.
You can't trust the expiry date.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 Has anyone checked to see if Fox viewers believe these stories?
I have a faint hope that most people approach it the same way we used to approach supermarket tabloids like the Weekly World News with the hilarious photos of a hunter holding up an obviously photoshopped enormous grasshopper.

Joking aside, the "baby boomers" you are insulting as not knowing anything about computers were also the people who invented the internet.
The oldest boomers born in 1946 had careers from about 1966 to 1998. Youngest, born 1964, from 1984 to 2016.
Aol started in 1985
Netscape in 1994
Geocities in 1994

I was on Twitter going down a series of replies to block all the rude ones, and then twitter logged me out and won't let me back on.
Maybe there's a rate limit on blocking? I was counting and had gotten to 268.
I'm feeling better already. 😘

I had a bit of an accident with the shopping cart on the Princess Auto web site, so the dog is going to be happy to get extra dog toys, and my friends are going to be surprised to get 10" Christmas pipe wrenches.
