LOL, that’s his whole schtick for nile blue :)
The first time I saw the reaction, I was shocked it’s so close to my closed eye hallucinations

I see pulsing waves of color, even in pitch black rooms. When I was little they were bright as fireworks, now, depending on the night they’re either just vaguely waves of purple, grey, and blue or sometimes electric blue and white.

Having a great uncle Bubba myself whose real name was something word out of Dukes of Hazard, you’re definitely not wrong.

Shit. Can you imagine half the bingo carts we’ve seen since then?
I mean, you’re in the 80s and 90s and 00s, we were all blabbering on oh this would never fly back then. Yada yada, but since COVID… It just seems there’s been a never ending stream of what the actual fuck.

The Putin part might have been an inside joke if they were aware of some blackmail. Then again, if he’s blackmailing people… he’d have to be quiet about it… and it sure as hell appeared he had some kind of leverage on Trump around his rise to the presidency, we just all assumed it was russian tampering.

What…?
It has indeed been an amazing news day.
My bingo card says Bubba was someone else, but not any less creepy and it being Clinton does make this the greatest timeline for now.

Home pools here are almost never saltwater.
We simply add chlorine tabs until the pH is the correct color on the strips. Even if we knew it would be 62.4 lbs of salt, it’s not like you can buy a 62.4 lb bag of salt.
But yeah, it is a lot harder to do applied math in the US, which is why science here went metric :)

thought: Find something strenuous or stimulating for the youngest to do an hour before bedtime, could even be learning. Sometimes the right amount of exercise before bed wears them out enough to stay sleeping.
thought 2: noise maker, ocean sounds or rain playing in the room can keep them from popping out of light sleep when they hear sounds from the rest of the home.
Wife and I split AM/PM duties. I do 6am and drive the eldest to school, then come back and prep the youngest before I go to work. but my youngest is order than yours, that mercifully tends to improve with age.
It’s better if the house duties are shared as well, but some people have different situations. If your partner is able but won’t meet you in the middle, there’s counseling. What often bites you in the butt is if your partner is depressed. Depressed people fail to engage; it becomes almost contagious as you try to pick up the slack and fall to it yourself.
Finding a better job with less hours can be part of it. Sometimes you need to look outside your familiar area for work that pays better, that’s assuming you can afford to move or find a job willing to pay you to relocate. There’s also more WFH jobs out there than ever before.
- Comment on And now I'm reminded I have two of these to repair. 1 week ago:
They run off batteries, using either isotope decay or light sensor (or both)
I actually have one hanging off my ceiling right now, it’s battery was fine, but it tripped likely due to dust or a spider on the optical sensor. It went off at 2am, network sent them all off, took me 10m to find the right one I wasn’t about to just blow it out and out put it back on the ceiling :)

I see a Vet who lost his house, is in the process of losing his healthcare, and just feels like he needs a win on the bad investment he’s doubling down on.
- Comment on She's out of town and I'm cleaning her entire collection as a surprise 2 weeks ago:
get the grill ripping hot outside (500 degrees)
put cooking oil on a paper towel and swab the whole cast iron pan
Throw it on the grill until it stops smoking
pull it off, let it cool a little and swab it again (super thin layer)
Throw it on the grill until it stops smoking
repeat until you’re happy with the color

This is about instagram/facebook/ticktok demonitizing for sex/drugs/violence/harm because advertisers won’t put their money behind that for fear of a religious call to cancel.
Sadly, we’re just getting thriftstore memes.

That’s actually the key, this was posted in a NJ hotel. (it’s old Reddit but i was there when the bombs dropped)
They’re worried about locals renting a room to defile trying to keep stuff out of their house.

For us, we use slack huddles when there will be too much back and forth. 30 second audio call, supports screen sharing.

The best part, is it was a New Jerseyan that made it.
Trying to keep people from renting local hotel rooms for nefarious or dirty things.

The immediate interruption is good for management, but bad for the company overall.
That’s why we still have Jira/email.
Critical importance: slack/in person
Can wait but important: high importance email, P1 Jira
Not important: Low impotance email, P2 Jira

Getting answers for questions have turned from 5 minute thing to 10-40 minute things.
That’s an administration problem. Sure people are busy, in meetings or at lunch. But if someone is always 40m away from answering a work slack/chat they’re a candidate for replacement.

It works better for some people/orgs than others. My company worked in a Google Meet for 6 hours yesterday in a war room, cracking jokes, socializing, with most cameras off, mostly just voice chat and the occasional screen share. We got the job done, we had fun, and people came and went. The cool part was that we had different disciplines together that wouldn’t sit together. Shit, we had people in 4 different time zones, not even all on the same continent.
Now it’s the next day… do I want to do it again today? No. I’m an introvert and I’m all out of spoons. But the next thing? sure!
AND I saved 1.5 hours of commute and 60 miles of gas/tires/oil
