  i got one that somebody was giving away for free. It was in rough shape, but still usable. I used it a couple of times before closing it for the winter. When springtime came around and I was ready to grill again, I was surprised to find a nest full of eggs. We watched the babies hatch, grow up, and leave the nest. Now we just keep it as a bird nursery.

  actually, since all life descended from the ocean, Aquaman does have some slight mental influence on humans.

  Methane in Earth’s atmosphere mostly come from cow farts.

  Methane in other atmospheres, as far as we know, doesn’t come from alien cow farts.

  There’s a bunch of stuff that’s made by life, but it can also be made by not-life.

  And we were pissed when we were forced to make one!

  My Steam account is older than some of the newer people I work with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans Are Using PTO to Sleep, Not for Vacation—Report⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, we don’t have distinct PTO and vacation days. everything falls under PTO, which can be anywhere from 0 to 30 days a year. Most leaning more towards 0, while government jobs lean more towards 30.

  Some employers may also offer a certain number of sick days, but of course you wouldn’t want to waste your sick days being sick. you want to hold onto those in case something happens. If you aren’t lucky enough to be graciously provided sick days, a lot of employers will just dock your PTO for the day if you need to call in sick. So again, wouldn’t want to waste your off time being sick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube will restore channels banned for COVID and election misinformation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m having a hard time believing that the Biden administration was some tyrannical anti-free speech censorship regime (can you imagine?). I remember the White House wanting a meeting with the social media platform owners at the time to discuss concerns of COVID misinformation that was literally killing people, and they didn’t say anything about being forced to until Trump won the election. This stinks of shitty lip service to the current administration.

  At least someone did.

  Sure, but that’s not the dunk you think it is.

  Another person being Ms. Rachel, who has continuously been targeted by the conservative media ecosystem extremist views like children in Gaza shouldn’t be killed.

  Her “selective quoting” being Jesus’s statement that the most important commandment is to love your neighbor. Which he then goes on to refute a completely different verse.

  Bringing nuance to the conversation is appreciated, but like a lot of Kirk’s shitty statements that have been popping up in the past week, the full context somehow makes it worse.

  By the way, he did actually say that Jewish money was ruining our culture and loved throwing around the “cultural Marxism” white supremacist conspiracy theory.

  By the way, he did say that Black women didn’t have the brain processing power to be taken seriously, and that they took the slot from a more qualified white person.

  Those are the kinds of statements that embolden hate groups to take action, whether that’s knowingly enacting policy detrimental to targeted populations, or threats of violence or actual violence against the. What’s being celebrated is that he no longer has the means to spread his shitty messaging.

  Nah. Just sat there, no life in his eyes or anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming out of my depression and starting to exercise again because an evil tool just ate floor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but the heavy compounds and dumbbell exercises have made their way back into today’s standard bodybuilding training.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming out of my depression and starting to exercise again because an evil tool just ate floor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Powerlifting is a sport where participants compete to lift the most weight across the bench press, barbell back squat, and deadlift. The typical training regimen includes those exercises and similar secondary movement patterns. Machines have a place in isolating weak spots.

  The type of gymgoer you’re referring to doesn’t really fit into a “category,” but “gym bro” is close enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming out of my depression and starting to exercise again because an evil tool just ate floor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about? Powerlifters primarily do compound barbell movements, the ones that use the most stablizing muscles. Are you thinking of the people that only do isolation movements with machines?

  Regardless, while it’s harmless silly fun, I’d the weight in those cables is light enough for him to be able to do a Fortnite dance, then it’s not really creating enough of a stimulus for strength gain or muscle growth.

  Even more curious is that was also the last thing he said.

  He was a father, which means now his kids have a slightly better chance of not growing up to be complete pieces of shit.

  Could be a military member stationed there. A guy I work with is one of those 4chan “libertarians” and had nothing but “horror stories” about living in Germany. Same guy is terrified to venture into the local major metropolitan area or take the light rail system.

  Because it’s not about quality or efficiency. They only see it as a cost-cutting measure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO 26300⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was in college and I needed extra time on a paper (because I procrastinated too hard), I would deliberately save the .odt as an incompatible .doc format and submit it. Which gave me at least as much time as it took for the professor to let me know they couldn’t open it and ask to resubmit.
