It might be easier to compromise on a two-shelf unit or find one that fits a shorter cabinet and put a spacer in.

Tin foil, trash bag, bucket cut into the shape of a hat?
Or just buy some curtains. Or tape up some tin foil. Or wear a sleep mask.

- Comment on White House website publishes a page on "socialism". They think it will scare people to hear that if we tax 1000 billionaires, $355,000 worth of benefits will be distributed to 150,000,000 households. 1 day ago:
$355,000 per family over a ten-year period.

Investigation concluded, so he was investigated and held accountable. Suspended for one semester, couldn’t have been that serious. He was punished for what he did. It was ten years ago. Seems to me like the problem was long ago dealt with and resolved. At what point should people be allowed to move on and be forgiven?
Why are we so angry about this but not the rapist in the White House who still hasn’t been investigated or held accountable?

A Great Reset only really needs to consist of maybe 100 people. As long as you pick the right ones, you’ll solve most of the world’s problems overnight.

Good looking out, edited.
- Comment on The one episode you'd share to get someone into Star Trek 2 days ago:
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one.
That episode reminds me of the true story of someone who fell and hit their head. They were in a coma for a few hours or days. When they woke up, they were asking for people no one had ever head of.
Turns out, in that time they were unconscious, they lived decades of a life that only existed in their mind. The people they were asking for were their spouse and children.
They had to go to therapy to mourn the loss of people and a life that were only real to them.

Both of mine are from TNG.
Drumhead - Data is placed in trial and his humanity is questioned as Starfleet attempts to confiscate him as “property”.
The Wounded - Very relevant today. A Starfleet captain destroys a ship full of Cardassians on the basis that they’re preparing for war.

- Comment on What is your interesting fact or knowledge that is completely useless that you wish to share? 3 days ago:
The specifications for all varieties of “9mm” cartridges (9x17, 9x18, and 9x19) actually call for a projectile with a diameter of 0.355 inches, which is actually 9.017 millimeters.
Similarly, the specification for .38 Special calls for a projectile with a diameter of 0.357 inches.
If you measure the barrel of any firearm chambered in any variety of 9mm, .38 Special, or .357 Magnum, you’ll find that they’re all ostensibly .35 caliber (0.350 inches).
Why? Well, the simplest answer is, things aren’t always what they’re called. In the world of cartridge designations, there are many, many such idiosyncrasies; these are only scratching the surface. I find this interesting because many people perceive cartridge designations as being very uniform, logical, and standardized, but the actual truth is far from that.
In some cases, the number is even made bigger just to make it sound more powerful, such is the case with .460 S&W Magnum, which is a more powerful version of .454 Casull, which itself is a more powerful version of .45 Colt, all of which actually fire a projectile with a diameter measuring 0.452 inches.
- Comment on the only thing that never trickles down is the money 3 days ago:
And we’ve known it for nearly a century. Before it was called “trickle-down economics” it was called the “horse and sparrow theory”; if you feed the horses more oats, more will spill out for the sparrows to eat.
Problem is, everyone already knew “horse and sparrow theory” was complete bullshit, so they needed a new name, and “trickle-down economics” was the one they chose.
People are falling for the same trick by a different name.

You don’t hate Paul Dano, you hate his character, and that’s because he did such a great job. If you don’t think Paul Dano can act, then you’re not familiar with his other films. Go watch a few others, then come back to TWBB. You’ll see why so many people like him.
- Comment on Bean boys this week 6 days ago:
After a thorough reading, I’m confused as to how we settled on the misspelling “tiddies”. The singular form is “tit”, the shortened form is “tits”, the original meme uses the correct form, “titties”.
How have we gone astray?

When a host is infested by multiple parasites, the parasite which extracts the most from the host before the host dies has the greatest chance of survival.
The point is to extract as much wealth as possible so they can survive in bunkers after they’ve ruined our planet’s ability to support life our way of life as we know it.

But by the time you add enough beef and noodles to it, there’s not enough spice and it’s all bland. So you gotta add extra spice. May as well just cook.
