*coughcough*There's something ELSE that also happened in 1971...*coughcough* https://wtfhappenedin1971.com

Some of it is that they have done the same thing to CPI that they have done to unemployment numbers. They keep making changes to what is counted and what isn't. Right now, IIRC , CPI is calculated off a "basket of goods" and they won't really tell people what's in the basket, but we do know...

Wasn't this just "part 1" of the season? I wonder if they're setting her up as a horrible person to try to add weight to her "face turn" and redemption arc in the second part of the season. Or was this drop the whole 1st season? Would be a riot if they stopped the show at this point and are...

I had a non-kidney cyst on my hip/groin area. In treating that they did a CT scan and saw the kidney situation. So I suppose lucky in that regard.

So it only took like a month for the specialist urologist to see me, say he needed to talk to a radiologist, talk to them, and get a response. Positive? They're both pretty sure they completely take care of the right side with an ablation (with biopsy) and it would be an outpatient procedure...

In this day and age almost every dr has a "patient portal" which almost always supports file uploads. And almost all devices still have a working USB port on them. heh I've done this. Varied my dinner choice the night before, so they got a monumental morning poop.

Is her bra on backwards in this pic? Or she's like an owl and has turned her head around 180 so that's her back? Right? because if not, then we need to face the fact that I probably have a nicer rack.

See, that's the difference. For some people sex is an activity that leads to a good endorphin/serotonin burst. For you, it's obviously something which has more emotional attachment and significance, which is honestly perfectly normal and healthy (probably more healthy than the "purely...

No, but to be completely honest... If it ever got to the femcel "this has to get fixed" point there are "free agent" options if you wanted to have a "BFE", and those guys you're literally paying to make sure you get your walls properly rattled, but that's another story. heh I'd say right now...

First, as mentioned, you're not bothering anybody around here, and honestly being able to vent these things and get the responses of other randos you know on the internet is pretty much the charm of this place anyways ;) Second, the recommendation to get laid sounds like the old sports adage of...

This is what I've had to learn over time. Now I'm far more of a DCA adherent. Know what you feel will appreciate in value over time, invest in it regularly, when the money is there make the purchase. Trying to play "I have the money there, but I'm waiting for a market dip" is the gateway...

Oh yeah, visually I get it. I saw someone who did a print of the Planet Express ship from Futurama in a copper infused filament, then put in it, I believe, a mild vinegar soak to cause oxidation and got a fantastic green patina on it. For me, it's that more of what I print now are for...

Yes, but also there are levels to it. There's "ready for some bad things"... all the way up to "I'm off grid, wholly self sufficient, and building my own alternative society and militia". You can always strive to cover the points you can on the list, be as prepared as is possible for you, and...

Found this interesting...

Well, I have thought about this. I'm not sold on the idea of metals within filament for FDM. Since you'll never actually melt the metals, it's just powder suspended in plastic. Possibly good for visuals/appearance, but that would mostly be it. I'm more interested in what I'm seeing with...

The fact is I don't think anybody on this board is in a position to have any truly "not priced in" intel or alpha on any stock. I work for a company where we have open and closed trading windows for our stock as block against potential insider trading around the earnings announcement windows...

I will say I am still seeing "lower highs and lower lows" on the daily for BTC, which is not the trend one wants for profits...

I think this covers is... (and tagged in an apropos way for today..)

I see it as this board is a gathering of autistic gibbering shitheads.. But they're MY gathering of autistic gibbering shitheads, and I don't deny being one myself.

Been a while since I remembered my duty to provide quality potato based content....

Yeah, I'm gearing up to get a new set of wheels for the wife. I know what she wants (nice/luxury compact SUV or maybe compact wagon). Searching around, finding the various makes/models which fit. And it's become obvious that people are not just "leasing a car for a year and turning it in so...

I think the markets have, for the most part, figured out how to trade around Trump and Tariffs. It will take some abnormally large event on that front (like China tell Trump to F off and moving on Taiwan) or a black swan level event outside it , like Iran pulls an underground nuclear test out...

Did a second run of polishing (First round was progressive sanding up to around 1000 grit, then a 1000 grit with wd40 for a wet sand, so today I did a legit buffing run on it with white polishing compound. Got to a near mirror state on the top and bottom. Also added a "handle wedge" (the wedge...

I'm just happy they're killing the playoff LTIR loophole.

Can't remember if this one's been here or not...

In the US it's completely normal that if you request a copy of your imaging they burn a CD. In my folder I have for my current kidney situation I have 3 CDs. Each time I am going to see a new Dr, I simply copy the contents of each into a subdirectory on a cheap thumb drive and give it to...

3k in this round... Almost 20k in the last 2 months. And it's not the individual layoffs, it's the things they're doing in restructuring internally that are more worrying. I know some people in sales over at MSFT, it's not pretty, getting uglier, and MSFT seems sure "AI will smooth out all the...

This is beyond that and it's a trend that happening across tech companies now. Slews of new high level executives are all of a certain "type" and the new strategy is cutting costs by all means. It's also a resurgence of the belief that "With a spreadsheet you can manage anything, if your row...

Did the polishing I wanted on it. Nicely reflective now, not a perfect mirror finish, but close enough. Also realizing that if this doesn't end up being a maul it might make a nice hood ornament. ;) Definitely has some flaws, but I can see what caused them and how to work around them...

Blood is in the water at MS....

I guess so. I think the furthest down that path I've ever gone was being on the "higher than is natural for your age" Testosterone. I did the pellet thing for around 10 years. And they would show me the numbers and talk about how to boost for "someone my age". I asked them "Why not boost me...

On the topic of the leg cramps, how's your potassium level? I had that problem off and on and just started working in a banana every other day and it cleared my "wake up screaming with cramp/charlie horse" scenarios... I had what I will call a "very Persian dr." who did my first cyst removal...

So my question is how are these weightlifters who are apparently willing to play guinea pig with their bodies getting all this stuff that's , in some cases, even pre-clinical trials? NGL though, if they pan out and don't kill folks it would be a game changer for a lot of people.

It would make sense to keep it and rent it with the mortgage being "cheap money" assuming you can swing something workable to live in. But I'd say to keep having the right home around you, and your sanity, above a good rate. ;)

So I went out to water things in the back yard today and this was essentially my reality with my two dogs.. Except that then they discovered phase 2 of hose which was..... The rotating water sprinkler.

That's great news! Good to hear you're making that forward progress, even if it's little steps at a time... That's what matters. Sounds like a lot of positive "you time" to boot, which is almost never a bad thing. If not moving in with the parents a consideration might be if selling the...

Jerky Bar.... Fudge Bar... Fresh made brisket and BBQ sammiches.... Wawa isn't in the same league, not even really in the same sport. Unrelated :

Yeah, I'm reading some analysis which is pointing out that the market is acting like this whole thing was for public show and a ball of inconsequential brouhaha over the weekend. I'm hoping they're right. And since I still see a bright future for BTC, I'll consider it dropping a little a...

So on the topic of these new "Not-xbox but kinda really xbox handhelds".... @Mrs. Haus is leaning towards wanting one of the better ones since it would let her apparently play the whole of gamepass, plus the whole of her steam library on a device she could carry around. Is that a legit use...
