I had to google it…I think he’s referring to the Burning Man term for “Matter Out of Place”. So I think he’s agreeing with you that this link doesn’t belong in this community.

All the arguments below, but I’m pretty sure it was a joke. He’s drinking it on the way home instead of the way to work. I laughed.

I would add, to the first 2025 entry, that Bondi said there was a list, and it was on her desk for review in February.

I kind of enjoy the times that Maga realizes they’re being lied to.

Now he is pushing for tariffs against Russia. And he finally seems to be figuring out that Putin doesn’t want to stop trying to conquer Ukraine…a point the rest of the world understood immediately…years ago.

If a doctor is always going to check it, what’s the value of the AI?

Maybe they were busy with actually important things?

What?

Was the TV just resting on that ledge?

With a good router, it’s not that hard to do. But even then it took me a long time to get around to setting up the separate network, and I don’t think I’ve migrated all of my devices over to it still (some got moved, new ones go there, but there are some older devices still sitting on the original network). So, yeah, there’s definitely extra effort, and it’s not really fun like getting that new smart device integrated. I will say the stuff on that network works perfectly - I haven’t noticed any side effects.

Oh I did allow them access to the pool ntp server so they can pick up the correct time, and some require temporary access to the internet while setting up (the linknlink RF device needed it to download the Home assistant version of their firmware, for example).

I know. Stop worrying about your computer and install Debian! It just works. It updates without a problem.

When I install a new application, I generally run it immediately. Having the new indicator might be nice to help find it - they don’t always drop into the menu where I expect.

I agree, I can’t see why it upsets the author so much. “You’ve installed a new app, here it is.” “YYYEEEAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!”

She actually survived several years after that incident, but she was never quite the healthy cat she was before we moved. Unfortunately she ended up in the animal hospital again at the height of the pandemic, and it was so bad that they were letting us into the building to see her. She was there over a week, and she just wasn’t getting better - and even if she had recovered, it wasn’t a cure; it was just recovery. In other words, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t be back there again in a few months with exactly the same problems.

I heard they were playing “Fortunate Son” during the parade. If that’s true, it HAS to be intentional irony by the DJ. There’s no way anyone could be THAT clueless… right?

The song is about how the singer was drafted to serve in Vietnam; he didn’t have the connections to get out of it. “I ain’t no millionaire’s son.”

One of our cats had a serious medical issue, we think a blood disease caused by a tick bite (we had just moved to a new house, and we think it was already in the house - she was an indoor only cat). One night as she was recovering, she started attacking her own tail. This is something that can happen to cats who go through a trauma like this. We tried to distract her from it, but it didn’t work.

The next morning, we discover blood all over the house. She got her tail bleeding and then proceeded to walk around the house. Our bedroom, my office, the hallway, the stairwell, and every room on the first floor.

I worked on cleanup while my wife took her to the animal hospital.

They tried to bandage it, but it never worked, it would start bleeding again when the bandage was removed. We had to have her tail docked.

Poor kitty. She passed away in 2020 (she never really got well after that initial incident, unfortunately). I still miss her!

If Dear Leader kicks the bucket due to health issues, which is very likely…

This is what we said after 2020, and here we are.

I know the reaper will show up for him someday. I was hoping he’d keel over at the parade today, but so far I’ve heard nothing along those lines.

But Billy Joel seems to be right: Only the good die young.

My in-laws’ dog tripped me a few years ago - I had her and our dog in their backyard, trying to get them to play and work off some energy. I started to run, because that always gets my dog going, and their dog ran in front of me. She’s a large dog, maybe 50 lbs.

I somehow kept myself upright, but I rammed my elbow into my own ribs in the process. It hurt for weeks!

This is so absurd, but I love it.

Of course I’m standing in our garage watching a thunderstorm that just flooded our basement, with more storm on the way, so maybe it’s just stress.

AI: “I know you typed cp, but I’m sure you meant rm…”

I don’t go to social media because I want to hear what AI says. I’m here for the conversation with other humans.
