The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI

So while I was posting this it turns out my gf in fact in the other room with the hacksaw, and I had mostly posted all of this to try and dissuade her from getting the hacksaw out and use a more subtle approach but long story short we have gin now

So I in fact am too drunk to actually deal with the situation right now but tomorrow me and the gf are going try various approaches including a neodymium magnet, a soldering iron and a hacksaw, will let you know which one worked, thank you for these suggestions, which I'll digest fully later.

This was honestly SO helpful for the level of strong magnet required, so many people are saying "strong magnet" with no indication as to the kind of level of strong required

Lol my gf has a hacksaw, she's feeling very validated right now because that was her suggestion

Another Angry Woman @stavvers.bsky.social · 2d

Honestly, this was my girlfriend's immediate instinct, I am hoping for a more peaceful solution

I can tell that it's meant to be deactivated with a magnet, I just don't know if it has to be a special kind of magnet; a fridge magnet just sticks on it jauntily. Retail workers and shoplifters, tell me how to do this.

Okay internet, I need your help. bought this bottle and in the chaos of the self checkouts the security cover wasn't taken off. How do I get into this gin? Helpful answers only plz. (I promise I didn't steal it, both me and the self checkout guy just forgot deal with it)

The underside of the security collar on aforesaid bottle. If I could properly describe what I was looking at and how it worked I wouldn't be asking the internet for advice on breaking it

This just in: I took the gloves off after prep then just fucking squished them into the pickling jar with my bare hands and now I'm burning under my nails too.

Half my face is numb I look like I've had a stroke and I don't think it's healthy to eat any more butter than I already have to try to fix my hubris chomp.

Turns out that first one I tasted was a dud and the rest of them are normal heat.

Another Angry Woman @stavvers.bsky.social · 6d

They were so tasty, I took a less cautious nibble of another. A chomp, in fact. About a third of the pepper.

Another Angry Woman @stavvers.bsky.social · 6d

Picked this year's scotch bonnet and had a cautious nibble on the end of one to check the flavour. It was delicious, sweet and fruity like a good scotch bonnet... but barely had any heat. I shrugged and prepped the batch because they'd still be good for the project I had in mind.

also if you liked my tumblr thread from back in the day, it's all over on mastodon and continues to be updated in a way which pushes the delightfully janky tech to its absolute limits

Another Angry Woman @stavvers.bsky.social · 8d

also I cannot emphasise enough how much *better* fedi drama is. it's the proper old school incomprehensible forum drama, none of that newfangled dunking a dingus journalist because the journalists just aren't there

Another Angry Woman @stavvers.bsky.social · 8d

anyway come to mastodon most of the mods are european and desperate for new users which honestly really fuckin makes the whole experience better. if you'd like to dip your toes in just @ me @[email protected] and I'll introduce you to the gang

Posted this like two years ago over on the other place and it is with a heavy heart I regret to inform you that nothing has changed and the CEO has outright admitted the product is just a fuckin demo and they'd prefer not to have pesky users all over their webbed site

Toot from me, July 2023: So the thing about bluesky is the moderation problems will probably never be fixed because the entire app is largely a demo for automated moderation protocols, and the most they'll do is add a few more words to the Naughty Words list and let the robot take care of it.

This is a feature, not a bug, because ultimately the product is the ✨️tech✨️
