I have never hated a @techconnectify.bsky.social video more than this. I'm now cursed with the knowledge of these "mass market" options for Christmas lights that don't suck, but after a couple of hours of searching every retailer near me, they're just as available as the niche brands of videos past.

This planner has been lifechanging for me. I really want her to be able to continue doing that. I own the book, I have the PDFs (because she gave them to the owners of the book already!!) but I bought them again. That's how dedicated I am to this.

I choose to expect nothing, but it would be great if they finally decided to do something with Chrono Trigger that isn't making a bad port of the original.

My beautiful wife, after spending the whole day browsing Avatar The Last Airbender deck lists, has bought all the devil's cardboard necessary to build herself 2 Commander decks.
My apologies to anyone who thought they had the best spouse and has just now had to reckon with that not being the case.

Think about something you know inside and out. Now imagine that you're attempting to explain it to someone else. Conveying every minute detail about that thing to another human in a way that loses none of the complexity embodied in your understanding.
Exactly.

XKCD has never made me cry. That changed today. It's been a little over 6 years since my brother ran out of years with his cancer and I'm not made of stone.
He got ~5. 15 years would have been an amazing gift, one that would have meant his being here today along with countless other tiny blessings.

Yeah, I'll get right in my time machine to make sure that my genes which express a chronic condition outside my control, don't do that. All so that these ghouls can continue to feel like good health isn't something that could be ripped from their hands at a moment's notice and random whims of fate.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.
