Diversity of beliefs as long as you believe exactly what UATX's billionaire backers want you to.

We kind of had a divorce with our previous architect. Very very good visual intuition and taste. Contractors hated working with him because he ended up making jobs cost 2x more than planned. So we decided to do this one ourselves and see how it goes. I kind of miss having an architect. :)

Wait WHAT?

(This became a bit of an urgent question because I had to make a choice while Prof. Dr. Spouse was out of town, they ordered the tile for it, and then she got back and said "oh no we're not". We're .. trying to find a way to resolve it rapidly without wasting material. 😆)

Couldn't happen to a nicer site

this is a tv series i would subscribe to

The entire process of owning this house has been slowly undoing the bad ideas someone had in the 1950s.

The horns on 25 or 6 to 4 still go amazingly hard 55 years later.

I'd prefer to live in a tech world not well described by, or associated with, someone like Adams. I might grieve his turning into an asshole, but not his passing.

(it would strike me as weird if this were actually the plane used in the attack. This plane is usually used as mobile command and control. It seems more likely that it would be something like a p-8, which is also a modified 737, but used for anti-submarine and anti-ship. It has weapon bays.)

It looks a lot like a usaf b-40b/c, which is a reconfigured b737-700: www.planespotters.net/airframe/boe...

The location and size of that (likely) satcomm hump towards the tail seems somewhat uniquely identifying if you find a match to it. There are some intercontinental configured 737s with similar but the ones I've found have it mounted farther forward. (Iana aircraft expert)

because what I need now is another game in my life. :p

(The kids wanted Hollow Knight for xmas and their wish was granted. I played a bunch of it while we were taking our winter vacation; first game I've gotten that into since Baldur's Gate 3, and before that, Portal 2, so .. 3 games in 14 years?)

(And then it made me very angry at our politicians who seem to forget that the people we're asking to risk their lives, risk TBI and PTSD, etc., for us are real people, and often very young real people.)

The first time I saw a batch of new recruits as an adult it left me in tears - a few were shitting bricks at jumping off a parachute training tower at Ft. Bragg. I had friends who'd done the military route but an 18 year old doesn't seem like a baby in the same way they do when you're 33.

But I appreciate that there's now a good set of options available - I cooked my way through a chunk of one of Fuchsia Dunlop's Sichuan books last year and the easiest path to doing so was by judiciously using meat substitutes.

And sometimes they're nice for laziness. I made pesto fettuccine with sliced gardein "chick'n" tenders last week that was awfully convenient, tasty, and came together in like 20 minutes.

I use a lot of seitan too, but that doesn't feel like fake meat, it's just seitan. :)
