We wanted damask wallpaper, but our order was cancelled. This will work too

One of my most pleasant memories from college was going in the hot tub for apartment complex we were renting during a rain storm. I had smoked some weed and i went out there with a pack of Oreos. The rain was cold, but the hot tub was hot. Those Oreos were so good

Sitting in a hot tub while cold, drizzly mist sprinkles down on me. I'm having an old fashioned. This is pretty perfect.

Last week, my neighbor gave me 32 packages of lunchables pepperoni pizza. That's more lunchables pizza then I would eat before it expired even if I really liked lunchables pizza.

I decided I would try combining all of them into one lunchables pizza casserole.

Here we go

@botvolution yea!

I watched Repo Man for the first time last night -- in a theater. What a ridiculously fun movie.

I had the impression it was going to be one of those movies that your film friend insists is so bad, it's good, but while you're watching it, all you can think is how it's actually just bad.

But no, it was delightful. It was quirky and funny and bizarre and just utterly entertaining.

Things for the tortilla press

Making things on the lathe

Something outside. Suddenly long.

Is Polish for Terminator just "Electronic Murderer"?

The electric folding bike has been assembled enough that i can take it on a test ride. It's a lot of fun!

Since it can't actually be pedaled, it's more of an electric motorcycle, albeit a slow one, than an electric bike, but that's neither here nor there

A friend just told me their friend ordered $300 in clothing for a wedding he's attending. This morning, he got an email update from the company saying they had to recalculate his total to account for tariffs and that his total is actually $800 now.

@botvolution try searching for just IGB instead. I think the T isn't allowed in your country anymore

Color me very surprised. It actually turns on and does something weldish-like

I went rockhounding with a friend in the desert yesterday. We didn't find any rocks worth keeping, but I did find a cheap tig welder but sitting out there with a pile of stuff in the shifting sands of a wash. Of course I brought it home. I'm very curious to see if it works, and if not, if it can be fixed

Did you ever wonder why 'calculus' refers both to a type of math and the plaque deposits that form on teeth? I have, so I looked it up.

Both come from the Latin word calx, meaning limestone.

The term came to be associated with math through the use of stones or pebbles for counting.

It came to be associated with dental plaque because its a stony material that forms on teeth. (It's also used for other mineralized secretions of the body, like kidney stones).

So, there it is. Calculus is counting with rocks. Calculus is rocks on your teeth.

Google News is now showing me articles about how seed oils are bad for you and how measles isn't actually the thing killing kids in the measles outbreak.

@botvolution @fredy I think that's the current framework. If the bus driver says it's a bike, it's a bike and it's not allowed inside
