I just got this unique aquarium plant called a Crinum that looks like a big angry green spider. Very happy with my purchase from Aqua Huna! #aquarium#plants#fishfriday#fishofmastodon
@ewen ok so you watch only Faux news, you dont believe anyone from the FBI CIA or anyone with MD or other degree in their name. Ok fine.
Who do you want repairing your roof, a roofer or your uber driver? Who do you want installing your water heater, a plumber or your kids gym teacher? Why do you respect someone who went to a 2 month vocational training more than someone with an advanced degree? Just how ignorant are you?
@AliceMarshall I came soooooo close to getting involved with Herbal Life #MLM TG I did some research so when the fedx of my 'inventory' arrived I was able to say no way no how take this shit back where it came from. Then I began to see desperate herbal life cars, flyers, and knocks at my door of my neighbors that drank the koolaid. #scam
RAWSTORY #lgbtq "Remember when you were fired from that bank job after you were outed? Well, Burger King does," Stewart said to laughs, "with a burger that has two bottom buns!"
"Scarred by conversion therapy? Skittles is releasing a colorless version of Skittles, apparently not wanting to confuse gay people with competing rainbows."
He then showed an ad for Oreo, about a family "overcoming a father's deep conservative values. At the end of the video, the father seems to have had a change of heart — painting a rainbow flag on their fence. "Did I do it right?" the father asks.
An incredulous and bewildered Stewart can't help but ask, "What the f---?"
"The next time you waste an enormous amount of paint to apologize to your daughter for making her and her girlfriend walk on f---ing eggshells all f---ing weekend, not even saying anything, just standing there with your little glowering beard face, in the shadows ... you paint the fence and give her an Oreo?"
@JamesGleick Senator Whitehouse was particularly eloquent on "justice" Alito last week on Deadline Whitehouse that the conservatives have been the kids with the headgear sitting at the cool kids table for years unable to do what they were put there to do, and are now really letting their right wing freak flag fly and they dont give a fuck who sees it. They cant believe they are being criticized and not cheered, they are THAT out of touch. link ----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT0-TWGhXgM
"Alito’s remarks are notable because ... he is now, as the cliché goes, saying the quiet part out loud. Martha-Ann might be the half of the Alito couple who likes to make statements using actual flags, but Strip Search Sammy is also showing his true colors."
If it were to get support, CV could be used to scan for matches, and folks who are scrapping stuff that they know is not just late capitalist disposable trash they can offer it up.
People could make their own deals based on the actual value of the thing. I figure if someone were to send me pull handles that match my dresser, I'd buy them a very fancy coffee, at least, besides shipping and handling and time.
But I like the idea of it being a community thing we do, not a site you go to.
After all that, I am really not sure if what just happened was 100% legal.
I'm not sure what Canadians are supposed to do if they find space junk.
I have a nice map of where several pieces were found (along about 50km of the projected ground track), and I'm sure more pieces will be found in the coming months/years. What are people supposed to do with them? (The SpaceX dudes did not answer that question.)
Then while they negotiated with Barry, it was time for a proper media scrum. This was pretty fun, actually, especially since I was so pumped up at this point (I was actually jumping up and down with excitement more than once as I watched reporters following the poor SpaceX dudes around). The reporters were all having a great time and happily chatting with each other. Very good vibes.
Special highlight, one of the local reporters took Astro 101 from me my first year teaching here!
Then the Uhaul arrived! There were 2 very young, very nervous looking engineers who got out and walked over to face the throng of reporters.
I had hoped they'd actually be chatty, but of course they weren't. They wouldn't even admit they were from SpaceX at first! It wasn't until the whole pack of journalists followed them across the yard asking questions that they finally admitted they were SpaceX employees. (Thanks, journalists!!)
Beautiful hand crafted aquarium ornaments by unemployable electro-mechanical assembler who is afraid of people #covidcloister syndrome. Many styles and colors, some float and some even glow in the dark! All boosts are adored thank you!
