BBC film crew rolls into Western Paupa expecting to film "primitive tribesmen", is shocked to discover that the folks there are used to film crews and are performing and expecting compensation.

put telephone rings in your techno tracks so the call is coming from inside the house
It's so cute when podcast hosts get all excited about finally getting that sweet, sweet Audible sponsorship.
This one just said "we're a real grown-up podcast now!!!"

Whenever you see a fad/As Seen On TV item and catch yourself thinking "ugh, is that really necessary?", stop and think: for whom /might/ that be necessary?
Fidget spinners help satisfy the stimming urge for autistic people.
Slankets/snuggies are lifesavers for people in wheelchairs and on bed rest.
That pre-peeled orange in the plastic container? Imagine your arthritic grandma trying to peel an orange.
Most of that "unnecessary" stuff has a use case - it's just not /your/ use case.

Pacific Rim Uprising spoiler
It really stretches credibility that in all this time Newt is the only person who’s tried to fuck a kaiju.

Y'know what in a system that's a successor to capitalism I'm okay with the possibility of work in some fields giving above-average compensation.
I'm fine with a nurse or a teacher or a farm worker having twice the "purchasing power" or whatever as I do. Those are necessary, hardass jobs.
I'm not okay that people like venture capitalists make tens of thousands of times as much as I do while creating zero value.
Forecast high 61F here in Seattle, dang.
Also I can't stop thinking about alien sea monsters now which is cool but making it a little hard to wind down for sleep.
Suddenly reminded of this short story about a superintelligence trying to mitigate the end of the world:
"Valuable Humans In Transit"

(the fiction on that site is pretty funky/cool in general)

like how does _that_ sales pitch go, exactly?
"yeah, listen, we've added a new feature - we're gonna do you a one shot ad post on a fringe social network full of gay space communists, people who identify strongly with cartoon animals, and programmers who are weirdly intense about ideological shit that we're not entirely sure is even real. oh yeah, and did i mention the sex professionals? that's been big lately."

The fact that "its" has no apostrophe is honestly the best evidence for the fact that lithographic conventions are even more fake than the rest of language
Tweezers should be *sharp*. A really strong edge is both better at gripping and is super handy for things like getting out tiny splinters.
katt's tool tip for the day: premium tweezers with precision ground/machined edges are so much better than the common ones.
Tweezerman is a good brand. S'not even that expensive.
Reposting: does anyone in the Seattle want a free 20" 1200x1600 IPS LCD monitor?
'Cause I have one.
YER A FURRY, HARRY.
all major projects cost π times as much and take e times as long as predicted.
