You ain't gonna get an answer...

One other consideration - when you get estimates for the work compare the cost against what more you can get by adding that amount to your furniture budget.

It's easy to focus on built-in features in an empty room, but they tend to go out of focus a bit in a furnished room.

But if they clash with your planned aesthetic... just change them, else it'll keep bugging you.

The leader John Fitzgerald Johnson calls himself “Grandmaster Jay.”

Presumably because he was worried that calling himself Grandmaster Johnson might sound a bit ridiculous.

It's the Biden Bump! C'mon man!

I don't think I've ever had a Gibson of either sort. Gin with onions. Hmm.

At Mount Vernon, it was called "The Necessary."

I wonder what conversations went on there.

The article claims that half the states have considered “Right to Repair” legislation. The article itself is not all the good, but it links to many other articles that I find interesting, particularly:

one that talks about the military procuring equipment that are hampered by repair restrictions hospital equipment, a situation made more dire by COVID-19 John Deere’s broken promise, one designed to stall “Right to Repair” legislation for three years three years ago and now remain unfulfilled

On the consumer electronics side, you’ve got Apple, Inc. as the poster child for “Right to Repair” problem (but it’s actually common across the entire consumer electronics industry). On the farming equation side, it seems it’s always John Deere that’s the problem poster child.

If you can't do something with a straight face, try it with a gay face instead.

Its hard for me to get too angry at a random type 1 error committed by an automated process that reacts to probably tens of millions of images per day, every day.

No, that takes careful interviewing, empathy and perception.

You wouldn’t understand. 😁

Yep a whopping 6%.

You see actors doing that a lot. Taking a part in some trash movie so they can say they “worked with” some big name attached to the project. It’s entirely a vanity thing.

Who else is going to work in movies other than actors? It's not as if they're going to hire trained flamingoes.

You were complaining about actors being in trashy movies. I was wondering who else you expected to be in them.

I was commenting on actors who take parts just to say they have “worked with” some famous and often over the hill actor or director. The most recent time I thought about this was Val Kilmer’s biopic where he bragged about having worked with Brando. In a horrible movie, when Brando was in peak has-been mode, where Brando actually hated Val. But for Val it’s the story of when he worked with Brando.

Why the fuck is he worrying about the US national debt and Richard Nixon?

Another sad attempt to pretend he's an American.

Is China an asshole?
