Screenshot of a post by Derrick: Whenever it does get "fixed", it'll break again minutes later and the same shit will keep happening, because rather than putting those engineers to good use making this shit stable, they're too busy fucking with AI bullshit to give a damn about stability.

image from the TV show "The Odd Couple." Felix Unger attempts to get in a taxi while bent over with a throw-out back.
On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that some day he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Several years earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?

Made me what I am
I can hear him clearing his sinuses.
@jpoulos that sinus clearing scene from the film kills me. As soon as I saw "Felix Unger" that's the first thing I thought of.
[picks up discarded cigar butt...]
The opening notes of the theme song popped loudly into my head within milliseconds of seeing this.
for me it was the scene with his ex-wife where she's cooked scrambled eggs for him, and he takes the plate and says he's just going to "tighten these up" on the stove. I don't know why that scene sticks with me over everything else.

Close-up photo of a few dozen strings for bass guitar. They look like lumpy wires shrink-wrapped in red, pink and light blue ribbons.
I legitimately like these... don't have a use for them, though. LaBella flats aren't my thing (too thuddy and high-tension) and I don't keep enough basses around to have one just for experimenting on.
They look amazing close-up like this. From the audience they probably look more like a slightly tinted nickel color.

I don’t use those strings either, but it’s a cool project
And they went fast - when I loaded the page it said 18 sets left, but when I added it to the cart they were sold out. (was going to buy a set for my bass playing kid)
@wjcstp Weird. Looks like 5-string sets are still purchasable.
@wjcstp Lobster confirms: The strings are sold out.
More due next week.

atop a wall-mounted steel storage shelf, a plastic-wrapped box of 100 memorex branded IBM-compatible diskettes sits unused. next to it is a bowl. the yellow box holding the red diskettes features the memorex logo, as well as the text "formatted IBM & compatible" to the left, and a larger "100 IBM DISKETTES | Lifetime Warranty" to the center and right.
walking past a cubicle someone recently abandoned (thankfully a switch to WFH, not a layoff/firing) and noticed this absolutely pristine box of high density diskettes. cackling at the thought of how long these must have just been sitting here.

@scruss right? still in the shrink wrap and everything. i'm wondering what in recent years would have necessitated even ONE disk, let alone a case anywhere in the 20-some years we've been at this building.
the only thing i can think of was an anniversary video where we trotted out a working mac SE to run the 1.0 of our software against the then-latest iteration, but even then we had existing product diskettes.

Maybe the FAA could use a few spares?
@nikkuneko Canadian military was using floppies up until 2018 or so in a few applications. We even had a private-label magnetics factory in Canada to support them until about a decade ago

Photo of a wall inside the Poetry Lounge in Millvale, PA with wallpaper that features old comic book covers, many with Jack Kirby art. There's also a framed print with the phrase "if you're homophobic get the fuck out of my house."
The wallpaper in the Poetry Lounge bathroom seemed perfect for #kirbythursday. Took the pic last week when my brother-in-law's band played at the bar in Millvale, PA.
Suddenly inspired to pick up cross-stitch <3
hello, Greater Pittsburgh Area.
@minimumsafedistance howdy! I actually live south of the city, but had to see my BIL's gig.
@Xedrik seriously. I need this in my house.

Jar of pickled dailon
I have been frustrated by being unable to find pickled daikon that doesn't have sucralose and/or aspartame (and even more bullshit). So decided to make it.
I bought a glass jar with a weight and a lid and used a minimal recipe. Great! But before it had even finished, the fridge started stinking. By day three, the whole house smelled of it. It was very delicious though. The next batch, we tried putting a bowl of baking soda next to it. No luck.
I looked up a ton of fridge deodorizers and was about to buy one when I realized I had charcoal sheets for an air purifier we run in the basement. Maybe I could put the jar in a bigger jar vented through charcoal? Then I realized the solution, replace the jar lid with a 3D printed lid that would hold a couple layers of charcoal. A few of hours of design and printing and TADA!
And it works, though I am planning improvements. I also am considering covering the plastic with food safe epoxy in order to keep it from getting bacteria and gunk.
The recipe involved white and purple daikon, salt, kombu, bonito, mirin, and rice vinegar.

A large body of water under a clear blue sky. The water is bluish-green, with a craggy, tree-topped cliff jutting out into it. In the foreground is another rocky cliff. Hovering in the sky above the cliff is a small moon or planet. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

I love the icons Pitchfork created for their The 100 Best Indie Rock Albums of All Time post https://pitchfork.com/story...
Kinda disappointed AthensGA didn't get our own icon, but use of Cheerwine for North Carolina is perfect, no notes.
i find as the years go on my default reaction to any pitchfork decree will be an eye roll, but i do kinda love these icons/categories

This just reminded me of a long time ago when I'd download icon packs and customize all the folders on my mac.

Owl and cat eyes next to each other
We’re owl very impressed. I had to paws for a moment.
“I should get a pea green boat.”
@bezt *snort*
Now it needs Spock
Seriously, that pea green boat caper makes every kind of sense to me. They already enjoy the same foods, which is more in common than a lot of couples have.
Once I saw my cat sitting on the deck railing and looking up to the trees with that "I see dinner" look. I checked that, and there was a bigass owl in a branch. looking at her in much the same way. I cancelled deck time.
@thelonius Star-crossed lovers!

NYT’s map showing newly blue states that could trigger the Electoral College Pact. Text:
Can Democrats Make the Electoral College Irrelevant?
Several states are part of a pact that would pledge their electoral votes to the popular vote winner.
This happens if its states have 270 electoral votes, and midterm victories have opened a path to that.

The Electoral College was conceived when the entire United States had fewer than four million people. Today, California alone has nearly 10X that. A system designed for a nation of thirteen states and fewer than four million people deserves serious reconsideration in a country of fifty states and more than 340 million people.
I mean as a Texan... they might actually campaign in Texas next election.
This may not be safe for viewing at work.
