Remixed webcomic of stick figure dad walking into a room asking "Are ya winning, son?". The stick figure boy sitting at a compute replies "I'm making 11 people laugh on mltshp". The original comic used Mastodon in the punchline.

A woman with grey-brown hair pulled back in a brain and a green plaid flannel shirt stands behind a man who is seated. He is wearing a grey toque and black glasses and has a full white beard. He has one eye open for some reason. The woman has a hand on his shoulder and holds a piece of a cookie in her other hand. The woman is me and the man is the mister.
Not a great photo of either one of us but somehow I love it. This was before we sat down to watch the town talent show.
i love this

This is superb and also I think I have that shirt you're wearing 😂
Y'all are one of my favorite couples.
The muted hand gesture ("La mano a borsa") suggests the suppression of otherwise expressive Italian roots 🍝
It’s a great picture of both of you!
I love the looks on your faces! Disdain? Disapproval? Dysurea? All goes to show that someone is at the same level of photographic skill as me.

I'm wrapping up a publications class today. We're working on sequencing a grouping of images, in theory to learn how to design a photo book but the process applies to anything. For my series I dug through my photos from when we lived on a farm from about 2015-2019.

An ocean with a land mass in the distance, heavily shrouded in fog and clouds. What sunlight there is filters dully up from the horizon. The entire scene is in shades of eerie green. Flying over the ocean, lit from below, is a witch on a broomstick. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Is this the same golf course where someone takes photos of your Johnson if you choose to expose yourself?
Someone needs to stick a sign facing the other way YOU ARE THE DIPSHIT THAB BOUGHT A HOUSE AT THE END OF A FAIRWAY. FUCK YOUR $200 WINDOWS.
@homerj my step parents retired to a golf course village in Queensland, lots of units/condos alongside fairways. My step dad loves golfing, he also loves a whinge. I was visiting them one xmas and his whinging aside, he had a neighbour who used to bitch about golfers and golf balls. My old man would stand out on his balcony and basically troll the guy (they couldn't see each other)
"shouldn't have bought here mate giggle giggle"
"how's ya windows mate giggle giggle"
and it would go on, it gave him lots of merriment, then he turned around and the laughter left his face and he looked straight at me
"what a farken dickhead"
Then back to his recliner with the satisfaction of a good days work and thinking up his next whinge, mostly about immigration, he himself being from England - I rarely visit.

@Argie I’ve always felt that the appeal of that line was to subliminally get people to think of a way, even if only briefly.

animation loop of a modern engine design in which eight counter-opposed pistons are driven through intake, ignition, combustion, and exhaust - two pistons in each of four cylinders - by cams beneath each piston mounted on the wavelike surfaces of two counter-opposed flywheels. the ignitions appear as bright yellow flashes when each pair of pistons kisses at the top of their cycle.

Swashplate boxer engines come and go. My favourite is the Selwood engine from the 1950s, a football-sized thing that spun madly on its mounts. Disappeared without trace, of course.
@scruss I'm probably simple, but I love how much this reduces the number and complexity of bearing surfaces. No pushrods, crankshaft or rockers. Overhauling this one might even be downright pleasurable.
back and forth forever...
@MackReed yes, It's going to be small and light, but every part is really jammed in there. The roller/swashplate interaction is going to have some fierce friction loss.
TBH, no matter how nice it is, the world can't use a new internal combustion engine this century

I see the specs in that article, but also I look at the roller pushing down a ramp and I just can’t see this generating much torque. Interesting design exercise though.
Informative article about a cool invention but, man, the Internet needs editors.

@heyitsal Holy shit. The only people who thought that was a good idea were the people who knew exactly what the "accidental" message was and liked it.
Also: My city just hosted its first major through-the-city marathon this past weekend and it was a fiasco. Not as far as the runners were concerned but organizationally it was a trainwreck, with thousands of residents left stranded because their nearest streets had been blocked off and they hadn't been notified.
Okay, the runners hated the part where the marathon finished in a track-and-field stadium and the organizers had designed the traffic flow for runners so that everyone who had just run twenty-six-and-fucking-something-miles had to climb to the top of the bleachers to exit. There was a lot of swearing on the local socials about that.
@heyitsal I mean it... it... wow.
@heyitsal Oh, it's The Stig from Top Gear mashed up with Planet Of The Apes reboot, that's cool …oh, er, what's that at the bottom? OFFS!

I love that you used a title that accurately reflects the picture but also makes a call to another improv group which itself was named for the writers of the Jack Benny show.
Maybe comedy troupe would have been better than improv group.
Although now I see that it was also used to refer to the writers of the Sid Caesar show.
@grantbarrett I didn't know that! Fun fact

A forest service cabin on the USFS rental program surrounded by a grassy area in the foreground, then a forest of lodgepole pine in the background. The cabin in located on the Kootenai National Forest in NW Montana. My bicycle is leaning against the cabin in the porch.
I rode 76 miles out to this cabin last weekend for my birthday. This is Fairview Ranger Station in one of the lesser traveled areas of NW Montana. The route takes ALL the backroads to get here and back and has somewhat of a railroad theme, including following the bits and pieces of original alignment of the Great Northern RR, now converted to rails to trails and just actual roads. Day 2 was 84 mi and mirrors a good part of the later/current realignment, as well as following the Old Fort Steele Trail, which is a pretty rough and tumble jeep track. I'm happy to say that I'm still able to pull off this overly ambitious route at 54, although I'm definitely still feeling it mid-week.
Happy birthday. An excellent way and place to celebrate it.
Happy Belated!
Sounds like a great way to get away on your birthday.
even at your age :-)

Nice trip, and happy birthday
Happity-hap-haps. Keep riding and you'll be as old as me!

That sounds incredible, I am envious, and happy birthday!

A Lord of the Rings meme. Galadriel says, "You have seen Sauron." Frodo replies, "Yes." They each look at each other silently, then Galadriel says, "He's weirdly sexy, right?" and Frodo responds, "Oh my god. Thank you. Yes. I thought I was the only one."

This nauseates me so severely that I had to create a new SHK just to contain it.
Please join the tomato-throwing rabble of your fellow poors at https://mltshp.com/eattherich and add your own exemplars of wretched excess.
Edit: to be honest, I couldn't believe this SHK didn't already exist.

Does it come with garlic sauce? It covers for a lot of poor quality meats.
Everyone tried to tell him it was too big.
@KMAlexander he just wanted someone to say that about at least one thing he owned

thanks for the SHK invite but I like my MLTSHP full of <3 as I get enough hate everywhere else.

However, I am not a parasitic capitalist (despite what my kids say), so in for a penny, in for a pound! sorta

The image is an artistic rendering of a bicycle, where two rolls of masking tape exist as the wheels and one of the rules of masking tape has some tape coming out of it, forming the front fork of the bicycle, and the rest of the bicycle is painted in white on a black background.
That's so well done.

Is this by Christoph Niemann? It certainly smells like his work, so to speak.

This was a brutalist home that was once in a city, but it was the only home that survived the blast that blackened it. A la Planet of the Apes, centuries had passed and the sands of the earth had grown up around it. Explorers had now found it and we learned that Earth as we know it really is the burned out remnants of nuclear war a million years ago. And here we were, about to do it again.
Then I realized it was like, a TV, face down on the beach
