  • Judging by the spacing of the bannister rails that space looks to be ~36x30. My dog's bed is 26" across, leaving plenty of room for the other stuff. I mean look for a dollhouse fireplace on line, they're pretty small, and the lamp could just be a rubber fire hydrant toy with the lamp mount jammed in.

  • I always wanted a space like that to make a sweet pad for my dog, with a fire-hydrant lamp, photos on the wall of his dog friends and comfy bed, small corner fireplace etc...

  • FWIW, I had a subscription over a decade ago. I can't say I ever thought of it as "Left", it was at best, corporate center. But it definitely has gone more right as it has also gone more sensationalist. They partnered with Daily Beast for a while, and then were sold to IBT media, an international "news and Information" conglomerate. I think your memories are from the old hard journalism days, and they have gone back to corporate, but corporate-right.

  • Ah, the panic of having to use the bathroom so severely you can't make it to your book or magazine in time. Oh look, I wonder what Methyllaurelsulfate does?

    I always thought the bathroom reader books were tacky and stupid, then a I got a couple and they came in clutch so many times.

    Now that I have a phone, I think it's kinda gross to have items out for everyone to touch while using the toilet. Weird how perception changes.

  • Anachronox. Ion Storm at it's best. Engaging plot and characters, humor well ahead of its time for a game script, and party members and environments that I've still never seen many games match to this day. I don't know why it didn't become huge, I think the rpg crowd back then was still pretty married to sword and sandal conventions. If you like old games, I can't recommend it enough.

  • His FCC brought back net Neutrality. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/net-neutrality-fcc/

    His CFPB put up limits to anti-consumer terms for payday loans and bank fees. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-cfpb-is-cleaning-up-junk-fees/

    His administration raised fees for oil drilling in several major areas, although he also approved a large number of drilling permits so this may be a wash. https://apnews.com/article/oil-gas-drilling-public-lands-interior-climate-ffc88438d6f9c5d48e9a8fc7cffc749a

    The UAW endorsed Biden. This gets weird, because many blame Biden for ending the rail strike, which he did, and which echoes the Bush Sr. Foul play with ATCs and pilots. But in exchange for ending the strike they got nearly everything they were asking for in the first place. Fain plays hardball and has probably gotten more for unions and their members than almost anyone, if he's okay with Biden, I'm inclined to agree.

  • "As a chili pepper lover myself I absolutely do not get this garbage trope of treating chili pepper consumption as some kind of contest. The idea is to add heat to your food - not prove your pathetic "manliness.""

    I agree and so does Aunty Donna:

  • I do work for a bunch of pharmaceutical companies and developing nation health outreach type organizations. (Don't ask me much technical, I'm not personally on the medical side.) But I can tell you that most major pharmas, Health NGOs and Government drug safety regulatory bodies are keenly aware that "Vaccines are a victim of their own success." They have multiple approaches to dealing with the problem that a successful vaccine campaign makes the need for the vaccines socially invisible. There are varying degrees of success, but not a lot of generalized and reliable ways to combat this kind of cognitive disconnect.
