I've got a pretty good hose shop in my town. I also know of one where I used to live. You could say I've got hose in different area codes.

Appreciate the background. That really sucks for the team working on Masks of Power, and I hope that your project doesn't suffer the same fate.

Don't have an answer for you unfortunately, but do you care to share more of this story about Lego burning Bionicle fans?

Zelda: Link's Awakening on the GameBoy Color in the mid-90s. I got to the second temple, and was totally stuck - to progress I needed to learn to jump, which I inferred was in this temple, but I just couldn't figure out where it was.

Wandered all over the available map, which of course was constrained due to lacking the jump skill and other story-driven tools. Nothing.

Finally bought a game guide, which explained to me that I needed to bomb a wall in one room in the second temple to progress. It was indicated by a small crack, a staple in Zelda games but invisible to me in my first experience with the series.

The cherry on top was that by that point, I didn't have any bombs to break the wall, and I recall that I didn't have the ability to buy or acquire any and had to restart the game to progress past the point where I was stuck.

After that point, Zelda: Links Awakening became one of my favorite games of my childhood. It is hilarious how much frustration it caused me before that realization.

I highly doubt that...you give me like, I dunno, let's say 5 people, and a catapult, and I bet you I can hit a giraffe before it gets struck by lightning.

Even more confident if you give me a people-sized potato cannon.

Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink.

My kiddo gifted me the opportunity to see my watch change from 1:59 to 3:00am this morning!

Gosh that sounds lovely, especially the Linux part. Actually, mostly the Linux part.

Someone should plot the price of things (eggs, gas, the Big Mac) against the (date-referenced) count of times he played golf.

Why would I spend a ton of money to go out in public and play golf, when I can stay at home keeping that Teams icon green while playing videogames and watching mid-week Europa League fixtures?

You would have known from my username haha. Definitely give tea a try, and pick up some interesting varieties, a nice mug, and a fun electronic kettle to simplify / fancify it into a fun part of your morning!

From personal experience, a fresh cup of coffee is what gets me out of bed when I don't have other obligations. I use a percolator, and grind fresh coffee each use (i.e. not prepping it the night before). This helps me keep a routine between the weekdays and weekends.

I switched to tea for a bit after a rough bout of heartburn, worked about the same for me keeping a routine. I much prefer my doom scrolling when I can mimic the Kermit the frog meme with a piping hot morning beverage.

Also, you may be my friend based on the bathroom necessity. If not, you two should form a morning intestinal distress support group.

I got notified of it in the first quarter of last year.

I had already switched insurances because all my providers stopped accepting UHC because THEY WEREN'T PAYING THE FUCKING PROVIDERS

This ended up working! Great suggestion, thank you!

I'll look into that, wasn't something I had considered yet. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have not tried that - thanks for the suggestion!

Wolves with laser beams attached to their heads!

Germany woke af by having a gender-neutral pronoun already

What’s weird about this broader “conversation” on masculinity is I feel more masculine than ever

Same. The more I read stupid quotes from the Tates and Musk's of the world, the more I feel like I'm doing something right with how I'm living my life, raising my kiddo, and engaging with my community.

Between that and a wider understanding/acceptance of neurodivergence, I'm feeling pretty comfortable in my own skin for the first time in a long time. And I'm ready to fight for women, minorities, and the LGBTQ+ communities to feel the same way.
