Black cats may be evil, but they aren't vile. Take it back.

Why have I never heard of this artist/group? This is like DJ Shadow and Del the Funky Homosapien did a collaboration, and I mean that in the best possible way.

"I do think there are some things we don't understand. If we'd be back in time a thousand years, trying to explain this place to people, they could only accept it in terms of magic."

"Then perhaps it is magic. The magic of the human heart, focused and made manifest by technology. Every day you here create greater miracles than a burning bush."

And then...

"We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocations of equations. These are the tools we employ and we know many things."

I love B5 so much.

That's how I'm starting to feel about the USA as a whole, but there's no place that I can think would take my family easily.

Were they just kicked out of that establishment behind them?

Genuine out loud laugh just now. Thanks for this!

Had to look up butt mogging.

I've done a few of these, but I once did a #5/#10 combo. I made a character years ago whose only purpose was to blow people's heads off with a .44 Magnum. He had virtually no other relevant skills. It was a GURPS/Car Wars mash-up, the former for roleplay and the latter for vehicular combat since we were in the Car Wars universe. I wasn't much use for anything until the shooting started.

RIP Jerry "Magnum" Carrost: you were a terrible character, but you were fun.

Am I not the only one? Most people I've heard of eat their nails. I'm the only one I've ever known who chews on his cuticles.

I hope the Swiss Guard are on their toes. I guarantee there are crazy fascists only too willing to try their hand at assassination.

Well, I guess you'd check under his skirt or whatever you call it.

Cool. Thanks for the direction. I'm curious about electrical stuff, and I'd like to be able to do some things around my house. There's some DIY stuff online, too, involving building projects from old parts of appliances that interest me, but I realized quickly that I'd need some very good knowledge about electrical work to stay safe. It's unlikely I'll actually pursue the latter, but I'd like to at least know the how and why of my home wiring.

What's a good resource for learning about electrical engineering for people starting from nearly zero knowledge? I'd love to learn more so I don't burn my house down if I want to, say, replace a light fixture in my house.

Medicare Advantage is a scam, period. Apparently, standard Medicare overhead is 5% or so. Medicare Advantage has around 15% overhead costs, as companies line their pockets.

Is chocolate harmful to bears like it is for dogs?

Ahhh...so sad. Only 9.9 million? How will he ever get by?

Exercise to get healthy and work on my garden, to start. Then I'd handle any necessary projects for my home. Then I'd find causes to support by volunteering.

What do you mean? An African or European pigeon?
