Hang?

kind of forgetting what it was like when every single piece of news didn’t make me angry

this app will never succeed until it has group DMs. i need to be causing psychic harm to my friends and loved ones at rates far greater than single-user chats will allow

of course iran has decoys, and of course the usa and/or israel has shot at them. this is a game that's been played since humanity invented projectile weapons.

i've seen at least 3 versions of "hurr durr the dumb USA shot at decoys" going around with completly different obviously fake images and/or video and it's so tiring on multiple levels

do i dare put an "original purchase price" column in the spreadsheet 🫣

hell yeah

spindrift had a yuzu mandarin flavor for a hot minute and i'm mad at how good it was and double-mad that it was a limited run

[comeback jack @meanunclejack]: my dad brought me yellow gatorade because that's the medicinal flavor. orange is for exercise. red is the best tasting but has no healing properties, it's just a drink like an arizona iced tea. [boss twee @EnnuiSports]: what's blue [comeback jack @meanunclejack]: dark blue is mental fortitude/mana potion. light blue is for hot days because it is colder than other flavors

mixing the purple "Fierce" Grape with the light blue "Frost" Glacier Freeze flavor to create an extra cold flavor of gatorade

"due to GeoPolitics™ we need you to identify every part number currently in use that contains steel and/or aluminum" oh goodie

having the "recognizes ten digit part numbers on sight" flavor of autism isn't paying off for me today

the gang's group chat about "how would you defeat a Roman legion using only the contents of the McMaster Carr Catalog" is entering day 3

ok it's way past time that I make an inventory of my spare bike components; I was just about to drop a fair chunk of change on some parts and then suddenly realized that I think I have half of what I need lying around already.

There must be a word/phrase for voluntarily refusing to add new information to your worldview. I put my Samsung clamshell phone in a ziploc bag while canoeing in 2007 and the condensation messed up the speaker so it went "koff koff" instead of ringing thereafter. No way phones can go in the shower

Using the traditional option for dislodging potential avalanches—explosives—would be difficult, given the timing and the aircrafts the sheriff's office had available. But the night before, at a high-school basketball game, a utility worker with Pacific Gas and Electric Company happened to tell a local sheriffs deputy about an unusual method of dealing with risky slopes. Three years earlier, the company needed to rescue employees and their families who were snowed in at a power plant, and approval for explosives was taking too long. So PG&E had tried dumping water on the slope using a firefighting bucket, Pete Anderson, the senior manager of helicopter operations, told me. It had worked well, and they kept doing it. By Friday morning, Anderson was on the phone explaining the technique to Haack; a few hours later, one of the company's UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters was dangling a 660-gallon bucket full of water from a nearby lake and dumping it on the avalanche slope. The helicopter made seven drops, until the water in the bucket started freezing. Then it dragged the bucket through the slope, like a wrecking ball. "That was pretty effective too," Anderson told me.

Cancel everything, flying a wrecking ball through an avalanche is now my only interest
