One of my current co-workers. In his previous job, his company had him managing a warehouse by himself. Doing all the work, including the jobs that by the company handbook required two people and protective gear that they also didn't provide. When they were finished with that place they fired him for 'working unsafely'.

Not his responsibility, but still a dumb way to get rid of an excess employee.

I'm glad my school uniform wasn't as formal as that one.

I don't get it.

Well, I shoot myself in the head a lot. It's a habit I'm trying to -- whoops! There I go again.

I had no idea it was such a mystery why wet dogs shake themselves dry.

What do you think of me eating the last of the chocolate when my SO used the last of the milk?

I see some of the strangest questions in the sub. Objectively awful thing that only benefits a morally bankrupt few - yes or no?

What for? We haven't used up the old one yet.

Well, I imagine rule 3 of time travel will apply.

  • Don't change the outcome of WWII.
  • Don't kill your grandfather.
  • Don't have sex with your self from another point in your personal timeline.
  • Don't add yourself into background scenes on the Death Star in Star Wars.
  • Don't step on butterflies in the Lower Cretaceous period.

The wealthy have an out. Peter Thiel, for example. He has a private compound in New Zealand he can bug out to if it gets too hot where he is right now.

Two machines designed to do the same job in the same environment look similar? Nah, that doesn't track.

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?

I've been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I'd really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn't be poked, scan what shouldn't be scanned, and things proceed from there.

I recently watched a Wyloch's Armory clip about using painter's tape as edge-cladding for corrugated cardboard tiles. Has anyone tried this? Does the tape take acrylic paint well? If I let segments of tape overlap at the corners, how thick will it look?
