It’s season 14 of the 2005 reboot. The pre-2005 stuff is “doctor who classic” now, and there’s I think 26 seasons?

I mean honestly the fact that it isn’t blows my mind..

You would think these companies (railroad and those using them for shipping) would have a legitimate and strong interest in knowing exactly where literally everything is at all times.

If they paid taxes, maybe, but imo they are being compensated already for something they aren’t even doing.

No. It was a job that could have stayed fully remote but was instead hybrid. And it was a big waste of time job. I could have had another job at the same time.

Does that include all the animated stuff, do you know?

I haven’t used kagi, but I believe you can do exactly that with it. You do have to pay for the service, but that’s probably a good thing.

This is a link to the features page. It allows you to permanently ban or boost results from specific domains. But you may need to do some manual effort to make that happen, I don’t really know if there are community-curated backbones or anything for that.

But you can also see if the result is popular, and they seem to work pretty hard to make their platform worth the spend. Everything I’ve heard from people who use it is good.

I don’t live in an apartment anymore, and I moved out largely because I’m asocial, and want as little incidental contact with others as possible. I’d like to do something like this in my town but that’s not really likely to work because, again, asocial. I could set it up and nobody would know unless they saw it. And looked.

But it gets me thinking… if a person were to just go into a random unsecured apartment building, such as the one I used to live in, and put up a small shelf with the community pantry building instructions laminated and pinned above it, and seeded it with some goods, if it would just spontaneously take off.

When I used to work at an airport, we had tip jars that looked like decorative glass bricks. I took to putting a few dollars of my own money into the jar every day, in a very obvious way, and the tips came in much more steadily than not seeding the jar.

I bet the same could work in apartments, even if you don’t live there. I’m going to try it; I have an old shelf and some dry goods I don’t really want, and I know the old apartment complex; it’s full of people who move out in the middle of the night because they can’t pay rent, car break-ins happened not infrequently, but never anything within the building, neighbors let you know.

It’s one of the cheapest places I ever lived, and it’s still in the same condition I left it a decade back, despite renting for almost 200% what I paid then with wages not keeping up. The windows were rotting out trash from the 70s and haven’t been replaced, something I can tell from the parking lot and I let them know about before I moved out. If they haven’t fixed that, they haven’t fixed any of it, and are letting it degrade willfully. Desperate people always exist.

Interestingly, I’m pretty sure she got that “dress” (really, it’s panties and a corset with a mesh dress over top) on Amazon. I saw nearly the same thing just today. It was $25 and listed as a rave costume.

So your drug hypothesis is supported so far….

(Yes yes, I know it’s not actually the same thing, but it might as well be… normal people wouldn’t go out wherever in that..)

You know, this made me realize I have literally never, in my 30(mumbles vaguely) years seen one of those salon chairs with the hair dryer..

Is it because curls went out of fashion (they were huge for a long time, but less so now), because we have permanent ways to do it, or because we have curling irons now?

I’m guessing curling irons, but I’m way too lazy to look into it.

My favorite weight loss exercise is existing but being very cold. Not even joking. That’s the whole thing.

If you want to balance calories with low effort, expose yourself to whatever temperature you shiver at (cold water is great for this because you lose heat 25x faster when wet). You burn an absolute ton of calories for heat, and recruit beige fat cells to function as brown fat cells which exist only to burn through fat to maintain homeostasis. The more you shiver, the more effective you are at ambient calorie burn when you don’t shiver.

Cardio is wonderful for upping your overall metabolism, as is building any muscle. They also both work to strengthen your overall system. Do those things. They are good for you.

But for pure calorie balancing and deficits, cold wins hands down as far as effort involved. Because it’s just sitting there being uncomfortable, and that’s easy, some of us are that way always :)

Personally I’d love to help with community gardening initiatives… sort of.

I’m presently working on an indoor root crop system for urban dwellers, just as a hobby. I don’t actually want to profit off it, I want to develop it to help fix the world, but with the present system, I feel the absolute need to monetize it in some way, which is anathema to how I want to exist and it being low cost and accessible for low income households.

Capitalism hinders progress. It’s really sad and demoralizing.

I’m going to release it for free anyway when it’s done - when it’s a reproducible system and not just an interdependent idea - but it’s never going to benefit me, and that sucks because I’m poor lol

(Just the first bit with the shotgun)

Also I assume some magic was involved.
