That would explain the use of 2x12 (2x10 maybe?) lumber and how it kinda disappears into the house past the siding. Still, I wouldn’t want that lumber exposed to the elements like that - it’s like asking for moisture to penetrate the structure.

Thank you for posting the obligatory Klaus video.

Also: no ledger board on the house side of that deck. Even with proper post support, it’s still a widowmaker.

What’s amusing about this is that actual silicone dildos would probably work better and would be more hygenic.

I got this a lot when I was an actual boss. It was always done in a brotherly, jokingly left-handed, kind of way. This fits perfectly with my management style. It was nice.

If it’s satire, it’s really close to the line. So close, that I wouldn’t be surprised if right-wing propagandists ran with it, just to prove a point. After all, if a big enough group of crazies rally behind something like this, they’d be stupid not to.

Oh bother.

Or just a t-shirt and flip-flops.

That’s not a server rack, that’s an SCP.

Skill issue. Nexusmods exists for a reason.

It’s been… how long?! Oh no.

it’s a play on the HD/4K thing. SD for televisions is “standard definition”, or what we had before HD: good 'ol NTSC.

Edit: sorry to hear about your med situation. Personally, I can’t do any of the uppers for this because they wreck my gut, and leave me feeling strung out at the end of the day.

Another meme here said it best: “Yes, urinating is something we all do but if you’re doing it 60 times a day, you may have a problem.”

Adderall for the adderall god.

I’m old enough to have been diagnosed with ADD, or I guess now that’s “ADSD”.

Whoa. I got the other neruodivergent thing where recalling to eat on time is a battle. I had no idea that swung the other way for some folks.

Indeed it is! It also comes up under autism too… the way these two diagnoses intersect is evolving in real time.

It also applies to chores and overcoming the dreaded “wall of awful”. It’s called “parallel work” or “body doubling.”

“Swedenmark” would also work.

20 years? More like somewhere between 30 to 40 if we count early WWW and the Gopher+Usenet that came before it. The GPL isn’t quite that old, but the spirit behind it sure is. If we count early home-computer clubs back in the 70’s (like the one that birthed the original Apple) or the ham-radio crowd that came before it, we can push into 50+ year territory, easy.

I hadn’t considered AI being a paywall around the whole WWW but now that you mention it, it kind of looks that way. I’ve opined elsewhere that social media companies (e.g. Facebook) are building walled-gardens to keep eyeballs and attention-spans locked on their brand of reality. This would just be another avenue of attack in that strategy.

Good god. Lemme guess, the propellant in that can are CFCs and they added lead to lubricate the spray since it kept clogging the nozzle. May as well add arsenic for flavor.
