I love how in America trucks can have a sign that just says "btw if your car is hit by all the rocks flung out of my bed every time the road bumps, it's actually somehow your fault? fuck you" and that's just like a normal and accepted cost of driving a car anywhere
UV bead trinkets are a great way for me to quantify what "UV Index 6" actually means. These beads are normally white when indoors and the speed at which they change color depends on the UV intensity
fwiw PlugShare shows a maximum number of dots on a map at once so if you don't turn off the slow chargers you won't see all the fast ones. But yeah I see your point for particularly northeastern Nevada
I just picked some part of the mountain time zone at random for this but I do see a void in Montana and that one corner of Wyoming
flaked on at the bar, surprise! (not a surprise lol) went home to grill on the roof deck with the love of my life and shit so that's dope
On the bright side recent changes to my room have really elevated the experience of being sick
it's transgender day of visibility, please look at me. also tell your friends you think trans people are neat. also, give trans people your money. also don't vote for people that want to hurt any of us, regardless of party affiliation.
this drawing note I have created for work is completely appropriate for what it is describing, but that won't stop me from giggling immaturely at it

outing myself as a packers fan to show off this gaffe tape abomination I made to avoid giving the NFL or Fanatics money
another thing you can do is have the parent ask their preferred AI "how does AI check its facts"
finally finished installing some cool light fixtures today. the right one needed a 0-10 dimmer which pushed finishing it back a week but now everything looks bright and good (or dim and good, for when you want it to be)
starburst are like fortune cookies in that sometimes you open a pack and you just know the universe has it out for you today
I just got this incredible USBC case for my old phone and I love it, but my one complaint is it is so glaringly obviously designed by a left handed person. the sharp corner right in the palm of my hand and the cable in the way when I hold it are both not very cash money
did you know if you try to rent a @divvybikes.bsky.social bike, and it is stuck in the rack and won't release, the company will just charge you for a 24 hour long ride before maybe refunding your ride later? literally upwards of $200? and there is nothing I can do to prevent this from happening?
some very deceptive clues from our final hiding spot. the sky view showed almost nothing. We could not legally see entire trees from our spot either.
