There are other similar websites that can walk you through registering to vote, but I like this one because they make it easy to find out what elections are coming up. Just put in your street address. No sign up required.

There are a lot of hobbyist stations connected to Weather Underground. I have one! I got it more because we are in kind of a microclimate area slightly different than the city's main station. And also we are prone to hurricanes and other windy conditions, so I just wanna track the wind outside to know if I have to run out and secure loose items.

With the Weather Underground widget, I can have my station data right on my phone. Forecasts still go by the main city.

Fun fact, the mast for the old DirectTv dish was the perfect size for the weather station, and gave me an excuse to climb up and take the dish down finally.

Some people just don't have a Clue

I never thought about alternate materials for quilt batting. How interesting! I've been saving scrap fabric for a crochet rag rug and baskets.

Have you tried this technique for joining shorter strips? I imagine it would be tedious to use this method to join long strands of yarn (pulling and pulling the other end through the loop to cinch the "knot"). But maybe would work ok with plarn?

Omg, the joke just landed. I was wondering what the eff a teat owl was until I finally said it out loud.

Maybe this should go in no stupid questions, but I'm curious to hear the explanation too. Am I just outdated? I thought every good home first aid kit should have a bottle.

I would do this to incentivize shoppers to take as many as possible. Like at a charity shop that needs to make room for a sizable donation or just to churn the shelves a little.

The sign is still pretty amusing tho.

This sounds like a fun thought experiment. What are the cyberastrological signs?

"Oh, she's such a typical Myspace"

"I can't adult properly when AOL is in retrograde."

"I'm a Lemmy with Linux in the fourth house"

Will Everclear freeze (in a typical home freezer)? Or does this require going out for dry ice?

I've heard that the authors using 2 initials + family name are usually women. As women used to struggle to get published if their name was obviously female.

 

I'm keeping an eye out for it. We first saw it on our way out to dinner. And I didn't see it when we came back about an hour later. Hopefully mama found it and got it home. It was barely bigger than a softball. I already know of a rehabber collective that I will call if I do see it again.

 

Got up to Carter Fold last Saturday. I don't think I had been in over 40 years when my grandma dragged me there to watch her clogging. But now I enjoy bluegrass more and am nostalgic for things of home, so I convinced my aunties to go with me. Twin Creeks String Band was playing and they are very good. We had a surprise random tv personality visiting, on her own road trip with her besties (Carla Hall from Food Network). She had no self consciousness whatsoever about getting out there and dancing despite not knowing the "proper" dance steps. It didn't matter. A good time was had by all.

If ever you're near Tri-Cities, make time to go to a Saturday night show. You won't regret it.

 

Found it in my pool while I was getting it ready for summer. Rehomed it to the neighbor's pond where it will have lots of turtle friends.

 

Found him in the skimmer this morning. My hand must feel more cozy than the basket as he chose to take a nap once I picked him up. I carried him across the street to the wildlife refuge marshy area. Be free, little 🐢

 

BG was sponsoring the Atlanta Olympics that year, and some marketing person thought it would be a fun idea to put our home state on name badges as kind of a US ambassador-like gesture I guess for all the extra visitors the parks expected.

I don't know if we saw an increase in visitors that year. Williamsburg is like a 12 hour drive from Atlanta. But I did have one guy complain to me about the Italian food we sold in the cafeteria, that it was horrid, and his wife was Italian, and she couldn't eat this. Almost 30 years later and I still remember that guy. Why was he remotely expecting decent food at a theme park? I have no idea. And I still have Funiculì, Funiculà running through my head on occasion. Thanks BG.

 

It's just a handy place to put my phone down for a second. Or stash a pen or a credit card.

 
 

This came up in the rotation on the tv and it amused me. I tried asking it for a pattern but it was unresponsive 😂

 

I don't really see many people talk about this game, but I also could have just missed its heyday.

I really enjoyed playing this game. The hospital and the metro stations were my favorite things to brave. And having to sneak into a nest of monsters to recover something for someone.

Played on the PS5. I didn't care for the add-on DLC fight ring stuff, mostly because I hate timed missions. I much prefer the dangerous urban exploring at a leisurely pace.

Has anyone played the first Dying Light? How do the two stories compare?
