[charlesoberonn]

Turns out you can roll a 7 on a d6

Some Yu-Gi-Oh! bullshit right there

[kaftofi]

our souls swing in tandem but never sway in sync, we dance to the chaotic rhythm of a double pendulum

[hellsitegenetics]

im a big fan of how entering "homo" into BLAST's organism-specific search field will show you every way a scientist has ever typo'd homo sapiens

[littjara-mirrorlake]

in the searched field. straight up "homoing it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My sapients

[lastvalyrian]

sorry liberals, there are only three sexualities: homo, pan, and gorilla

[horsefigureoftheday]

Horse colors are easy. For example, the left horse is flaxen liver chestnut and the right horse is silver dapple

Left is flaxen chestnut and right is golden palomino

Left is perlino and right is amber champagne

Left is dun and right is buckskin

Like I said, easy!

[horsefigureoftheday]

Markings too!

Sabino vs Overo

Snowflake vs Birdcatcher

Leopard vs Manchado

Few Spot vs Dominant White

Roan vs Varnish

It feels cool to be "in" on celebrity gossip before anyone else. I ran into Californian Condor V9 and looked her up on the condor lookup website. It says her current mate is dead and she has no kids but I saw her with a new man AND a juvenile.

[taciturn-nerd]

OP I hope you don't mind but I made a tabloid cover out of this

I used two more condor photos by Andrew Orr and Alam Clampitt from peregrinefund.org

Gotta use the skills I learned from making tabloids out of the Jane Austen novels somewhere right?

Great, now I feel like I'm bird shaming. Congrats V9 on your new family!

[animals-with-fan-art]

This is art to me

[bedupolker]

amazing. SF Gate has this gem but I like yours better 🤣

[pigeon-princess]

The first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was even more perfect than I could have dreamed⚔️

A lot of companies that make things have two separate lines: consumer and enterprise. Consumer is for us poors that the company doesn't need to respect. You can buy more expensive, higher tier consumer items but it's just as fragile. You're paying for more bells and whistles. Enterprise grade is stuff that will actually last because it is often sold in a lot as part of a contract and the contract won't be renewed if the items suck. These things are often just not sold to consumers because why would you ever buy consumer-grade garbage if you could buy this?

For something like computers, this looks like how pricey "gAmiNG" laptops look all fancy but fall apart in about the same timeframe as the lower end laptops for students. But if you've ever handled the sort of laptops for banks or businesses, you'd wonder why laptops can't all be like this. People swear by Lenovo Thinkpads for a reason. Dell's Latitude (general productivity) and Precision (has the power of a gaming laptop but far less bs) lines, HP's probooks, all feel really nice and last for-fucking-ever. But you can't buy them in a store even if you wanted one.

So the trick is to buy what big organizations are buying, but you likely gotta get 'em secondhand when the orgs are done with them. For basic clothes, mil surplus might be a good port of call, for technology see an e-waste recycler or sometimes government auction (you just gotta know what to ask for; ThinkPads, Dell Latitude/Precision, HP Probook/Zbook). Otherwise try to thrift old, pre-enshitification items. The blanket I had as a kid is still going strong and has lived to bury multiple sets of newer bedding (which have worn thin and torn). Kitchen items, see if you can shop at a restaurant supplier.

TL;DR: if you need an item, think "which business needs these to function" and see where they 1) buy theirs (suppliers) or 2) sell their old ones (surplus) and buy that. If you can't do that, look at older, pre-enshitification things.

Thank you everyone for helping make the first day of the Runaway to the Stars Kickstarter campaign a smashing success! Let's see how far we can take it this month! But please don't tell Talita what the book is about.

Runaway to the Stars

Alien, trans-species foster Talita has enough to deal with on the scrapworld of Dirtball. And the sly, crimey A.I. Bip isn't helping!

Ms. Williams said that the production aimed for humor but also to get at some of the richer themes that underpinned Shakespeare’s work. “I wanted to use the idea of non-cooperative actors to explore the themes of ‘King Lear’ itself,” she said. “Because Cordelia’s an actor who refuses to act,” she added, referring to the title character’s youngest daughter, who is disowned after she declines to flatter her father the way her sisters do. In an email, the play’s lead actor, Alasdair Saksena, said that the production was his first experience working with sheep and called the animals “remarkably punctual and calm.” Ms. Williams also had little experience working with sheep before conceiving the production. “They were so cute and fun and easy to work with, unlike people,” she said. On the practicalities of producing a play with animals, she said, “It’s cheaper than paying actual actors.”

Wait, it got better.

He does this a lot, to my deep surprise in undergrad:

For reference, the reason nobody likes this book and you can press tofu with it is that it’s about 1600 pages long.

[horizon-penblade]

It’s also, by all accounts, the origin of Cousin Throckmorton
