it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

By the end of the 1920s “Science and Invention” had a surviving readership of four or five people.

this might be kind of a reach but is there a way for printers to connect to devices so that documents can be printed from them

I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

Interviews with hockey players are fantastic, because it is a complex game that can be spoken about at length, but during the intermission they'll find the Wettest player imaginable on the losing team and for thirty seconds they'll ask them things like "what do you need to do to get more pucks in the net?" And the player (panting, haunted behind the eyes) says something like "well, we've got to get them in there"

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

when you are eating chips you will often be like well how about one more chip? and then you will eat one more chip and be like well how about one more chip? and what do you think happens after that?

What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.

guys i have to show you my favorite house of all time. words cannot describe. have you ever wanted a house with a pool because do i have the house for YOU

2 bedroom, 2 bath, a nice exterior. i like the red door and red chimney!

the kitchen, i thought, opens up to the backyard/pool. it's not quite my style but i think they were going for some 70s futurism and i don't hate it, you can work with it!

huh, the living room seems... small.

not a huge fan of the bathroom and second bedroom, but...

wait, this is the master bedroom? can i get a layout on this thi--

oh

[aropride]

[fractiousrvt]

Everything about that layout is Certainly A Choice but...

Wtf is this nonsense???

Why are there 6 rooms labeled bath???

Why are they all clustered together around that one room???

Why does one single room have direct access to 3 of them???

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET IN THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT??????

[inkonablock]

Can we talk about the insane pricing history, too. This is clearly a nightmare to sell.

[inkonablock]

OK SO I HAVE INFORMATION

This house was not originally a house. That's why it's weird as shit. It and the house next door were built as a single property in 1948. The 'Master Bedroom' was a glass enclosed hallway connecting the two. See this plan from when the properties were subdivided into two in 1992

Previously, both buildings - which were really one building - were owned by a Robert H Belsky. He sold the building on the left (the main house) in 1992 and retained this weirdo building.

This is the main house (left) with our Weird Fucking 'House' sort of of behind it to the right. There's no listing photos of the main house as the person who bought it in 1992 still owns it, so it's never been listed on the internet.

The Main House is ~3,000 sq ft and has 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathroom. It sits on just over 3/4 of an acre and is valued at about 600k

This was a BIG house for 1948. I mean it's a big house for now but it's an enormous house for 1948 (assuming none of tat square footage is from later additions)

selling the house and moving into the pool house………mr belsky i salute you

i love how weird kids are. they make up the most bizarre stuff when left to their own devices and it's never what an adult would naively predict a kid would do in their imaginative play

my friend's 5 year old recently got a toy veterinary medicine set - it's super cool, like one of those mini play kitchens a lot of kids have, but it's set up to pretend to be a vet (it's this thing) - it has stuffed animals and things to weigh them, give them medicine, take x-rays, write on their charts, etc.

so this kid, who is five and to my knowledge has no experience in the administrative bureaucracy of modern healthcare, puts a stuffed pig named Piggy on the exam table. she pretends to draw blood from Piggy using a fake syringe, and the blood goes into a toy test tube vial that she calls "the resulter"

i'm playing with her, right, so i'm like, awesome, what are the results of Piggy's blood test? and she says "we have to send it to the scientists." so we send the vial to the scientists (put it in her bedroom) and when we get back to the vet playset i'm like awesome what did the scientists say? and she says they have not gotten back to us yet

so she rolls her eyes, exasperated, and says we have to call the scientists. she pretends to call them. apparently, they tell her that Piggy's blood test is "at the bottom of the list" and "we have to WAIT." she frowns. we wait a bit longer and call them back. they tell us it will be a while! she says we should go ask the scientists in person so we go back to her bedroom and she inquires at this imaginary lab, at which point the scientists yell at her and tell her now they will make us wait even longer!

keep in mind she is 100% directing this play. she is making all this up. she is fully in control of this game, and she has decided that what we are going to pretend is that we are dealing with this exhausting nonsense, not actually treating Piggy.

finally the blood tests come back. they are inconclusive. the scientists do not know what is wrong with Piggy. the little girl walks back to the stuffed pig on the exam table, sighs deeply, and says in a very serious voice "we can never help you."

i'm obsessed with this kid. when given complete control over a make believe scenario, instead of becoming the heroic rescuer administering effective cures, she is instead a beleaguered vet making multiple calls to an overworked lab only to be left unable to help her patient.

10/10 no notes. kids are amazing
