12·12 hours agoWhen I was little, little, like 3-4 years old, I had a dream where a man I didn’t know was in my room. He told me not to be scared, and I told him I wasn’t. He had a weird, gravelly voice, but I could understand him fine.
He just wanted to know how the family was doing, did so and so get married, that kind of thing. Family gossip.
When I woke up I told my grandmother who turned white and got out a photo album.
I pointed to one of the pictures and went that’s him! Who is he?
My great grandfather Claude, who had had throat cancer and a tracheotomy. He died 2 years before I was born.
If everybody has their basic needs met, the odds of getting prosthetic fingers dramatically increases. I’d be OK with that swap. Bonus: Robot Fingers.
Big enough to hold my personal phone, work phone, 9" tablet, wallet, passport, my medical gear, and my concealed carry handgun. ;) Decent sized!
I have the same bag in a slightly larger size if I want to pack my Steam Deck. LOL.
No apologies! :)
Pocket? I keep everything in a cross body bag.

Gas meter or water meter?
A true dictatorship or autocracy requires a competency level that this administration lacks. They will likely try but be laughably incompetent at it.
If Stephen Miller had more power, we should be worried, but he’s the only brain within 1/4 mile of this administration.

Obligatory photo of ours:
Be able to install and configure, be comfortable with the command line, know how the package manager works, if there’s specific software you need to use, know how to launch it and how it works.
When a kitty loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heartAnd when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy, so was I
When she loved me
First… [email protected] says “Hello!”
Second, this kind of Anglo-Centric story is always fascinating to me.
I’d also suggest the six issue Albion:

And the Luther Arkwright books:

The original story was 9 issues, which were re-printed by Dark Horse, then they had another 9 issue sequel:

Recently they released an original graphic novel bringing the story to a conclusion:

Not just the Williams music, but they have the crystalline fortress of solitude from the Donner films, and based on the cast list they also have Miss Tessmacher and Otis. Re-cast of course since almost everyone involved there is dead… but STILL!

She’s beautiful, you rescued a winner right there!
Red Flags and Green Flags.
Really, it’s all about compatability.
One of the big red flags is how your partner treats “the help”. Do they acknowledge the receptionists? The wait staff? Do they tip well?
If they’re a complete asshole, and you aren’t, that’s a sign it’s never going to work.
OTOH - if you’re BOTH assholes, you’ll probably get along fine, everyone else is spitting in your food, but together you’ll be fine.
