Tense Fence
I have essentially given up on the one and only community I created. I opened !engineering@sh.itjust.works when I first came to Lemmy, and did my best to regularly post interesting things. It was really exciting when I hit 500 subscribers, too! Unfortunately, I ran out of steam before the community took off. I also moved my time and attention elsewhere. At this point c/engineering is dead unless someone else picks up the baton.
Sorry for the rant. But it felt good to get that out.
I had to Google it. Mr. Pembrose is the eyeball lying on the couch. Lacking a body, he is physically incapable of doing anything. That’s why he’s angry at the world: he exists but can barely participate in existence.
I’m not sure I get the joke. Is it simply the dissonance of a butcher shop being named after a children’s story?
Collecting body parts goes back centuries. For example, embedded within every sanctified altar in every Catholic church is a relic from a saint. The first-class (most desirable) relics are body parts.
Private ownership of saints’ relics used to be expressly forbidden. AFAIK it is now simply heavily discouraged. So you might have trouble making a business out of it, unless you can convince the church that you are legit.
And good luck getting permission to authenticate any of the existing ones. God specifically said you’re not supposed to put Him to the test.
Big 90’s nostalgia right there. I remember my friend’s dad bought a laser disc player for their giant rear projection TV. We watched Top Gun and it was the most awesome thing ever.
Yeah. I love water!
Swimming! The summer heat is here (it was 98F/36C today) and the neighborhood pool is open, so there is no better place to be in the afternoons.
I’m sure it’s been years. I tell myself I maintain my bikes well, but I’ll be honest: I usually ride it 'till something breaks. I was asking for this one.
Happy midsummer!
I visited Sweden years ago. On the trip I was invited to join a family’s midsummer party. It was lots of fun!
I hope I can go back some day. It’s a fantastic country.
Debbie Jellinsky: [meeting Gomez] Isn’t he a lady-killer!
Gomez: Acquitted!
Hey, no kink shaming.
Competing standards and clueless sellers are bad, and then the tire marketing makes things even worse.
Marketed for road? That’s 700c.
Marketed for mountain? That’s 29".
Marketed for ebikes? That’s 28".
But all three tires fit on the same 622mm diameter rim.
Throw people in prison and then they aren’t homeless. Problem solved! /s
Thanks for giving us a great app!
I don’t have any good advice, but I can relate. As a kid you only get one (very limited) view of your parents. Over time these awkward but eye-opening moments happen where you have to realize they are normal people, too.
If you really want some fun, hang out with your parents’ old friends and ask them for stories. You might learn more about your folks than you expect (or want).
Yeah. Though now that you mention it, I never found out the name of his other leg.
Their first customer is American Airlines. The airline is paying Graphyte to capture 10,000 tons of CO2 to offset emissions from its planes.
