@FiXato Ooh, I experimented with reading a Pratchett out loud too! (It was Wyrd Sisters, iirc -- I think I did one chapter.)
Being able to do all of one character's lines together would definitely help for consistency, so I'd be interested if you find anything that helps with this ^.^
@riley @gildilinie @twipped ...or a very lightly-tested and somewhat-used OceanGate submersible...
TFW you can't find either of the things you know you have which would solve the problem more elegantly, so you have to kluge something by opening a virgin unopened bag of parts from #RadioShack.
...and then it turns out you didn't need them after all. I have needlessly defiled a sacred relic, and I hate it when that happens.
(Who among us has not experienced this tragic turn of events, I ask unto thee.)
So, anyway, the office's hifi amp (Yamaha CR-600), which weighs at least as much as your average laser-printer, is now in the equipment loft overhead -- so I can finally get this goldang full-height equipment rack outta here...
When authoritarians gain power, the circle which defines "us" gets narrower and narrower as they need fresh scapegoats to blame for their continuing and escalating screwups.
@artemis "we are the Good people, therefore anything we do is Good" seems to be a common (though often unspoken) belief...
@artemis I think I'd only modify that by saying "it's going to get worse but also some things will get better, so it's not just terrible ghastly awfulness from here until we Fix All the Things".
@gildilinie @riley ...and ye gods, but also this was totally predictable. I hope it turns out nobody actually got infected... but that won't stop this from happening again, until we get Pestilence away from being in charge of anything to do with health (which probably won't happen until we get Greed out of office).
proposal: contest to name the other 2 Horsemen of the Trumpocalypse
This mini shelter made to protect cats during rainy weather, spotted in Japan.
If they rename it "The Trump Memorial Center for the Performing Arts", can we then perform the necessary action to retroactively make the name accurate?
(...and then rename it again to get the stench off.)
@dthompson "Well, my broker is G.P.T. Hutton, and G.P.T. Hutton says..." [pauses to see who's listening] [FX: crickets]
@MichaelTBacon I don't remember the chart... :blobcatthinking:
@MichaelTBacon The taste was sorta like rubberized iron or something, iirc. Yeah, very weirdly awful... in a way that builds up.
@MichaelTBacon I do remember some kind of dietary restrictions starting 5 days out when I did mine, but I don't remember the details; it's been awhile and I'm probably due for another. >.>
In any case, I decided to just be stoic about it and go on a fast. (...or was that at three days?...)
proposal to make a point of rewriting Betteridge headlines to be more accurate
"Zionist IYD Party Pretends to be Leftist in Naked Attempt at Credibility" is what comes to my mind, but perhaps others can do better. (I wanted to work in the phrase "false flag", but it came out okkwurd.)
