I once had a shave ice dessert that was so good I briefly merged with the cosmic consciousness as a being of pure egoless love and delight at peace with the whole of time and space.

I once saw one of those green turtle-shaped kiddie pools in someone's basement, filled with cat litter. I thought it was completely ridiculous at the time, but I see how a person with a lot of space and a doofy kitty could get there.

right?? we keep trying to get bigger ones with higher sides. I don't really want to go to a covered box, but cleaning pee off the floor when I have 2 young and healthy cats is rather irksome.

what if there are a bunch of us making different Borfs?
Like, my Borf is a vegan banana-based adhesive for athletic shoes, but my neighbour's Borf is medatative physical/spiritual discipline developed from advanced appliance installation and repair practice.

if people are going to keep insisting that breakfast is so damn important, then they can shut the hell up about where I choose to eat it

Hard not to love those green tiered roofs... reminds me a bit of those Bjarke Ingels buildings in Copenhagen. I wonder what accessing those spaces would be like.

Ah! I love this, I feel like helps explain why I've mostly lost my appetite for scifi, even though I adore a lot of the components. I don't agree with the misanthropic perspective that so often driving the story.

right? apparently clams are really sensative to pollutants and close up if the water quality gets too low. So they glue sensors to some clam shells and automatically shut off the public water when they close up.

I dont know if it would be fun for kids, but I heard that in Warsaw the public water system is managed by clams and I kind of want to go see them?

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.
EASY ✅️
Fuck around and find out.

unpleasant, but potentially worth dealing with for a runny golden yolk.
Plus now you have good use for any other eggs or produce that are getting past their prime.

dst bugs me because while any kind of switch for better comfort comes with costs, in this case spreading them out seems to grow the cumulative costs more than it grows the cumulative benefits
comment in response to

Are we mainly thinking exposure to daylight? It seems like those benefits are very unequal across populations, and could be gained from schedule adjustments within the contexts where they make the most impact

Like, 1 person being a little more tired/grumpy/ confused is not a big deal, but when there are big sudden spikes of people feeling that way all at once it can lead to shit like more accidents, delays, mistakes, etc
comment in response to
post
Ah interesting. I think of it from a systems planning perspective. It seems like there are small but real distruptions to time changes across big population that add up to larger costs

So... you *like* changing clocks in the spring and fall?
I find that intriguing. What makes you a fan?

Agree. And also the solution is to take seasonal time changes out behind the shed and make a clean and humane end.
