I cut my first ever dadoes (housing grooves) with a handsaw and chisel, on the way to building this little stand for my two tablets. #DIY #palletwood

This new president is even more embarrassing than the Covid president.

Again begging people not to bring their pets into grocery stores.

@duolingoverde.bsky.social Don't know if this account is official, but how is my answer wrong? (There was no phrase or word listed.)

I know I'm late to the "smart TV" experience, but wow ... No one warned me how irritating they are. (Just finished setting up two of them, and now I want my old TV back.)

I did finally get my package, but I won't be ordering from the seller again. Or any other seller that willingly uses #usps

As of Thursday (Feb 20), the package is back in my city, according to #usps tracking. Let's see if they actually bring it to me this time.

As of Wednesday, #usps tracking says the package is 60 miles SOUTH of me.

I'm not celebrating President's Day until 2029 at the earliest
