Looks teal to me.

Why does the lizard speak in sarcasm format?

Thank you, I figured out "motherfuckers" but couldn't figure out how "bitches" fit into that statement. I appreciate the clarification.

Probably, but way less neat. Also takes more space in storage.

They lean and spin but don't fall over (until the angle is extreme). Flat bottomed decanters require significantly smaller angles before tipping (depending on the contents of the decanter as well as how wide the base is).

I've never been in a sailboat, but I can confirm from experience that the rounded bottom decanters are more challenging to tip than most others I've handled.

I like this design for decanters. Apparently, for those, they're meant to resist tipping on a sailboat.

Something like this:

Hey, speak for yourself. The only reason I remembered DST was a thing was because I saw a bunch of posts here referencing it.

I have a very bad sense of smell - not sure if it's technically anosmia but if not it's close - but the few things I can smell, I can smell very well and usually identify pretty quickly.

Good to know I wasn't alone in my confusion!

What bedding? There is only fur.

Some friends and I (though sober) once did this to a friend's car so that they would be confused when their shift ended.

I'm pretty sure they didn't even notice.

It seems to me that there's some weird propaganda going on in this thread. I've only ever known one person who has driven while drunk and the only reason I know that is that he confessed it out of deep shame.

I guess it's possible that everyone I know is out joyriding every time they drink and just not telling me, but assuming that's not true, I - being from and in the US - never really experienced a culture remotely supportive of drunk driving.

 

Nothing to add here.

 
 

Now it's a genre.

 

I'm not really sure why.

Yesterday I hurt myself sufficiently that I wasn't really able to leave my bed. As such, I did three things: work, sleep and read. I did technically eat, but I couldn't sit up long enough to finish my meal. I did not shower, sadly.

Anyway, because that's not the first time this has happened, I keep a cache of books in my bed to read when I'm immobilized. Most recently it was these two. The one on the right is the one I started last night and the one on the left is the sequel.

Out of the corner of my eye, I keep thinking they're the same book. They're both from 2019, so it's not impossible AI was involved, but it's not terribly likely.

edit: Visuals aside, it's a pretty good series. The books pictured are numbers eleven and twelve and I like the characters enough to have made it this far into the series.

 

But there's something about them I find distracting.

 

I didn't think my cats would care, but since my dog died, Maze has been ... Aggressively affectionate. To the point that I need to shoo her away if I need any alone time. She wasn't this loving any time over her past fifteen years or so of life and didn't seem like she cared about the dog, but she's been completely transformed since then.

 

I mean, just look at it.

edit: For anyone wondering, it's from the first few seconds of HARDY - Sold Out.

 

They almost blend together.

 
 

Newbie was a rescue from a dog fighting house. According to the shelter from which we got her, they couldn't get her to fight, so they used her for breeding. For her entire life with us, she had scars from where they tied her down for breeding... But despite coming from the most abusive background imaginable, she was the absolute sweetest dog. She was in my life for about a decade and, other than in her sleep, I never once heard her make an aggressive sound.

Unfortunately, she died a few years ago from a failing pancreas. She's the only dog I ever had to choose to let die. I wish she were still here.

edit: She was really stinky, though.

 

A while ago, Maze hurt her ear. Since then we've been giving her all kinds of medication. Obviously things aren't pristine, but she's doing way better and her wheezing has nearly disappeared!
