A lot of sites seem to suggest having the puppy in the room with you
Has nobody done a broad, empirical study? I guess there's not really an ethical way to do that when your controls could screw up a dog forever
I mean plenty of dogs never sleep inside with people at all so I dunno about screwing it up forever, the dogs will probably be fine
okay I guess they could end up with really annoying habits which kind of is screwing up a dog, in that the dog is fine but you'll have a hard time getting anyone to put up with it I gues
we always had indoor-outdoor cats, like almost every neighbour around us
if I would get a dog I'd like something similar. Just pattering around at their own pace. Coming to me for pets occasionally. Preferably able to eat the goddamn food that's freely available all day without me having to get up and go downstairs to shake the bloody bowl seriously I do not know why you feel the need to include "whine at the humans" as a step here, Cat, just go eat!
anyway I guess what I'd want is an old and lazy dog that could lay around, occasionally getting up to go eat something, while I lay around, occasionally getting up to go eat something
as we are all being highly encouraged to have a holiday in norway this year, Ålesund.
I forgot to add a fun fact here, apologies:
most of Ålesund was destroyed in a big fire in 1904. It got quite a bit of aid from both norway and abroad, but most notably a lot of assistance from Kaiser Wilhelm II, who sent four warships with emergency shelters immediately and helped a lot with the rebuilding. He'd vacationed there a couple of times. The city was rebuilt in brick in art noveau style - what we call Jugend style. Hence it's unique architecture.
Aside from being situated at a marvelously pretty site, of course. This is what it looked like before the fire.
also while the map doesn't have to be filled in I like anybody do love a good map with lovely crinkly bits
I constantly wrestle with this urge
because I love seeing my setting actualized and I want to pour over every little detail and city and coast
the edges of the map implying far off mysterious lands with little or no detail is one of my favourite thing
maybe not the greatest idea when players can actually insist they're going to go to the city of dawn and try to cross that great eastern sea you just hinted at on the far edge of the map
also I've changed my mind
@Havelock2.0 if your map isn't this detailed get out of my face
I feel there is a light side and a dark side to food science. While the light side is like, extracting pistachio oil and emulsifying it into a cream to make dairy free gourmet pistachio ice cream, the dark side is doing
well it's doing whatever this is

It makes me think of "blue raspberry" flavor (i.e.: citric acid, raspberry essential oil, and sugar). It's a candy flavor that would be really gross on pancakes and and is generally overwhelming in all but small doses.

I'd be offended to my core if I put something blue on my pancakes that didn't taste of goddamn blueberries

I've blocked so many advertisers on twitter now that I exclusively get weird shit that makes me sigh, but isn't even compelling enough to tap the block button.
Shit like reproductions of Issac Newton's journals, framed in a light box. A service that mails you 5 famous historical letters a month. Apparently the perfect gift for a father who loves history. Or necklaces that look like a photo of your pet.
Adverts so wildly off the mark that I don't even have the enthusiasm to put them down.

One time I got a targeted ad for an $800 toaster oven with PWM controlled ceramic heating elements, a convection fan, and a heat-camera based system to check doneness.
Like, how dare you, come on to my feed, and offer me the exact kind of dumb, unnecessary shit I would actually buy? How dare you deconstruct my shameful buying habits with such perfection. And the photo shows a single cookie in there baking correctly, is this a fucking personal attack?!
I blocked the advertiser in a flicker of self awareness and clarity. I still to this day occasionally look up fancy toaster ovens hoping to find this god-sent product again. Maybe so I can buy it, maybe so I can prove to myself I wouldn't. It's impossible to be sure. I won't know until I find it again.

i finally set up my audio interface w/ daw at my new home, after just playing unplugged for a while. i don't want to haul out a 15 foot cable every day and plug it in. i also need the audio interface accessible on my desk because it has some physical controls that must be exposed. so now i need to spend a preposterous amount of time figuring out an elegant solution to have this cable always at the ready but looking nice.

What about a cable tie and a little hook screwed in under your desk? Like on the side near the interface, maybe even hanging in a way where you can plug it in to both devices with the slack still looped and on the hook, provided you're sitting with the guitar at your desk?
A nice $1 solution

if your desk is ikea be sure to drill a pilot hole. ikea's veneered, wood-like composite material will take a hook but it'll shatter into a thousand pieces without a pilot hole
even if the hook is like "no pilot hole needed". yeah sure on wood. but this is """wood"""

For a fancier solution make the hook out of solid gold
if your desk is ikea be sure to drill a pilot hole. ikea's veneered, wood-like composite material will take a hook but it'll shatter into a thousand pieces without a pilot hole
even if the hook is like "no pilot hole needed". yeah sure on wood. but this is """wood"""
I asked an IKEA person about drilling holes in it and she got a very concerned and disgusted expression that told me a lot more than her answer did
I have issues with the creation of a condiment whose appearance and packaging is readily confusable with toilet bleach
I had this problem

It's not like IKEA is the sole user of particle board. First guess would be particle board to solid wood ratio is about 20543:1 in furniture usage worldwide.

Guys, I’m not saying you can’t post about BLM and the developments pertaining to it in [chat], but there’s a dedicated thread where you can talk about all of this to your heart’s content.
I feel like some people have become institutionalised by [chat] and no longer venture outside.
people are horrible out there tho
Are you kidding, I’m getting agrees and awesomes out the wazoo in these topical threads
These people are generous
Chanus revealed this trick a few years ago and despite it being revealed it's only become more and more true.

i don't really regard it as a trick. it makes sense people would use the reactions more often- it's focused topics where people clicking on that thread are likely to be emotionally invested.

On the table of the IHOP it is syrup.

The problem with ikea stuff is things like the desktops that are a weird hollow core hardboard sandwich thing
Though drywall fixings might work
Command strips also a good option
