    My AC/HVAC story: we had window units, everywhere I lived in Philadelphia. My little brother was super bad about turning his off. He’d leave it on the entire day when he was at school so his room would be nice and cold when he got home. My aunt kept yelling at him for this, for the electricity bill. Finally she took away his AC privileges (for whatever length of time was meant to serve as a punishment, idr). Then he snuck the AC back into his room and set it directly on a milk crate in the middle of the room, pointing at him. It exhausted all its condensation directly on the floor. We rushed into his room one night and it was like getting hit by a jet engine. Fantastic stuff.

    this is incredible, because you'd think with how loud and hot it would make the room, he'd realize it was not working as intended and turn it off. and yet...

    Our pool in high school had a real.small locker room so we got used to towel changing on the deck and would just do whatever at other schools

    This apparently caused scandals at more than a few tournaments and got us complained about because people would just full nude in a small towel at big events

    A+ job team

    We also had a guy with a cocaine problem who was breaking records

    Sounds like he had swimming problems and cocaine solutions

    Trying out Threads.

    Seen a few questionable posts (i.e. the ones that would be acceptable on Twitter with Elon) disappear almost immediately.

    Interesting. It definitely feels better to use than Twitter has in quite some time.

    Does it? The feed looks like noisy trash to me, even after a ton of time muting and blocking and having some follows

    For interaction inside a thread once youre engaged I dont hate it but I HATE the feed, it seems like the laziest history-ignoring thing Ive seen in a while

    Did we learn nothing from MMO global chat

    Haven't looked at the actual feed, but I don't expect a brand new app to be as dialed in as one I've been curating for a few years.

    Also, after Twitter, I might just have incredibly low standards.

    If you arent looking at the feed how are you using it? You just...search people and read their posts?

    You said you saw questionable posts so I assumed you were in the main feed?

    I did mostly searches and read stuff from people who are posting, I didn't do a big scroll of the main feed.

    There were questionable replies to people I was reading and they got bugzapped p quick.

    i am hoping Threads will direct more people to using one of the various other federated services that isn't owned by the guy who enabled the rise of global fascism

    Good luck with that.

    I hope the same, but people don't want to deal with the federated nonsense.

    @Powerpuppies @tyrannus @Tumin Training went wayyyy better today. We talked about revisions to deadlifts for next session i.e. using a trap bar until I can get enough mobility in my hips to not smack the bar into my knees. Felt like we were getting on the same page with that, which was good

    We did shoulder press today and the main thing for me is just developing enough core strength to keep everything braced while I push. It's kind of humiliating to just be doing bar+10s but I suppose that's why I'm here.

    I did manage three pull-ups, which is cool because I've never done that before

    Then I did 1x5 at 160, then 2x10 at 100/70 (or something) on a lat pull down machine

    Then a couple of dips, then 3x20 at 50 on a pulldown machine and my arms are dead noodles now

    Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

    Hive is the one that had a catastrophic API permissions problem like the week it launched right? Anyone could post anything as anyone, edit anyones posts or profile.

    Strict overhead press is hard as hell and it's more technique than you'd think if you arent bending backwards or using a little knee movement.

    I decided I would never ever make a Tiktok account when I was first linked one of their videos and it transitioned into a 4 second tease of their most popular vids, each cutting off before the interesting part, in one of the darkest fucking patterns I have ever seen in my life.

    I was like, oh, so this is the fentanyl of social media, I see. Nope. Never.

    I also find it incredibly annoying that instagram won't allow you to replay a video you already have loaded and just watched without an account. You have to refresh the page. Ten thousand years dungeon.
