Have you seen the housing market? Sometimes you have to deal with a roommates bad habits, even if he is a spirit.

At least he doesn't leave dishes in the sink.

I hear a loud bang as if from another room. Like a trash can falling over, or a someone dropping a bag with about 10lbs on a hardwood floor, or a pushing a wooden chair into a dining table too hard. It's enough to think "what just fell?!".

It does not sound like a door closing, or stomping, or something fragile moving or falling.

I startle awake, realize I'm the only one awake, and that there aren't anymore sounds so it must have been my brain and I pass out fully.

It's pretty strange and I think it's funny how I never really thought about it until now.

Based on the comments in the thread, they asked it to repeat before actually having it say anything so it repeated the directives.

There's a whole bunch of comments relocating it with chat logs.

I have dogs and for the last ten years or so, owned indoor sneakers. I do not like slippers or sandals so I buy some running shoes or something, cheap ones, on sale. They last forever because it's indoor only. I replace them when they get smelly.

I do not wear shoes that have been outside, in my place.

Works for me!

Love this idea. It's an idea that's easy to break down to children as well, help them narrow down their options when someone is talking to them.

This is one that will stick with me for sure.

I actually do not remember where I heard this, but I was unhappy at one of my past workplaces, and I felt like nothing made sense anymore. The purpose of my job, the product, the people... I would ask why or seek deeper understanding and received nothing back.

The advice was "when no one has your back, it's time to move your back".

It stuck with me because it applies to friends, family, work, and life in general. If you do not feel supported and able to give support back mutually then it's time to place yourself in a situation more beneficial for you and those around you.

It doesn't place blame, it's simply a validation statement - you feel x, so do y.

I don't know that they deserve favorite because of what they are, they don't even have much of a smell! But there is just something about them I love, and maybe it's memories or how "wild" they look as they grow in bunches. It reminds me of wildflowers in a field.

I feel like all these giant legal teams have such incredible capabilities to push lawsuits however and wherever they want - it's honestly hard to just keep up with what is happening and why.

This article does a good job of explaining as Ars typically does. But every lawsuit we read about these days is so convoluted that I can't really understand it as much as I would like to.

Black-eyed Susan. They grow in big bunches and expand outward each year in a ring where the seeds fall. Just a simple flower that stands out in late summer in my area and lasts through fall. It's low maintenance too.

I really tried, a few times and I just can't make it exciting. I find it so boring to search for people and tags I wantto follow. That said, I wasn't a huge Twitter user before, and i don't have bluesky. I'm just hoping one day, mastodon clicks with me.

Can't speak for the author as to their intentions, but that's what I took from it.

I'm not vegan, I'm not trying to speak for others, but it is my takeaway that the point is an animals life is worth less than a digital steak.
