It's worthwhile in my eyes. Most people to whom I mention it say "I couldn't work a ten hour day," which is a valid perspective, but also I'd rather lose two hours a day over one day a week.

I would prefer 4x8 though.

I was going to mention Reign of Fire until I saw your parenthetical insert.

Guess I'll go back to my physics-based MMO.

Sounds to me like you lost your mind about this.

TV tropes? There goes my day.

I work a four day workweek, but I also work 25% longer every workday than most people do.

I'm grateful for my extra day off, but I'm also tired every workday. And a lot of non workdays.

That's an awesome TV.

Has she now learned the rest of the alphabet?

Dude! What does mine say?

Where's my car?

We are all made from starstuff.

No, that's a different, well-known user.

But what temperature?!

FWIW, my reference was to H2G2 and the Heart of Gold.

 

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!

 
 

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

 

Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.

For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.

 

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.

 

My 5-year-old has set up a selection of large rocks on the railing of my back porch, which my kitchen faces.

In the kitchen, there is a small TV with a red status LED, which due to the window construction reflects twice.

As I naively walked into my kitchen, the only person in my house awake in the early morning, the rocks and lights lined up in an alarming way. I got quite a start.

(I know the picture isn't great quality ... I think the phone camera didn't want to focus on reflections. Also I zoomed in to hide my kitchen clutter.)

edit: Clarifications.

 

Do you want to live in the city or country? Either way, why? Is there a specific place you'd like to live?

He's a good boy, though.

 

Either it was a local thing (I originally got the picture at Good Will) or my search skills are lacking. My wife loved it so I wish I could get her a reproduction.

Earlier today, I basically passed out. (I've had guests for most of the past week and have had very inadequate sleep.) Before I fell asleep, I texted a friend about a YouTube video that might interest them (Legal Eagle suing Honey). Then I fell asleep.

While I was sleeping, the friend responded with their insights about the case. I have no memory of it, but apparently the attached picture is how I responded to their comments on a video about a legal case. For some reason, that friend did not respond.

edit: Just refining the wording.

 

Like the title says, I accidentally blocked someone. I tapped the three dots under someone's post and then accidentally tapped again as "block user" fell under my thumb. This user doesn't seem like someone I want to block, so I would like to unblock them. I found the "blocklist" under my profile, which says it lists blocked instances, communities and users; but (while I haven't blocked any instances), I only see communities. That said, it's not allowing me to scroll through the blocked list, so possibly the blocked user is lower in the list. If I navigate to the user in question, I see how to block them again, but no option to unblock them.

How do I find a blocked user and how do I unblock them? Thanks in advance.

I've loved this song since I heard it on American Dad! It took me an embarrassing number of views to realize that the older and younger couple are supposed to be the same people, though. (Knowing Portuguese might have helped.)
