Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Maybe I'll make a brutalist clock. Let no angle exceed or fall below 90º. I was thinking it would just be a concrete cube with a minute and hour hand on the front. I'm wondering whether substituting a basic sundial on the concrete cube would be more brutalist, or would that fancify things? That's a...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Deco was a great period for design. Part of my problem finding something I liked was that so many clocks I've looked at have been overly ornate, and that's just not me. Simplicity and steadiness is my speed. Maybe I'll make a brutalist clock. Let no angle exceed or fall below 90º. I was thinking it...

Re: Tel Aviv bullets
If I’m participating in a conversation about, say, street violence and its causes, and every single example I cite involves Latinos and only Latinos as aggressors, people will conclude that I hate Latinos. If I shrug my shoulders at or rationalize examples of violence against Latinos to make it seem...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
For the longest time, I've wanted an antique clock. Something to be wound regularly, with that comfortable tick-tock and regular bong. But I've never found anything that really caught my eye or that I trusted would work properly. Yesterday, tho, I found online an old guy who repairs and sells old c...

Re: Pets.
Nothing about anything makes this feel better. We all know that. But never forget that you were an amazing mom to Licorice and Butters and their mother. Kittens from a feral mom who all found their way into your life— and not just any human being, but you! Absolute jackpot of jackpots. The deal alwa...

I bought my kid a red Sox hat for Christmas on a cyber Monday sale yesterday and this morning I'm reading the Sox are progressing on signing arnoldis Chapman.

Re: Pets.
Licorice won't be around much longer. She's just not interested in food anymore. The appetite stimulant worked somewhat, but her liver and spleen are slightly enlarged and there's a spot on her lung. As much as it hurts, I don't see any point in prolonging the inevitable. After watching Butters suf...

Steve to his credit did regret his actions and was willing to apologise. So that in my book is at least something...
