Glad to hear it. In revisiting it, the steel will be harder than the casting, which is also a bit thin below those holes, but if it doesn’t wiggle a ton, and you don’t just drop the whole contraption on the ground, it should last quite a while.

We’re missing way too much context here. Public or home? My home or someone else’s? How many other people are nearby? Which body parts are involved? If this is a poop situation, how much and how firm? Is there a bidet/hygiene sprayer?
Depending on context there are many potential solutions:
New College has the double whammy of being Florida’s most liberal public college, and also by far its smallest. It didn’t have nearly the cultural insulation to survive DeSantis even as well as The larger schools who have alumni scattered across various levels of business ands government. More’s the pity. New College was something special.
UF for instance slow played everything its imported, uselessly-conservative president Ben Sasse thought he might want to do until he got bored of spending the school’s money on his friends in Washington — as in they literally got jobs with UF but never moved to Gainesville — and finally quit.
TCU @ KU
Frogs trying desperately to find a way to lose this game, but failing so far. Great punt return.
It’s okay guys. You can just call it a Tempest 2000 emulator. Don’t feel bad.
Tres comas, indeed.
And plenty MAGA asshole enough to have hired a neo-nazi to set sale pricing.
One of the low key things I find offensive here is the intimation that interstellar aliens would have used a design as idiotic as the STS’s mixed-fuel horizontal stack. Apparently they have pork projects in the Space Senate on Ceti Alpha Prime.
AKA it’s going to be a big god-damned mess to actually get rid of you, so here’s the lowest-level work we have for your job description. Good luck in your own case and with re-election, asshole.
Honestly, the fact that there were any professional consequences at all is a bit of a relief. Anybody with half a brain and an ounce of empathy could tell he pulled an ego-driven schoolyard-bully move and deserves to be punished, but with nothing “officially official” being done to the girl, it was always going to be hard to turn it into a removal from an elected position.
Also: while I don’t know the selection process for US Navy submarines, my experience with the military is that you can have an opinion about how you want to be posted, but no actual decision-making ability. So I may hope to fly Navy jets, but the Navy can simply say: “fuck you, you’re going to be stationed on a submarine,” and there’s little I could do about it.
You not wrong in general, though with submarines in particular, longstanding policy in the US Navy is that you don’t put people in them who aren’t willing to give it a try, specifically because of those close quarters and limited options in an emergency. I have heard stories of people having a hard time getting other postings once they’re qualified sub-mariners, but having a crew full of resentful balls of anxiety is not worth it to them.
I guess in return, they get a little more money, better food (at least until it runs out), a vague sense of exclusivity, and a more casual culture arising from the close quarters and the actual risk of death being a constant motivator to do your job well.
Something tells me the People’s Liberation Army Navy might take a bit of a firmer approach to postings, but I don’t know for sure.
More Tales to Tremble By is the only one so far I might be eventually talked into thinking is the one, but no epiphany yet. The low angle drawing of the house and the sailor peering over the railing feel familiar (particularly that greenish wash over the sailor one), but they don’t quite match the admittedly 35-40 year-old memory in my head.
The Tales of the Black Freighter vibes in it are pretty cool as well.
I just looked through it and that’s not the one, (art style is too different) but I have to say I love block-print drawings. Hell, seeing all this mid-century spooky artwork has been really fun even if the for-sure right book never pops up.
Thanks!
Maybe we can be ecumenical and call it Canadian Warehouse Sci-Fi. LOL.
See also Killjoys, Dark Matter, Vagrant Queen, Helix, Ascension (some scenes), and I think Orphan Black would fit alongside The Expanse. Soooo many darkly lit industrial-themed loft apartments, barely disguised warehouses, and underground tunnels that (in the real world) let people avoid the weather while downtown. :-)
Doesn’t prevent a show from being good, far from it, but it’s an identifiable look.
Funnily enough, YOUR show seems to have been filmed in France, LOL. Canadian warehouses are a state of mind, I guess.
I hate you. 🤣🤣🤣
“Toronto warehouse sci-fi” was almost its own genre for a while, with The Expanse sort of being the apotheosis of the form.
Nope, still have the other half of the H&H. It’s an all Florida OOC next year.
End stage Fry’s was so weird it could have been a Terry Gilliam movie or something. Vast expanses of mostly empty aisles with the few bits of leftover inventory still there, but interspersed with filled-up cages of AliExpress junk at 10x the AE price or 3x the “get it tomorrow” Amazon price. Then there would be one or two areas where the vendors had gone along with their cockamamie “we’ll sell your shit on consignment!” scam, and a few sad employees trying to avoid making eye contact.
Yet Microcenter endures.
Same as this year but H-A flipped, right? Maybe we just keep Billy around one more year… Football is boring anyway. 🤣
More like battery acid and corn syrup, at least for the regular flavor, and I say that as someone who likes it.
