Someone named Gary keeps using my email address to sign up for golf reservations and I take an outsized amount of joy by using the links in the email to immediately change the password on the account and cancel the reservation

@webuiltthiscity Bravo! Alas, someone only uses my email account to order diabetes supplies from Canada, and I'm not inclined to take similar actions in that case.

So frustrating that every different waterproof case sold for the is the actually the same subpar case with dozens of different companies slapping their name on it, and it is so low-quality that it can't keep out dust, let alone water.

Why is search so broken just absolutely everywhere? It is 2023, and somehow search is considerably worse than in 2013 and arguably 2003. I’m not even talking like, google searches, but I’ll get to that in a sec. I’m talking the entire practice of making information findable

@emilygorcenski Class solidarity actually requires the use of more commas, because everyone needs more breaks in both their workdays and sentences.

Parallel universes are real! You shall be sent to live in one... forever.

You will get a choice between 5 universes that each have a similar collection of languages though technology & culture may be very, possibly hazardously, different.

To make your choice you may request one (1) kind of typical artifact. This will be fetched from each universe, you may compare to make your choice.

Electronics will be disabled. If the artifact doesn't exist... you get nothing.

What do you request?

@mcv @futurebird @mkarliner The question is whether world E is always sending the same pills. Maybe there is large impending disaster that everyone has been issued euthanasia pills and nothing else matters.

Who keeps telling banks that they need to break copy/paste in login forms? Seriously, there must be a person with a human name who keeps making this recommendation. I need to know it.

As far as I can tell, the only big difference between and is that the branding is blue now, just like half of the other streaming platforms out there.

Just ate a healthy 865 calorie breakfast - progress!

Homemade granola (lots of nuts and seeds), homemade yogurt (2% milk so could be even more caloric), banana, dried cranberries, and half a home made blueberry yogurt muffin.

I think there is a case to be made for the Democrats to appoint a white guy to the who has enough privilege in our racist sexist society to loudly tell the conservative justices to go fuck themselves in private meetings without personal repercussions.

Kind of infuriating that the only place still taking seriously are vet offices. I just had to drop off my pet rabbit curbside and could not be there for his euthanasia, despite how many other people are off gathering in crowds indoors without masks for no good reason.

Camponotus detritus
Camponotus fulvopilosus

Why do so many desert-dwelling ants from the southern areas in Africa have fuzzy gasters? These are basically very similar to carpenter ants from other parts of the world, in most places there is a species of Camponotus this size, often black with majors and big colonies, but in the desert they get so lovely with their fuzzy bums.

These ants are common in South Africa. Camponotus fulvopilosus queen and a worker holding a pupae. These ants are a dark matte black with light brown fur on their gasters.
