Looks like. I was in Coober Pedy a few years ago and it was pretty much an ordinary town with ordinary buildings. There was a mining museum including an exhibit of how they used to furnish old mines and make houses out of them but I guess modern air conditioning has pretty much ended that.

Edit: ok the town was pretty fucking weird actually and very interesting. But it does appear to be 99% made out of ordinary buildings

Holy crap my iphone goes hard — I do not type like this:

“Women are not allowed in this world anymore because they don’t want their husbands and children in this country and the rest are forced into the hands and knees to get to work for their own selfish desires “

It’s funny but for non-dog people: this is actually measuring something. If your dog is so upset that cheese is not interesting then that is a very upset dog.

Thirded

I assume 3M makes those inserts for their hooks because it’s difficult to mass-produce cheap hollow objects with a firm flat back.

We don’t have that problem.

I have stuck all manner of things to the wall with command strips — power strips, 3D-printed hooks, boxes… whatever has a flat back works fine.

I miss meaningful discussion of RVs and sailboats

The problem (… a problem …) with this happy little fantasy is that Biden is old and timid and won’t rock the boat. We need forceful reaction and he’s just staying placidly in his lane.

I only responded to your one comment. Not a lot of events to mix up the order of.

Perhaps I responded to your narrowminded and accusatory comment before you sent it?

No, it went like this:

You said, “all child personality problems are caused by parents”

and I said “no they are not, and further, you are an asshole for claiming that”

Some personality disorders are caused by trauma and abuse.

Some trauma and abuse are caused by parents.

The world is big and you are being a narrow-minded asshole with this kind of comment that confidently places blame on people you don’t know for things you don’t know about.

The problem is that sending in a resume and applying for a job takes effort. If you invite people to spend time and effort and mental energy to get a thing (job) when you know you won’t give it to them, then you are wasting their time and effort and mental energy, which I can tell you as somebody who fucking hates looking for jobs, that mental energy can be in serious short supply for people looking for work.

That “fresh pile of resumes” is definitely good for you when you want it, but the giant stale pile of resumes that you keep throwing away is not free for the people sending them in.

Hey man, do you want to be grammatically correct, or do you want to speak clearly to people who want to be a cop? Sometimes you have to make a choice.

I feel like requiring a drivers license for motor vehicles is ok.

I used to be that way with most poems and now some poems make me cry even when I don’t feel like I know what they’re talking about.

Hoarders gone wild?

11-year-old posts are fine. It’s not like pizza-cooking techniques become obsolete; if there’s old wisdom I still want it.

It’s just, you know, better not to quote shitposts, you know?

This thing where search engines only want new results is actually quite bad. I was looking for advice on exactly how to physically arrange the wiring and connections for some batteries in parallel. SearXNG gave me great results that were really helpful from electricians posting on old forums of varying age. DDG and Google only gave me bullshit SEO sites. But they were new!

I am personally impressed. That is a very bad year.

Is Pandora any better than Spotify at paying artists?

You need to use trigger warnings for this kind of shit.

What is this song actually singing about?

Edit: I answered my own question:

Feminism absolutely arrived because women made themselves a source of trouble.

I just came back from the National Park at Seneca Falls NY about women’s liberation. Women are even still today working for equal rights, and women’s right to vote came after 70 years of activism and fight.

We will get improvements to housing, wages, health care, and every other good action we need from our leaders and wealthy powerful society, when we make it more uncomfortable for them to keep helping themselves than to change and help the rest of us — and not one minute before.
