Can you recommend anything for learning more about this? We’ve been trying to go through the USDA because we cannot afford a down payment, but they require the house to be in basically perfect condition, meaning there’s nothing we can afford.
Same great Dharma, new SolarPunk packaging!

Yeah, I started with 32, upgraded to 40, and then decided screw it and jumped to a half gallon. I keep the 40 around for when I make smoothies or something. It’s oversized, but it has a straw and keeps everything nice and cold
I’m… Gonna need further elaboration
I use a half gallon insulated metal water bottle/jug and it’s incredible. I love it so much, and I couldn’t go back to even a normal sized one. I drink easily a half gallon a day now. I’m about to upgrade to a 1 gallon, because the lid on my half gallon is difficult to open, and the 1 gallon has a much better lid. I know it seems ridiculous, but it made a carry bag for it with a strap to wear almost like a messenger bag. I can carry all my shit and get hydrated at the same time. So fantastic.
Also, buzio is the brand on Amazon (I know. God, I know, but we don’t have a lot of options where I live. If anyone knows a better one, I’d love to hear it). They’re great. Everyone in my family has one in different sizes
This one is sort of very specific and niche, but as a caregiver of someone with an ostomy, you can take a roll of this disposable plastic produce bags from the grocery store. Terrible for use as a produce bag because they’re plastic and disposable and whatnot, but for bag empties when you need to use something disposable no matter what? They’re invaluable.
Also doggy poop bags. Great for that. Just grab one of the small almost empty rolls, and tell the cashier “I’mma take these” and no one gives a shit
Honestly, kind of mind blowing even thinking of them as a technology, they’re so ubiquitous. I use a knife a minimum of 10 times a day, and that’s just in the kitchen, not including opening mail, packages, small medical stuff, and a ton more uses. Holy shit, where would we be without those inclined edges?
Awesome comment to read at 430 in the morning. Thank you
I would not say most gay men are terrified of vaginas. I’m not sexually attracted to vagina, but I’m also not scared of it, anymore than I’m scared of wrists, another thing I’m not attracted to, or tattoos, another thing I don’t personally have. They’re just a thing that’s there, and that I’m not into. Same for most gay men I’ve met.
Also a gay man, and yeah. No sexual attraction to boobs at all. I’ve played with straight girl boobs while drunk, because straight girls do that when you’re in your teens and early 20s, but it’s always been sort of a drunk funning around thing, not a sex thing. I have the exact same amount of sexual attraction to girl boobs as I have to, like, knees. They’re a body part, that’s about it.
It’d be amazing to have my own little secret abandoned city haha
I think I may have kept this a secret, had my amazing secret enormous underground city to myself, and announced it’s existence in my will.
Anthropology was also my first love, so I probably wouldn’t have done that, but it’s fun to think about lol
Had to Google that, but wtaf
Reminds me of the Buggre alle this Bible from Good Omens. Absolute favorite scene from the books and it didn’t make it into the show.
Bulbs v switches is actually why it took me so long to get them to begin in. Having bulbs, inherently disposable things, full of tech seems… Less than ideal. But where I live, the electrical is rough. Like, we have 1 circuit, the light circuit. Everything else is messed up and turned off at the box, including all the 220s, except for the water heater. Run everything off power strips and have to turn everything off to cook. Lol. I don’t want to mess with the electrical in this house. I want to move. Lol
Similar boat (sans furry), and I’ve recently decided I’m tired of being lonely. I’ve started going to a trivia night at a local bar that someone from my church hosts, even though I end up playing alone each week*, and I found a MCC church (basically, gay church) and went there, where I found a gay men’s discussion group I’m going to attend on Monday. I have two friends, both straight, but I’m hoping to get them and some people other people either through them or through trivia/discussion group to help start a bowling team.
*Even though I’m the only one playing without a team, I’ve come in second twice!
In October of last year my mom came home from the ICU, now unable to get out of bed. I replaced all the bulbs in the house with smart bulbs and put the fans on a little smart plug thing. It made me really like the idea of home smart home features, but I’m not techy. They’re just Alexa enabled for her to use with the fire stick, and I use google home on my phone for em.
Can you offer any advice for ones that don’t require internet? Every time our power goes out (any time there’s a storm), I have to go around and reset them while they flash at me like the worst night club
I have no idea. I’ve got some lidocaine viscous they gave me for the pain. I’m lucky enough to have medical, just not dental. But from experience, it helps temporarily numb the surface pain, but if it’s in the root, or if you’re pulling the tooth, it does not help.
My first thought when I saw the headline was “Can it help me pull this tooth without it hurting so badly?”
I mean, it’d have to go better than my attempts at learning Spanish. Lol. 5 new years resolutions in a row!
I wish I spoke German. That’s exactly my type of humor. Lol
What is zangendeutsch? Google isn’t giving me much in the way of English answers
I will do that. Thank you very much
