An alleged 45 degree arm-involved gesture

Casual reminder that you can buy a brand new AR for $500

It's been a particularly awful winter for me and my wife to get literally anything done, with the rapidly increasing frequency of worldly horrors sapping all the energy that would be remaining after a workday.

I know that lack of exercise is a huge contributor, I really need to clean up our spare room so I can liberate my power rack and start lifting again. Looking back at pre-pandemic pictures it's shocking how much stronger I even just looked then. I probably won't ever deadlift 475 again but I'd like to get close.

Also I'd imagine a rodent infestation would be particularly devastating lol

You cut a hole in a wall cavity and a rat the size and shape of a cantaloupe just rolls out

Either somebody is sparking up somewhere in my building and the HVAC is spreading the odor, or some chemical that smells remarkably like good weed was opened in my lab. Regardless, it's given me quite the hankerin' but I still have to be here for 2.5 hours.

It's back up for me already. I feel like they could have milked it for a few more days, but I suppose they are confident enough that there are will be no financial consequences to continue operations until they're "officially" in the clear.

I don't think they would sell, but who knows. My running theory is that the message they have up including a "Help me Trumpy Wan Kenobi" and the CEO attending the inauguration are concessions they made to be saved by Trump.

How can our money be real if trees aren't real

Absolutely hilarious play by TikTok and probably the most easily avoidable PR disaster for the Democrats in decades. I laughed so fucking hard when I saw this, I can only imagine the panicked phone calls that are happening right now.

It didn't really feel to me like there was much filler, despite the length of the movie. I'm a casual fan of the musical and I did not have high expectations going in, but I was very impressed. I'll definitely be paying to see the second half in a theater when it comes out.

Had a little mental health nature walk with my DLSR during my lunch break today and got my first bald eagle pictures 🦅

It was flying around some high tension power line towers with a half-eaten duck corpse, which was pretty metal. I'll probably post some pictures later.

The movie is true to the musical, if you enjoyed the musical you will probably love the movie.

I've done this a few times but I prefer to use it only as a last resort. For stuff that nobody really wants (what I have) it takes a lot of time, and unfortunately there is a relatively high potential for some real weirdos to find out where you live.

Have you tried using a white noise machine? I literally cannot sleep without one (or a fan) anymore, and I usually throw in an eye mask for good measure.

A T break would probably help, although I know that's much easier said than done. Edibles always knock me out but I'm pretty sure they make my sleep less restful overall.

Finding or buying materials for cheap to use in future DIY projects that take an enormous amount of energy to complete is the biggest trap ever. I have a stack of about 1500 paver bricks that I got for free 3-4 years ago sitting in my driveway, finally got around to starting a walkway in the fall. Digging out grass with tons of shallow tree roots and leveling the ground is brutal work and I couldn't get it all done before winter, now it's going to be another 3-4 months of staring at bricks.

Anybody want like 20 pallets of various size, wood type, and state of deconstruction? How about several piles of rocks, ranging from fist-sized to Atlas stone? All of these wonders and more can be found in my driveway, begging to be stolen by a good samaritan.

It would probably be fine but I've never heard of anyone doing that lol

If you have a food dehydrator, drying it out for a bit with that would probably produce better results, but considering how cheap pasta is you might spend more on electricity than you would just buying new pasta.

I am going to try Lemon8, but I still am not convinced that TikTok will actually get banned. I think that ByteDance probably had some kind of contingency plan to sell last minute as a last resort and we will see that happen sometime before 1/19.

Not sure how long it would take to erode away, but it's probably on the scale of billions of years. There's really nothing out there.
