Reminds me of an episode of Harmontown where Schrab was complaining about the chairs and Dan said, "can we get Schrab like, a sarcastically comfy chair?"
I'm startled to hear of this, the animation style is so rough and the music is so (damn it) good that I assumed this was a small group of real artists committed to genuine work. God damn it.
Thanks! I'm still a little self-conscious about using it in public since I don't really have the dress sense to go with it, so I probably end up looking a bit like I stole it. But I am happy with the workmanship. Have since started filling the insides with iron-on patches. Wish I could figure out how to attach a stand-up arm to the insides, that would be sweet.
Last week was slightly a blur, my wife is out of work and watching our kid during summer break, but my mother's coming later this week to do some of that. It's also kind of a blur because we started daily exercise again and it always kicks my arse to get back in the saddle with strength training. If I had a gym nickname it'd be "Newbie Gains" because I keep quitting, going sedentary, and starting again from scratch.
They've got me taking on more accountancy tasks at work, sounds like I might be headed in that direction instead of claims adjusting. Fine by me, better than trying to learn maritime claims adjusting while working remotely.
My condolences for you and your family. We lost my father in law almost a year ago to the day, and we still aren't really sure how to process it emotionally. It was so sudden, and we never got to say goodbye. It's like I can't even access the grief in a real way, no idea what to do about it.
...Times like this I regret the silly username, I'm being sincere right now.
That was the part of my answer I wasn't as happy with, admittedly. The way things are in the states make it really hard to see how you'd set up a politically independent, impartial yet informed, and corruption-resistant governing body for any kind of pot of public money. Especially a pot of money that would be clawed away from tyrannical billionaires who would have every reason to want to ratfuck the thing or get their money back.
Feels like they're always adding shit to ereaders to inflate their MSRP. It can and should be a dirt cheap way to replace an arbitrary amount of paper waste.
I used to ride that one between my Seattle and Oakland friend groups. I also once took Amtrak all the way to Seattle from the middle of Ohio with no sleeper. If I wasn't travelling with a frisky new partner it would have been quite miserable.
These days I am liking trains more than ever, the ones in the UK and Europe aren't perfect but even their worst are a better ride than Amtrak. Would love to see the Coast Starlight route again from the seat of a better train though.

Exaggerated accommodation. Comedy gold
Exactly. It's very human to find mirth in any misfortune that we have no emotional connection to.

Nothing beats freshly sharpened chef knives. If you let it go a while, the feeling of not having to work so hard really makes cooking feel fun again.

My wife and I agreed that we wouldn't have been friends if we'd met as kids. We've both come such a long way since then, now we're inseparable.
Unironically yes
It'd be highly context sensitive for me. I had a horrific hamster accident as a kid myself, so I might laugh out of pure unprocessed trauma.
I don't remember much about the view, blame the frisky partner. But yeah, would love to see good passenger trains in the US someday.
Sorry it's a few posts older than I'd realised, had to go digging. Here it is!

His armpit looks like it shit itself

Only thing the dad did wrong is set a bad example by getting caught laughing. Don't they say comedy is tragedy sped up?
I appreciated this joke in a way that would have been easily mistaken for hostility in person
Safest opinion on Lemmy though lol
That's cool! Not a question, just pointing out something I liked :D
