Our little dog used to let out these long, shuddering sighs when she was frustrated. I used to repeat it back to her, and picked up the habit. Even though we had to put her down a year and a half ago, I still occasionally let out her sigh.

463·1 month agoI’d be so disappointed by this.
Every time I take a day off midweek, it feels like doubling the number of weeks in the week, rather than reducing the number of days.
The SCADA servers.
I deleted when I heard they were levying an inactivity fee in Canada.
I don’t live in Canada, but that was a shit move.
Dairy would be helpful.
It’s in their Investor FAQ.
It’s a little confusing. Their site says it’s open to UN member nations.
Their NEWDEV bond ticker symbol doesn’t show up on any of my normal haunts.
2·2 months agoI usually go with hayberry fields.
7·2 months agoNone of which have beaches like the one in the photo.
4·2 months agoPhillips warm glow are my favorites after watching technology connections. They last, and they look just like incandescent bulbs as you dim them.
Call me a hippie all you want, but I usually go back to Pink Floyd lyrics when I get confused which one to use.
“Straw you, out there in the cold…” Just doesn’t sound right.
Me neither. They dry themselves by the time they need clothes.
I just save it up.
It’s like yelling. Nobody pays attention if you do it all the time.
Optics.
Sooner or later someone will commit suicide while watching your show, no matter what you do. If that episode happens to contain a suicide scene, and somebody rightly or wrongly connects the dots, you want the disclaimer to be there.
142·2 months agoI missed this whole thing. I’ve had them blocked for as long as I can remember.
2 alarms, one on the iPad, one on the phone. Full volume, spaced 10 minutes apart.
Edit: these go off almost 2 hours before I have to leave, and I’m asleep 7-8 hours before they go off. My biggest difficulty in waking up on time is not going to bed with enough time to fall asleep for 8 hours.
I have a hard-stop alarm, set 9 hours before I have to wake up, to remind myself to get ready for bed. A full sleep cycle (including morning routine) is an 11-hour time investment for me.
Certainly. Germany is an extreme example.
I’m from California, been on various trips around Spain, and France, with under a week spent in both Italy and Switzerland.
I love everywhere I’ve been. I’d be happy to live somewhere in western Europe.
I don’t know if European healthcare is better, but it’s far more civilized in its availability. I haven’t seen much difference between EU and USA for equivalent-quality grocery prices, with the exception of Zurich. I’ve found Europe to be generally safe. There seems to be more “sneaky” crime, whereas the States has more confrontational crime.
Freeway etiquette is far better in France and Spain than California. Trains, of course, are better too.
One major difference is labor laws. The EU has far more protection, but far less mobility. I remember telling a German friend that I had gotten a new job operating a fairly large power system, after working in a tangentially related field, without any additional study or licenses, and his response was “Only in America!” I hadn’t even considered that this move would be far more difficult in other countries.
I’m sure many have seen it, but Kersgezat recently put out video that opened my eyes to the less-obvious benefits of exercise.
Are we talking gay or gay?
That word gets thrown around a lot without actually meeting homosexual. Most of the time it’s just used as a tasteless replacement for lame.
