If a Halfling wants to abuse this to 'hide inside an upside-down bucket' I think the Halfling deserves to become a bucket

It also violates collusion laws and also collusion clauses in their own terms found at

Kinda odd that they chose to adbicate any fiduciary responsibility in order to prefer a book with an extremely specific physical design on the basis of durability, despite that design being so specific that it costs >10 times more than less specifically-designed books, when the only people who can acquiesce to such a request are political figures of the same affiliation

To top it all off the email/text had information redacted not by blurring it with paint, but by using characters in the same font with the same line breaks.

I mean seriously, who does that? Only time I've ever busted out inspector to modify a website or tweet or email is to elaborately troll someone with a sceenshot.

Did they really use inspector to redact info out an legit document about an allegedly widespread thing that no one else can produce, or did they draft the whole thing, used strings of 'x' to mark where to blur, and forget to blur? /shrug

It's helpful to have a sort of pyramid in government for the sake of balancing the workload (someone managing foreign policy shouldn't be bothered to give a shit about a pothole in Utah) but what we could do is not burden states with these kinds of things and kick it up to the federal level. For a while it was, and it was stable and consistent, but now it's not and that's the mess

I can't vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what's real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!

That one's real tho - higher res image here. Truck beds are mega flimsy up top aside from the stake pockets

I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.

And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.

I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought "have I lost my mind" and had to go back in and return it right then and there

Be me, postal worker. One of our machines uses a csv file to attach zip codes to bins. See fresh engineer decide to change one zip code in notepad really quick. See file's formatting get wrecked. Spend next 6 hours watching all the mail spit out of the very last bin every time they think they finally fix it as if machine has irritable bowel syndrome. Engineer earns nickname 'boy wonder' first week on job

That's a lot of words to say "absolutely not dysfunctional"

And then we have beavers which have seemingly mastered the use of gates in order to direct and impede flow
