That’s just because you haven’t met my label maker. It does the letters one at a time, manually, embossed into a strip of plastic.

Mine’s fine. My partner is also dating someone else and that person is awesome. Sometimes my partner is gone for a weekend, which means I get the whole condo to myself, can take up the whole dining table with my hobby mess, and can order delivery food that would give him heartburn (instead of ordering from someplace he can also order from).

Sometimes his girlfriend visits us, which is a great impetus to clean the condo. She’s also a great cook ☺️

Exactly. Cards can’t be slower than an Internet connection.

I’ve been enjoying Kagi. You pay a monthly fee (there’s a free trial) and get good search results. You can even tailor the results to prioritize or deprioritize various sites. For example, I told it to never show me anything from Pinterest.

Supporting them through colonoscopy prep and being their ride home afterwards. Sitting in the exam room with them as they try and break wind after the procedure. Clapping in delight when the trumpet finally sounds because it means their pain/discomfort will start subsiding.

They still do, at least in Kentucky. That’s where I picked up a case for my first dulcimer. Dulcimers and rifles have similar dimensions, and I needed something quick to protect my new instrument on a long drive home.

Oh, I know feeding live and dead prey are both common with snake owners. I’m a dog/fish person myself, but I follow a few snake people on youtube. I also know some snakes are picky AF and refuse pre-killed prey. I was worried about the comfort of both the kitten and the snake–a live kitten might struggle and hurt the snake. And I don’t know if the kitten had any parasites it could pass on–I’ve seen warnings about not feeding wild mice to pet snakes for similar reasons.

Edit: or maybe the ailing kittens had been poisoned. We just don’t know.

LPT: if you ever get wasps in your house you can use the extension hose on your vacuum cleaner to suck them up. The hose extension means you don’t have to get close to them.

(I’m fine with them outside as long as they don’t nest on my balcony, but inside is a problem.)

Seconding that there is nothing in the dots. It’s just yellow and green dots.

My concerns are whether the kitten was killed before being fed to the snake and whether the snake could suffer harm from eating sick food. Also, whether the “ailing kittens” were already known to the students, as maybe classroom pets.

checks list Cool, the one I added (and documented) is still listed.

I’ve stolen it. I’m sure I’ll find a use for it somewhere

I’m just giving to drop this link here. (Because it’s interesting, not because Nazis lack agency)

I was taught it was about states rights, too. In Kentucky, they were less forceful about calling it the "war of northern aggression.

Did you get taught that some slaves liked being slaves because it meant all their needs were met and they didn’t have to worry about anything?

Huh. I don’t think national pride that was a factor in my disappointment. I was more sad because 9 is a better number than 8, and Pluto is just a cute little guy.

Mine are pipecleanered neatly (couldn’t find the Velcro) and grouped into gallon Ziploc bags.

Mine sure isn’t. We were having funding problems before the pandemic.

Can also denote a difference in government styles: towns have a town council, cities have a mayor. Cities can be smaller than towns.

This depends on your region, naturally.

I use mine as my daily driver. It’s cute and sufficient. I still have a large smartphone at home for some things, but the Star is what I take into the world.
