@nprofile…07t3 @nprofile…p4t6 Actually, the catalog that was always in the bathroom of the house I grew up in was from a local consumer warehouse of the Chicago area, called McDade’s. They had cheap stereos, kitchen appliances, bedding, home goods like that. Probably the closest thing to it today would be Costco, but without the emphasis on food.

@nprofile…al6u Not surprised. I’ve been thinking for a while now that Trump will go nuclear if he doesn’t get a quick capitulation. When you say last weekend do you mean 4/18-4/19, or 4/11-4/12?

This got him in trouble, of course, although not permanently - he flew for another 20 years for United. (3/3)

@nprofile…h2rj My uncle was a pilot for United Airlines for almost forty years, flying out of O’Hare airport near Chicago. We lived thirty miles west of Chicago, in what was then a small town (the suburbs have since enveloped the town I grew up in, and marched even further west over the prairie). One of my uncle’s colleagues was an older pilot who coincidentally was the father of one my class mates; this older pilot was trained in the Air Force, and had flown fighter jets. (1/3)

Anyway, the story my uncle told me was that shortly after Boeing started delivering the 727’s to United this older colleague was tasked with moving an empty 727 from Chicago to some city in the west, probably Denver. This pilot told his wife to hang up her laundry in the yard at a specific time, and look for him overhead. Apparently he flew over at the appointed time, low in altitude, and did a barrel roll in the 727! (2/3)

@nprofile…elz6 @nprofile…07t3 Nobody I know gives a fuck about Ukraine winning the war. The general consensus is that money sent to Ukraine is laundered quietly and returned to U.S. politicians.

@nprofile…r9u2 That M-504 is an impressive looking bit of kit. The Onkyo I had was at the absolute bottom end of their power range (60W?), and I can’t remember the model number. It was from before the era where Onkyo switched to black finish for all their equipment (in the 80’s?). It had the silver finish, with two rows of colored LED’s arranged vertically to display instantaneous power. This conversation prompted me, once again, to go on eBay and look for that model, but alas no joy.

@nprofile…sy9t @nprofile…hsct I keep a bottle of tablets called Theanine Serene on hand. I find them useful for situations where anxiety might keep me up; if I wake up in the middle of the night, and sense I might have trouble getting back to sleep, I’ll take one tablet and usually have no trouble getting back to sleep. And there is very little ‘residue’ the next day; I don’t feel brain fog like I do if I take St. John’s wort or an over-the-counter pharma sleep aid.

@nprofile…ccvt @nprofile…8r3p It’s all driven by CAFE: corporate average fuel economy. The automakers have to hit certain targets, or they get fined. This drives a lot of the insanity: engines that switch off at the stoplight, cylinders that don’t get used unless you’re going up a hill, expensive and fragile 9 speed transmissions that cost $10k to fix, and so on.

@nprofile…gw86 My local medical freedom group had a meeting the other night, and one of the members (that I trust) said that when she looked into it they had put together clips from earlier in 2025 to create an illusion that this was all happening now.

@nprofile…gm4z @nprofile…hsct True story: our daughter brought the grandkids over a couple weeks ago, and our two-year-old grandson wandered over to the TV (which was playing a football broadcast). He pounded on the buttons of the sound bar, and managed to not only change the sound input, but did something else to it that rendered video playback non-operational! I had to do a complete reset of the Roku and enter new credentials for all the streaming services !

@nprofile…edwx @nprofile…d605 Most of the anti-Semitism that I observe online comes from patently transparent trolls with an agenda. In real life? I converse with people who are fed up with Israel’s special status, Israel’s endless wars, Israel’s genocidal Palestinian policies, and Israel’s ownership of the American political process. I call that anti-Zionist, some might disagree.

@nprofile…r5ne I agree with your positions on pretty much everything you listed, and have had similar experiences where people want to pigeonhole me into very simplified categories: “Well, if you believe this, then you must believe that.” Nuance is dead.

@nprofile…d605 It sounds like you’re painting over previously finished kitchen cabinets? Part of the problem might be that the previous finish is made to be impenetrable; what we think of as drying is a combination of evaporation and some amount of soaking in. If the underlying finish is impenetrable then you’re missing that second component. You’ll probably need to talk to someone more expert than me, but it could be that you have to perform some amount of surface prep, i.e. sanding, to be successful.

@nprofile…jl62 @nprofile…cvrw I have another take on this: yes, we absolutely should have an advance directive in place, not to protect us from “the most deadly virus we’re likely to encounter,” but rather to protect ourselves from the most rapacious and greed-driven medical system that is perfectly willing to murder us for government reimbursement. I was in the process of preparing that document when the narrative switched focus to Ukraine in early 2022.
