This train wreck was a test print for a part of that project. Now, progress is not only stopped because of the printer failure, but I've lost my give a damn for the project. Packing up all the parts again to get out of the way has me eyeing the garbage can out of frustration.

she's a political commentator. Left leaning but outside of the Democrat political machine, kinda like Jimmy Dore.
For example, she was hanging with the Young Turks,.was supposed to be a part of a Bernie interview but insisted she be removed because of her past and anticipated criticisms. So she quit.

I think Douglas Adams had a solid grasp:
"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."
He was such a great communicator. This explanation puts Neil DeGrass Tyson to shame:

he blocked me because I supported Massie.
Not because I said anything about his political opinions (like he's a fucking idiot for blindly following Trump) or cast humorous dispersions about his character (like he's a fart sniffing pillow biter)
Just that this guy who is a thorn in the side of the establishment is worthy of praise.
But because he challenges EVERYONE in the WAR PARTY and all corporatists in government, which includes Trump, Massie is the bad guy.

There is in each of us an ancient force that takes and an ancient force that gives. A man finds little difficulty facing that place within himself where the taking force dwells, but it's almost impossible for him to see into the giving force without changing into something other than man. For a woman, the situation is reversed...

"Disease" doesn't mean anything anymore. The term used to imply some kind of external agents like a virus or bacteria. It's been expanded to include anything wrong with you, including stupid shit you did to yourself like "cardiovascular disease".

I think it depends on intent.
If it was laziness ("screw there people, I'm not dragging myself and this baby out of this pew"), social anxiety about being disruptive ("what's the quickest way to quiet the baby") those might reflect poor intentions.
If it was a choice about being deliberately mindful and present for the sermon (if one can be mindful and present while nursing) then I think it's appropriate.
Unfortunately, we don't know her intentions.

Part 2: The furnace
For some reason, masking tape is sufficient to prevent someone from accidentally turning off the furnace.
My father says he didn't put that tape there. So logically, it must have been there before they moved into the house in 1999. That is clearly not 25 year old tape.
And now you know the depth of my father's mental decline.

A tour of my parents' house by way of all of the installed switch guards.
Part 1:the basement
I just installed these two because the Starlink is on one and a dehumidifier is on the other. Don't want your Internet turned off or a damp basement because some nervous Nellie flipped the wrong switch.

I haven't paid any attention to your tool stack. What did you use to create that?

I liked the first season, but when EVERYONE became a hero, it got old. I could buy into the Martian Manhunter character, but when every supporting character got super powers or super gear, I gave up. When EVERYONE is super, the main character becomes less interesting. And if the writers can create interesting characters without making them minor dieties, they don't deserve the job.

I spent yesterday installing a Starlink base station. Now we have a tornado warning, and I'm thinking about taking it down.

Step 1: buy one of the smaller Hawaiian islands
Step 2: establish a high end resort on the island
Step 3: establish a policy where if you run for president, get more than 20% of the vote and still lose, you are banished to the island described above. You can never leave for more than two weeks.
Step 4: establish the same policy for anyone in Congress for 18 years.
