It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip.

It should be interesting to hear how they plan to make this determination. I just know from the rural side that the burden to serving poorer communities usually is both technical and financial, like building out a few miles of fresh fiber to serve a handful of residences. That’s why they have programs in place to push expansion into those areas, and the telecoms involved there are already bound by progress and reporting requirements. I guess it could be a different situation in areas where the population density is pretty consistent across the board.

I almost had this half-baked thought about the northwestern moose population being separated from the ones in the northeast, but then I remembered that they don’t need passports to get into Canada.

Glad it wasn’t just me. It wasn’t often I paid attention to usernames on the big subs, but it seemed like at some point they were absolutely flooded with “Adjective_Noun_1234” users, and I couldn’t stop seeing it once I noticed. Those and the comment-reposting bots (which probably won’t be called out by other bots anymore without a usable API) made me wonder how many actual humans I was interacting with.

I’ve had too many of them, and yeah, they were mostly easier to sit through than a routine cleaning. It’s definitely the kind of work where it’s worth going to that small practice that ONLY does endodontics though. Nothing against the regular dentists, they just have a lot on their plates, and generally don’t have the same perfectionist attitude about it when they have a schedule packed with all different types of work.

Thanks, I do remember the first documentary, but didn’t realize there was a follow-up. Sad that nothing good has really happened with the property since then. It could have been reverted to a nice public space around the lake if nothing else, but all they get is a historic marker and apparently too much leftover trash to even develop it commercially.

We had an amusement park called Geauga Lake close to where I grew up in Ohio. Not quite as big as the famous Cedar Point park which was a couple of hours away by car, but it had quite a history, and was a really popular one for school trips, company picnics, etc. It went through some ownership changes, and was eventually closed and left to rot with many of the original structures still sitting there after the coaster parts were sold off. Haven’t looked into it for a number of years, but it was weird seeing that same entrance building we walked through so many times just decaying.

The old “just walk out” skeleton meme has never been more relevant.

Thank you, I appreciate it. It really helps to learn that it’s identifiable and treatable.

If anyone believed the line about how community members should have a say in what happens to their subs, there you go. Congrats on your upgrade to Democracy Gold.

Imagine we’re at the point where the Titanic has split in two, and the remaining portion is held afloat by trapped air. You can patch the hole made by the iceberg, but it probably won’t change my plans too much.

Same here, never knew it was unusual until the internet informed me. I could just be wired wrong since it also starts kicking off involuntarily in an uncomfortable way when I’m around too much loud conversation.

The theme here is that he doesn’t even care enough to create the illusion of caring. The community was never given “democratic” solutions to dysfunctional mod situations until this business reason arose. There’s no community liaison trying to do damage control or make the users feel heard right now – just the CEO himself telling everyone in the plainest terms that nothing they say has any impact because he does not care. People should take all of this at face value.

The absolute worst. Sometimes they just have it on the emblem/branding, which is manageable at least. Then there are the ones like above with glossy plastic and reflective silver lining everything so the sun can find a direct path to your retina from any angle. It’s almost recall-worthy in some vehicles.
