Nobody likes you.

To everyone setting off insanely unnecessary illegal fireworks tonight, especially the mortars that makes it sound like we're in a war zone:

Fuck you. Fuck you so much. Fuck you for every veteran with PTSD that you trigger within a 10 block radius. Fuck you for every refugee living with us from a war torn country. Also, fuck you on behalf of everyone with their pets, who have been existing in fight or flight for a solid 24hrs around the 4th because people are still apparently fascinated by loud sounds...."ooohhhhBOOMooooh."

Next year I'm finding every one of your asses in my neighborhood and chucking in giant glitter-laden water balloons, before launching a handful of stinkbombs into your back yard and covering your pool deck in Lego.

Nobody likes you. You're the worst. Do better.

Signed,

Literally everyone but you

ETA- Apparently y'all can't read the part that says ILLEGAL fireworks and MORTARS. I get it, it's boom boom day. still. fucking. illegal. fireworks.

Update on Wild Earl the Tiny amd advice needed!

So, I posted about this little guy that I found last night in my garden. He became very attached to me, and just hung out on my hand while I watered my entire garden lol. I was worried he'd get taken out by another animal overnight, so I made him a little habitat with stones and a dish of water, and some wood chips and sticks and left him in it outside where it was warmer.

I checked on him this morning, and he hasn't changed much. I thought he was dead at first cuz he didn't seem to be breathing, but when I put my finger in he perked up and crawled on it. He's still really lethargic. I took the cloth off the top of the habitat this morning and carefully laid it on its side next to the compost bin, hoping the proximity to little bugs might help.

Anyway, I'm going to the reptile store to see if they have wingless fruit flies or anything that might help the little guy. I'm worried he's a sitting duck for predators as weak as he is :(.

Any and all advice appreciated!

UPDATE #2: RIP Earl the Tiny 2026 - 2026 You will be missed, my smol friend

This lil guy kind of attached himself to me in the garden. I've tried to put him down and he keeps crawling back up. Is this how you get a lizard?? (Mojave area)

Great news! Plans to mitigate the intense heat islands of Vegas are underway!

We were contacted in our zip code about this, and will be getting a eucalyptus tree planted and set up for irrigation in our front yard for free by the city!

Looking for women-owned landscapers, contractors, and handyma'ams

After dealing with a never ending parade of condescending men while rehabbing and renovating our property, my wife and I are over it (IYKYK). We want to give our money to women and/or queer owned and operated businesses that don't act like our silly little lady brains can't possibly comprehend the complexity of their manual labor. Also, they're creepy.

We'd like to have a go-to handyma'am for random repairs, but we're also specifically looking for women that do :

  • - landscaping/irrigation install and repair
  • - vinyl flooring plank installation
  • - wall tile installation
  • - electrical
  • - plumbing

Thanks in advance! Hoping for more recs than I'm expecting, lol!

ETA- Sorry to all the men whose feelings I hurt with this question. I forget how emotional and worked up you can get about these things. I'll try to be more sensitive to that in future posts.

Question from a non-trucker about cargo weight discrepancy

I came across a video today about Domino brand powdered sugar and a massive shortage in their bags. Apparently due to a miscalibration while packaging, their 2lb bags of sugar only contained 1lb of product for about a 3 week period.

So, I was wondering- wouldn't someone, somewhere along the transport process notice that their load weight was half of what it should have been? Idk how that sort of thing is tracked and monitored, but I'm confused how that wouldn't have raised red flags...

Retconned by Mayco? A a glaze mystery....

When I purchased my kiln secondhand, it came with quite a lot of low fire glazes. Including a Mayco Cascade I'd never even heard of before- Amber Cascade. Clear Cascade is pc601, white Cascade is pc602, and Amber Cascade is pc603... Except I can't find a single mention or example of it anywhere online. I mean, obviously it's old and has been discontinued, but it seems really weird that it seems to never have existed online at all lol.

Does anyone have any info or examples of this one?
