Going home from work and watching Azumanga Daioh is the only thing that calms down my worries lately.
Finally picked up a new optical media drive... now I get back into encoding my CDs and watching blu-ray movies on my desktop again. Very happy about that.
Beer brand and leather store unwittingly named after Māori word for 'pubic hair'
He said it was not the company’s intent to infringe upon, appropriate, or offend the Māori culture or people in any way.
“To those who feel disrespected, we apologise. We also do not think pubic hair is shameful, though we admit it may not go well with beer.”
I'm having chili dogs tomorrow night guys.
I laughed, but it also made me sad because it happens way too often.
aw. I refer you to my post you quoted.
Well, it's still a win if I don't buy anything and the only place I see them is on twitter where he gets no advertising dollars right?
I can't even laugh at assholes like that. Fuck those guys.
Cross-posting from the election page because this cheers me up and maybe some people here should see this information:
I emailed the Cook County Clerk about whether or not my elderly Mom could ONLY hand-deliver her mail-in ballot to the downtown Cook County Clerk's office (if she didn't trust the USPS), or were there other options.
I received this response:
I wrote back, asking if I could hand-deliver the ballot on her behalf. I received this response:If you are concerned about the Post Office returning your ballot, there are other options for you this election:
* You can hand deliver your ballot to any of our Early Voting Sites, beginning October 19 - November 2, 2020. Please check our website on October 1, 2020 for the list of Early Voting Sites in Suburban Cook County.
* You can hand deliver your ballot to your LOCAL Polling Place on Election Day - November, 3, 2020.
I then received a flyer from Lake County, Illinois, which indicated that this was per a law that was passed in June that affected all polling places in Illinois, statewide. But please confirm with your own County Clerk's office.You can hand deliver her completed ballot.
In other states, if you don't wish to vote in person but you're not comfortable with the USPS right now due to Trump's illegal meddling: Check with your own County Clerk's office about hand-delivering a mail-in ballot.

i see what you did there
(for those who don't know, he donated to "march for life")
as for things that cheer me up - actually managed to read a bunch of my book this weekend, for the first time in a bit. felt nice to escape into that world while also listening to some great music.
Got a GCSE in Maths today, at 48. Not dead yet.
You guys look weird on a Chromebook.
edit: I should add that my desktop has been dead for some time now and I've been using my tablet to get online. I didn't want another desktop, so I came upon a Chromebook laptop that wasn't too pricey and was more than enough for my internet needs. Haters gonna hate, I like the thing.

Posted this the other day on my instagram, but I thought these were so cool and they definitely cheered me up a lot, so worth a post here as well.
Was my birthday recently, and a good friend brought these over a few days later as a gift - she'd had them made by a local woman.
aw, that's sweet.
I do wonder at the lady who got the order and what she thought. The Sin logo and the two headshots look amazing, that's well done on her.
-1 for the lack of a backwards "И" though.
This guy was hanging out on our dock this morning. I love birds so much, and herons are one of my favorite animals on the planet. They look like frigging pterodactyls when they fly! Five pics in total if you click through.
feels good to laugh this hard at something, yeah.
welp. i can die happy now.
