Sooooooo back in 2008 when I lived in Houston, we got a solid inch of snow… and the year before that when I was in California, it froze so bad the pipes burst…

I used to joke I brought the Midwest with me but it turns out it was just climate change :(

Have to agree all around.

Intensely frustrating.

I wish I could get my pills in bulk but I can’t. I get three new bottles every 90 days like clockwork. Sometimes I even get more! Yay!

I don’t have enough spices for them. Especially since I keep my spices in sealed glass. But if I didn’t that would be a great use!

The light idea is interesting, but you have to really like orange light, and I don’t ;)

Thanks, that’s a good use :)

I actually already have dozens for that sort of thing (as well as beads and other craft supplies, and screws and other construction-type supplies). I’ve been broken for a hot minute (have taken meds most of my life), so I have so many pill bottles. So many.

But maybe I should go ahead and keep them for my farm. I might need real organization. Fuck. Can I hire someone for that…? Fuck.

I thought they don’t really recycle a lot of paper goods from residential waste streams due to contamination (grease and the like)…? That’s why direct-ship companies are worse for the environment than big box retailers (also the fact that they get them in big boxes rather than a tiny box just for you)

Personally I just save all my paper products (except highly inked or laminated) and grow mushrooms on them. Free food rather than landfill, the ultimate recycle.

Oysters love cardboard and paper, or basically any wood product. Most other fungus does not take to it as readily, so it’s a really easy culture to keep going :)

Got any advice on reusing all the pill bottles I have from being broken?

I’ve looked into places that reuse them for pills but there’s like one ministry that takes them and I’d need to ship…

Totally nice bottles without labels and you can’t just take them back to the pharmacy or something…??? The fuck.

I refuse to put them into recycling, they won’t be… so I’m just sitting here with 100 or so bottles just… taking up space…

I went with immortal, shape shift, and teleport.

There’s no range to the teleport listed, and I’m just going to assume that shape shift can alter biological function and not just the meaty outer covering… but ultimately it doesn’t really matter that much because immortal.

This would be a great way to explore the universe and a search for life. Maybe settle down somewhere if you find an advanced society that sucks less than humans.

One proposal was to simply build the new incinerator in the same location as the old one. In fact, the county was prepared to do precisely that until they got a call from representatives of a certain disgraced former president (and now convicted felon). It seems the Doral country club is just 3 miles away and having a new modern trash incinerator close by was not acceptable. The county dutifully turned its attention to other locations.

Can’t be rebuilt where it was because Trump interfered due to being 3 miles from a country club.

Not homes, not workplaces or schools or parks, a rich people hangout.

Imho if it ends up closer to a residential area than it is now, the residents should destroy it repeatedly until it goes up right next to those fucking rich people.

Fuck rich people. They don’t deserve anything nice. Not a single fucking one of them.

I wonder if his brain is functional enough to know the difference between “shit I say for grift” and “shit I say because I want it”…

I guess we’ll know when he either follows through or doesn’t on all of it…

If it’s something I want to remember (to do, to look into, etc.) and probably won’t, I text myself, and leave the notification unread.

It works as a nice backup too, won’t lose them in email or deleting a note app or something.

I don’t have android anymore so I can’t verify this for you, but I’m pretty sure voyager is available over there. The iOS version has user tags, so I assume android would as well.

If you go that route, I suggest enabling the feature to truncate username (remove instance information when there’s a tag, if you always show). Otherwise you won’t even know you have a tag, because it’s inline.

Meanwhile our solar system is a mess. Rings and tilts and giant moons and all. But Jupiter has that sort of stable mathematically pleasing balance as well, so I’ve always assumed this is the “ideal” orbital state; all the planets have reached stable equilibrium and nothing has interfered. It just makes sense that that’s how things default.

Try a heated mattress or chair pad next. Pets love those.

I have a heated mattress pad on my futon couch and my cats are absolutely glued to my sides when I’m on it, even demanding I create a blanket cave for them to fully enjoy the heat. I have another for my bed and same thing there.

I keep my heat super low (60f or 15.5c) because of those heated pads. They cost a few dollars to run per month. My furnace costs hundreds to run per month. Not super comfortable (I’m built for tropical climates; I’m cold at 75f/23.8c), but workable for the savings.
