I understand the skepticism, but Hades 2 is pretty fantastic, in my opinion. It does a lot to distinguish itself while still retaining what made the first one fun. I’ve got a little less than 200 hours in both of them.

A good friend of mine described EVE as a spreadsheet simulator, and I think that’s really quite beautiful.

This is actually kind of a great shit post, I love it.

I support Extra Fabulous Comics and a comic called “The Lost Never Die.”

Extra Fabulous never ceases to make me laugh, and The Lost Never Die is a newer comic with an art style that I love.

Good on you. You only get one body, might as well look after it.

Is that the Moen pulldown faucet I see under there? The weight is surprisingly loud and heavy.

That’s fantastic, thank you. I need less projects in my life at the moment, but that’s a great idea for future log pile organization.

The behind the scenes includes some sawhorses, a wheelbarrow, and a small chainsaw. Pretty risqué.

All good, I like your style with the pallet.

To add onto that, the guy that originally published the “alpha male” study spent a lot of time trying to correct public views and publish corrective studies because he discovered the behavior was only in wolves kept in captivity. IIRC.

I kind of don’t hate this? But it’s a weird use of space either way.

I love seeing Robert in the wild

Wernher Von Braun in programming socks is something I wasn’t anticipating to think about today.

The translation has been lost to the ages

I heard it was a sick ostrich

The lack of paternity leave and shortness of maternity leave in (assuming) the US is absolutely criminal. I was lucky enough to get 4 months, and that was not nearly enough to get my feet fully back under me before returning to work.

The fact that you had to take PTO just to bond with your kid is upsetting and frustrates me because those first few months are so valuable, and I feel like dads often miss out on so much.

You’re correct on the origins of “Lodge.” Not referring to beaver dams, Native American lodges have long been used for housing and ceremonial traditions.

A bit flowery on the language, but here’s something for Deer Lodge

From this page

Through all the traditions of the Indians, the valley has been famous for the plenitude and fatness of the white-tailed deer that graze upon its ever-nutritious and almost ever-green grasses. And so the Indians, true to these facts, and weaving with them a happy fancy, named it after that which it most resembled; and we have it that the Snake hunting parties, approaching the crests of the surrounding mountains, before the pale-face came to the land, would try the fleetness of their steeds to see who would first catch sight of and hail the point of rendezvous “IT SOO-KE EN CAR-NE” “The lodge of the White-tailed deer”. The early coming French, appreciating the poetry of the designation, adopted it literally, and among them it was known as La LOGE DU CHEV-REUIL. But the laconic, matter-of-fact Yankee pioneer came this way, and without remorse boiled down all its traditions and beauty and poesy into the practical appellation “DEER LODGE,” by which name is now known the valley, the river, the county and town.

Wasn’t the king tiger notorious for breaking down constantly? Or was that a different German WW2 tank?

Hello fellow spindrift enjoyer, it’s good to know that there’s others like me. Honestly I just love the lemon flavor (no hate on other ones though).
