Just a rock-licker who loves all things sci-fi, boardgames, and growing my own food, especially heirloom tomatoes.

  • Scared a bunch of kids last night [OC]

    Jump

  • Oooh, you can try what I've done before. Leave the front door open with the interior dimly lit and her hiding in a dark room beyond. When the kids come, she steps from the darkness into the dim light, and it's a pretty good effect with a masked costume.

  • why do our noses & anuses think different types of paper are softest?

    Jump

  • bought a gas dryer thinking we had a gas connection... is this it???

    Jump

  • I'm in southern California and I think most houses have gas hookups for driers, often with gas stoves and gas water heaters too.

  • One of the heads of garlic I grew turned out to be just one solid clove

    Jump

  • I had the exact same experience with the elephant garlic, they took forever to sprout, long enough that I actually dug one of them up to check that they hadn't been eaten or something.

  • One of the heads of garlic I grew turned out to be just one solid clove

    Jump

  • It might be! That was one of the varieties I planted this year, though the cloves I put in the ground looked like normal shaped cloves, just scaled up a bit.

    Jump

  • That makes sense, he was really undersized compared to the rest.

  • I'm lawful good

    Jump

  • And see, I'd swap your Lawful Neutral and True Neutral, as then all the neutrals would feature one long bed edge placed against a wall.

  • Copper Rule

    Jump

  • Maybe we need more Christmas songs that are suitable to gloom of Seasonal Effective Disorder.

    Yes, 100%. I'd like to see more songs about the dark cold that sucks rather than pretend with "merry and bright."

  • Beef Bacon Egg & Cheese!

    Jump

  • Maybe a beef belly cut that's been smoked and thinly sliced, similarly to regular bacon?

  • Somehow, I can tolerate "jpheg" much easier than the forsaken "jif."

  • Microdosing psychedelics shows promise for improving mindfulness in adults with ADHD

    Jump

  • As someone with ADHD, the results of this study are encouraging, but limited. They summed it up well in the article, but the study only covered people who were self-microdosing and then self-reporting, which leaves lots of uncontrolled variables.

    “This study is a naturalistic prospective study, meaning that we measured participants over time without manipulating any variables such as substances and doses they used for microdosing during the study,” Haijen said. “In contrast to a controlled lab-based study, where drug- and dose uniformity is guaranteed. Also no control group was included, so we cannot say if this effect was purely because of microdosing, or if other factors, such as placebo- or expectancy effects, were the main force behind the changes we observed. So this study should be seen as a first step in this research direction, as more and controlled studies will hopefully follow.”

  • Printer cat

    Jump

  • I know right? My first thought was put a heating pad on the windowsill, and the cat will be much more likely to choose that spot.

  • I'm a geologist, but not the fun kind that gets to look at actual rocks.

    I do environmental and some geotechnical work, which pretty much boils down to "Is the dirt poisoned?" and "How hard do I have to squish the dirt to make the future building not fall down?" There's few things to get excited about, but it's steady work and pays the bills.

  • What’s the strangest unexplained thing that’s happened to you ?

    Jump

  • I've come to learn your brain is really good at subconscious processing of things that don't quite make it to conscious awareness. Some part of your brain saw the cop and the deer and was trying to alert the rest of you.

    I had that happen once when I was out hiking alone doing geology research. I reached this area of the woods and was suddenly overwhelmed by this feeling of TIME TO LEAVE. I tried arguing with myself that there was still enough daylight to check out an outcrop I could see in the distance, but the feeling got so powerful, I finally gave in and called it quits for the day.

    I realized while walking out, that with all the little noises of the quail and other animals I'd been hearing all day, that spot in the woods had been silent. The next time I visited the area (and not alone this time), I found a cave right behind where I'd been standing, with fresh mountain lion tracks. Who knows, some part of me might have seen a mountain lion in that cave and was doing everything it could to tell me to get the fuck away!

  • I've always loved his work, a few of these feel like they would fit right in.

  • Interesting how the skintones came out pretty blue. At first I thought it was just makeup on the queen, but then I saw the rest of the fools also look blueish.

  • Interesting how Walt's face stays pretty accurate and consistent, while Jessie's is all over the place. In some pictures it's spot on, others look like a totally different guy.

    We saved the screen mesh when we replaced the windows on the house a couple years ago. Now it prevents a marauding crow from pulling up our pepper plants.
