Same, minus the bell, because if they can't be bothered to be alert to their surroundings I don't feel the need to work for their comfort any harder than calling out a couple of times.

Or just phasers, like Star Trek.

Warmer weather is nice, though, since there's a faint chance they'll vaguely hear you screaming at them after a near-murder.

Seriously, use your words people! (If people w/headphones are startled after I've called to them twice+ that's on them and I don't feel bad.)

Innocent

I try to call from a long way "I'll be going by on your left" so as not to startle them. They often jump anyway and then I feel bad because usually it happens before I can say "there's plenty of room." Definitely always good to thank the jumpers.

Trump’s statements on Iran increasingly contradict each other The president has made conflicting comments on questions both large and small related to the war.

"Increasingly" doing a lot of... something here. Time compression? Pretending to start not-sanewashing?

The cruelness just oozes through the internet tubes out at me.

You should really start feeding that poor starving boy.

*For the yoots - a penny is a piece of metal that was used to help pay for goods and services in the olden days.

An old penny sitting in my palm.

Found this and picked it up earlier today, so per the wisdom of the elders, there are seven hours left for the Big Event to happen.

And if you want to support people having jobs, stop using the self-checkout lines. They're there so businesses can avoid having to pay actual humans.

I am totally gonna figure out how to do that tomorrow when I'm in my post–work annoyed mood.

Yeah, reporting pointless. Although the other day I did threaten that to the door-to-door solar guy wouldn't leave me alone last year despite being repeatedly rebuffed, and just showed up again.

I read it before visiting a friend in Savannah. Made the place feel even more great. Should be required reading.

Sane when sleeping.

NO!!! The photos of that dog all make him look so sane and sedate.

Sorry, not sure how a blank photo just got added

I've been giving a lot of texts in the last couple of weeks, suddenly. But at least not personal. Yours is really creepy.

A faked handwritten note saying "Dear Homeowner: My name is Daniel Simon My Wife is Mary. We saw your house and we're interested in Buying it. Please Call us at 508-505-4226.

The developers somehow got even more gross. Found this not-freshly-handwritten note taped to my door. Reverse number lookup leads to an "Avrahami Property Investments."

(Free tip to the vultures: Don't start your pitch with pissing off your potential marks by scotch taping notes to painted doors.)

Plus the W 2nd (presumably) and 3rd (photo evidence)!

Woutje GOOOO

WHO IS EVEN WHERE AT THIS POINT?!? #Paris-Roubaix

Thanks for posting this!

Heart nearly exploded when they jettisoned those first chutes.

HFS that's still so fast

Trying not to think of a whale and a pot of flowers up there

Ahhhhhh!!!! They're still there!!!!!

Watching badass grown-up astronauts flicking food for other badass grown-up astronauts to fly through the 'air' and catch in their mouths is 1000% the distraction we all need. Highly recommended, hope NASA posts that one for posterity.
