I got this pin a few years ago on an early date with my now husband!

I'm afraid that e-motos and modded e-bikes are doing permanent damage to, not just normal e bikes, but all alternate transportation.

It's time to build, Illinois.

It's crazy, I always thought that flying squirrels were some exotic thing, only to find out recently that they've been around me my entire life.

It looks like a big Virtual Boy. I kinda like it.

Relating to steam decks, does anyone have any recommendations for a similar cozy/farming/city builder? This game looks like a lot of fun, but I don't want to spend $500+ to play it lol

Dang, at least it was replaced with some density rather than being demoed for nothing I suppose.

Cute little house! What is this, even? An adu or just a shed?

I've heard many story's of the dreaded surf and turf night. Allegedly, you get it before being told that you're assigned something that sucks lol.

You could also support an actual worker by using a stock photo instead of AI Slop!

Yes! I hate when I click an article and the first line is something like "This is a written transcription of the So-And-So Podcast." NPR is bad for this.

If "prediction markets" where you could bet on the outcome of murders and wars was in a dystopian movie, I'd call it lazy and unrealistic. Insane times.

N. But it's on my "someday" list.

Just picked up a copy! The article on the South Works Quantum Campus is excellent.

A photo of a bunch of NASA research documents, with titles like "STRUCTURAL MARGINS OBSERVED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO EXCEEDANCE", "PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF UNEXPECTED WOBBLE IN A RIGIDLY NON-WOBBLING SYSTEM", "OBSERVED PERFORMANCE OF COMPONENTS KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BACKWARDS", "COGNITIVE LOAD IMPLICATIONS OF ACRONYMS REFERRING TO OTHER ACRONYMS", "THRMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERIALS DESCRIBED AS 'PROBABLY INFLAMMABLE'", "ON THE REPEATED SURVIVAL OF SYSTEMS NEVER INTENDED TO WORK", "THE EFFECT OF CLIPBOARD ON PERCEIVED AUTHORITY IN TEST ENVIRONMENTS", "MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SUBSTANCES EXPOSED TO REPEATED MEETINGS", "ANOMALOUS RESULTS WHICH PERSIST DESPITE STRONG MANAGEMENT DISAPPROVAL", and "A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE MOON'S APPARENT DISINTEREST IN OUR ACTIVITIES"

Some terrifically titled papers from a discovered collection of NASA research documents found in a skip

This is an insane crossover, can't wait to listen to this one!

Four-story apartment buildings connected by a very narrow courtyard. There are made of variegated tan and brown brick and both have pressed metal oriel windows extending from the second to the fourth floors. The first floors have been remodeled for retail.

Chicago's narrowest courtyard building, 1151-1155 W. Webster. Built in 1895 for Max Tonk. I hope it is the Max Tonk discussed here: www.madeinchicagomuseum.com/single-post/... Map from 1910

Also recommending! Her story is wild and inspiring. We learned about her in my printmaking class, but the sculptures really drew my attention when I was there.

Merry Christmas!

Nice! That bridge is a bucket list item for me.

Exclamation point? That means it's a musical!
