Would be cool to have a piano to practice on too.

Professor Adhikari when they turn on his machine and get the perfect signal that same night: "[Whatever, I don't have time for this nonsense. You young whippersnappers need to understand that the world doesn't work like that.]"
A few weeks later after eliminating every other possibility he is finally warming up to the fact the signal is real and a Nobel Prize-worthy discovery was indeed made by amazing coincidence basically the moment they turned the machine on after 20 years of preparation.

I compare Suicide Squad to Night of the Living Dead. One was vilified for it's explicit gore, but went on to radically reshape a genre.
Suicide Squad is not that movie.

…I’m seeing people say “just don’t use an iPhone.” It’s not that simple when everyday things like financial apps with two-factor authentication are locked into the two main platforms.
We need legislation to ensure critical services use open standards so you can use your Pinephone to buy lunch in the future.
It’s shocking how easily some folks jump to “just go live in a cave.” No, that’s not an acceptable alternative. We deserve to partake in modern life without sacrificing our human rights…

Oh. I also had to replace a deck board while I was at it. Good times. Good times.

We took a short trip with the kiddo, but came home a day early as none of us were getting sleep. So I finally had time to deal with a bit of a rot problem on our deck. It took the standard 3 extra trips to the hardware store. I'm mostly amazed I was able to do demolition without causing more damage. The bad state of the wood helped quite a bit. You could tear a lot of it apart with your bare hands. I'm glad I got it done, but there's always more to do. Buh.

- Top of support post that has thoroughly rotted. The hand rail is exposed. (remote)
- The backside of the post. It's a little tough to see, but the rot continues down the post. Mushrooms are growing off the post. There had been more earlier, but I had brushed them off. (remote)
- A view of my deck from the back with the section of the hand rail tossed to the ground. Watch your step! I hadn't yet removed the problematic post. (remote)
- A view of the deck after I finished rebuilding the section I demolished. It is now probably as safe as it ever has been. (remote)

https://www.vaxteen.org/ exists to help them out. There’s resources for both trying to convince the parents and state-by-state information for speaking authoritatively with medical staff about their rights. In some states the age of medical consent to vaccination is 13!
