I work from home full time, have been for 2+ years. It was hard to adapt (most of my prior job experience had been front-line IT with lots of face interactions), but it has grown my self-discipline by leaps and bounds, while forcing me to keep my "social" and "work" lives separate. If I feel...

She unfriended me on all social media at some point today (except on tumblr, they blocked me there), so I took that as my cue to make it "Facebook official." At least this means I won't be constantly breaking the news to people as I see them, which is a bit exhausting. What I probably hate most...

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a valid remedy would be to have Congress authorize the President to appoint additional judge(s), effectively diluting or cancelling out any perceived taint. That or passing a constitutional amendment allowing Congress or the Executive to...

As long as they're sleeved and you're not playing sanctioned/DCI, who cares?

That was pretty good.

I think the thread about genealogy sites being used to solve cold cases got memory holed, but this seems as good a place as any. ABC News: DNA on gum, water bottle leads to DJ's arrest 26 years after teacher killed

On the less dim side:

Yeah, I'll probably keep this thread as a place to throw how I'm feeling in relation to this. Asking for help was a surprisingly hard step, but I have been amazed at the kindness of (most) people in my life. I've considered adopting another cat, but for now I'll let that idea lie. I'm still in...

I don't feel like throwing this into a blog or the whine thread, so y'all can have it here. This is what I've been vaguely referencing these past few months in Whine/Rant, so consider this a summation of what I should've been posting but didn't feel comfortable or able to share. This is an...

So far I'm eyeing... Grim Dawn at $7.49 (historical lowest of $6.24 thru Steam) Of Orcs and Men (precursor to Styx) at $2.24 (historical lowest) Death Road to Canada at $8.24 (historical lowest) The End Is Nigh at $5.99 (historical lowest) Slay the Spire at $10.07 (historical lowest of $10.00...

Chicken breast with mozzarella, topped with roasted tomatoes, garlic, and pine nuts. Really tasty for an "ah, stuff is expiring" improv.

$1,032.12 from Steam, $159.76 on Humble Bundle, and $34.75 from other sources. 321 games on Steam, though I must have a few dozen unredeemed on Humble Bundle.

There's quite a few people that call me "Den" IRL. Mostly Americans that met me online first, and half my friends circle in Spain (I've had this handle since age... 10?).

Limited-time limited-amounts Paypal offer for $5 off one $30+ Steam purchase (see this reddit thread for details, this comment chain for how to just add $30 to your Steam wallet instead of hastily shopping). Edit: Worked for me, at least. As Cog points out, though, limited to U.S. residents.

Budget of $250M-300M, so break-even is probably somewhere in the $500-600M region, box office of $343.3M thus far... Dunno about bad, but it definitely isn't looking good. Disney has plenty of other projects that produce profitable movies and also move a ton of toys.

I really can't picture how they'd get around the 14th Amendment without the SCOTUS slapping them down hard. However, there's a decent-looking law review essay on that very subject, which I'll read when I have time (tomorrow's lunch break?): Anchors Aweigh: Analyzing Birthright Citizenship as...

I'd be speechless if your Congress got its shit together long enough to pass any constitutional amendment, and it got ratified. Short of that, I don't think anyone can take away jus soli. Births abroad are a different matter entirely, of course.

You know, the thing that makes me salty about this is that since it's a USCIS initiative, it'll be funded by immigrant fees (like practically everything USCIS does). This is what they choose to spend our money on, instead of (to name one possibility) hiring/training more data entry folk and...

Where is the pain? I was dealing with persistent lower back pain, but it's gone away since switching to a kneeling chair (would've been a yoga ball, but I was worried about the cats clawing at it).
