And that's just the first song!
Looks like a Chikorita that got burned to death.
The tennants of my apartment mentioned a while ago there was some minor spots of humidtiy, and maybe I should send someone over to look into it. The plumber I asked still hasn't visited.
Now they've sent over this little video. WHAT THE FUCK THAT ISNT A LITTLE HUMIDITY YOU IDIOTS!
Guess my fire insurance will be very happy to get a second claim within a year of the last one for pretty much the same leak. Ugh.

Just FYI -- your post does not constitute a legally rigorous alibi.

Me: "Ah, I finally looked around and found a theme I like for my Roku TV. It was a bit of a hassle as setting your theme is 5 menu layers deep and the "store" for them is impenetrable mush, but now that's taken care of."
Roku TV: "HA HA SUCKER, Disney just cut us a check so YOUR THEME GOES AWAY NOW! Enjoy THIS theme we're installing now that is just literally a static ad for Disney+!"

This is why I didn't want a $mart TV.

To be fair, I could have just not put it on my wifi so none of the "smart" features would have worked.
But the roku apps for Plex, Crunchyroll, Amazon prime, netflix, etc are all pretty handy :/

I've been sick since last week, and on Saturday I was tired and pushing myself to get some food made, and I ended up cutting the index finger on my left hand. Took off about a third of my fingernail, but was shallow enough that I wasn't in danger of losing the tip. Lots of blood, lots of pain, but at this point it's more of an annoyance than anything. I didn't mention it sooner because I was so stressed worrying about it that I didn't want to think about it too much.
So, between that and being sick, I stayed home from going to my grandmother's for Thanksgiving. So I'm home alone. That's not really part of the rant, since it's neither good or bad. I'm too tired and feeling awful to worry much about missing out on anything, but I'm also kinda relieved to not be worrying about my dad and uncle bringing up politics (which they usually don't, but with the impeachment going on....)

We just got finished booking our trip to Disney for January when my Aunt & Uncle emailed my whole family saying they are going to pay for tickets and lodging for a family Disney trip next November (they are both doctors with no kids, that's how they can afford it). We only have to get ourselves down there and pay for food. So now we are going go to Disney World TWICE in ONE YEAR! *harrumphs dramatically*
...wait, this isn't the Epic Win thread

Last night we blew a fuse. I was playing Ark at the time and had just started adventuring underwater, which is VERY dangerous. I was getting chased by a big fish with teeth and keeping up, but then everything went dark. Ran to the store - Walmart since it was after 11 and all hardware stores were closed - bought a new fuse...and nothing happened. So now the basement, main bedroom, the ONLY bathroom, and half the outlets in the living room are dark. Just heard from the landlord. His electrician doesn’t work on Sundays.

Probably very accurate. Although I’m seriously thinking about running an extension cord upstairs...
My wife and I are currently back in the UK to attend our graduation ceremonies. Hers is today. Unfortunately right now we're standing here in Paddington station because all train services have been suspended, as a result of some guy climbing onto the track and getting hit (and killed) by a train.
If we miss her graduation because of this dumbass deciding to get himself killed, I'll... well I suppose there isn't much else I could do to him. But I'll be very upset.

Did someone throw themselves on your hood?
Update on the incident. The puppy has been stabilized and is being kept sedated for pain. Looks like it just might pull through after all. They can't get further updates though without talking to the owners though so.... Unlikely.
Company owner threw out "70k" in terms of how much this is going to end up costing though. Still a big yikes for the company.

Keeping both of you in my thoughts tomorrow. I really hope everything goes well.
Soooooo... we're currently on the train on our way back to London, except the train is currently sitting in the station because, you guessed it, there was a fatality on the track just ahead of us. Fairly close to where the last incident happened, actually. It's gonna take another hour or two to clear.
I'm not sure what's happening in the Maidenhead/Taplow area, but apparently the train tracks are an unusually popular place for people to converge.
Should've taken the Eurostar to Brussels. Could've had a nice dinner with a co-
