yesterday afternoon, i thought spring was officially here when i saw a toy ball bounce over a roof, rolling into the driveway then street, being chased by a girl through the front door and her brother around through the side gate.
this morning, if the temperature doubles, it will still be freezing. I am happy to slow cook ribs today instead of shooting on location which according to weather.com will have dropped from 73°F yesterday, to 23°F by this afternoon.

Does anyone have any idea what those phone calls are where someone says "Hello" after you and then they either hang up or then say something else like "how are you" and then hang up. Totally robots, but i don't get what the gameplan is. they don't even try to scam or anything. technology is so weird sometimes.

- all i say is hello when i answer and then i just sit there.capn_ron
- I often play old interviews or Steve Allen records
https://www.youtube.…futurefood - it's a thing even before AI speech.

Digging through 12"s today I came across this one by Mark Stewart & The Maffia which has old phone numbers from Adrian, Rusty and others written on the fold-out poster sleeve, can't remember how I came by it but as it's 40+ years old I guess those numbers don't ring no more!
- that's a great 12. i have that as well, tho without adrian sherwood's phone number...hans_glib

I'm "quiet quitting" my job.
I feel I'm underpaid, and my three best friends at the office left. Two got different jobs, and one just flat out quit. They work different roles and went to small companies, so no room for me to join.
I asked for more money and was denied.
My direct report is lazy and I'm tired of following up just to get things moving.
So I'm working less and just enough to keep people satisfied. And whatever takes too long, I can blame on my higher up.
No one has ever accused me of not doing my job.
- Walmart Greeters have a such a tough job, they're underappreciated and underpaid, I don't blame you one bit for quitting! Best of luck on your job search.utopian

one of the sections is numbered 6.6.6 so I'm changing the weights of each s, l, a, y, e, and r in all the paragraphs. toying with altering the kerning but I don't want to make it too obvious, especially in long-ass Swedish words.

I saw imbecile's post on what he feeds his dog (see pg 3772) and wanted to make him feel a bit better... with a bit of context...
In between design gigs, I've found immense joy and fulfillment in dog training. Specifically, I've been working with reactive and aggressive dogs, giving them a shot at a happy, shelter-free life. This led to me working on the weekends with the military and police dept doing K-9 training.
I ended up adopting a Belgian Malinois (I renamed Mattis after Gen. Jim Mattis) that was supposed to go to the Marine Corps but somehow ended up with an extremely abusive civilian owner who thought beating a dog with a metal rod was a good Idea.
After a year of hard work he's living the good life with my chihuahua mix, Jolene
I'm currently training him to do search and rescue work and personal service dog work (combat ptsd). His protein requirements are absolutely bonkers and for anyone thinking of getting a working dog, this is what he eats 2x a day:
- Beef stew meat
- Beef cheek meat
- Sardine
- Quail egg
- Blueberries
- Apple
- A small scoop of Stella & Chewy Raw coated kibble
- Splash of goats milk
- Supplements, olive oil, apple cider vinegarFor treats he gets cow trachea, raw chicken feet and frozen carrots
- Dog eats better than me :)_niko
- I'll have to film us training. He works really hard for that raw food. :PGM278
- Nice! My mal is an abused rescue, too. Giving her what she wants is kind of a no brainer I’d love if she could get such scent training.imbecile
- Wow. Beautiful pup. I always wanted a Malinois. I imagine the original owner was the horrible combination of "didn't know what they were getting into"..garbage
- ..and "total fucking asshole that deserves a metal rod themselves".garbage
- Surprisingly, she knew. The PO did bite competition sports and doesn't know what she's doing....and is a psycho who shouldn't be allowed near animals.GM278
- @imbecile I love doing scent training work. Happy to send you resources if you want to learn how to get started.GM278
- Dogs eat better then the average American, i can tell you that.milfhunter
- Handsome pup!skinny_puppy
- Great save, also shout out to Jolene.garbage
- I can't unsee that slab of meat in the bowl that looks like dogs fcae.utopian
- A nice, wholesome post. Keep up the good workstoplying
- cow trachea doesn't get enough mention these daysmisterhow
- It's a great way to help clean a dog's teeth (besides brushing) and is a great source of glucosamine. ;)GM278
