I did that, but on the ride to school.

Looks like a kind of bower some birds make to attract mates. Saw it most recently in that "Dancing with the Birds" documentary. Obviously very different birds and locales, but seemingly similar structures.

I had no idea that the Creed and the Mung bean scene from The Office was a literary reference, of which this painting is an illustration, to Lord Dunsay's Lord of Death. Mind fucking blown.

Complimenting people can feel like a shameful act. But, I've tried to learn to not be ashamed about being genuinely complimentary as long as I'm not being a creep or intrusive about it.

  • That's a great color on you!
  • Random thing I admire about you that you clearly chose or cultivated.
  • Somebody here is wearing an amazing perfume/cologne.
  • You handled that situation with a grace/creativity/enthusiasm that I envy.
  • Your's was a truly insightful or creative take.
  • NOT comments on the things about themselves they have little or no control over (like height for men, or breast size for women. You're complimenting people not objects).

I like to just drop the genuinely positive truth bombs and walk away like a geriatric crop dusting the early bird special. They (the target of said compliment) should not feel obligated to acknowledge reciprocate in any way. This suddenly feels shamefully long winded. Be cool to each other.

Why do you think this is true? Where do you think this is true?

Odd design choice. My oven turns the light on when the door is opened (in addition to a manual option). Maybe somebody "repaired" your oven at some point and replaced the door switch for the light with the wrong type? I had to be aware of this when I replaced a similar switch connected to a relay that turned a light on in a closet when you opened the door. I don't remember the specific jargon at the moment, but it boiled down to whether or not the switch was open or closed by the action of depressing the switch. I think the language might have been something like normally open or normally closed.

In order to keep printers working properly they require regular blood sacrifices, tears are also acceptable. Most printers get these by accident as people clear paper jams, refill ink or toner cartridges, etc. Some printers clearly behave and perform better long term than others. More complexity (colors, 2 sided printing, large format, etc.) usually correlates to a larger thirst for blood/stress/anxiety. Remember Colin Robinson, the psychic vampire from "What We Do in the Shadows"? I'm pretty sure his spirit animal would be a color inkjet printer/scanner combo from late 90's.
