That sound unhelpful, Tom. Got an ETA on when you'll get water back?

Le nubian, my first thought was sand. That's why I can never own property--eventually the bugs would gnaw it down around me and I'd be standing in the wreckage going, "I thought I just forgot to dust."

I have no idea who made le nub's dust.

Today I walked across a university campus and saw, from a distance, a public art display that made me think 1) ah, college, and 2) what is it with the modern abhorrence of pubic hair. Anyone want to guess what it was?

Scary task: totally easy. Life lesson? Probably not learned. Next task ensuing nowish.

I mean, I need a few minutes to gloat, right?

The water came back, but when it did, it was rusty. Grar. Hopefully, the water won't get shut off again while I redo my laundry.

Anyone want to guess what it was?

I'm too scared to guess.

I don't know how all y'all with regular jobs don't go about killing your coworkers on a regular basis.

Ahahahahahaha. Some of us fantasize about it, trust me. There's a particular dev here that I would like to set on fire.

Thinking again about what I posted, making some threads image-able (as in, the pictures are embedded in thread, not linked) would make a specific area of the site change in tenor, so if you have bandwidth or passing off as work issues, you could ignore that thread, or turn images off (my style sheet forces them off, for instance).

I think it would really change the feel and usefulness of b.org for me. Things do change though.

Personally, I am not in favor of having images embedded. This is the one place I can read casually wherever I am and not worry if someone glances over. And I used that functionality a lot when I had a job too. Especially a thread like Beep Me that I click as soon as I see there is a message but I'd be very wary of doing that if images were a possibility. We're not Tumblr. I kinda hope we never are.

If we want an image thread, that's easy enough for me to not subscribe to but if we're adding images to other threads, less easy to avoid.

but I do love our clean uncluttered text look.

I both like it and like being able to choose to follow links.

His response? "Tonight. I'm ugly right now". WTF?

I don't know whether I hope it's a mistype of "on it" or he really thinks being ugly is a reason for not making deadlines.

So, the art display was large (2.5 x 3 feet) close-up photographs of vulvas, large enough that it was clear that's what they were from 100 yards away. I did not divert from my course to read the artistic/polticial statements or whatever that were placed next to the photographs. (I was not shocked; I went to a college where we had Clitoris Awareness Week. But I did wonder how many poor innocent Ohioans were shocked.)

Sigh. When it comes to aesthetically unappealing parts of the human anatomy, i think vulvas and scrotums (scroti?)top the list.

I went to a college where we had Clitoris Awareness Week.

That's probably helpful in college.
