...you are really good at this.Shall we call you the Vagrant Erudad?After 36 hours, and lots of issues, we finally had the C-Section. Mom got put under as they were closing her up, due to a panic attack mid-operation, so I got to hold her first. (Mom did get her when she came to, fed her, and such, and both girls are PTFO now.)
My baby didn't cry. At all. (Even when she got her first shots later she barely did.) And when I got her in the room and held her for the first time, she opened her eyes, looked up at me, and smiled - right there, just a big grin, like "HI DAD!"

...yes, this is worthy of cookies.

Well we just got our first, reported, official case of it here in Lousy-Anna.
So its all downhill from here!
(Have you SEEN images/videos of the insanity that is Mardi Gras? 'Sanitation' means picking up TONS of garbage left over afterwords!!)
;P
That is Saint Patrick's day here in Savannah ga. One of my friends needs some help so I will be down on river st helping him out this weekend during the festival. Yay?

Nice one, TVE & partner! :) :) :)
Admittedly, I've never seen Thundercats.To YouTube, Scint. Your presence is no longer needed.
Aww dammit they took Iczer 3 off Youtube!
Wow, that is some peak Tenchi Moon'dam-lookin' anime right there!
(Not saying any are derivative, other than general anime inspiration of anime - just pointing out the first things that come to mind, as they spring heavily to mind!)
TACTICSLION.
This is ICZER.
It is it's own anime, of the gynoid subgenre specifically.
It came out in 1983, with the initial TATAKAE!! ICZER-1 movie, which was soooooooo shojo-ai it wasn't funny. The sequel, TATAKAE!! ICZER-3 came out YEARS after that, and was beloved, but they admitted they tried too hard to introduce new characters while using almost the EXACT SAME PLOT from TATAKAE!! ICZER-1(they tried to explain this was the future with character from the same bloodline as the main character from the first show, but not many people bought that).
Another show, ICZELION, came out in the 00s, but it was a rather short show focusing on transforming magical girls, and was a distant relation to the original series.
Yeah, that all sounds kind of Tenchi Moon'dam, right there!
I like the sound of the lion-thingy!

Wow. I haven't heard any actual, real-life people on either side of the spectrum spout that level of nonsense.The people I know on the right are convinced the other side is making up the corona virus to tank the economy.
The people I know on the left are convinced the other side is making up the corona virus to suppress voter turnout.
This is why I hate the Midwest sometimes.
Really?
You know what they say in Wisconsin, if it didn't happen here it's obviously made up!
If it wasn't for the cheese I would be pretty sure Wisconsin was made up so maybe theirs a thing going on their.

I preferred Silver Hawks myself...WOAH, A SHOW CALLED "TIGERSHARKS" EXISTED?
WHAAAAAAAAAAAA
SILVER HAWKS! Half machine Half real! (because apparently machines aren't real?) Also Their was a whole planet of mimes in that series. An ENTIRE planet of mimes. Can you imagine how tragic and hilarious a nature disaster would be?

You think they have mime natural disaster as well as regular ones? like they all get together and fake earth quakes... I wouldn't mind seeing them fake a tornado honestly.

I agree, not touching your face is super hard. I do it all the time. One of the reasons I never bothered with make up. It would just not stay on.Casual contact when you fix glasses
Wipe sweat or dust off your face
Grabbing that uncontrollable eyebrow twitch (maybe this one's just me)
Fixing my mustache/beard
Getting said mustache/beard out of my mouth
Gently rubbing that one itch - you know the one, it's right there, you know...
I mean, I'm workin' hard at it, over here, Reality, but ya gotta give me somethin' to work with! This mess - *gestures at self* - ain't exactly cuttin' it!
*Washes hands... again*
EDIT: sigh
Dont forget rubbing your eyes once in a while.
Face palming/grabbing the bridge of your nose when someone does/asks something monumentally stupid.
Gently rub chin while thinking.

Let’s just be clear - DST as an on/off twice yearly ritual sucks and needs to go away.
So, proponents of “hour forward” or permanent DST suggest the extra sunlight could be good for us.
Proponents of no DST suggest it’s closer to our natural rhythms.
So what if we - and this is a complex idea, but stay with me - what if we... set our clocks half an hour ahead of what was expected as “standard” time. And just left them there. Forever. Difficult conceptually, I know.

That's the secret of DST - you're not actually "gaining" an hour - it's going back to the (presumed) "base" time that it should have already had.

It's meant to be 2D pictures of people painted to look like paintings instead of 3D objects. Sometimes it works well right up until they move.

My issue is that I'm a physicist. "Noon" is approximately when the sun hits its highest point in the sky. (Yeah, yeah, an approximation.) "Midnight" is the opposite.
I'd rather see people play with work and school start times than mess with the clock so that we have to teach kids, "Yeah, 'high noon' is actually an hour before the sun's zenith, 'cause we couldn't handle actually, y'know, changing traditional start times or anything."
Seems just sad. "It's easier to change everyone's clock than it is for me to open my store an hour earlier."

I posted this in DM Cal's thread, but here's what I know...and think...and in some cases wish...
So Saskatchewan, Arizona, and Hawaii do not change times. I'm being inclusive, Canadians, and also implying Canadian provinces are US states at the same time! I leave it to you to figure out how to react to that.
Illinois is in the process of officially trying to go to permanent CDT.
Well over half the states don't want to change times. Last count I heard was about 32 of them.
So, knowing how the US is running right now, this is what's going to happen.
51 states (including Saskatchewan again) will some how go to a fixed time zone. Except they'll all individually pick what they want, there will be no consistency, and no effective federal oversight to iron it out.
Illinois goes to permanent CDT.
Kansas decides they like permanent CST.
Missouri is caught in the middle, and the great Kansas City v St. Louis Civil War begins in earnest. Most residents of Missouri don't notice.
Texas declares its own entire time zone. It's just like CDT, but don't tell them that.
Louisiana goes to permanent Mardi Gras Time.
Arkansas abolishes clocks.
Washington DC, not being a state, needs Congressional approval to make this change. Never gonna happen.
Oklahoma just does whatever Texas does. But don't tell them that.
Florida is abolished from the time stream completely. Even Dr. Who doesn't care about this development.

Freehold sadness moment:
Last night it was cool, but not cold, and crisp; maybe in the high 58s. Puffy clouds skidded across under a glowing moon, and the scent of jasmine was everywhere.
Spring is here, Freehold. Spring is here...

Texas declares its own entire time zone. It's just like CDT, but don't tell them that.
Texas, upon realizing this, decides that everything in Texas is bigger and declares hours to be 75 minutes. They double down and lengthen the days, snowballing frantically into the creation of the Lone Star Calendar rather than admit they've made an error. This requires immediate mandatory overtime from statewide IT departments as they try to convert their computers to a calendar that didn't exist 5 minutes ago and is supported by nothing.

Nobody, we can't get people to reliably wash their hands in the bathroom. Changing a clock is advanced.
