The new dishwasher is not the super-quiet brand we had hoped to install, but could not because the flippers who redid our house screwed things up. But even the relatively noisier modern dishwasher we got is a lot quieter than the 20-year old model we had before.

The Dallas Express, a right wing "news" website that routinely quotes groups that were secretly funded by the website's publisher Monty Bennett, has been given a White House press pass under the "new media" program that also includes folks like Russian-funded podcaster Tim Pool.

When I'm laid low by fatigue, I like to watch videos on my phone. The algorithm has (correctly) decided I like to watch repair and renovation of wood furniture. Videos of woodworking and furniture repair have convinced me of a few things.

Having nonalcoholic drinks for any type of guest is just basic good hosting.
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I regret how many years it took me to realize that “run like a business” means “run with as little leadership accountability as humanly possible”.

So a while back I was commissioned to do short bios of various rock stars, and they were just about universally total psychopaths, with the huge exception of Freddie Mercury. A lovely man who did good by his wife, his lovers, and his cats.
Today (24 November) marks the passing of Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. He remains regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music.

And you may find yourself living in an Apostolic Palace
And you may find yourself in a city that's inside Rome
And you may find yourself behind the glass of a large Popemobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful cassock, with designer shoes
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.
