holy crap, after a relentlessly grey (and rainy) day here yesterday and greyer than grey this morning, I looked up and was blinded by the sun reflecting off the white wall of the building next door. I should take a walk!

It's blue and sunny and in the high 50s here.

Well hey, at least it's grey. Grey isn't so bad. Brown is bad.
Especially in Gandalf's boxer briefs.
Yeah, grey's okay in small, foggy doses. It's invigorating to get off a stuffy Muni train in my neighborhood and get a face full of fog. It's Emmett's favorite weather - foggy and grey.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It is also invigorating to drive to work when it is foggy enough to reduce visibility to about 50 feet and have someone tailgating you.
But maybe not in the same way.

tommyrot, you might want to see if there's a local tennant's rights group. You can let them know, so at least a complaint gets lodged against the property manager. It might not get the laundry machines replaced any faster, but it's something you can do to let other people know what kind of problems exist.

Yet another reason to love Emmett.

Well crud-- it would appear that I might have a sensitivity to bamboo fibers in fabric. I bought some socks that had the fibers in them and the first time I wore a pair, my ankles, in particular, felt slightly itchy-- I put it down to them being brand new, so I washed all of the pairs. Put a pair on today, my ankles started itching again-- to the point where I stripped off the socks, slathered on cortisone, and popped half a dose of antihistamine.
Now I no longer itch, but I'm sleeeeeeeeeepy. (Yeah, I'm a lightweight.)
This sucks though, since I'd been thinking of buying some bamboo fiber towels for our bathroom.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I didn't realize low entropy resulted in the distinction between past and future! I don't even know what that means, really.
I attended a talk on this last month. You want I should get you an explanation?

I like that weather, too, Hec, but I've always thought it was because we don't have it often.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Physicists have a really hard time with time because, mathematically, there's nothing different about time compared to the other three dimensions. There shouldn't be any reason why we couldn't move around in time like we can move in space, and yet, we can't. And physicists can't say why.
