Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My boss said the same thing, so I am about to go home. Yay? Ish.

YOU DON'T PUT A BLANKET OVER A COUPLE MILLION DOLLAR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WITH MOVING PARTS BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE BLINKING. JESUSFUCKINGCHRIST.

Did they unplug it so they could use the outlet, too?

Of course not. You put electrical tape over the blinking light.

It's a really big light.

I guess I should be grateful I caught it. And they didn't break it (which would have hosed operations.)

And they didn't use duct tape.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

"I accept these minor edits if they are journal policy."

I accept these edits if you force me to, but I want it made clear that my writing is superior, and it's only being changed because of some stupid "policy."

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I wonder if the blanket was applied by the same people who complained about how dark it was in my planetarium.

DEEP BREATHS.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

People are weird.

Do most people use more plate/silverware dishes, or pots/pans/bowls. I am a single person, and I at most for one meal I use a plate and a bowl, but I can use 2 - 3 pans and mixing type bowls. I was shopping for a dish rack, and realized all of them are for dishes, with nowhere to really put the pans, so I started thinking I use an excessive amount of pans. Or maybe the ratio is just different for non-living-alone type people. But I am not sure what to do about a dish rack.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

But I am not sure what to do about a dish rack.

When I wash pots and pans, I set them on the stovetop to dry.
