I only found this out the other night because my fridge went dead silent for a long time. I thought it was borked, so I was peering deep into the freezer when I saw The Gates of Hell through the grate.

(Okay, so full disclosure, I had smoked some pot, but it totally looked like when Dana opened the fridge to Zuul before she was The Gatekeeper.) 😱😱😱

Anyways, turns out it was in defrost mode (which happens twice a day), and that involves some elements going orange or something. I know that's vague-- I looked it up, but as I mentioned, I was high, so I only kinda remember, lol.

Edit:

The refrigerator activates a heating element located near the evaporator coil. This element warms the coils, causing any ice buildup to melt.

That makes it look all Loony Toons :S

Guy has totally bought his own press.. wait, what

Jokes aside-- Fuck Bezos. I hope him and Musk get their just desserts.

We had what, three, referendums about it and people voted against it every time. It's mind-boggling.

Voters were asked whether they would prefer to keep the existing first-past-the-post system or move to one of three forms of proportional representation.

I found the article from the last one, if anyone is interested: CBC article

I am beyond relieved that the NDP stayed in :D

Lol, WTF? Why is this bot's font getting bigger/bolder?

Poor wee robot-- yelling won't make your comments more visible through all the downvotes.

Edit: two days ago you were more polite:

The woman who had no issue lunching with Putin in 2015 after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014? The woman whose current position is for not providing Ukraine with monetary/military assistance?

That's not a good record on genocide.

Oh yay, I get to post the new image I found the other day!

Image: Cartoon woman smiling, wearing headphones. Labelled "YOU".

Man smiling, bent over in background with tube up butthole that leads to headphones. Labeled: The Joe Rogan Experience.

I'm unfamiliar with this news site, but they must know they have to do better on sources, because this sounds like reporting on rumours.

"Several social media users, including commentators and reporters..." (emphasis mine).

Interesting that the right is already accusing them of potentially using deepfakes in the future. Maybe they know of something captured in video, or maybe random blanket statements of innocence are necessary with a knob end like Trump.

I also hope no one was victimized.

I'm learning Polish, and spelling (rz dz sz cz ł and ą ę ż ś) is all fine for me-- the thing I struggle with is the grammatical cases. The fact that the ending of everything changes is what has caused me to give up twice 🥺

I will pick it up again, but I sucked at the Masculine/Feminine thing with French, and this is a lot more difficult.

CAT:

• KOT
• KOTA
• KOTU
• KOTEM
• KOCIE <--- (This is where I quit: Locative case took the T away WTF?!)

Przepraszam moja drogi!!

Looking at that list we (humanity) are screwed.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Wayyy past the number of corporate billionaires I'd be comfortable having in politics, and for them to go from lobbying in the background to centre stage is worrying.
